Janis Joplin lives on........
|
Janis Joplin, a blues singer from Port Arthur, Texas, was a sensational singer with an amazing, charismatic stage presence. She could sing torch songs with the best of them, as well as write and perform her own heartfelt material. "Pearl" is a posthumous tribute to Joplin, who didn't live along to reap the fruits of the great success and acclaim of the music heard here.Some of the hits showcased, here, are the ones that she is best known for. They are well-loved by many, and transcend time, space and generations. They include "Move Over," "Cry Baby," "Me and Bobby Magee" (penned by Kris Kristofferson), and "Mercedes Benz." We also hear live recordings of a bunch more songs, previously not featured on the original recording.This is a great introduction to Janis Joplin, as an artist, a performer, a songwriter and a legend. In a world full of imitations, this is the real thing......

Auto Seat Back Protector
|
My new car has off white leather seats, and I have two 5 year old grandchildren that like to put their little feet on the back of my seats. This is the perfect solution. The plastic is not light weight, very durable. Comes in a package of two and for the price is a great deal. Wish I had this on my other car!

A quick reading fun novel that takes a look at relationships
|
I enjoyed this novel because the story content was modern and light. I like the author's style of writing and cannot wait for his next novel! This book shows me that some men do have insight into how women think!? How'd he do that?

Don't waste your time.
|
This movie was not a very in-depth movie. The main character, the girl, is crazy. The ending was awful. The background music is bizzare. Don't waste your time.

They chopped down trees for this?
|
Frankly let's face it. If Clinton was Republican this book would not have been written. If it is 'morality' that Bennett is concerned with why doesn't he investigate the moral conduct of the likes of Gingrich and Mr Hyde - to start with. If the President is to set good moral example, so too do other senior politicians - no more and no less.

What's different?
|
I've had this CD for more than five years... can anyone tell me what's different about this edition compared with the one Apple released in the mid-90s? Is it a pure reissue, or is there any modification in the track listing or the sound quality.The version I've got is wonderful. Hearing the Beatles play together as a band is the primary pleasure of their early recordings, and this is the closest you can get to the sound they made as a foursome, playing dirtyass rock and roll. Very worthwhile.

Limited, outdated, inferior to several other similar texts
|
Stanly Hoppenfeld has written some excellent books (e.g. surgical exposures, orthopaedic neurology) but unfortunately this is not one of them. Our understanding of the pathomechanics of the musculoskeletal system has advanced considerably since 1976 when this text was published. As others have pointed out, there are several important tests that are omitted and the illustrations are mediocre at best. Diagnoses such as shoulder superior labral tears, HAGL lesions, posterolateral corner knee injuries, etc. are not mentioned. This book might be OK for some practitioners, but for physicians it just doesn't cut it. My personal favorite is Bruce Reider's "The Orthopaedic Physical Examination." Some people like MaGee's "Orthopedic Physical Assessment,"-- I don't--but even that book is better than this one. If you need a book on the musculoskeletal examination, choose a different book---there are many better choices out there.

Every little aid helps
|
As a "senior adult" with both arthritis and Parkinson's Disease, I need all the help I can get. My handwriting has become virtually impossible to read because it is so small. Trying to read my grocery list in the grocery store is sometimes a real guessing game. The Pen Again writing stylus is a real help. I am still adjusting to the new finger placement, but I do believe it is an advantage.

SOUND PROBLEMS
|
The movie itself I actually give 5 stars... it's totally fantastic! BUT... did anyone else have problems with the SOUND on this DVD? It's unbelievably screwed up and un-adjustable. It literally makes the DVD unwatchale! It's kind of shocking that anyone would let this happen. Is it a mistake? I would love to get my money back but it's too much of a hassle. Otherwise, this is a GREAT Mario Bava film... really great... go fo a DVD from another company or the VHS copy though.

Best movie of 2010.
|
What more can I say, I seen this movie two times and it's worth every penny. I would def buy on Blue-ray when it comes out. This is one of those movies that draws you back in from the very began. It has been of of the best action movies I've seen in a good while, load with a lot of star power.

Try Americolor instead
|
I have used this coloring several times and always end up with a weird purple fondant instead. I even have a hard time making gray. You could use the method of mixing the dye to the melted marshmellows or using dark modeling chocolate with it to give it a base (Google: How to make Black Fondant) but from what I've read Americolor has a better black dye. I use Wilton products all the time but this one is a dud.

Do not buy this game.
|
I bought it, read the DRM provisions and returned it, uninstalled. I'd messed with the Creature Creator since it was available. The game seems wonderful, and I'm firmly of the belief that the DRM makes the game completely worthless. Three Installs. That's it. Sorry, that's simply unacceptable, EA.

Waste of Money
|
This game looks really cute and could actually be a fun game, BUT....the pieces are way too small and slide around under the game board so they are virtually impossible to get out. It makes no sense to make such large holes under the board for the tiny pieces! The game itself is cheaply made and not durable. My kids were completely disinterested and discouraged after the first loud buzzer went off. Your money is better spent elsewhere. [The] Uno card game is more fun and teaches numbers and colors at the same time!

Another crappy bloatware product.
|
I just want to reinforce what other people are saying about ZA being a resource hog. YES, IT IS A RESOURCE HOG. I just installed it on my mom's Dell P4 (XP), and the computer instantaneously went from having a 20-second startup to having a 5-minute start-up. Everything has slowed down. My God. It's not worth it. Why do they feel they can release software this bad? It's obscene.

Somewhat disappointing
|
I may have been spoiled witht the excellent recordings on the "Return to Cold Mountain" soundtrack (which shares some of the songs with this CD), but the quality of the playing on this CD just seems rather poor to me. I think better musicians can achieve a better result of these often nice tunes, which unfortunately are not that well played.

NOT a country fan, but this is damn good!
|
Just so you know where I'm coming from, the previous CD I was playing in my car was "By The Way" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the only other time I'd ever purchased any country music was a Garth Brooks cassette back around 1991 or so. I came across this CD entirely by accident while searching for Daniel Lanois-produced music (I came up with Teatro, which will be my next & probably last country CD), and happened to see this 4.5 star-rated CD on allmusic.com. This is such a powerful and moving CD with such an appealing instrumentation, that as long as you recognize good music, you don't need to be a country fan to enjoy this. You just need an open mind.

The corer is wonderful. It takes some pressure from the user to work (obviously) but it cuts the apple into perfect sections and the corer itself cleans up very easily. We are very happy with our purchase.

yes they did have help from the book but it doesnt matter because it is in the 60's and it is what happened in the future because the houses are like the future but not our future i think it was very well thought about what it would be like in the future i thought it was excellent but after i read this book i thought it was just ok because it is not following the book. well a lot of people i know couldnt understand because of the accents but i have had to live with my mom who is italian and with an accent and my friend is english so i am used to accents so i understood it very well i do suggest the book over the movie and they should make a new version

Yes, it is cheap price and also cheap made. The device is made in China. The battery cover is so easy to fall off. The edges don't look clean.I don't know how long it would last but personally I expect higher quality from Black and Decker.

Jubal Sackett
|
As usual Louis L'Amour has shown what a great writer he is. His creation of the Sackett dynesty may well be his greatest work. His dedication to fact is second to none and his dedication to making the reader live each book is his greatest gift to them. He will go down in history as one of the worlds greatest writers.

Listen to the real FAT man
|
This is one of the worst group of cover songs (with the exception of a few - and I mean a few) that I've ever heard. Immediately upon listening to these selections I popped in the real Fat Man and remembered how great he was. 90% of these songs lacked the soulful sound of Fats and could not come close to imitating him. As a tribute I do believe he deserved it, but as far as us listeners go, it was not good. If you bought it and the money went to the good cause it says it's going to, then at least that's something.I advise any young listeners who like this collection of artists, and are not familiar with Fats Domino, to not use this collection as any type of testimony to his greatness. LISTEN TO THE REAL FAT MAN!

What Moen Says ...
|
I called Moen to ask about the soap corrosion issue. They said that they were not aware of any issue, but that this product has a lifetime warranty for the original owner. I'm ordering this product and keeping my fingers crossed, but at least Moen is willing to back it up if it doesn't hold up to standard use.

Beware of old toys
|
Beware. The most recent reviews on this toy are all bad for a reason. I think this toy although new must have been sitting around a long time. The toy would not work and like the other reviewer we initially thought it was just the batteries. We replaced the batteries and the time still would not ever set correctly. The digital clock always showed the minutes as :01. I looked on Fisher-Price's website and it seems they no longer sell this toy. Save yourself the hassle and find something else to teach your child to tell time.

Everyone should own this CD!
|
Greg Weeks is a fantastic artist who everyone should be listening to. Having seen him live in concert, I can attest to the fact that this CD is definately worth your money! Although his music may be a bit depressing at times, it will definately touch the heart of any lost/romantic soul. If you like this album, I would also check out his previous recording, Bleeker Station.

Not a "How to book"
|
I read several critics reviews before making the purchase and was very excited about an instinctive method book. I read it from cover to cover over a weekend. I then went out Monday evening, full of warm and fuzzy feelings about dog training, to apply what I thought I learned and found myself staring at the dog not knowing where to start. I understand that the books overall theme was not just about yard work but I found the book more philosophical about the method and fell short where the rubber meets the road. I did use some of the material to tweak others teachers methods (Tarrant, Long or Smith). The book reads like a compilation of magazine articles that are loosely related and rambles a little to much for my taste(side bar information about his favorite dogs). It is a good winter fire side read and I highly recommend it as that, but not as an owners first hands on training reference.

This DVD is great, not only does it include tons of Music Videos, including three diferent versions of Pardon Me and 2 of A certain shade of green, BUT It also includes an entire concert. I would recomen this video to all Incubus fans, this DVD is way before Incubus changed into the radiofreindly band it became on Morning View.You can also see 4 great unplugged songs whch are just awesome. Nothing more to say really, it is just simply great.- This DVD is a must-

|
The safety is hard to turn off and run the knife. The safety should be able to turn off and it not automatically go back on. The blades are not a close fit and food ( especially meat) gets caught between the blades. It has a nice grip. Looks good. Easy to clean.

Incomplete investigation
|
So far I have watched only one of these stories ("The Case of the CroydonPoisonings") and sincerely hope that the remainder of the series will have more accurate information. I am the daughter of one of the Croydon family members and know that much of the information is incorrect. If anyone is interested in the definitive investigation into the Croydon poisonings, may I suggest reading "The Riddle of Birdhurst Rise" by Richard Whittington-Egan. You will come to the same conclusion as Scotland Yard: a very different conclusion than did Julian Fellowes!

Not What I Expected
|
I was really excited at the prospect of being able to brew my own coffee in the Keurig brewer and couldn't wait for this item to be delivered. Maybe I had set myself up by having such high expectations.When I brewed my first cup of coffee, I was so dissapointed. A lot of the grounds had been pulverized by the wire basket and ended up in my cup making the coffee undinkable for my tastes. I am so used to my paper filter coffee maker I guess.I tried cutting a paper filter down to size and sticking it in the wire basket. While it gave me better results, it wasn't good enough to be satisfactory and having to do the extra work takes away from the Jeurig convenience.I would say that this product is most likely good or even great for some, but not for me. I now use the K-Cup coffees. It is much easier and tastes a lot better as no grounds are getting into the cup.

Timeless love story
|
Rich girl meets poor guy. They fall in love. Rich girl's parents nix the romance. They're still in love. She becomes engaged to another man. They're still in love. And so it goes...as Allie and Noah go through a lifetime of barriers to an unlikely, but never-ending love story. The acting is good, the scenery is beautiful, and all in all this is a great tear-jerker. In his autobiography/travelogue, Three Weeks With My Brother, Nicholas Sparks writes that this book is based on his grandparents' love story. That makes this movie even more poignant. Watch this movie, but don't forget the Kleenex box.

Met my expectations.
|
I bought this for my wife as a birthday gift. She had been asking for one for a little while. It was rated high and the reviews were good so I pulled the trigger and purchased this. It has not disappointed my wife. She just made meatloaf with it the other night and the food processor was the only thing she needed. She has R.A. so mixing and chopping is difficult. This food processor should help her do many more things with cooking that were very difficult before. I'm also looking forward to reaping the benefits.

Okay but Messy....
|
We purchased this bag for a vacation we were taking a cruise and we wanted to use it when we left the ship. The bag was convenient to carry, however the faux leather began peeling. At first it wasn't so bad but then it became annoying because it then began flaking all over your skin and clothes. I would have rather the bag been a cloth bag with no flaking than the faux leather that I had to keep wisking away from my skin and clothes.

The True Face of Satan
|
Howard Stern always says if you wanna be rich you gotta start your own religion, thats exactly what the author, Rael, is trying to do here.The only truth about this book is that it is obviously the work of Satan through his demons who are actually aliens from outter space. The book actually tries to get the reader to look up into space and try to make telepathic contact with the "alien creators". (page 184) Its all BS and is an attempt to discredit the true creator of the universe.Satan knows he has little time before he is finished and is trying to do all he can to take as many people with him to hell, this is one more attempt at trying to trick people. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

NOT A KIDS REVIEW:: Not worth it.
|
This album is close to crap. "CAMERA OBSCURA" is just random sounds and singing. The only REALLY great Nico song on this CD is her version of "My Funny Valentine". Das Lied Vom Einsamen Madchen is just Nico singing in german over what seems like a very simple Pet Shop Boys beat but the Lyrics in english translation is typical and good Nico songwriting. I would rather buy Live In Tokyo, or any other album which is a better album than this.

Everything is Coming up Roses
|
I like Rosie. Her humour, her compassion, her philathropic values. She is a great woman - or so she presents herself to be - inside and out. This book 'Everything Rosie' is a biography and anecdotal book about the life of the actress/comedian Rosie O'Donnell. From the death of her mother at the mere age of 10, her talk show and to when she first became a mother to Parker.This a great book for fans to learn a little bit more about Rosie and where she comes from. You understand her a little bit better at the end of the book and admire her that much more.The book is written in different formats, using song exceprts, AOL snippets and show by show guest lists.Recommended for the fan by a fan . . . not for someone who does not enjoy Rosie O'Donnell

Dancing baby/ great wheel feature!
|
My 10 month old daughter loves this!! She has been cruising along couches for over a month, so I figured we'd try this out to help her practice walking. Pulled it out of the box, easily assembled it, and *POOF* I have a much more mobile baby! She loves all the buttons and lights, and dances to the music. This is her favorite now. Favorite feature: you can tighten the wheels so it doesn't fly faster than the baby can push it, without this feature, she'd probably had fallen face first. Great thinking VTech;)

My kids hated it.
|
Shatner trying to do a cat voice was a complete FAIL! My ears were bleeding after fifteen minutes of dialoged. A high pitched nasal nails-on-chalk-board kind of terrible; Shatner singing "Rocket Man" terrible! The singing in the movie is just as awful - it's pretty bad when the actor's voice always cracks during the high notes. The story made no sense and had no content. Not even humor. I mean, they tried to be funny, but the punch lines to every joke kind of drifted off and got lost in a corn field. Just don't watch it. Your children will thank you.

Excellent delivery of the MUSIC!
|
I agree, the first reviewer must have had an axe to grind. By his comments, perhaps he's sat through too many soprano laden church services. This is truly a fine soprano who delivers notes AND music. Mr. Parkening provides an excellent balance to the pure, simple and dramatic repetoire.

A Return to Form? A Return to Form?
|
I saw the label on the packaging for this album and thought,"maybe i should buy it to finally see if Yes got back to good musick". Instead i got an album that was not as bad as 90125 but not so great. It isn't the music itself, which is ok. Jon Anderson's lyrics and singing just gets worse and worse and cornier and cornier. You can just tell when he is going to sing the words "love" or "heart"-not creative. Anderson's lyrics on CTTE were much better, albeit not the greatest. And Alan White's drumming is always rather monotonous-he always uses the same style, unable to mix anything up remotely like Bruford did. I don't really understand people's ability to not only call him a good drummer, but the best the band has ever had. It's like saying the new Caffeine free diet coke is more tasty and refreshing than Coca cola Classic (sorry for the plug, Coke will kill you)

A great example of the worst book ever published
|
Let me start by stating that I am a highly liberal person, with a very leniant view on sex - with no sexual hang ups or anal-retentiveness, and even I was thrown off guard by this (let's say it)--Crappy book. This book was brought to my college-level children's literature class (we were discussing banned books.) I was highly surprised at how lewd the drawings were (not to mention inaccurate,) and that there was even a portion of the book dedicated to sexual positions. This book replaced our former book (Anna Day and the O-Ring) as the worst book ever published. Please do yourself a favor and find any other way to educate your children on Sex. Heck, it would be better to let them watch Nip/Tuck, at least they would get an accurate depiction of what sex is like.

Tears Of A Tiger by Sharon M. Draper
|
Tears of a Tiger is a GREAT book. I think that anyone that likes books about teens, and teen problems will LOVE this book. You can really relate to the characters in this story, especially if you know what they're going through. You really learn to feel for this characters. I personally really related to Andy, the main character. He goes through so many changes and you yourself kind of grow with him. You learn so much from him and understand that so many people have so many problems. Some people dont know how to deal with their problems so the relate to death, sucide, and overdose.By: Samantha from NY

Hitech - AC Adaptor Plug (converts European plugs to US Outlets)
|
We bought a small fan in Spain last summer to provide some ventilation in a small room some friends in Madrid were letting us use as we traveled around from one place to another. It was so efficient that we decided to make room for it in an extra suitcase we had to buy to get the things we acquired in Spain home. This adaptor plug works just fine in doing what it was designed to do. However, be aware of the fact that your appliance without further adaptors to change the current from 110 to 220 will function at about half the speed! Of course, you could plug your appliance into a 220 outlet if you can figure out how to make that work.¡Buena suerte! (Good luck!)

The Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo
|
The Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo is a great story to read. It is a true and terrifying adventure story told by man named Lt. Colonel John Henry Patterson who lived through and stopped one of the worse out-breaks of man-eating. For over nine months two maneless male lions terrorized the railway camps of the British built Uganda-Mombasa Railway in 1898 British East Africa (Kenya). Night after bloody night and even during the day the pair would break into the camps and kill the workmen that was constructing the Tsavo River Bridge and other works. The two lions manged to kill 135 people. 28 Indian coolies and scores of Africans employed on the railway. The story is both scary and exciting. A fine piece of work from the Victorian-Age. Colonel Patterson wrote this zoology leaflet for the Field Museum of Chicago, Illinois in 1925 when he sold the man-eaters' skulls and skins were they remain to this day.

Hilarious!
|
One of the best comedies I have seen, simply because it was just straight out, stupid, silly humor. If you're looking for some enlightning, intelligent quick, provocative humor, you're coming to see the complete opposite. It's just laugh out loud hilarity from start to finish. By the end of it, I needed it to end because I was just too exhausted from laughing!

Great Scenary and Surfing Film, Lacking Depth
|
So I picked this up as it was recommended based on my interest in gay themed films. Interesting. It's definitely shy in the gay content. However, if you're looking for a film with great surfing, lovely scenary, a few hot surfer dudes ad ample butt shots, watch this film. It was cute, but I won't be hurrying to watch it a second time.The plot goes something like this: a bunch of surfer dudes compete for a big title. 4 guys chase 2 girls, while 1 guy chases another guy. 3 older surfer dudes don't like the younger ones. They challenge them and tragedy strikes. An attempt at getting deep at this part is lost in the overall lightness of the film.I don't know much about surfing, but I hope it's not this mean-spirited of a sport. I don't think it is. Really not much else to say.

WORTH IT!!!!

This CD is very good for an EP. Awesome lyrics and better beats. Great style, true hip-hop. "D - Devastate, I - Impress, Z - Zestfully clean and fresh, another Z - that's the zip code that I got, on the north side of town, and Y - Why not? I got a flux capacitator in my model T ford, with a lot of gigawatts to go back to before..." look at them lyrics, just a sample. That was not even a good quote, just one I've memorized. Enjoy this CD because you are going to buy it!! I gave it four stars because some of the tracks are just OK, but it has a few that are absolute hits. (A 5 should be near perfect...)

AMAZING!

This stuff tastes exactly like soy sauce - only better! Seriously! I was on a health kick, and picked this up in the organics section of my local grocery store. I thought "eh, it will probably be weird, but it will be good for me." It is NOT weird at all! Compare the nutrition facts of Bragg Liquid Aminos and regular soy sauce and you will be amazed! regular soy has 920 mg of sodium PER SERVING, while Bragg's has only 160 mg. No need to refrigerate - and it has a 3-5 year shelf life but contains NO PRESERVATIVES. ZERO CALORIES. I will never go back to traditional soy sauce again!

The book written with the love to God
|
"Remind your people of this, and give them a solemn warning in God's presence not to fight over words. It does no good, but only ruins the people who listen". (2 Timothy, 2:14). God does not need any of our arguments to prove or judge His present in our life. Thank you Jesus for brother Jack! "Your wise men are put to shame; they are confused and trapped. They have rejected my words; what wisdom have they got now?" (Jeremiah, 8:9). Let be as children in God!

The video quality of this DVD looks like a bad VHS copy.
|
I agree with the others on screen adaptation quality. But the video quality is not up to par of other DVD presentations. After the dreamy opening credit, the video quality looks awfully hazy and just like a bad VHS copy. I didn't see the original A&E presentation on cable and have no way of comparing to it, but the video quality for this DVD set is TOTALLY unacceptable.

Photos Have A Pink Hue
|
I had a wonderful old printer that gave me the actual color that was shown in Photo Studio. It finally took the big dump. Then I bought this printer. I have never been so frustrated in my life. No matter what I do, my photos come out with a pink hue. Photos of faces look sickly. I did go into the advanced settings, but I am no photo genius, so I was not able to figure it all out. But heck, I don't want to have to fool around with the setttings every time. I just want a printer that does not print with a pink hue, ever!!! HELP!!!!

Inspirational
|
My Fight to Survive, An Inspirational True Story by Lisa L. Valvano is truly an emotional work of art. This autobiography traces the remarkable life of the author, who suffered a tragic childhood accident that took away many of her physical abilities but left her with a strong spirit and an even stronger sense of faith. Her story is one of enormous pain and suffering overcome by powerful determination to achieve what seems to be the impossible. This well-written narrative welcomes the reader into the author's mind and heart. Ms. Valvano sends a message of hope to anyone who has ever faced any kind of adversity. The story emphasizes how precious life is and how important it is to make the best out of every moment. Rather than conveying a sense of despair, Ms. Valvano succeeds in her quest to enlighten and inspire the reader. I highly recommend this remarkable story.

Should Have Read it in High School
|
I found this book to be ponderous and quite a bit less than the thriller it is touted to be. Although it was apparent the entire saga was going to take place in short period of time, I was never drawn to the "Oh my gosh, they better hurry!" that I'm sure was intended. The ending was somewhat anticlimatic, and the processess kind of outdated. I don't know: Maybe I should have read it when it came out and I was in High School... Definitely not Chrichton at his best.

constanly tripping on wheels, no good for anyone over 5'2"
|
My husband is 6 foot tall and there is no way he can push this stroller. It seems like no one took it out for a trial when they designed this. The handles are too short and the back wheels seem like they are too close together. Neither I nor my husband can push this without hitting our feet on the wheels, and I'm only 5'2". It is so annoying, you have to kind-of try to walk to the side, we are going to have to buy another (better designed)stroller. True it is lightweight and easy to fold up, however the little sidebags don't allow for much storage. It actually does seem durable, but it's not user friendly for pushing, which is what it is supposed to be made to do. Don't waste your money.

A truly chilling and emotional movie, the best yet...
|
I absolutely loved this movie! It was much better than Attack of the Clones, and that movie was spectacular. All the aspects of the Dark Side of the Force were pretty well mentioned in this movie. We all wanted to know why Darth Vader wears that big, black armored suit with the creepy breathing sounds, right? The main plot in the movie is Anakin is tempted by the Dark Side of the Force by Chancellor Palpatine. Watch and enjoy this movie as Anakin becomes Darth Vader and the jedi are destroyed. This chapter of the Star Wars saga has to the best!!

Bad, bad, really bad.
|
Words need not even be wasted on this product. Besides each character having a different voice than that in the movie, the audio effects are terrible, as well as the actors and script. The one good thing about this product is its availability is limited. Save your time, save your money. Don't let Lucas put his hand in your pocket.

I really wish they would come out with a 2nd CD with all the songs performed in the movie. Most people I have spoken to about this all agree. I hope you agree as well.My favorite song wasn't on it and I was very disappointed. When I listened to the whole thing and the ending song wasn't on there it was a shock. Ewan's voice gives me the chills and that song is one of the best he sings. Other than that I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND CD.

Wow!!! What a GREAT exercise tool!!!!
|
This is a GREAT exercise tool if you want to exercise your forearms, wrists, hands, and fingers. There are NO batteries, you can exercise while doing other things, and you are in complete control so you can exercise as intensely or as gently as you want. By switching back and forth, right side for a while, left side for a while, right, left, etc., you can exercise for as long as you want. What a great idea.

Great music - fits the series!
|
This is great music. I have not seen any of the anime yet, but I do read the series, and this OST even goes well with that. The period and mood are accurately portrayed by the music. It has just the right mix of happy and creepy. One of the tracks makes me think of an antique carnival where you expect monsters to jump out at you. If you enjoy this series in either form, I would definitely recommend getting this cd.

Very cool looking
|
These subs look amazing and with neon lights they really get your friends attention. However, if your looking for loud or clean bass then forget these subs. The enclosure rattles and although it says its MDF, im pretty sure its particle board. The subs are not polypropylene like advertised. The cone appears to be paper with a hard plastic like coating. It might be polypropylene coated but underneath its paper. I love how these subs look but replaced them with louder and better sounding subs. They are very inefficient as well. They take 250-300w rms but sound like 100w rms or less subs

Not good.
|
Although this recording might be useful by academia in disection of Bernstein, this is NOT a good recording. The over-all sound is very thin, thanks to 1960 recording technology. The New York Philharmonic isn't known for it's brass section, which makes the Trauermarsch very disappointing.Additionally, the tenuous saturation leaves much of the Adagietto to the imagination. I want my money back.

Although "outdated" still a great product
|
if you've been using the typical MS Office products over the past 15 years, stay with this version. I've been working with 2007 which is good. However, this still has the traditional toolbars and menus. I had to buy this for a client's PC....she is reasonably competent. However, she was NOT in the mood to readjust her brain cells to the "new and improved" (which it is in many ways, especially with richer, more elegant graphics). She needs to balance her budget and get correspondence completed without aggravation. This program is a workhorse and dependable.

Quality no longer there
|
I have been wearing gold toe socks for about 15 years now, but as other folks have pointed out, they don't seem to last long at all anymore. They don't seem to get holes, but the heal wears away pretty quickly (I just use them for work, no running or anything and nothing different from my older Gold Toes) I did notice that with this last set of socks I bought that they are no longer being make in the USA. I think they may have changed up the material being used at the same time.

Good book in a field that has few of them
|
This is a pretty good book on Java programming in a field that has few alternatives. I first bought the book Java Database Programming Bible, but it was over my head.I'm not a professional programmer---I dabble in Java, and Mr. Keough's book was written at a level that a hobbyist can understand.Some of the other reviewers knocked the book for having a Microsoft bias---but I own a copy of Access, so it made sense for me to have a book that uses Access as the database, not some open source database.My only knock against the book is that it does have some typos---thank goodness I read the book in conjunction with taking an online class given by Professor John Smiley---his margin notes and explanations, coupled with the great exercises provided by this book, have made me a Java Database programming wiz.

Not designed to last
|
We didn't use ours very much, but it still broke after 9 months. The bottom seal sprang a major leak after the olive oil was refilled (below the line, as the directions require) and just a single pump press was made. Maybe the oil was eating away the adhesive used by the manufacturer? Anyway, it's not so good to be left with an oily mess on your counter.

Inspiring, Easy to Understand
|
This book is terrific. It was recommended by a friend who had used it while going through a divorce. She said it saved her life. For me, it's been a real education in the use of sound and music for healing. It's also made me aware of the sounds that hurt us, and I've become so much more conscious of my audio surroundings. I've learned to eliminate harmful noise, and replaced it with healing sounds and music. The most healing music by far is the CD included in the book. The authors are also musicians, and their CD of harp and guitar music, some of it original, is absolutely beautiful. I imagine that the authors are very spiritual people; it comes through in the book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

a book of little not saying any use at all, it gives maybe just only one idea containted in it's title (but you don't have to buy the whole book to grasp the word) and for the same purpose you can find a better one by substracting the word modern of it if you are anxious for a book, if not, I would recommend the web.

A perpetual exercise in doubting 'the facts'; great mystery
|
The narration and elaborate descirptions in this book lure the reader in more and more. You cannot let one single aspect of the narration escape you, it's too important to the impact of the ending. There is also a plot within a plot in this book; the unfolding of events is extremely well done. I couldn't put it down because as the reader, you feel more omnicient than the characters and can't wait to see the final outcome.

A rough mix, but c'mon, it's the Beatminerz!

Listen, I don't wanna hear about how the production on 'Alter the Chemistry' is murky, poorly mixed and all that. A remix album that is basically a de facto Black Moon record? Gimme more of that.One thing I don't really like is that they retitled all of the songs, but oh well. Not a problem, especially with beats like 'He's Back,' the soul-infused 'The Ghetto,' and the deeeep bass hit of 'Chicks Out the Pen."If you don't like it, send me your copy. I'm gonna wear mine out pretty soon.
