laptop backpack
I purchased this backpack for my son. He travels alot and said the craftsmanship in this product is super. He can easily fit his laptop and all of the extras he carries. After searching for a case and finding others that were all too small, this one fits his needs. Shipped quickly.

What FUN!
I completely enjoyed this book. I discovered Maddy Hunter by accident and am so glad I did. I love the characters in her books and find their antics delightful. I am eagerly waiting for the next installment in this series. Ms. Hunter is becoming one of my favorites.

Hilarious TV show!
I love this TV show. I bought this for my boyfriend for xmas. We watched all the episodes in about 2 hours. Sucks that when the episodes are on TV, they are only half hour episodes so when you watch them without the commercials, its even shorter. Wish they were longer. But this season is so hilarious, cant wait for the next one to come out.

can't pop up toast before it's done
Beware! Once you've selected the "shade" of how you want the toast, and depress the lever, the only way you can get it to stop earlier is to unplug it!! I hate that aspect. I keep my bread in the freezer, so it takes longer to toast. The first time I used it, I set it for too dark. The toast started burning. I tried pushing up on the lever like you would to most toasters, but nada! I had to unplug it to make it stop. Very poor design. Other than that, I like it. It's not only wide enough for bagels, but long enough for Branola or Orowheat bread, which not alltoasters are. I plug this into a surge surpressor now, so if it needs to come out early, I trip the surpressor, and the toast pops up.

Want to See again!
I saw this movie on NBC in 1996 if I am correct it was very true to what actually happened to TITANIC after researching it a few years later after seeing James Cameron's TITANIC. Both movies would be a good collection to have especially if your interested in TITANIC. I also Completly agree with the person that wrote the review about the DVD being so high yeah 99 dollars now come on and its gone sold out thats rediculous I hope NBC will release it on DVD in the stores

Beautifully Illustrated Cookbook
Every cookbook I own must have pictures of the recipes to entice me into trying something new. I receieved a new tart pan for Christmas and this accompanying cookbook was the perfect way to get me baking. The recipes are beautifully illustrated with easy to follow and delicious recipes. I'll use this book over and over again.

A great film from a great generation.
I pretty much grew up in the late 90s and 00s but all the horror/thiller films/shows I watch thoughout my growing years were lame. I find that the old horror films have so much more 'substance' and much more 'eerie' feel than all these new horror films that get too deep with the plot and just mess up the whole movie. This one is no exception. It's not too scary as much as just a classic horror story.

North & South
I bought this DVD after reading the reviews from other buyers. I own several other movies and thought to add it to my collection. I have to say I struggled to watch this movie and was greatly disappointed. It is very dark and depressing. I could watch the news on TV if I wanted to be depressed. Even the clothes of the characters is dark. Plus I had a difficult time understanding some of the characters speech and what was going on. This movie is was not what I expected at all

Geez, I haven't heard most of this stuff in 20 years...
Delightful compilation of music that you may not recognize by title- but when you hear it, it'll make you say "oh yeah, I remember that one"...Most seem to be of late '60s early '70s vintage (latest one is First Class' "Beach Baby" from 1974), are the original version played on the radio, and in all but one case are stereo recordings of excellent quality (the one mono cut is great, too!)Highly recommended! Don't miss it!

Good advice on writing -- bad advice on life
I am at a loss to explain the glowing reviews of this book. Although Bird by Bird contains good advice on writing, I found the author extremely unlikable. Self-absorbed, egotistical, neurotic -- I guess if you take her as an example of how not to live your life, the idea works. I personally don't see how anyone could view her as a role model (cocaine and God? well, that's Northern California for you...).A more helpful book would have at least included some advice for us poor souls who are otherwise employable (and have jobs) but still want to write. She seems to assume that everyone reading her book has the entire day free to write (or whine, or do "retail therapy").Finally, as a personal note to the author -- Ms. Lamott, it's called "shopping", not retail therapy. Get over yourself. And for your son's sake, stop doing drugs.

MISSING!
One star? Not even that! I would love to review the product, however, I have yet to receive my order that was scheduled to arrive in November. When I inquired about delivery, I was dismayed to learn that Amazon refuses any responsibility for orders, however, they would send my complaint forward to the vendor. I received notice and an apology from the vendor, Andrew Shadgett, that my order was shipped and that I would have it "very soon." That was December 13, 2008. In my estimation, "very soon" happened some time ago. Have I been ripped off? I feel like it. Will I use Amazon again? I don't know. (I am so disappointed in their service right now. To make matters even more frustrating, I wanted to market my books through Amazon. Now I'm not so sure.) I already searched other marketers, and the product I still wait for was available through them. To make the burn worse, I could have saved a couple of dollars to boot!

BURN AFTER WACTHING!!
burn after waching is more like it. or maybe burn before watching, would be even better. there was lots of hype about this movie, most of it because of the all-star cast in the film. but a great cast or not this movie falls flat, makes the men who star at goats look like an instant classic!!

Angel of Light
If you're unsaved then it is your best life now but if you're saved then it is your worst life now so don't be fooled by a false teacher selling spiritual paganism. 2 Corinthians 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Exactly what I expected
Despite what another reviewer said, these are EXACTLY the same as the "German" horns. Hella has moved production of these horns to India, which causes confusion between these and what are known as the "Indian" horns. Now both are made in India. These are the louder 118dB 300/500 Hz horns (known as the "German" horns) while the others are the quieter 300/350 Hz horns (known as the "Indian" horns).Company shipped quickly and had the lowest price by $10. I am very satisfied.

Sometimes it works
When it works, it's great. However, be prepared that sometimes you will have to fiddle around for quite awhile to find a setting on your radio tuner that is neither a radio station nor has too much static. Plus, even if you find a tuner setting that works, it may not continue to work. There seems to be variation based on time of day and also with how much concrete you are driving between (as in on the highway or through construction). So, it's nice when it works, but I find myself not wanting to bother with it. I think I'm going to look for another option.

Must All Good Things Be Ruined?
I loved the first Night of the Demons,I expected cheese and what I got was a scary and memorable movie.This movie ruined everything the first one was.This is basically something I hate,Freddy Krugerish horror/comedy.Angela was truly a terrifying and eerie horror villain.So much more frightening than all the cliche,big money,overly comical,80's horror franchise villains like Freddy.But in Night of the Demons 2 she did not maintain her aura of evil and gloom she started having one liners and jokes and all the things that ruin good horror villains.Then you have the plot!Oh no what a joke.Okay you get a nun in love with firearms and a school dance and the throwing of holy water balloons.I could go on and on.Basically if you take horror seriously you will hate this movie like me but if you are not looking for any real or dark horror and want a little bit of fun on the weekend you may like this.

I wish they had a half star
This was a total waste of talent, George Lucas should slap himself silly. I don't know what he was thinking when he made this movie but it stunk. Let me help anyone who hasn't seen this yet, have you seen the original three Star Wars? If you answered yes then you've seen Phantom Menace, it's like all Lucas did was take the three established movies squish them together and toss in some big Hollywood stars. And who ever came up with Jar Jar should be ashamed of themselves. The only thing that makes this movie worse is the pimple faced idiots thinking it's the greatest movie ever.

There are a lot of good guitar and orchestra cd's out there. This isn't one of them. The music may have been meant to have been contemplative, but it's just boring and unimaginative. The opening arpeggios to the title track alone give you an idea of what's to come. I imagine from a pop point of view this might do well for the masses, but with composers like Leo Brouwer and guitarists like John Williams premiering new works that advance the music all the time, it's hard to see why anyone would even release something as banal as this, other than the obvious monetary reasons. Guitar fans should stay clear of this one...

Ouro Negro + Moacir Santos = Colors of Brazil
Ouro Negro is a recent release by one of my long time favorites, Moacir Santos. I owe him a great debt of gratitude for bringing such joy into my life. This is a beautful CD by one of the long-acknowledged maestros of Brazil. It has incredibly intricate, yet accessible rhythms, lush harmonies, soaring solos from some of the great musicians of his country, and the essence of Moacir's joyous spirit! Favorite tunes?? Hard to pick and choose, but "Mother Iracema," "Suk-Cha," and "Carnaval" are hard to beat.If you are in love with the music of Brazil, you owe it to yourself to own this one. I wish I could give it 6 stars!I smiled from ear to ear from the moment I put it on until the last song ended.

Not really what you expect
I bought this item at [...] and it is good to juice oranges and carrots or any kind of hard vegetable or fruit, but when it comes to green leafy vegetables does not work at all, you will end up with all the leafs in the pulp container and 0 juice as a result, wasted money. This product is advertise as a dishwasher safe, but when I putted in the dishwasher the chute shrank and then every time I push down some fruit or veggie it doesn't come up easily, so end up really being a nightmare, I called Jack La Lane and they said I have to buy a new chute even do I have been only a few weeks with this product. Please buy a slow masticating juicer, much better juice quality, easy to clean, not any dangerous blades or parts, not noise at all, great quality.

Great if you like the your rice undercooked in 90 minutes
I bought this as a gift for my live-in boyfriend since he's been wanting a good rice cooker for a while. Even though my old electric rice cooker always had a bit of rice stick to the bottom of it, it was faster and came out better. The measuring markers on the inner pan are completely useless and must have been designed by either a complete genius (who cannot explain things simply) or a complete moron (who can't explain things at all). Ditto for the instruction manual. The brown rice setting takes at least 90 minutes, which is far longer than the 20 minutes of my pressure cooker. Even at 90 minutes, the rice is very chewy and tastes like it needed to cook for another half hour. Even the white rice I've cooked in it comes out tasting woody, and I've tried different grains from basmati to jasmine.

What is D P L selling here?
I wish I had heeded the other reviews before wasting my time ordering this part from D P L. The item that arrived was not a Delta RP70 and had distinctly different geometry (I added a picture to the item gallery that shows my old RP70 next to the thing that they shipped me). I contacted Delta to double-check if there are multiple versions of RP70 in existence, but they assured me that there is only one genuine RP70.To make matters worse D P L refused to acknowledge any error on their part, kept the item I mailed back to them and refused a refund (I had to file a claim and an appeal through Amazon to get a refund for the just part).I can't believe D P L has been able to get away with such blatant false advertising here on Amazon, I will certainly be steering clear of that seller in the future.

Disappointed with Hot Pursuit 2
I was really disappointed with this game. The cops aren't a threat at all even on the highest difficulty setting, the "damage" your car takes is purely cosmetic and has no bearing on the performance of your car, and the physics are terrible. You hit an oncoming car head on and you jump over it. Yeah right.

Music for posers... stick with Metalcore and Dubstep for talent.
Sup fellow metalheads??? I love heavy metal and electronic music but this black metal garbage takes suckiness to a new extreme. First of all, if someone wants to hear heavy metal they should check out good stuff like Metalcore and Deathcore because they know how to write good lyrics like "my girlfriend left me" and "i love jesus"....second, keyboards go great with metal...Korn's new album with Skrillex proves it! This album has keyboards... yet they don't have any dubstep bass drops!? Where the heck do you expect to get a fanbase without having BASS DROPS!!!? Lastly, the music is in no way scary or shocking.... and lacks originality.This is not heavy at all nor is it original. Stick with crunkcore, emo, pop punk, deathcore, metalcore, and dubstep if you want to listen to real good music :)

Bring out the GLUT. The GLUT's sleepin.....
Then I guess you better wake him up! That's right, I hope you like using the GLUT (Graphics Library Utility Toolkit) because that's all Angel uses here. Sure, the GLUT is great if you just want to display a spinning triangle or create the most basic program, but if you want to create an OpenGL project with some bite then you should pick up another book which will teach you Qt or Windows programming. If you're a n00b, opengl will render all of your shapes and colors, but it can't create its own window to run in. The GLUT is one way to create an "opengl window," but the GLUT is by all means the most basic and useless of the possible methods. Yes, I realize this is a "primer," but for 30+ dollars, you can do better. Much, much better. Besides nothing in this book isn't something you couldn't find in a pdf file on opengl.org.

Responsible persons should be shipped to Azkaban IMMEDIATELY
I'd be here for hours if I were to try to explain how I felt about this movie. I felt betrayed and utterly disappointed. This should have been the biggest and best film yet. Having read the book over the summer with my children, we were very excited to see what we thought was going to be one hell of a movie. I was so disappointed and shocked that this was IT, that I nearly cried while the credits rolled. Wish they could use Hermoine's necklace to go back and fix this wrong!!

Too old to be good
It's written in 1990s. Although Ms. Graham's works in the period have known to be wonderful, this book looks old fashioned to me and short of my expectation. I do not recommed this book to a new reader. However, if you are a fan of Ms. Graham and looking for a reminder of her works which contain a macho-style hero and a weeping heroine, it is not a bad choice.

Metal-Machine Music
A quartet of projects spun from King Crimson, the music explores the vast avenues of ideas and virtuosi of Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto.Bruford is a rhythmic wonder on ProjeKct One - Live at the Jazz Cafe, while Belew adds a twist or two on V-drums, and the ego of an arena-rock headliner, throughout ProjeKct Two - Live Groove.But it's ProjeKct Three - Masque and ProjeKct Four - West Coast Live that delivers the most explosiveness. Fripp stretches out sonically through wickedly harsh, metallic-like performances, which covers the artistic canvas with power and urgency.Each CD is a gem and travels a vast landscape of creativity, sound and vision.

Great book. Who says we have to travel to far away places for adventure? Tim Palmer had what for most of us would be a lifetime of adventures on this 9 month journey. At the same time the people he introduces us to and the observations he shares about all that he sees will make any reader think harder about our place on and responsibilities to this world.

pls no more shadings
this book is an injustice to the reader,because it is simply not telling the truth. for example the author states that the clinton adminstation was heavily montoring al queda and was doing everything it could to stop Bin Laden. then the author should tell us that pres. clinton met only twice with his original cia director. we now have more information coming out. i am afraid this book like others in the adminstration will be shown to spend so little time in foreign affairs. i do believe that the author is an outstanding person of character but please stop covering up for a president interested in domestic affairs. he will be remembered for not stopping bin laden when he could have.

A chilling addition to the horror genre.
Finally, the horror genre has come to the 90s. Taking the most disturbing traits of the gothic/body modification subgenre, Strangeland is truly chilling and intense. While some of the editing is choppy and the graphic cuts are obvious, it is still a worthy addition to a horror lover's must-see lists.

A good way to get you started on the right track
This book gives you the basics on how to develop solid data models. The only problem I can see with this book, is that you need to have some clue of what you are doing before reading this book. If you want something that will take you step-by-step read "Database Design For Mere Mortals" by Robert Hernandez. This book takes nothing for granted and goes through the whole database design process, from the first interview with the user(s), to the actual design of the database. Overall, I thought this book as good, especially to be only 100+ pages or so. However, buy the other book if you need more indepth knowledge.

This author, William Hess, does always the same thing (see "ZEMKE'S WOLFPACK", the history of 56th Fighter Group): he takes the combat reports written by the pilots and publish them, with no particular insight, no human side to the history, no strategic comments. The result is an endless and boring reading of air combats after air combats. Argh!

Not quite that good
In and Out is the type of film that has a hilarious premise but fails in its execution. This film could easily have had more hilarious situations had the director delved into the material more. There were some very funny scenes in the movie, but they were too little and too short. The main saving grace was the acting. It was absolutely superb, and Kevin Kline should have received an oscar nomination.

Great Movie
This Al Pacino doing what he does making us believe he is the person he is playing very true to the book, and if you haven't read the book your missing a great ride the end shows you that there is a new killer in town but you have to pay attention. A suspense filled edge of your seat movie. Just when you think you know whats going on you realize your wrong. And it shows what was really going on in the 70's in New York. As a Gay man from that time let me tell you it only scratches the surface of what was really going on in New York at the time. I highly recomend you read the book after you watch the movie.(Like most books it lets you into the mind of the people involed.) It's a good story about a serial killer, who happens to be gay.

I've always used the red kong toys for my dogs but recently, even though they're supposed to be practically indestructible one of my dogs who's a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix was able to actually tear small pieces from the red kong toy when he was chewing on it. So I decided to get them the black kong toy and see if that'd be stronger. I've only had it for about a month or a little less but so far no pieces have come off of it so we'll see how it goes the longer they have it.

Some good content
This book has some good content, but in its attempt to present methods for people to use, it ignores the fact that the Bible has shown models and methods that make a ton more sense then reiterating over and over terminology that has been created for the point the authors are making. Read the book, but look at what the Bible says. Hopefully you have studied the Bible first.

A Real Look at the Real People
I've lived among the mountain folk of East Tennessee for almost ten years, and while here I've read many histories and watched films and documentaries made on the area. The one I recommend most is The History Channel's Hillbilly: The Real Story, produced by Moore Huntley Productions and hosted by Billy Ray Cyrus. It gives a complete picture of mountain people, where they came from, how their culture developed, why they believe and live as they do and who they have become over the centuries.Billy Ray journeys into the hollers and runs of Appalachia to discover the proud legacy of the region's mountain folk. Watch it and you will learn how hillbillies, long misunderstood as isolated and backward, actually have a 300-year history of achievement that has contributed significantly to our national identity.

The "Real" Hard Day's Night
Having been born in 1962, I wasn't able to witness the hysteria that surrounded the Beatles' 1st trip to America; until now. This video puts you right in the middle of everything they experienced (well, almost) on their February, 1964 trip. Their arrival, and press conference, at Idlewild Airport, taxi rides, photo shoots, after hours parties and all 3 Ed Sullivan Show appearances in their entirety. Also included are 3 songs from the Washington Coliseum concert. After watching this video, it's easy to understand why Americans were captivated by these guys. It's also very apparent why the Beatles could only tolerate this "mania" for 2 more years. I wish I could have experienced it firsthand.

Help! This movie is a mess!
The only good thing about this movie are the Beatles themselves. The plot(and I'm being generous when I call it that ) is very weak and not funny. If everything else could be edited out except when the Beatles are either performing or on screen by themselves then we would have something watchable. It is way too scripted. The Beatles are at their best just being themselves as in a "Hard Days Night"

Good Questions- bad CD's
Kaplan provides a good series of hard questions. Therefore, if you don't mind working from the book, you won't be disappointed. However, a "glitch" is that most Kaplan CD's do not work on Windows 2000 or NT systems!! You can call the Kaplan Technical Support line and they will tell you that many many users have this complaint, they will add your complaint to the list, and then advise that you find an older computer or sign up for a Kaplan course if you would like on-line or CD access. (They will apologize too if that makes you feel better.) Therefore, yes good questions if you can get to them!!

cute and functional
This is a great little thermos; cute and seems to be well made. Keeps the drink cold all day if you put some ice in it, or refrigerate it ahead of time.

Available much cheaper reissued under another title
If this album sounds enticing to you, but the prices are intimidating (currently over $50 new, $30 used), please note: this exact same recording was reissued a couple of years later by the same company under the new title, "An Introduction to Robert Pete Williams." That CD is currently available from Amazon for less than $15. An incredible bargain for a terrific blues album.

What a dissapointment!
After appearing on many Puff Daddy produced remixes and songs Kelly Price finally got her time to shine. On songs like Mase's "Feel So Good" she sounded like another Bad Boy related artist (Faith). Also like Faith she had written many songs for other artists as well as most of her own debut. The big difference is Kelly Price's album is a big dissapointment. The only songs that make any impression are the ones where a big name male star assist Kelly. The remix of "Friend of Mine" w/ R. Kelly and Mr. Big(Ronald Isley), and "Secret Love" which was co-written and produced by 112's Daron Jones. The rest of this album doesn't do much to impress. Maybe she's one of those artists who does her best work only on collaborations. Don't waste your time with this album. Look for some remixes featuring her if you like her voice.

Great Album
Very atmospheric and heavy with great dialing vocal tones. Highly recommend Jack Vegas, 2.12Overall album is pretty consistent and well-written, with enough diversity for any fans of Melodeth ranging to Industrial and beyond...

Wake up -- this was good!
Okay- I've read some of the other reviews, and don't agree with some. This WAS a good book! I was simply glad to see some of the familiar faces-- especially when the pages were fighting outside of Numair's quarters! No, Kel isn't Alanna or Daine, but her softness makes her real. Alanna had to have a different kind of spunk due to her secret. P.S. I'm sure the princesses and Alanna's kids would/will become pages -- when they are old enough! They are still too young, since only a year has passed since the war with the Immortals!

The worst customer service
Apparently, they purposely donft give you the CD key when you buy the software so that you will have to use up your only free incident in order to get it.And, of course, you have to call long distance and wait in a queue for something that should have come in the box.And donft bother to ask for this to not count as your only free incident. Apparently, they are prepared for that request.

The story is plain with very little excitement
After reading Siena Summer by Teresa Crane, I personally would not want read it the second time.The story started with some flair of brilliance and uniqueness. Nonetheless, it did not convey enough plot to grab readers' attention especially during the middle section of the story. It was mostly plain storytelling with very little climax and excitement and the ending was largely expectable.It was a reasonably good love story, but it could have used more and better metaphors to describe certain situations, which, I personally think, are an important part of a love story.The story, though lethargic in some sense, had described an extract of the Italian culture vividly and it was an enjoyable experience to read about another culture with a plot.If you are seeking a brilliant love story, this is not the one to purchase. However, if you are seeking experience of another culture, you have a good book right here.== James ==

I purchased this book as a shower gift because my daughter and her daughter like it so much. It has lovely sentiment in the way it portrays a parent and child bonding.

Ok, not great
This is a very factual account of Eric Liddell's life, but there are better accounts out there. A bit dry to follow.

Wait...was that me typing?
This is my afavorite keyboard in a long time. It's keys have a nice feel and they are quiet! I never knew how loud my old keyboard was. The extra features are good to. They work great. the only thing that could be better (and this is really small) is the Caps lock light could be more bright/or large. It's tough to see out of the corner of your eye, if you have Caps Lock on or not. Overall, though - a kick-butt board.

Watch out for return policy!
When I received this product I was disappointed that it was the smaller model, which, by the way, sells for as low as $45 on other sites. I did get free shipping when I ordered this item, however, when I tried to return it, their policy is to deduct the original shipping charge plus a 15% restocking fee from your refund. Therefore, my refund would only be $38, plus I had to pay to ship the item back! I decided to give the cart to a family member and buy the larger model when we got to the beach. Will never order from this vendor again.

Great Gift
I hesitated a lot before buying this set for my girlfriend who is a die hard Flamenco fan because she listens to contemporary new age Flamenco whereas this product is more like the original rootsy Flamenco, little did I know that she was going to literally fall in love with it.

Watch the miniseries instead
Unlike "Pride and Prejudice," Evelyn Waugh's novel did not shorten well into film. Instead, "Brideshead Revisited" is too heavy-handed and overt, losing the lovely shades of meaning that the series possessed. The scenery is lovely and the cast attractive, but if you want the full effect of the novel as this reader thinks the author intended, try the mini-series in the link below instead.Brideshead Revisited (25th Anniversary Collector's Edition)Rebecca Kyle, May 2009
