| Though not ultimate, still very good | A very good sampler of classical sacred Christmas music, sung or performed by some of today's finest musicians and singers. Perhaps a bit too generous with selections from Handel's Messiah but all very well arranged and performed. If you liked the Ultimate Hymn CD you should like this Christmas companion. | [

| My daughter really dislikes this book | My daughter is 18 months old and she hates this book. I know "hate" is a strong word, but she literally closes the book and throws it on the floor every time I open it. We usually read when I sit her down on a potty and my daughter loves this routine. Since I've bought the Going to Sleep book, which was maybe a month ago, she has never allowed me to finish reading it to her.She loves to read. Some of our favorite books are Goodnight, Gorilla, Little Blue Truck, I am a Bunny... I think the reason why she dislikes the Going to Bed book is because it is drawn so unrealistically and with too many lines and details. It is irritating to the eyes. To top that, it is about going to bed which is not a favorite activity on a any toddler's list. Sorry, but this book was just not for us. | [

| American Holistic Association Guide & The Winkle Cure | These books were required reading in my Holistic practice. I found both these books very informative. I put to practice some information found in the Wrinkle Cure book and have been getting comments that I now look 40 when in actuallity I am 62. I have been able to pass this information onto some of my patients and they are trying it on themselves. The American Holistic Association Guide reinforced some of the teachings that I had just finished in getting my degree in the Holistic Method of healing. Both books were very interesting. | [

| Most Amazing Product EVER! | This is the most amazing product ever! I purchased this for my son because he had just begun potty training and would not go in public restrooms. Now he loves using this product and will even ask us to go to the bathroom when we are out.I did a lot of research before choosing to buy this item and I am thrilled with the choice that I made. It has not pinched my son as I read others do and also I have not had any problems with it fitting public toilets. The only thing that I would recommend is if you are using it on a larger toilet just put your child down gently and hold him/her in place for a moment to make sure it is secure. I have not had any problems with it fitting or not being secure at all and my son is 35lbs.I think this is a must for any parent! | [

| Very good but from the British point of view | The quality of the paper, the margins, the font: all are quite good. Good pronunciation indications. Also reflects current usage (e.g., computer technology). Also very good coverage in terms of number of terms defined.The one problem I see is the fact that the dictionary is written from a British point of view, especially where colloquialisms are concerned. E.g., what does "you can get knotted" mean? Did you know that "fug" in English (British English, that is) means "stale air", and pog means "stench"? The problem is much worse when only the British expression is given, without an indication that it is colloquial or British, where the standard meaning is different. E.g, verkloppen is defined with "to flog". Turns out in British English to flog means not to whip but to sell!PS: The book is still a bit better than Collins Concise German Dictionary, thanks to Klett's larger font and page size. | [

| blah | I found this book, Rosalind Franklin & DNA, to be one of the most boring books I've ever read. It is about a female scientist who did not recieve the credit she deserved. The author goes on and on about how Rosalind was put down. This book is more of sticking up for Rosalind than it was about her discovery. What there was about the discovery, did not even make sense to me. It's all in scientific language. I thought that the whole book was just jibberish. | [

| Tired, half-dead performances | Wow. Unbelievably bad. Eddy Arnold had one of the richest, most naturally gorgeous voices that God every put into any singer's throat. He was truly one of the greats! He should have quit while he was ahead. I'm not kidding, folks. This is a lame recording put out just for a quick buck. Each song is a deliberate snoozer, with no style, passion, or direction. Eddy probably put more effort into mowing his lawn or laying grout in his bathroom than he ever put into any one of these songs. I can't tell you how bad this album is. Strictly for geezers cranking up their hearing aids. Question: Did they record this album before or after they closed the lid on Eddy's casket? Okay. Enough with the hyperbole. It's hard not to enjoy Eddy's voice at any stage in his career. But in all honesty, this isn't a valuable addition to any fan's collection. | [

| Nicholas Sparks Writes His Best One Yet! | This novel was very unique in that it combined romance, abuse, and mystery all into one story. Sparks did a great job with his writing and it is a very worthwhile book to read.Julie Berenson is a young widow at 25 years of age, and her husband left her with two unexpected gifts. He left her with a puppy named Singer and the promise that he would always be watching over her. Now, four years later, twenty-nine-year-old Julie is far too young to never have love again. She may be ready to risk caring for someone again. But who?Should it be Richard Franklin, the sophisticated, handsome engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth really loving guy who was her husband's best friend? Choosing one of them should bring Julie happiness. But instead,Julie is fighting for her life because of a jealous nature which ignites a murderous desire. | [

| More like girls of bore on | So as a convicted rapist and former employee of Enron I figured this to be the cat's meow when it came to electrical prison tape nude bondage video excitement from Japan. Boy was I wrong. This isn't even made in Japan. And none of the Japanese girls even look Asian. If anything they look white which is not the Enron I remember. Maybe in the upstairs the women were like this, but down in the boiler room and in the closet by the emergency exit, the one with the pine sol smell and foreign snack depository, the girls were always Japanese. I'd ask for my money back if this video weren't a hand me down. | [

| All the specs but can't get good sound. | I bought it cause a 2.4 GHz phone with Spread spectrum should have just about perfect clarity and good range. Plus it was ~$$$ on sale. Here is a perfect example of how the company couldn't produce a quality product. We had the phone 1 day. I can't get more than 2 rooms away without getting "skips" in the sound. Gee.... my 900 MHz spread spectrum beats it hands down. So this one> is a [inexpensive] 2.4 ghz phone!It works good for about 40 feet. Liked the answering machine.Go buy something else! | [

| Oh, There Is That Trailer Song! | What led me to buy this CD is the song "Red Tape" by Agent Provocateur. I was originally looking for the Trailer song to the movie "Underworld", because I thought the song and trailer went really cool together. The next thing I know, "Underworld" does not have it under their soundtrack and I was given the hint that the movie "Jackal" had it. Why, I don't know, maybe some financal reasons with the production company. So, for those who were looking for the "Underworld" trailer song, it is here on the "Music from and Inspired by The Jackal" CD. The songs are pretty cool if you are into that rave music. | [

| Double Your Pleasure | WOW,While I had high hopes for this CD I didn't expect to love it as much as I do.I'm not usually a big fan of double albums as its usually a lot of music to process but in the case of "Back To Basics" it is well worth it.Christina has never sounded better and the music is "today" with an old school flavor.Disk one starts out rockin with "Makes me wanna Pray" "Back in the day","oh Mother",Slow down baby""Still Dirrty" are all highlights.There are lots of possible singles here,my faves are "Ain't no other man","CandyMan""Here to Stay" "Slow down baby" and the "Right Man".The Linda Perry ballads on disk two are very good,"Have Mercy on Me" has a Fiona Apple vibe, "Hurt"will probably be a huge hit a la "Beautiful",'The Right Man " is very moving."I Got Trouble" and "Nasty Naughty Boy"are fun throwbacks to the 30s and 40s.This album is a fully realized vision from CXhristina Aguilera,we'll see her at Grammy time. | [

| Lots To Like In Two Hours Of MGM Highlights | This got big notice when it came out in the mid '70s. With the advent of VHS, you could provide the public with something like this: a collection of great song-and-dance scenes from classic films.In this edition (there were two more to come), we see highlights of MGM musicals from the 1920s through the 1960s. Most of them were the '30s through the '50s....and it's on a DVD!MGM had many of the musical stars but not all, so you don't get Shirley Temple, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Julie Andrews and others. However, you do get a ton of great performers like Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Mickey Rooney, Esther Williams and others. To use a cliché, this is a must-have for music fans. In addition to the above stars, who are remembered in some of their best scenes, you have the incredible sets of the Busby Berkeley movies.At over two hours, there is a lot of great material in here. | [

| a major disappointment | I suppose I have the disadvantage of having seen too many movies in a moderately long life, which means I could predict every cliched moment of this effort way in advance. Is there any hackneyed plot device that was left out of this overly long and exhausting melodrama? I have always considered Nicole Kidman a competent actress but in this she constantly overacts in a strained attempt to mimic some kind of emotional range. The soundtrack is awful except for the bit of Elgar they steal for the last scene. | [

| Sweet Jesus Bill O'Reilly, I Hated this Book | Unfunny other than the title, myopic,meandering and unfocused, visceral hate attempting to pass as humor. My own personal opinion after reading this book, and then watching Bill O'Reilly's program? Sweet Jesus, he is fair and balanced - no wonder the extreme wing of my Democratic party doesn't like him. He offers both sides of the story, and sometimes a third! What this book did was lead me to the realization and conclusion that the "lame stream" media is unfair, and unbalanced. I tried to give my used copy of this book to my local library and they refused the donation - "We don't condone hate". | [

| Detrimental to Milk Supply | The hospital lactation consultants really pushed this item. Know that this is detrimental to your milk supply. The baby cannot successfully compress the sinuses around the nipple if he latches on to this shield as he will suck more like he would a bottle. It took me 5 very long and frustrating weeks to wean my baby from this thing. That was time I could have spent enjoying my baby rather than fighting with him. Giving him whole, natural breast milk is extremely important to me or I would have given up and just went to formula. A friend of mine gave up on breast feeding all together when faced with the same problem. The same consultants at the same hospital pushed it on her as well.If you have flat or inverted nipple know that you do not need an aid. Your baby knows no other nipple and will figure it out. Once the La Leche League leader in my area told me this, it gave me the strength to go for weaning my baby from it. | [

| Satch cannot be beat | Read an earlier review that mentions how Satch paints with his guitar. It's not just simple music; his work at this stage was a portfolio of his artwork. He doesn't need lyrics to tell his stories, his music speaks for him. My favorites of his always incorporate his blinding speed on the guitar; but most of all he has no limits to his creativity as an artist. He paints a different picture every time, from totally kick-ass to totally haunting to gently romantic, with everything in between. | [

| Kit Lit | I loved the book. The last chapter almost pulled the same manipulative ending as Breath, Eyes, Memory and Friendship Cake but thankfully didn't. Given the photograph on the back of the book, I have to wonder if the author was writing in part about himself. It was nice to see the Bachelor evolve as a character as the kitten brought out the best in him. Anyone who liked this book would also like Clevland Amory's books and James Herriot's Cat Stories. With so many of these sentimental books about men and their cats, do they count as a genre-"kit lit" perhaps? | [

| Babble Ball | My dog thinks this is the best thing in the entire world...depends on the dog...my friend's dog was not amused.

I highly recommend it for the energetic, curious, easily bored dog!! I find the sound hilarious, not annoying, so if you are easily put off by your dog having lots of fun in a rather noisy environment, then this is not at all the toy for your pup. I find it a joy to watch! | [

| Too confusing! | This is the second Kathy Smith exercise tape I had ever bought. The first was Kathy Smith's Latin Rhythm Workout. I found the steps too complicated which made it unenjoyable so I never used it again after a few tries. But I thought it was just me not picking up on the dance steps. So I gave this dvd a try. Well!! I'm not a total spaz and it takes me time to pick up on certain more complicated moves, but I've been working out with exercise tapes for years so I am familiar with a lot of the steps and timing. But I got confused during the warm-up! Then I knew I was in trouble. I found the cardio portion way too complicated and hard to follow along. When your time is precious and you are trying to squeeze in a workout, it's a waste of time if you are stumbling around confused the entire time. I like Denise Austin's exercise tapes much better. | [

| Very entertaining British series | This is one of the best comeday/drama series to come out of Britain. I have seen several episodes on PBS but there is nothing like having the DVDs to watch at your leisure. Great actors, great writing and excellent stories make for an entertaining hour of TV. The show has a serious side but the focus is on the very subtle comedy this four people convey on screen. There is a very good chemistry among the characters and they are all unique. The ladies man, the neurotic, the wise old "leader" and the excellent Detective Superintendetn Pullman. If you are a fan of British comedies or light police procedurals then you will love this series. I just wish the DVDs were released more quickly to the USA. Great show. | [

| Could have been great, but falls flat. | I really hate to give this book such a low rating, because it could have been so good. I agree with others, however, who described it as "super boring" and complain about endless pages describing latitude and longitude positions (like we care!) or the thousands of words devoted entirely to recording the subtle changes in wind direction, air temperature, movement of the ice floe, etc... I would much rather have known what these sailors were thinking and feeling. We get almost none of that. No character development. I couldn't tell one sailor from another, except that their names were different. The basic account of the voyage is interesting, but too bad only one word in fifty was necessary to tell the tale. This is the kind of book that can cure insommnia. May be valuable to historians, but not to anyone just looking for an engaging story. If you want to read a really great account of adventure at sea, try Hyderdahl's Kon-Tiki! | [

| A MUST FOR EVERY FAMILY | Very nice DVD and bonus disc. Interesting stuff on 2nd disc, especially the outtakes, but I doubt I'll watch the making-of stuff again anytime soon. Unfortuantely you have to buy this 2 disc set to get an anamorphic transfer of the movie, but the making of shows how the full screen version of the film was specially created so that you don't miss out on anything in the sides. Still, I like the widescreen format. Very sharp picture and crisp sound. A must for any family library, and a great digital animated flick. | [

| Life changing remote | A friend of mine recommended this remote as something I absolutely HAD to buy to go with my new flat-screen. Found a great deal on here so I snatched it up, and I'm not looking back. The ease of use is incredible, and the fact that it literally recognizes every component has removed a lot of clutter from the coffee table. The "help" button makes problem solving simple, and I don't have to worry about fiddling with input buttons anymore. It's nice to not have the worry of replacing batteries as well. The screen could use a resolution upgrade, but overall I love this little guy. | [

This product could be a poster child for products made in China intended to make American children cry. It is a quick breaker and a design joke. In three days three separate parts broke off. I ought to get my money back. | [

| Very well done | This book has a solid story line and is written with elegance and technique reminiscent of the best Star Trek episodes. It's one of the better Trek novels that I've read, and a lot of its strengths lie in the fact that all the characters are true to how they are on the TV series.A great opener to an intriguing trilogy, Book 1: "Cohesion," leaves you with that satisfied feeling of finishing a great novel but also a yearning to know what happens in the next installment. | [

| Ahh, to be young and impulsive..... | This is a fun film. Doug Liman has followed Swingers w/ another fun-filled movie. This time it is about how teens can get themselves into big trouble, but somehow find a way to get out of the mess. The film reminds me of 2 Days in the Valley (just off-center and slightly wacky) and Pulp Fiction (a story form multiple characters' view points). The young cast acts well. The DVD looks and sounds great. And the bonus features are pretty decent. | [

| Poor for big LANs | I was forced to get three of these. Each one was used on a hotel with people coming and going. All had firmware upgraded. During dead seasons, the product would work fine. This is when 5-10 people per day were using it. When 50 or more people were using it, EVERYONE ONE OF THEM WOULD FAIL, AND REQUIRE REBOOTING, often multiple times per day. Linksys support TOLD me that if more than 10 people were on it at a time, it would fail miserably. They all did. If you don't mind rebooting in a crowded enviroment, or only have 5-10 people who need this at a time, and simply need a redundant form of internet access, this will work fine. If your requirements are bigger, choose peplink. | [

For event and wedding jobs the wheels make moving easy and fast. Strap a LowePro large lens case to the side and a 70-200 F2.8 fits well.Just a great bag...but what else would you expect from Lowe Pro. | [

| This book is thorough but poorly written. | It is ironic that an account of the Steely Dan phenomenon is documented by someone whose writing skills are negligable. Becker and Fagen, two contemporary literary masters by most standards, would find it strangely fitting, I suppose. Sweet's saving grace is his penchant for detail. His tome has the stories for which every avid Dan fan hungers. Recording sessions, writing sessions, band reformulations, personal melodramas, etc. These elements make it enjoyable reading, especially when accompanied by revisitations to the legendary recordings. Listening to the CD's while making one's chronological journey through this book, is distictly thrilling, as well as eye(ear)-opening. The lack of an index and of footnotes limits this volume's usefulness as a reference source however. It would be nice to see a similar effort made by a writer who posesses a similar creative energy, quirkiness and skill to that of Becker and Fagen themselves. | [

| First Timer | This is the first mystery by Peter Temple that I've read.Joe Cashin has a tough life, both personally and professionally. The murder of a local rich guy named Bourgoyne initially seems fairly straightforward and then it's not. There's generally a dark atmosphere and Temple weaves in some socioeconomic color from Australia to enhance the tale. Between personal issues requiring his attention and professional matters going wrong, Joe Cashin has plenty of demands on his time. My only criticism is that the romantic element seemed a little unrealistic.Good read. | [

He used to have a 48 car case, but this one holds twice the cars and has compartments of all sizes to hold his more unusual Hot Wheels cars and trucks. The attached launcher is a nice bonus. The only weakness I see with the case is that the extendable arm/handle for pulling the case along by its wheels is a bit flimsy and likes to twist when the case is loaded full. | [

| Amazing Grace | So often Christianity is viewed as judgmental and legalistic and the heart of Christianity is lost. Jesus was the friend of sinners and accepted and encouraged the downtrodden and those rejected by the religious elite. Manning so eloquently brings to life the meaning of Grace. He paints numerous word pictures to help illustrate what Grace really means.Reading this book was like taking a fresh breath of air. I would recommend it to anyone, especially anyone struggling with believing that God truly loves them just as they are, in spite of all their terrible sins. | [

| A selection of songs that touch your heart and soul | I became a christian in July of 1998, and 'Steady On' was the first christian cd I bought. Since then I have purchased all of their cd's. The songs move you, inspire you and renew your faith in a compelling way. My favorite songs are 'Steady On', 'My God' and most of all 'Who am I'. 'Who am I' reassures all of us, the magnicifent love He has for each of us. No matter what we do, how insignificant we feel, He is there and He loves us so much. I recommend this CD to new and old christians alike. | [

Summary: If you're still living in the sixties, and enjoy Oliver Stone, this book may be for you. If your political views lie elsewhere, be forewarned. | [

| exactly what frank was talking about | If there was one thing that FZ hated, it was critics. Frank hated them because they didn't understand what he was doing. Frank hated them for not understanding music in general. But mostly frank hated them because as the old adage says: those who can, do; those who can't, teach; and those who can't teach, criticize.While this is a wonderfully written book, it is a critics view of Zappa. It expounds on the meanings Frank might have intended in his work, yet many of its quotations can be found in "The Real Frank Zappa Book." If you want to know what Zappa was really about, get that book, not "The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play." Better to get information from the man himself, instead of through the eyes of a critic. | [

This movie is a look at the people who are miserable under the constraints of what society says we should want and want to do. I loved the book, think the movie was an adequate representation of the book, and could watch this every day. Perhaps what is depressing when watching this is the realization that this is a lot of lives, not just the unlikable characters. | [

| One of the best movies with a goose bumped ending. | Voices is one of the most captivating movies ever made. The movie tells the story of a starry-eyed singer trying to make the big time and a deaf dancer who wants to be as successful. Inevitably, they fall in love. The most powerful scene is when the dancer (Amy Irving) is auditioning for a show, not wanting the jury to know she is deaf, she dances unsuccessfully missing the beat of the music. The singer, her love interest, then decides to place the speakers face down on the floor, so she can feel the beat of the her audition music. Behold, success! At the end of the movie the singer uses sign language to sing "I Will Always Be With You" at an entertainment lounge. Amy Irving does a wonderful job. What a great film. | [

| Don't buy these | First I purchased these a few weeks ago. Nice looking heavy built jean. NOT SO! These are tapered leg which makes them fitt like skinny jeans!!! Tight at the knee, calf, and butt. These have lasted I think about 3 weeks which would equal about 3 or 4 washings. I noticed today that they are already tearing at the pocket. I am a slender guy with no butt so there should be no reason that these are tearing at the corner of the pocket from stress. They do fit a size smaller after you wash them so order a size larger in the waist! Especially since you can't return after you wash them! I would not recommend these jeans. I have 2 pair of them and I am glad I purchased the 3 other pairs in relaxed fit. They still fit a little tight around the waist after washing so I would suggest you get a size larger in those too. | [
