Makes me feel smarter!
|
I am desk jockey who does electrical design work. I have little in-the-field electrical experience. I use the NEC codes frequently to make sure what I design is code-compliant. I have a copy of the standard 1999 NEC book and found many parts of it difficult to interpret. This new "handbook" version has answered all of the questions and uncertainties I had about the code. It has an illustration and explanation for just about every question I could think of. Even when I don't need a certain thing, I have found myself leafing through the book just to learn more.I would recommend this to anyone, but especially engineer types or those who are inexperienced. I feel much more confident about my job and I don't have to ask electricans those questions that make you feel stupid anymore. Even master electricians will appreciate the explanations of code changes from the 1999 version. Overall, I can't recommend this book more, well worth the $50 or so more than the standard NEC book.

Magnificent once again
|
For those in need of some enlightment, Oceansize is one of the most talented and underrated bands in the world.I just finished listening to "Everyone Into Position", and I can barely find the words to describe how wonderful this album is.Somewhat more accessible, in my opinion, than their two jaw-dropping previous efforts, "Effloresce" and "Music For Nurses" (because probably a bit less metal), be certain that you won't find anything cheap or easy on this record, as Oceansize's creations are complex and incredibly inspiring. It is simply impossible to even consider the "skip" button, because each track is so rich and non-linear, you just need to know what happens next.Everything just sounds so damn right...Although this band can't really be compared to anything else, for those you've never heard of it, think of the best elements that dredg, Muse, Biffy Clyro, Sigur Ros and Tool combine.Each of their releases is a masterpiece, and "Everyone Into Position" is no different.

A surprising tour de force
|
This album was the one that turned me into an a-ha fanatic - I found it by accident, at a local record store, and picked it up out of sheer curiosity. I was not disappointed - in fact, I was utterly amazed. This CD features a gorgeous, stripped-down sound (in comparison to their earlier work). It begins with a cover of the Everly Brothers' "Crying In The Rain", which is the perfect showcase for Morten Harket's voice (one of the most unique and powerful instruments in pop music). The rest of the album lives up to the promise of the first song, from dark, acoustic sound of the title track, to the rock vibe of "Slender Frame" and the slightly more pop sounds of "Waiting For Her". The whole album is beautiful, and quite surprising ... the first few times I listened to it, I was captivated by the differing sounds each song displayed.I love the first few a-ha albums, but this is the one that proved exactly what they were capable of. A must-own for even the most casual of fans!

pretty good dvds
|
There are 2 dvd's that come with edition. The one contain the main movie and the one containing most of the other extras. I don't generally recommend playing the movies with the default player that comes on the system as it seems to be lacking basic features (and it only playes at full screen at 640x800). I use powerdvd, although which player will be best for you will depend on your system I guess.The only real gripe I have is that what made the original star wars movies so good is that they were actually collaberative efforts. George has taken too much control of everything and this has made some of the cheeziness that has entered some of the dialogue of the movie. The same is true of this movie. If the producer had only had some input, I think the deleted scene with Yoda would have been great (which is on the dvd btw). Otherwise, it's a great special effects movie and the dvd's are loaded with extras. Most poeple, I hope, that love star wars should not be dissapointed.

Yes...Yes...Yes!!!

Judith Christie McAllister is one of the most underrated Praise and Worship leaders around. She's phenomenal, and one of my favorites. I've anxiously awaited this new release, and was not disappointed. Now, I must admit that it took playing this CD a couple times to grow on me, whereas I loved her previous CDs immediately. Funny thing is that when I actually listened to the lyrics of the songs on this particular release, I realized that the songs on this CD seem to have a little more depth than songs appearing on her previous two releases. Don't get me wrong, I love all her work; this was just an observation.If you're looking for a foot-stompin' traditional gospel CD, you should pass on this CD. However, if you are looking for some depth in a CD with geniune Praise & Worship with songs based on the Word of God and sung to God, and if you're looking for a CD to help you bless the Lord, even when you don't feel like it, look no further -- this CD will be a blessing to you!

interesting and entertaining
|
Although I'm certain this is not entirely true, and it's probable that some of the sources are fabricating their stories, this is still an interesting look at some of the kookier experiments of the military and intelligence establishment. Some of the stories and positions presented are more plausible than others --the Frank Olson case as presented seems plausible. I doubt the existence of the First Earth Batallion...not enough good evidence was presented, same with the goat staring.Nevertheless, this book was well-presented and very entertaining. Those that debate the validity of Ronson's sources are missing the point...half the story was that of the characters that claim to have been a part of these elite units.There's certainly some truth to the sections on PSYOPS and the Mk-Ultra experimentation. Although to what extent, we can't be exactly sure. This isn't a scholarly look at those topics, just a highly entertaining narrative by a very funny journalist/documentarian.

Boxset review
|
Well Im going to start off by telling you about the boxset it self. It has the 6 seasons dvd, the first ost, and well the box. This is the coolest box ever. It's like a case, you can open it and close it. Very tough quality, not just boxset where you slide the dvds in like robotech, or die hard. The ost is pretty good, but im not much of a jazz fan so i can't give a review on that.Cowboy Bebop is probably one of the coolest series to hit the states. It's a lot better then Outlaw Star or Trigun, some may disagree. It's not a series that continues on and on. Each ep has it's own plot. The overall layout is that it reveals each charater's past bit by bit. At first I found the music to be boring, but as it went along, I got with the beat. There isn't much thinking to do, it's pretty much flat out action most of the time.If you havent watch a lot of anime, or you only watch stuff on Cartoon Network, pick this up. It's probably going to be the first serious anime you will see.

Good reference book.
|
Like the rest of Haynes' manuals, concise and to the point. Well written and good layout as well. As noted above by others, it's divided off into chapters each covers first the history and theory behind the various types of welding, and then a general walk-through of the use. It covers the basics from someone who's walking into welding cold (er, bad pun, sorry) not necessarily a handbook for a welding student. In its defense, this is admitted within its pages. Still i found it to be a useful addition to my shop library. It was interesting reading, as well as a good primer for someone who is looking into starting up a welding rig. If you think you're ready to buy your first welder, i recommend you take a look at this. Well worth the couple of bucks. One last point, as with all technical books, keep an eye out for the newest editions. Advancements are always making tech manuals slightly out of date. Not a real big concern as far as welding, but something to keep an eye on.

Just as I recall
|
I originally owned a copy of this book years ago and easily learned and memorized the steps to solve "the cube" using the guidance provided. I can't say that I recall my personal best time on solving the puzzle; but the patterns were easy enough to memorize that I could find the solution while talking to friends or walking down the street. Considering all the possible moves, I think that's it's impressive that the book is simple enough to memorize those solutions. My original must have found it's way into a garage sale years ago, so I purchased a recent copy and a new cube. If my brain can still understand it at my age, anybody can use this book to solve this frustrating little puzzle and maybe even actually impress their spouse or, amazingly, their children! I see that other reviews that say there are solutions requiring fewer moves and I have no reason to question that. All I can say is that the solutions provided in this book are easy to understand and that they work!

Excellent gun
|
I've been a carpenter for 15 years, and have been trimming houses exclusively for the last 5 years. I purchased my Bostich 7 years ago, and trust me, it has been put through the mill. It has literally shot hundreds of boxes of nails. The only service work I have had to do to it was an O-ring kit (~$15) about a year ago. It's been an excellent gun and I will buy another one when this one finally wears out. It does not hit as hard as say the Hitachi angle nailer, but I feel it is built better, and the nails are considerably cheaper. My partner has the Hitachi and I grab it when I have to sink a 2 1/2" nail in oak, but other than that, the Bostich does the trick flawlessly. He does not like the Hitachi for the main reason that the spring is not strong enough to advance the nails properly. It was like that right out of the box. It may have a lemon. Don't know. We never got a good answer from the Hitachi rep. At any rate, this Bostich is a solid choice. I highly recommend it.

How did i miss this guy !!
|
Detroit boy and familiar with the local music scene here for a long time ( Old Miami, Blind Pig, Bakers, etc)and i never heard of this guy, how the HELL did i miss this guy. Big blues fan and my brother actually plays the harp in a local band, the back door blues band, have seen Buddy a few times and he is my fave, along with Robert Johnson, however Eddie Kirkland is now included, GET THIS CD !!. The first CD is more Delta traditional blues, it's a reissue of Front and center, and the second CD (reissue of deval and other blues demons)is a more electric R&B sound and it is my choice of the set.Highlights include Disc 1Goin' Back to Mississippi (Git work on this one is some of the heaviest i have ever heard)Detroit Rock IslandGoing to the River, See Can I Look AcrossDisc 2Hard to Raise a Family Today ( great lyrics, awesome song )Pity on Me ( great, great classic blues joint, great rhythm git)Mink Hollow Slide ( rippin slide work, makes you wish you could play like this )

Beatles Anthology DVD Set
|
I received this DVD set for Christmas and have been enthralled with it from the beginning. The interviews, recording outtakes, and rare film clips are worth it alone. But you do get an overall impression of how much or little the experience meant to at least the 3 (at that time) remaining Beatles. I think Paul has come to embrace and relish the music they did; I sometimes got the impression George could have done without much of the experience; and I was touched by Ringo's recollections. There were few memories Ringo talked about in a negative way. He said he loved going to the various places, and loved this and that. He seemed to really appreciate the closeness and friendship the 4 of them had, getting emotional at one point when he said it was 4 guys who just really loved each other.I also found the interviews with George Martin especially valuable. His unique perspective on their music and growth was very interesting to me.If you're a Beatles fan, you will enjoy this.

GREATEST GAME
|
This is, absolutely, positively, the greatest online game of our time.Yeah, you heard me right.I got this game as a Christmas present 2 years ago. Ever since then, I have played this game EVERY chance I get. Graphics are awesome, weapons are wicked, gameplay is insanely addicting.If you have a fast enough computer, a little time on your hands and a decent modem, buy this game and get ready to experience one of the greatest games you will ever play.For even more fun, call up your friend and tell him to buy the game. Then, find out what online server he is at, then hop in and compete against each other and 1000's of other people across the nation, and the world.BUY THIS GAME! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!Unfortunately, Counter-Strike is only a multi-player online game, although the mod's of other Half-Life games that came with CS are pretty cool too. Some ARE one-player. Another down-side: It will not work well if you do not have a nice computer with a decent memory card and modem.

Lifesaver Swing
|
I absolutely LOVE this swing. My son loves to be held in a cradle position, like his carseat, and this swing. He prefers being held, but that isn't always an option, and this swing is perfect. He takes his naps in this swing, he isn't old enough to enjoy the toy bar or the mobile yet, but I love the nature and music sounds. And the fact that is has two different swing positions. The only downfall I think this swing has, is that it doesn't have the plug in option, like the Fisher Price Rainforest Cradle swing. Which is weird, since they are the same type of swing, Fisher Price just didn't give the Papasan swing the wall plug in option. Be prepared to go through about 4 D batteries a month, but it is WELL worth it. And honestly, as much as we use this swing, 4 weeks isn't bad at all to go through only 4 batteries. I'll spend $5 a month on batteries if it comes to my son being happy and sleeping well. I would buy this swing over and over again, and recommend it to everyone.

It stops bleeding fast!
|
I started clipping my dogs' nails myself to avoid the high costs of grooming "pawdicures" and such. A couple of times, groomers themselves made my dogs scream and bleed, so I thought, why not learn and do it myself? I did, and I have rarely had a problem. However, one of my dogs has black nails. It is hard to spot the quick on his nails, so one time, I cut a little past it, and the nail started bleeding. Dog nails bleed so much and fast, very much like a human flesh paper cut. This product did what it is supposed to do and it worked fast. As soon as his nail bled, I applied a little bit of this powder on a moist cotton ball, and it stopped the bleeding. Also, this version of styptic powder has benzocaine, which numbs the affected area, allowing your dog to heal with less pain. I highly recommend it. Anybody should have it at least in the back of your medicine cabinet as a "just in case" product. It also works on minor cuts or when cleaning up tails that have been docked.

"Also, this version of styptic powder has benzocaine, which numbs the affected area, allowing your dog to heal with less pain.",
"I highly recommend it.",
"Anybody should have it at least in the back of your medicine cabinet as a \"just in case\" product.",
"It also works on minor cuts or when cleaning up tails that have been docked."

Finally
|
I had spend all summer camped out in Bluestone Wild Forest and had a ton of pictures and video on my Samsung A707. I checked around for this cable and found prices to be well above what could be considered fair-$25.00 and up in some cases. When I found it here I read the mixed reviews and despite some of the comments the cable was a couple of dollars and the annoyance then was shipping was more than the cable cost. It arrived with a Mini-disc which did not work in my computer. But, as some of the reviewers had spoken of and something I have done with my Sony and other products was to go straight to the website and download the PC/Phone Package. I installed the program, plugged the cable into the phone and my computer and had instant access to the files on my phone! Hooray!If this is compatible with your Samsung, Buy It. Grab the drivers off the Website and take full advantage of the capabilities of your phone, then smile and grumble that shipping was the biggest expense.

Mass-production Owen
|
Kris Lundgaard brings the masterful works of John Owen down to earth for the rest of us. If you have ever wanted to read the Puritans but were intimidated, this book is a superb place to start. The writing is clear, the chapters are short, the examples are understandable--but the theology is all Owen.Lundgaard/Owen explain how sin works in our lives and what must be done to kill it. When I first read the descriptions of how sins works, I said to myself, "Yes! That's exactly what's going on inside me." Many pastors--even good pastors--shy away from preaching on this subject because it doesn't feel good. In fact, it feels awful. But Christians must take a good look at their indwelling sin if they have any hope of killing it.I first read this book in a small group book study. It worked really well in that format, but would also work well in personal study.I personally find reading pure Owen extremely difficult. I wish Lundgaard or others would re-write more of Owen's works.

FANTASTIC!!!
|
As repeated over and over in many other reviews this little vacuum is FANTASTIC! I recently had hardwood floors put in the entire main level of my home. I also have two basset hounds that constantly shed. My beautiful Brazilian Walnut floors were covered in white dog hair every time I turned around. I was desperate to find something that would pick up all the hair but not scratch the floor and this vacuum was it!It has two modes carpet and floor. The carpet-mode simply powers up the power head roller. It works fantastic on area rugs and kitchen mats. This little vacuum is VERY powerful and picks up TONS of dog hair. I also use this on the hardwood steps and it does an amazing job.The low-profile and swivel head allows you to get under everything including furniture with ease. It has a decent length cord and collection container, and it is slim enough to store just about anywhere.I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum. The price is right and it performs way above my expectations.

Sarah loves it!
|
Our daughter is 22 months old and absolutely LOVES this movie! We don't own any of the others in the series, but will be picking them up one at a time soon I'm sure. I didn't expect her to enjoy dinosaurs at her age (I thought she might even be afraid of them), but she has requested this movie every day since we first played it two weeks ago. She enjoys the songs and focuses on the action all the way through. One of her favorite parts is toward the end when a couple of meat-eating dinos show up and threaten the main characters. She sees the bad guys and exclaims "Teeth!" and cheers when they are eventually chased off. Hard to say how this movie will hold up as she gets older, but for now, it's definitely a favorite!Trivia: It was an interesting surprise to find out that the grandfather in this film is voiced by Kenneth Mars, the Inspector from "Young Frankenstein". I kept waiting for him to shout "To the lumberyard!" Apparently, he's in most of the movies in this series.

On Being in the Role of Prisoner:"Jerry-5486: The most apparent thing that I noticed was how most of the people in this study derive their sense of identity and well-being from their immediate surroundings rather than from within themselves, and that's why they broke down--just couldn't stand the pressure--they had nothing within them to hold up against all of this" (pg. 186).On Good and Bad Guards:"Guard Geoff Landry: When a prisoner gives you a glassy stare, and mumbles inaudibly, you almost have to perceive the worst. It's almost because you fear that the worst will happen.

It Works
|
I've been drinking Yogi teas for a couple of years now. Just happened upon it at a health food store and wanted to try it. The medicinal Yogi Tea line is fantastic. It does exactly what the box says it will do... which is strange because I have tried many medicinal teas that have not given me any type of immediate or noticable results. I can have a tummy ache, drink a 6-8 oz cup of Yogi Stomach ease and half way through the cup my stomach ache is gone. The same goes for their bedtime tea: once I drink a cup I can lay down, close my eyes and I'm out cold and in a deep/restful sleep. This stuff is way better than the supermarket celestial seasonings line. Twinnings or Traditional Medicinals don't compare either. One important thing to be aware of regarding the Yogi line: these teas are spicy and heavy. Many of them have spices like cardimom, cinnamon, black licorice root, stevia leaf... some even have black pepper listed as an ingredient... they're loaded, but oh so good!!

Now if you read this book, you'd know what that means (Can I help you. Do you speak Italian? Here it is). It's not a high school langauge class, but it's a lot more fun, and with some time you'll get pretty good.I think Rick does a great job is laying out the phrases that you'll need if you go to Italy. We're going in a few weeks, and it's really helping. Now if he could only improve the memory.The book is small, will fit in a shirt pocket. It's broken down into sections (basics, eating, chating, etc.) so you can focus in on a section that you need, master it, then move to another section. After you've been through it all, you can then start combining different phrases and make some great sentences. It's got a lot of mnaterial in it, so start early when you decide to use it.Thanks Rick, I actually feel that I can go into the Italian world and be somewhat understood. And, not to worry, I'll smile as I butcher the language, use my hands a lot, and laugh at the whole thing.

Excellent,but

Okay,the game is very addicting. The sound,graphics,gameplay is all great! But I discoverd something else funer. Super Mario 64 DS. That game is way better. This game is good but that game is something you can't keep your eyes off. Remember when you finish the game and eyerything to do and ther'es nothing left to do, well this DS game has mini games. They are very addicting and fun! You can draw on this as well. The adventure mode takes longer folks. You can play as Yoshi,Luigi,Mario Wario. In The beginning of Super Mario 64,you could just walk in. But thwe DS version is different. You have to collect a rabbit to get in. There is more room's in this castle too with more levels. Instead of collecting 120 stars. You have to collect 150. If you don't have enogh money for a DS and the game but have a N64,dust off the original and have some fun. Or go out and buy your DS and game. Get whatever. You have to play this though. If you don't think I'm right,then you will be sorry.

Simply Amazing.
|
I first became aware of Adiemus after purchasing the Pure Moods I CD (the first track of this CD, "Adiemus", is track 08). Amazed at how the vocals seemed as if the whole of a small nation were singing, I purchased this CD, and Adiemus quickly became my favourite group -- of any genre of music. Potential Adiemus fans and collection builders should begin here.Although all the songs feature extended phonetic vocals, the songs vary in intensity and fervor. "Adiemus," "In Caelum Fero," the heightening-in-crescendo "Cantus Iteratus" and "Kayama" are among the more bombastic songs. Complementing (not contrasting) these songs are the more mellow "Cantus Insolitus," "Amate Adea" (the best song on the CD, IMO), and "Hymn," the perfect 'benediction' of sorts for the collection of music. The other tracks hover in between these two distinctions.If intensity is what you seek, your search ends with Adiemus. Wherever you want to go, their music will take you there -- and surely beyond.

Storytelling at its finest
|
In this timely tale of the potentials of human communication, Tony Vigorito presents an insightful look at what motivates us and where we might be going as a species. Just A Couple Of Days takes us on a decidedly postmodern journey through the irony of intention and its actual emergent outcomes: Through the unlikely vector of a militarily bioengineered virus intended to incapacitate an enemy, humanity's true capacity is ultimately revealed. Tony manages to maintain an elegance in writing equal to his lofty subject matter. He has achieved a brilliant blend of the mirthfulness of Tom Robbins, the precision of Kurt Vonnegut, and the insightfulness of Alan Watts and Thomas Pynchon, while never losing sight of the reader's experience in sharing this fantasy. Anyone looking for a peak experience as a reader will do well to pick up this new novel, which is fast becoming a cult classic. It is an uplifting and engaging twist on a universal theme. It is storytelling at its finest.

Fantastic!!
|
I started taking a yoga class with some ladies from work and we've all enjoyed it very much. Since we only have class once a week we were all looking for something to keep us going the rest of the week. I happened to find this Yoga Deck and I love it!! I took it to work and one of the ladies went and bought it at lunch time, the others are looking for their copies.This is not actually a book, it's a deck of yoga cards. There are cards focusing on meditations, breathing and of course, yoga poses. Each yoga card shows a pose, explains how to do the pose, gives a mantra to say if you'd like and then explains what the pose will do for you and your body.What I like most about this deck is that you can follow the pre-made routines, targeting different focuses in your life (such as stress relief, muscle flexibility, etc.) or you can make up your own routines.This is a great deck for anyone interested in learning yoga, as well as for those who just want to learn more about yoga.

Melinda Needs A Friend
|
Melinda went to an end of the summer party before school started. At the party there was drinking and many people doing things they weren't supposed to do. Melinda was scared, she didn't know what to do. Something had happened to her at the party that night. The first thing she did was pick up the phone and called the cops. When someone saw her on the phone, they grabbed it and heard the cop on the phone saying they were on their way. Everyone started yelling at her and running out the door. By the time school rolled around, none of her old friends would even look at her.This book is a really good book. At the beginning, all it says is that she called the cops at a party. It keeps you waiting through about half of the book wondering why she called the cops at that summer party. When you finally find out the thrilling news, about what really happened that night, you can understand why she called the cops. This book is thrilling, keeps you wondering, and is very realistic.

All songs are superb!!!!
|
This CD is excellent. It is created by two white guys (Tommy Lee and Tilo) who do a cross between rap and heavy rock. They are helped by Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Snoop Dogg, Kid Rock, Lil Kim, Mix Master Mike, U God (Wu Tang). I loved all the songs, not one was terrible. So when you buy this CD you will be paying for 100% good songs -- unlike some CDs when you buy the CD for the songs played on the radio, and that's it, you don't play any of the other songs because they're not very good. Methods of Mayhem (M.O.M.) is just the opposite. You'll be playin' these songs for a long time (intil you are dead) before they ever get old. Some songs are heavy like "Hypocritical" other are softer, like "Metemorphasis." No matter hard or soft, it is all good. Don't bother with the edited version it ruins all the fun. If you can only get the edited version, wait until you can get the real version. It is worth the wait. Now buy this CD and get your daily dose of Mayhem for the day!!...

This is jazz at its best. I remember first hearing his music on the famed radio station WHUR, early in the 1970's. One "listen" was all it took to hook me.I remember walking into the One Step Down Lounge in DC, plunking some coins in the jukebox, and traveling throught the smoky haze of the bar and into the convoluted nuances of Hubbard's fine fine rythms. (Since OSD also had the volume turned up on their jukebox, most of the bar patrons almost jumped off their stools at the first few notes of Red Clay - LOL)Hubbard's beautiful trumpet riffs were dark highways leading to a never-ending horizon at dawn, or a dark alley filled with secrets that whispered way up, beyond any confining walls, up into the mysterious constellations and late into the pre-dawn hours.The heartbeat pulse of his rythm and the exceptional fluidity of tone, volume and syncopation lent a timeless, eternal richness to his work.Freddie Hubbard, RIP -- I know there's a combo waiting Up there just for you.

Pilates Finally Meets Men!
|
Truly a remarkable Pilates resource specifically for men! I have been practicing Pilates for over a year now. The first time I bought a Pilates book, I felt a little intimidated because of the thinking of most people that Pilates was only for women. Most of the public did not know that Pilates is Joseph - a man! When I saw Daniel's book, I was captivated by the other advanced mat work exercises I had not seen before not to mention the reformer on the mat exercises! (quite challenging, I tell you!) I stood at the bookstore and read the book for almost 2 hours. The next day, I finally bought the book just this month. I have seen many Pilates books but they offer the same exercises, mostly modified and lack representation of the complete and original mat work of Joseph Pilates. I am a licensed physical therapist and I just decided to include Pilates even more in my fitness regimen for life, like air! Pilates is results-driven! Let's now hit the mat and burn that powerhouse!

"(quite challenging, I tell you!",

Simply a wonderful product!!

This monitor is everything I thought it would be and more! This was my first monitor so I didn't have anything to compare it to, but for over two years I have gotten full bang for my buck. Every feature works great and up to expectations. OwnZone, OwnIndex and the fitness test all perform flawlessly. The fitness test is especially valuable to let a person know how their aerobic capacity is changing as he/she gets stronger. I have also put this watch through a fair amount of abuse and its still going strong. I'm sure there are watches out there with more features, but I love everything about the M61 and I would buy another one in a heartbeat! I even change the batteries myself, although I dont recommend this for everyone. All that and it even keeps good time! Can be had for $[...] on Amazon.com. I paid way more than that and I still consider it a steal. You want to spend $[...]+, be my guest, but for my money the M61 is way more than a basic monitor at a very basic price.

Brilliant

Other reviewers' complaints about this novel typically focus on what is graphically unpleasant about Self's depictions of his characters. Well, wake up. It isn't 1959 anymore, when this complaint was raised about William Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch. Will Self has created an extraordinarily inventive, imaginative rewriting of Wilde's novel, set in the 1980s and '90s. Only a writer as talented as Will Self could have achieved this re-vision so successfully. The novel is filled with brilliant one-liners, and the plot and characters have also been brilliantly re-imagined. Anyone who is bored by the tiresome "cleverness" of contemporary gay American fiction, with its endless pseudo-dilemmas (how is the protagonist supposed to choose between the cute do-gooder and the devilishly handsome studster who keeps tempting him?) will be grateful to be able to read a novel in which plot, character, and style actually conspire together to create something truly thoughtful and lasting.

Very Helpful

I'm just learning German for the fun of it. Until now, I've just been reading books and working on the Tell Me More! course. I've been making a little progress but I kept getting hung up on the grammar and realized my biggest problem is my weakness in English grammar.Based on some of the comments here and the title of this book, I decided to give it a try. I find the book an easy read that helps me understand why German sentences are structured as they are. In addition, it has brought back some of the things I learned as a kid in Catholic school.I'm certain that this little book will be a great addition to the study materials I've been putting together. I'll be taking an Introduction to German class at the local public school and I think I'll be well prepared to understand the instruction.If you are like me and just learning German for the fun of it, read this book and I'm sure your understanding of the language will improve no matter what other materials you've studied.

Adjectives don't do justice

Upon first listening to this CD- it was the first one I listened to by MS. Merchant- I was struck by the depth it had. When you turn on stations like MTV and see what they have to offer (which, to be precise, consists mainly of shallow, superficial "artists"), and then listen to this CD, it becomes apparent that while some critics have dismissed her efforts, she remains so much more affecting then most any other artist out there."My Skin" is a song I feel compelled to discuss in this review. It's the most haunting song I've ever heard, and yes, while it is sad, it also contains hope.Of course, there are other excellent tracks as well, but other reviewers have already mentioned those. While it is a serious disk- for the most part- it is far from the word "gloomy" as a critic neglected to say. It is sensuous, at times moving.This is powerful music, and I'm glad Merchant chose this new, more mature sound- it suits her nicely, and shows her growth.4.6 stars for musicianship.

Watch this one first...

I saw this production in person, and it was a wonderful experience. If you aren't familiar with Wagner's Ring cycle, or you know the music but haven't seen it, this box set is definintely your best bet. It doesn't have any political or artistic agenda - it mostly follows what was called for originally. My impression in the audience was that this is what it would have looked like if you saw Nordic mythology taking place. And Nordic mythology is the ostensible topic of these operas, you can decide for yourself whether you're interested in possible subtexts. None of this is to say that this production doesn't have depth or subtlety, or that it's "stodgy." Staging the Ring is a big undertaking, and this was a fantastic realization of that endeavor, with great attention to detail. It's visually very pleasing - and the Ring was meant to be seen as well as heard. Whether or not it's the exact cast that everyone would want, all the performers in this production were world-class.

Great Review Book
|
The REA AP US History review was the book that I used to review for the AP test today. It's very detailed and goes over all the event that are covered in the textbook we used in class but in a more succinct manner.I also read the Princeton Review but I felt that it was too general and when I took practice tests, I was unable to answer the more specific questions. The REA book covers each topic more in depth than the Princeton Review does and at the end of each chapter there is a helpful time line for remembering certain time periods.While I did not take the practice tests in this book, I skimmed over a few questions and I would not recommend relying on this book for practice because the questions are too easy and of a lower caliber than is tested on the AP.But overall, this book definitely helped me cover and review all the topics I needed to know for this exam. I just got my scores, and I got a 5, because of this book. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.

This Thing Kicks Axx
|
I've had this for about 2 months. Much better than I hoped. I handed it to my wife as we got in the car (she's not the best with this stuff) and said "here's the on button", "program it to take use to Jims house". After a 2 second argument she starts pushing buttons, and has it ready to go by the end of the driveway. It couldn't be easier. First question...State? You start to type New J, and buy the time you reach for the e New Jersey is on the screen. Same thing for city and street address. It's so easy to use that I never read the manual. There are many features(screens) that I didn't even know it had. Like touch the screen in the middle and you can drag the map around to look at other places (plus you can zoom in). Satilite position and strenght(not useful but cool). Find food on the road...fast food, Asian, Mex...My only complant... would be nicer with a larger screen... but that's more of a cash flow problem of mine, not the Nuvi. They're made with bigger screens. $

You can't lose...

The Texas Tornados are like the reverse of the old big-box-containing-a-smaller-box-containg-a-smaller-box joke that your sister pulled on you when you opened your Christmas present. The band presents you with a brightly-colored package (graphically and musically) that seems somewhat modest at first but over time grows into a dear treasure. The songs unashamedly pluck at all the heartstrings with no apologies and you have to laugh at their brazen chutzpah. The musicians' credentials are voluminous and undeniable. The melding of Sahm-Meyers, Fender and Jimenez is a classic case of the whole being more that the sum of the parts. This Tex-Mex album is the AM-radio soundtrack for a sunny spring day driving south on Interstate 25 with the top down and a couple of shots of tequila just starting to warm your gut. Only the most pretentious or dour of listeners will fail to get a spiritual lift from this little gem. Don't cheat yourself-add Texas Tornados to your road collection.

Tolstoy's Russian epic
|
I just want to recommend to those who have trouble remembering all of the character names in this classic that they try to read some other work in Russian literature before they jump into "War and Peace." This will allow them to familiarize themselves with the Russian name form (i.e. nickname, or Given Name and Patronymic) which, in turn, will help them to better be able to remember the numerous character names in War and Peace. A second, and more important, tip I can offer, is to catorgorize the caracters into two groups: "Us" (e.g. Pierre, Natasha, Prince Andrew, etc.) and "them" (e.g. Anna Pavlovna, Prince Vasili, Anna Mikaylovna, etc.). To help to remember "them" ascribe a defining characteristic to their character. Thus, when encountered by one of "them," think of their defining characteristic and how it interplays with a member of "us." This novel is truly one of the greatest of all time, so give it the time it deserves until you are engrossed. You won't regret it.

A great inspiring book
|
This is a remake of Keith's first book, but even better. D J Stout redesigned it, and Pat and Keith added more descriptions about the images and details about how the project got started. An added feature I really like was the printed contact sheets in the book. You can see that Keith doesn't belabor the shooting, but seems to know exactly what he wants. No 20 rolls of film to get one shot! Also, the printing is beautiful. I read another review posted here, and the person said it was printed terribly, but it is not true. Keith tones and split tones his images, and they are reproduced very close to the originals. I think maybe the reviewer thought these tones were unintentional. Keith has made maybe a dozen books, and has been very experimental. This book shows us again, in a refreshing way, where he started. The book is inspiring because it shows a good idea completed, a photographer who can make art out of any subject, as well as a love story between a man and his wife.

great for anyone

First Ide like to say this is the best bang for the buck.. Wish it was an acoustic-electric but for what it is. No complaints. I bought a student version 39 in length but thats fine cuz its a full body, not a cut-away, so anything higher than the 12th fret is not happening.. This is a good guitar to learn on. I dont know about soft frets.. they seem to hold up well. of course Im not doing a lot of bending either.. I would rate the sound quality as good as any $250- 300 martin. Of course my acoustic playing is very limited.. Ive been playing electrics for 40 yrs. At least you owe it to yourself to check one of these out before buying anything...you may end up owning it for a few years before you move on.lots of pros.. (mentioned)The con: it does seem kinda cheap. and its very light. If your not careful you canFubar the thing by setting it down too hard or leaving it too close to a heat exchanger.FYI (I dont know where I read it) But this guitar is not made out of plywood.

Better than the Symphony!
|
After the birth of my baby boy, I rented the Medela Symphony from the hospital. That worked fine, but I knew I had to look at purchasing my own eventually.I use the DropIns system and love it, so I figured I'd give this a try. It was on clearance at a local department store, so I got it.I kid you not, I get at least THREE TIMES more milk per pumping session with this than I ever did with the Symphony. Yes, it's louder- but I think anything is louder than the Symphony! The power cord and tubing are a little bit shorter than I had hoped, resulting in less flexibility due to having to locate a plug, but honestly that's not a big deal.I'm thrilled that I purchased this-- it packs up so nicely and comes with anything you could possibly need. The silicone cups are so much more comfortable, and the areola massage works much better for me than the nipple-tugging on the Medela.As I mentioned, I get three times more milk per pump than before, and it's alot less painful. Worth it!!

Never to old
|
Hi Jon,For a long long time, I had been planning to learn how to play theharmonica. This past Christmas my wife bought me a set of Soul's Voiceharps and my son bought me your Harmonica Americana with CDs, the onlything better would be to have you here at the house. A few days ago I had a friend download and burn(I dont have a burner) your Chugging and Bending instructions. Man! you talk about getting you in the mood to play, I listen to them going to work, sure beats listening to Imus in the morning. I now chug as fast as real train, ok,,ok maybe like a 2 mile long train going up a 6 mile 20 degree incline, but one of these days I'm gonna crest that hill, and then it's downhill and the speed will pick up. I want to THANK YOU for helping me fullfill a dream that I've had since I was young pup living in Canada. I'M now 60 1/2 years old which again proves that you're always young enough to learn. Again I THANK YOU for the enjoyment that I get practicing.CordiallyMike Hebert

Brute Tough Aqua Blue
|
My whole life (at least the past 28 years) has been spent in the housing industry as a carpenter. I've done everything from footings to ridge cap, that could be described as carpentry. In my career I've abused, misused, torn up, and wore out more tools than most people will ever own in their lives. I'll be the first to admit it, I am very hard on tools.I purchased a cordless tool combo-kit of the 18-volt aqua blue variety in the late summer of 2006. The bag contained a quick 30 minute charger, two 2.4 amp/hr batteries, sawzall, circular saw, flashlight, drill, and a jigsaw. I took it home and fully charged the batteries as the manufacturer recommended. Within a couple of days I had to drive approximatly 1,500 3" screws in treated lumber. My new aqua blue drill performed this task with room to spare, something that would have sucked the blood out of my old yellow drill. As of this writing I have no complaints about my aqua blue tools, and would recommend them to everyone.

Can't get enough...
|
... of this toy! Our dogs prey drive goes wild when they see these balls come out. We have to monitor the use though. They each have to have their own ball and we have to take them away from the dogs before they collapse. They go really go crazy for them and would play 'soccer' for hours until they drop. The only down side is that our dogs can dig their teeth into the plastic around where the small opening is on one end. This creates gashes which we need to keep scraped down after play. Otherwise the dogs mouths, cheeks and lips become very sore and cut up as they roll the balls around the yard. (Keep in mind we have very strong dogs with high prey drive) When they have the gashes made, they can carry the ball around. Ours carry them proudly around the yard as if it is a trophy! If the balls were made of some sort of really hard rubber like a black type Kong or something it would be better, but then they would weigh too much. For the money - you just can't beat this toy!

INCREDIBLE MOVIE!!
|
My 14 year old daughter and I went to see this film, with a bit of trepidation due to the poor reviews. After watching the movie, we understood why - it was marketed as a thriller, when in fact it is anything *but*. It is suspenseful, often edge-of-your-seat, but no gore. It is just a wonderful, enlightening and enjoyable movie ... and if you give it a chance, it will offer you a glimpse or two into the fragile nature of our human qualities. We both walked away with a strong sense of uplifted emotion! Warning: if you're seeking a horror film, this is not the movie for you! We both found that it's sad when a movie receives bad reviews because it failed to deliver sex, foul language and gore!!! This movie was GREAT without resorting to that ... no cheap scare tactics. If your expectations are reasonable, and you're not expecting to leave the theater scared to death, then you will truly enjoy this movie! And you may just walk away and find you have a pocket full of hope :-)

Great Pocket Sized DigiCam!
|
I feel that a great number of compact digicam ratings are too low, as the reviewer is comparing them to a digital SLR. My rating of 5 stars is based on the fact that the FinePix F700 is a small pocketable COMPACT digital camera. I've made around 800 images,thus far and am very pleased with the image quality(even producing some fine 11"X 14" prints.I use the Fujifilm S2 Pro SLR digital with Nikon lens most of the time,but wanted a digital camera that would fit in my pocket and therefore be available at all times.I find for it's size the F700 to be a GEM in every sense. The Fujinon lens is very sharp,the dynamic range is outstanding,start up time and frame to frame speed is the best for any compact that I know of.Shutter lag that plagues compact digital cameras,has been greatly improved in the FinePix F700.IF YOUR STILL IN DOUBT as to whether the F700 is the digicam for you...check out George Schaub's glowing review of the F700 in the Feb.2004 issue of SHUTTERBUG magazine.

Landmark recordings!
|
The prestigious opulence of both Orchestras -like the Philadelphia and New York Philharmonic as well as his distinguished conductors who are now part of a legend- (given the awful actual horizon of so many prominent conductors without expression)make of this album a true referential item.Of course, it's necessary for all hard Nielsen followers, to search and get the fundamental and benchmark recordings of the Royal Danish of the forties and fifties conducted by Erik Tuxen, Larry Grandhal and Thomas Jensen in order to watch the whole picture.The jewel of the crown is by far, the legendary Expansive Symphony; not only it constitues the supreme version never equalled until this date; besides this historical document still remains among the ten greatest musical achievements of Mr. Bernstein.Thanks to the kindness of a priceless musical colleague, I could obtain a copy of these treasures this last Sunday.Believe me my dear reader, this is an anthological album , side by side.

Focuses on principles
|
Unlike many sports, golf just doesn't come easily with practice. A visit to any driving range will convince you that most folks can't figure out how to hit the ball long and straight. Something in the setup, perhaps the angle down to the ground, causes the vast majority of golfers to miss hit the ball. Usually they slice, over and over again. And even most senior citizens at the range do the exact same thing, even after hitting balls for 40 years. So most people don't figure it out no matter how many balls they hit.This author's explains and demonstrates the principles of golf so that you can have a decent chance at actually improving your swing. And this 45 minute video gets you working on the key elements of a correct grip, stance, back swing, weight shift, and release. If you've been practicing without seeing results then you probably need to review this tape and focus on the drills. If you skip the drills you will likely not grasp the significance of the instruction.

No more starving artists!
|
I have been painting murals and doing faux finishing, decorative paint, etc. for 11 years myself, and this is the first book that isn't laden with pretty pictures...it has the nuts and bolts of a business. When I started out professionally in this business I was 19 and had no idea how to run a successful business. Sure, I could paint anything I was asked, but that's not how you become a success, alone. Understanding the labor and customer service skills required, the marketing techniques and time management, those are the pitfalls of many artists, like myself. I learned the game as I went, but I made many mistakes. Reading this book gave me some clarity on my own business issues, and gave me some insight on how to tackle them. Most of us looking into purchasing this book are talented artists of some sort, usually people like us aren't the type to run a business too well, until you learn the ropes. Ever heard of a starving artist? WIth this book you will no longer be one!

adorably alice

this game is so so SO wonderlandy! it's fantastic because it actually follows the book/movies quite a lot- you meet all the fun, kooky characters doing their weirdish things, and you get to do all the alice-y weirdish things, too! you fall down the hole, you eat mushrooms and get huge and tiny, you find keys for different sized doors, you have races and stop for silly parties. the graphics are incredible for the littleness of the gameboy- it has that disney look to it- lots of color and detail. this is my most favorite game... there's just something entirely likeable about it, even when it gets to the more difficult parts (where i'd normally start making "grr" noises) i just sit there smiling through it all. it would make a fantastic gift. and so you know, even though the game might sound like a girls-only type game, my boyfriend and brother have started playing this game as much as their "fighting, monsters, expolsions" games. it's just really, really, reeeeeally fun...

Simply excellent
|
Rex Stout's detective stories are among the very best of the genre. They are pure detective stories, not "action" stories or "crime fiction." Stout invented a completely different sleuth; Nero Wolfe is a corpulent orchid fancier who seldom leaves his Manhattan brownstone but has his junior partner, Archie, do the leg work. The writing was literate, the plots cerebral.These TV depictions of the Rex Stout tales capture everything perfectly. Maury Chaykin is marvelous as Nero Wolfe, and Timothy Hutton is at least adequate as Archie. Before watching these I wasn't sure Hutton was up to playing the sometimes strongarm sidekick, but he does it fine.Rather that try to bring the stories up-to-date, the producers wisely retained the 1950's atmosphere, clothes, prices, cars, etc. Thus, the series transports the viewer back to that era.Anyone who enjoyed the Rex Stout writings will surely enjoy these DVDs again and again. To those who don't enjoy these--"Pfuii," as Wolfe would say.

Amazing
|
The Dismemberment Plan have been around for about seven years, but they have really hit their stride with "Emergency and I"--getting my vote as THE most exciting band out right now, hands down. I saw them live when they opened for Pearl Jam, and then I just totally fell in love with them. They put on an excellent show, and I would HIGHLY recommend going to see them.It took a few listens, but "Emergency and I" is a great album that will not instantly catch you.From the opening gurgling bass and high-pitched vocals of "A Lifetime of Possibilities", to the spoken-word beauty of "Back and Forth", the innovation just never lets up. GET THIS ALBUM AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF!!! I am at a loss for words trying to describe this album, because it is so original. Travis Morrison is also a great lyricist, commenting on the mundanities of modern life that we can all relate to.The Dismemberment Plan are THE most exciting band out there right now, and I am HIGHLY anticipating their next LP.

The Lavalier Secret
|
I was reluctant to go with the cheaper, battery operated lower end Lavalier.So, I bit the bullet, and paid [...] bucks for this Pro 45.Mind you I am blessed to have a Locker full of exotic and pro hi end mics, so I know a good mic when I hear one.-1st In the box, and paperwork inside the little red Box, there is no mention of lvalier. It is however, a PRO XLR connector,2- It is Phantom power (no battery)3- It sounds incredible!4- There is no wireless issues.5- It is hide worthy, and built sturdy enough to do the job capturing nuance.6- has a 20' connection is beautiful.7- For video, I am running this into a decent pre, and it sounds like Big time Network television. A few more bucks, but I feel like i have another decent mic in the collection.Happy with this for a New cast type Lavalier use. If it works for you is a matter of taste/ style/ use/ opinion. For sound quality, This, on the lapelle with a goof gate/ expander, I should not even be writing this secret !Have fun.

I've been using this mouse pad for a little over a month now, and there's no other way to describe it except 'superb'. Or I guess you could insert your personal favorite superlative. 'excellent' also works nicely.Anyway, the mouse pad itself is actually just shy of being as big as my monitor (19"). So, you can have your sensitivity as low as you want and not ever. run out of room. Ever. Seriously. I personally like the control side the most - for some reason I just feel more... in control or my mouse. Compared to my generic cloth mouse pad that I've had for the past 3 computers , this thing makes it seem as though my mouse is levitating. (I'm using the razer copperhead mouse, by the way.)Oh, and the squishy wrist rest is sure to keep my wrist safe from carpal tunnel for good while. It's really quite comfortable.All jokes aside, this is definitely the best mouse pad I've ever owned. If you've never had anything but a cloth mouse pad (or no mouse pad) prepare to be amazed.

Excellent grinder!
|
This is a great coffee grinder. As things go it is fairly quiet, not silent, but not ear splitting either. It is heavy, so it doesn't move around on the counter. The ground coffee receptacle seems to be much more antistatic than my old burr grinder, which is a pleasure. The top of the been hopper is clear, and after one mess of trying to pour beans into a closed container, I applied a small decal. No more beans all over the kitchen. I use the machine for my french press, and on the course setting it works great. Only a little sediment. But that is a french press for you. I measure out my coffee beans every time, and grind them all, but I suppose you could store the beans in a full hopper and grind some with the timer switch, but that is not precise enough for most coffee geeks I know. Cleaning can be a problem, I suppose, but I solve it by not cleaning the thing very often. Well, actually at all. Seems to work fine. All in all, I would highly recommend this coffee maker.

My favorite album, period
|
This album is just so great that it's a crime that so few people know about it. Sometimes just gorgeous and sometimes really crunching cathartic stuff, all combined with the kind of odd murky and haunting sonic atmosphere that you expect from 3MP. This was album was clearly a slapped-together job, comprising of new material plus B sides and outtakes etc over a period of years. And yet the material outdistances anything else they've done. The bass work in particular is phenomenal -- he plays it like a lead guitar. Also, if you're a fan of Pinback then you really should own this. One caveat: I almost never listen to CD2 -- except for the song "The Trail", which is great -- and the very first song on CD 1 is really the worst on the album. So don't let that put you off, because the rest of that first CD... wow. Wow! If my desert island disc was limited to one choice, it might be this one. (Well, okay, a Beatles disc might win instead, but only just.) Really, it's that good.

Why can't people like it?
|
What's the problem folks? Why is this one so hard for people to swallow? It was an incredible film. And who keeps saying there wasn't enough action? Were they in the bathroom the whole time the machines were attacking Zion? Series not resolved? Of course it was. Neither The Matrix or the machines were destroyed, this is true. However, the series was about Neo, and Neo's story was resolved. And what was there to not get? I keep hearing from people who were confused during this movie. How? I don't understand that. Reloaded had so much more senseless babble that went on and on. Remember the scene with the Architect in Reloaded? Now that was a lot of long-winded crap. Or Neo's conversation with the Oracle in the park, now that had some truly bad dialogue. Revolutions is so much more advanced than Reloaded. I don't know. It makes me sad that so many are depriving themselves of an amazing movie, but that's alright, I loved it and strongly urge others to see it for themselves.

Really love this litter
|
I was a skeptic, I will admit. I had a hamster years ago and never had to do any of the "cool" things being done now. However, I bought two dwarf hamsters for my kids and they actually use this litter! I didn't have to train them at all, I just added the outhouse and voila, it worked. Now, they may still "leak" every now and then, but when I cleaned their cage last weekend, there were no wet spots that needed scrubbing (like I used to have to do with my old one). I recommend this litter to any small pet owner.One thing I was confused on is I bought the smaller, cheaper box of litter--which they are small pellets--but when I went for a bigger bag, thinking I could save money, the pellets were a bit bigger and the hamsters seem to not have used it. Not sure if I just didn't read the bigger bag right, or I got the bigger ones by mistake.Either way, I am happy with this product and just bought 4 more boxes :)EDIT: What happened with the price? Skyrocketed a bit, did it not?

Makes my mouth water!
|
Our French Basset is not a finicky eater, in fact, she will eat almost anything she can get into her mouth. But, she has an allergic reaction to a broad range of ingredients commonly found in dog food; the result is we have relatively few choices of foods we can provide to her. Most of the dog food we can provide is reminiscent of unappetizing hospital food. Well, that is, until we found Merrick canned dog food. I suspect if you took some Merrick canned dog food out of a can, put it into a soup bowl and warmed it up, you could serve it and any human would happily eat it and ask for more. Needless to say, our dog loves it (as does my son's Australian Kelpie) and, having read the ingredients, we feel good about providing it to her. So far, over the last several months, we have served her Merrick's French Café and Cowboy Cook Out. Her health excels, there have been no indications of allergic reaction, she licks the bowl clean and we feel good about what we are feeding her.

Sweet Pea
|
I just adore this snuggle pod sweet pea thing...this would serve as a gift for my baby, but I find that I just have to give it a rating of 5 even before she appreciates it just because I find it too cute! :) It is a bit smaller than I expected but if you think about who would be using this eventually (babies and rugrats), it is just the perfect huggable size for them ..so I guess that means mommy won't be able to enjoy it as I would if it had been a plush bear. But then again, I wouldn't trade snuggle pod for a stuffed bear anyway. Perfect and safe toy for kids. too cute, washable, well made and is not that expensive. :)UPDATE: my baby girl is now 4 months old, and she just LOVES this toy! :) she likes holding it and I feel safe letting her grab it as she practices her grasping and coordination. she likes "biting" the toy which I am perfectly okay with, as I can easily wash the entire thing in the washer and it comes out looking new. great product! highly recommended :)

Go watch it, it's fun!

This is a movie that will hit home for oh so many singletons who know the scene too well and are searching for love in other, less explored, areas. Jessica takes a plunge and, for better or worse, she ends up with an unexpected result and a better, more profound, understanding of herself.In a way, the movie is a hymn to making your own mistakes instead of gaining wisdom from mistakes of others. But isn't that true that you get to know thyself much better through a first-hand experience? Well, Jessica does exactly that, and the result is something we all wish for - better understanding of thyself and the world around.On a negative side, the leading actress seemed to have either a speech impediment of some sort, or she was just poorly trained in the art of speech. Whatever it was, it made it difficult to understand her a few too many times.Overall, this is a movie for those with an open mind, conservatives will probably have hard time grasping certain points of the movie.

Gorgeous

The word gorgeous applies to both the 1560V's picture quality and exterior styling. I personally prefer this black one, although you might want to check out the gray (white?) one if that's your color. Teh contrast ratio is excellent, and according to a recent PC World research report (and much to my pleasant surprise), NEC-Mitsubishi understates the contrast ratio on their LCD monitors, so you get more than what the manufacturer tells. (Apparently all the South Korean manufacturers overstate their contrast ratio, therefore shortchanging their customers this way.) Even though this is only a 15-inch LCD, the screen feels big due to the black frame. Set-up is a breeze, even for most beginners. And it stands out nicely on your desktop. I've owned another NEC LCD monitor for over 4 years and have had no problem, so I feel confident about the 1560V's quality as well. Very highly recommended. This is the one to get, unless you want the NEC-Mitsubishi 17-inch or larger LCDs. :)

Hey I enjoyed this one!
|
Just a good old plain fun book! Yeah, some people might call it fluff, but it was good fluff. Not to heavy on the background history, just enough to let the reader know whats going on and why. This is the type of A.H. book I like, when I as the reader can hook into the characters, because their just plain old folks like you and I. Not some far fetched hero I can't picture, but folks. It this case Americans! A bunch of gun toting ones at that! Plop a whole town from modern day West Viginia in the middle of the Thirty Years War and see what happens, first a lot of heavy handed justice that's for sure, then we have to save the Princess, then we let everyone know that we will not be messed with, no sir! Cause we are by God Americans! I would very much like to see Mr. Flint write another story, a sequal (don't ya just hate that word), I would like to see where and how far this story line could go. I mean come on we aren't gonna let Richelieu get away with what he did are we?

great product
|
I wanted to replace my old Garmin Street Pilot. I also wanted a cheap product with useful features, but not packed with stuff I do not want or will not use.This little gps unit comes with streets of the United States. The color screen makes it easy to use. The display can be changed from a 3D, or bird's eye view of the road, to an overhead, traditional view. The scale can be adjusted with the push of the plus or minus sign. After having it for several months, I turned off the spoken part of the direction because it is just easier for me. I like to program "favorites" into the little machine for places I have not been to yet. Then, when you are on the road, it will guide you right to it. I purchased an AC adapter so i can sit at home and enter data, then move it to the car. The on-screen map has gotten me out of many neighborhoods when the main roads have been blocked by construction. I recommend this product and there is no need to spend more money than what this costs.

too good to be true.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law is one of the funniest and most refreshing shows to come out of the incredible line-up of Adult Swim shows. The show's creators, Ouweleen and Richter, obviously have connections with Hanna-Barbera and have access to all of the characters from the shows of the 60's and 70's. They mix these characters with crude, witty, sarcastic, and debaucherous humor. What you get is pure hilarity, brought to you by such great voices as Gary Cole, Stephen Colbert, and John Michael Higgins.Throughout each episode the show seem to become more refined and more hilarious. One of the best cartoon shows I have ever seen in my life. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the incredibly eccentric and radiant shows that are constantly on Adult Swim, this show being my personal favorite.The DVD has plenty of enjoyable extras that will keep you entertained, and will give you a burning desire for Volume 2 to come out as soon as possible. I know I'll be waiting.

I am attachment parenting, and have found it difficult to get him to do ANYTHIMG without me! he sleeps with me, I'm breastfeeding him, and he is such a mommy's boy! he will NOT go in a bouncy, in a swing, in his crib, in his carseat (of course he has no choice of this) or ANY other contraption. the only thing he wants is MOMMY'S ARMS! that was untill this activity mat! I almost didn't buy it because I was afraid it would go to waist like all the other stuff, but from the first moment he was in love! he loves the toys, he loves the lights and music, he loves the tummy pillow HE LOVES THIS MAT! I can now actually get a shower, or make lunch (ON THE STOVE) since we got this mat, How did I live without it????? I'm sure your bundle will love it too! It's definatly for the picky baby!

I love to watch it over again
|
Funny, touching, sweet, profound in a perfect way. Great soundtrack (I bought that, too), there isn't much of a plot, doesn't need one. Very simple story, very lovely. The scene at the hospital when Bill Murray is talking to an elderly Japanese man seems completely unrehearsed, natural and it worth watching the movie only for that. The two Japanese ladies sitting behind them keep laughing, it is just great. Bill Murray in the role of a slightly tired and jaded actor is beautiful. Just beautiful. By the way, I've never seen Bill Murray in anything that wasn't great. I've heard he's "difficult" to work with, but is that a bad thing? He does great work. This movie is a delight. Scarlett Johannsen is superb, the actor who plays her husband is a perfect young husband and the girl who plays the dumb action movie actress is a hoot. Beautifully shot, beautifully paced. Made me want to visit Tokyo. Each scene is fun to watch in itself, little vignettes (did I spell that right?).

A great holiday read!
|
This book moves through time from the ancient to the modern, and follows the story of an ancient couple that has learned how to live as long as they choose.When I first started reading it, I was questioning if it really was my kind of book. I'm glad I stuck with it! Robbins has this incredible writing style that combines well written prose with clever similes and metaphors. Just like David Letterman, he will be writing something serious and out of the blue he'll throw in something that adds a decidedly comedic mood. So it's not an easy read, but extremely enjoyable.On of the most refreshing things about the book is the way that Robbins will be writing about ancient times, and driving his points home with modern and humorous images. He was "shaking like the shuttle in an overachiever's loom" or "The Middle Ages hangs over history's belt like a beer belly." I don't know if everybody would appreciate this kind of writing, but I loved it. I'd recommend this book to anybody.

Tombstone - a modern classic
|
Though I am no fan of Kurt Russell or Val Kilmer, their performances, along with very strong supporting performances by Sam Elliot, Dana Delaney and others, make this film a real pleasure. The writers and director were certainly fans of the Western genre and had learned a thing or two from John Ford and others before they set out to make this picture, and this may have been the first "neo classic" followed recently by "The Mask of Zorro" and "The Mummy". Surprisingly, it is actually more accurate to the life story of Wyatt Earp than Costner's mess "Wyatt Earp". It is much more satisfying than other modern Westerns, particularly those of Clint Eastwood, whose brooding and gloomy vision may be historically accurate but is awfully depressing. Along with "Silverado" it is a modern classic,and a great deal of fun with with strong acting and an excellent script. However, sensitive persons and children under 14 probably should avoid the picture due to its episodes of violence.

A Group Named Audience
|
Audience was a terrific band from the end of the sixties genre (early seventies). House on the Hill and Lunch are some of the greatest albums from this period. Audience was somewhat like Jethro Tull, but very unique in their sound. Both albums contain great music and lyrics. Your Not Smiling, Indian Summer, Nancy, on Hill and Stand By the Door, Ain't the Man You Need, Trombone Gulch and Buy Me an Island, on Lunch. Also on Lunch the song, In Accord, is a great-intertwined tale of love and music.If you like classic rock music then this album is worth buying. I agree that It Brings a Tear should have remained. Also the vinyl song order was there for a reason (Gus Dudgeon, Producer).It is nice to read the other reviewers comments and to know that I was not alone in my enjoyment of Audience's music. I wish someone would / could build a web site on Audience like they have done for Wishbone Ash. Does anyone from the Elektra Records label know what happen to the band's members?

Smooth and Sexy

The third installment of Bond was again quite close to the book, and more of a pure spy story than the action flicks the series later became. Made in the 'good old days', when they could film a Bond movie each year and have a hit every time! It is also the container for the most provocatively named of all 'Bond girls', Pussy Galore. Fleming dreamed up a few of these not so sly double entendres, but this one was REALLY out there. LOL This movie was the first Bond film to change locales around the world several times, moving from Miami to England to Europe and then to Kentucky.The manner of death of some of the villains is a bit altered from the book, but for a film adaptation of a novel Goldfinger stays very true to the original story.Sadly, the battle between Goldfinger's forces and the troops stationed at Fort Knox presage a sad development in Bond climaxes as the series progressed.Very enjoyable, Bond is still more of a spy than a commando, sit back and appreciate it.

Many valid points
|
The author helps women understand the way we have been design and how it gives us a sense of fulfillment when we apply most it's of practical principles. It might challenge most modern society ideas of how women should respond to their husbands, hence it's reading can bring the common wife to examine and reflect on her day to day interactions with her spouse. Hopefully it will encourage you to bring about changes in your mind set and in your relationship. I know this has been the case with me. I am still single & believe you can always prepare yourself as much as possible before going into marriage. Obviously I can not apply everything in it's reading, but what little I have taken has brought many fruits not only in a increased trust and communication with my boyfriend but also in a more confident, peaceful and satisfied me. I've come from a very liberal mind set.I hope women who read it will have an and open mind yet keeping a balance and asking the Lord for direction.

What are you talking about ?

Look, while this show was not the best on TV, it was good. You have to give Chuck credit for doing something right. The show lasted more than six seasons. Isn't that saying something? Most TV shows don't even last half a season these days. And if you're wondering, "J.J.", half of a season is (13) episodes. Chuck went over (100) episodes. I guess, it was a bad show, eh "J.J."? Now, I'm not slammin' you, by any means, but give the guy a break. Chuck did his best for almost eight years. And yes, alot of his fight scenes were actually not him. (Which would probably explain the "famous roundhouse kick" not seeming like smooth Chuck Norris style.) Sorry Chuck, but it was noticable a couple of times. Anyway, don' t you think that after 5 to 7 years, Mr. Norris earned the right not to do some of his fight scenes? Well, I hope they release the complete series. And for those "J.J.'s" out there, if it's really that bad for you, when you seen the DVD's on the shelf, keep walking...

Highly recommend

This product works great for our cat. We have a 17 year old indoor only cat. Our daughter recently moved back home with her indoor puppy. The cat hissed and was very unhappy with this change so we put up a baby gate to keep the pets separated. Our cat still felt threatened and was still very stressed. She even began to pull out her fur. She also lost lots of weight because she was barely eating. I was looking for anything that might relieve some of her stress without putting her on Valium. She does not take pills well and since she was barely eating, putting it in her food was not an option. This plug-in diffuser works great. Within a couple of days, I noticed she was much happier and had stopped pulling out her fur. She has also begun to eat better and rarely hisses at the puppy anymore. The only negative is it covers only about 600 square feet so I had to buy two of them. Be sure and put a note on your calendar to buy more refills because they only last about a month.

Best Purchase I have made!
|
I wish I would have found this book before any others. It was exactly what I needed. It is a wonderful guide to how to teach through real life and with plenty of fun. She gives an extensive list of things in your home that you already have that enrich your childs learning expirience. She talks about making habits in your home. It reminds me of "7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It sould be called Highly Effective Habits of the Homeschooling Family. It has been such a comfort to me and has given me wonderful new and fresh ideas to add to what I had been doing. She suggests several games that help children learn. I seriously cannot say enough about how much I love this book. It is a breath of fresh air. It isn't telling you that her way is the only way or the best way it is merely stating the fundamentals, the facts, the basics, learning should not be dreaded! Worth Every penny. I only wish it was sold in hard back since I use it so often, Mine has great wear and tear.

Poor Production???
|
This album is one of Kiss' best. The songs are well written (for the most part - barring the usual KISS cheese factor) Ace's solos are some of his best, the emotive quality of Gene's backing vocals (check out "got to choose") will bring you to your knees. There seems to be a general consensus about the production and that it is somehow of inferior quality. I can't help but wonder with what template these people are measuring? I can, to some degree, understand why people might say this but ultimately this viewpoint is the sentiment of the amateur audiophile.There is a lot of production gold to be extracted if you know how to listen. The quality is very unique (vs. poor). It was probably done on the cheap, sure BUT if that is the case, what was created - by most probably overlapping demo tracks with "cleaner" tracks - manifested one of the MOST unique sounding rock albums in existence... nothing I have ever heard sounds anything like it. And whatever "it" is, I want more!

Validation in Numbers

Peter Gillquist charts the journey that so many of us have been on. What makes their story particularly amazing is that they didn't start from Orthodoxy. In complete ignorance, these Campus Crusaders began to study and to search. When they discovered Orthodoxy, in typical Protestant fashion they set up their own Evangelical Orthodox Church. The remainder of the book chronicles their journey through theological and ecclesial waters, their attempts to overcome protestant proclivities against certain practices and their search for union with an Orthodox fellowship. What makes their story amazing is that they started from *nothing* but church history and the Bible. This journey is reflected in my own. I intend to buy copies for my family who cannot understand how I could become Orthodox. I expect it would be helpful for Protestants who have visceral reactions against any suggestion that one particular church might actually come close to embodying the "New Testament Church."

Training Your Brain
|
You're interested in philosophy and want to learn something about the subject. Now, you could jump right into Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" but we'd probably never hear from you again. Instead, I recommend "Philosophy for Dummies". Tom Morris poses the big questions, offers some possible big answers, then leaves it to you to decide what you think. It's all done in a light but thorough way -- the philosophical facts are there, minus the jargon that can be off-putting for the non-professional philosopher (besides, you can pick up the lingo later if you do more reading in the field). Morris' central concern is philosophy's relevance to life, which makes this book particularly useful for the general reader (and for us specialists who need to have "the principle of sufficient reason" laid out on one page). The book makes you want to read MORE philosophy -- thus the Socratic dialogue continues. Its information on the non-Western traditions is particularly welcome.

Wow! I don't regret my month's wait of getting this book! I thought the first journal was outstanding, however, this journal blew me away! Such adventure!!!! When I read about the places Claidi went, it was as if I was there. If you read this book you will get into it so quickly that you won't want to finish! The book also makes you want more when you finish, but that's a whole other review!If you aren't a big romantic and love adventure, you would like this book. However, if you love reading about two loved ones who have to be apart from one another this is the book for you as well! Lee, the author made such a brilliant character that I fell in love with the moment I read the first book! Her wit just makes me laugh and wish I could be more like her This journal relates back to the first one so if you haven't read Claidi's first journal you must rush out to a bookstore and get the copy as well as this one! The whole collection of journals are outstanding! Enjoy reading!

Good and Creepy
|
I have to admit, after the October 31st episode aired, I was afraid they were throwing yet another horror story cliche at me (zombies) to go with demonic possession, aliens, psychotic killer, creepy mad scientist/doctor, creepy nun, etc. and I threw my hands up and decided zombies were the last straw (I have no interest in the zombie genre). But friends told me to come back into the fold, that the poor creatures in the woods surrounding the asylum were not, in fact, zombies, but something... different. So, I got on Amazon last week and watched all the episodes I had missed since October 31st. What can I say... I am enjoying the craziness, the eeriness, the edge-of-my-seat, sitting-and-watching-through-my-fingers nervousness, and I am sympathizing with characters and cringing at others, and hoping some get their comeuppance - I'm in for the long haul. I am enjoying it as much as I did the first season. Bring it on, AHS, I'll be watching. Scared and squirmy, but watching.

Expert and hypnotic
|
I've never even considered writing a review before, but having read the ones posted I had to add my dissenting voice...I thought that this was one of the most luscious and expert pieces of writing I've ever read. Granted, the first few pages are inauspicious, but the dialogue, the characters--I don't know, I found them completly convincing and absorbing. In fact, I'm probably doing this out of sheer demented exhaustion, since I haven't been able to put this down for a couple of long nights, and probably tossed and turned from a creepiness I usually hate in a book, but really respected here for it's ability to drag me by my feet into a totally unfamiliar world, to make me respond to characters I have no business understanding.I liked The Secret History a lot, but it was very much a first novel; the characters were really entertaining but, to me, completely unreal. What a difference a decade makes in this writer's ability to create people! To each her own, but I loved it.

A Genuine American classic
|
Pulp Fiction is no doubt the best movie of the 1990s with a excellent cast,brilliant writing, and superb direction. The plot is mainly three stories in one movie with two hitmen killing two guys in the beginning and then taking a suitcase,a boxer killing an opponent and gets in a real problem after getting back his watch,and then has the two hitmen talking to robbers in the restaurant.Each tale is well-written with some messages in them like the suitcase's combination being 666,the bandage on Marsellus'neck,the word Grace being on the gastank on Zed's chopper,the clocks reading 4:20 on the pawnshop wall in the basement when Butch is walking down the stairs,and why the suitcase had a weird gold glowing light when they open it.If your a fan of drama and like black-humor this movie is perfect. The violence is mostly off-screen and shown very little.PF ties with Clerks for being the best movie of 1994 and the whole 90s decade.If it wasn't for this movie the 90s would stink.

Haunting Harmonies
|
I bought this album in the lp days when it came with a poster of a swamp which effectively transmitted the over-all sense of this album- peaceful, warm, rich with life, laid back and intense, all at the same time! I never did much care for the Allman Brothers, oh, they were ok and all for a city band, but this album slipped into my heart with those harmonies and the sweet picking. It seemed a good bit less forced and forcible, like being able to visit the musician in his cabin home and stay long enough to find out what the pulses of a rural life are made of.There is a relaxed communication in this album which haunted me for all of the fifteen years since I lost that album until now. I wanted it back. It didn't fade. It just played out patiently in the back of my mind, haunting me with echoes of harmonies until I broke down and came looking for it.Don't buy this album unless you are open to falling in love! This is not an album to appeal to the cynical or the road weary.

Great for Kids and Collectors
|
I love this guy so much I'm even getting him a collar. I got him for myself as a graduation present a while ago and I have absolutely no regrets. He's huge (at least 4 inches larger than anything else in my extensive plush animal/Pokemon collection) and a bargain for this price. Unlike some of the other reviewers have said, mine didn't have any shedding issues. On the other hand, even though the box he came in was massive, one of his legs wasn't straightened out when he was packaged and it still won't lie right over a year later. I might restuff it later, but even with this minor problem he's about as close to perfect as you can get for less than $50. He makes a great pillow and all three fabrics he is made of are very soft and durable. I think his claws are made of felt, so there are no sharp edges anywhere. I would recommend this as a gift for children, but not really young children; it would definitely be a nightmarish mess if they decided to cut or pull out the fur.

The Magic in All of Us
|
Having been a De Lint fan for many years now, I found this collection to be just what I had been looking for in his previous works. The masterful blend of reality and the fantasic brings us back to a time when the veil between the mundane and the mystical seemed just a little bit thinner, when we could accept the mysteries of life and of magic without the desperate need to catorgorize them, file them away, and forget them. This novel seems to have a slightly darker feel than the others, incorporating lifestyles and beliefs just a shade outside of our own and letting us borrow them for a while, walk in their steps, and see through their eyes. The incorporation of the political overtones to his work serve as a poignant reminder of our responsiblity to the victims of our society. Overall, this book is a lovely collection which can be taken either as simply a charming set of stories, or as a well phrased wake up call to the issues we all face, directly or just as observers.

This Trio Cooks
|
Eddie Green was a name unknown to me until I heard a cut from This One's For You. The man swings his a-- off with a very tight rhythm section of Tyrone Brown on bass and Jim Miller on drums. Track 1 kicks it off with a blazing version of Sam Jones's Unit Seven, and Green keeps his foot on the gas for a smokin' original, Skeeter's Kitchen, with a beat so blues drenched it could get the dead to start hip shakin'. Even his ballads, including All The Things You Are and Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most, have a beautiful bluesy feel to them. Green, for a blazer, really knows how to evoke emotions at any tempo. Sound quality is excellent. I rate this CD among the top piano trios I have, including such marvelous players as Kenny Barron, Mulgrew Miller, Derek Smith, Eric Reed, John Hicks, Mike LeDonne, Michael Jefry Stevens, and Cyrus Chestnut. If you're into bluesy, cookin' piano trios who know how to vary the menu, add Eddie Green's This One's For You to your collection.

Best 70s Rock Movie Ever!
|
Anyone who gives Almost Famous less than 5 stars simply doesn't get it! Not only is this the best film to be released in the year 2000, it is the best movie about the rock scene of the early 1970s that I have ever seen - period.Although I was only about five years old when this story takes place, I'm fairly well read on the history of rock music. I have to admit that I caught absolutely zero historical inaccuracys during the course of the film. Cameron Crowe knows his stuff.The film is well executed in every area - Direction, Writing, Casting, Acting, Cinematography, Editing, Soundtrack, et al. I've never felt more satisfied after shelling out eight bucks to see a film than I did after seeing A.F....and who cares that we have to wait a while for the "special edition director's cut" DVD. I already bought the current edition and I look forward to buying the director's cut as well.Nuff Said - this film is a timeless classic and deserves all of the praise it's been getting.

"Anyone who gives Almost Famous less than 5 stars simply doesn't get it!",
"Not only is this the best film to be released in the year 2000, it is the best movie about the rock scene of the early 1970s that I have ever seen - period.Although I was only about five years old when this story takes place, I'm fairly well read on the history of rock music.",

Comprehensive and Practical
|
As a professor of Organizational Leadeship and Conflict Resolution...as well as a practicing mediator and negotiator, I found this book to be of great interest. There are many books on negotiation that either focus on the simplistic bargaining tactics or the theoretical implications of negotiation. This text skillfully integrates both of these elements providing the reader with a comprehensive viewpoint as it relates to negotiation.Of specific assistance were the many helpful examples and tips placed throughout the book. If I had to criticize the book, I would only say that it is not a simple read per se for the beginning negotiator. That is, there are elements of logic, weighted analysis and such that the novice negotiator may get lost in. Looking past that, there are many helpful tips, tactics and theories that any negotiator could benefit from.Now if the price could just come down a bit (I'm negotiating), then this would be a perfect book for a course on negotiation!

BEST SIMS GAME EVER
|
I always been a fan of The Sims games. When I got my new MacBook Pro I wasn't sure if The Sims would work on it or not. Well I got The Sims 3 which worked, but every time I would save it and go and play it the next day, my saved game had disappeared and was always telling me to start a new game, which was annoying and made me mad to keep restarting a game.When I saw The Sims 2 for Mac, I brought it because I used to play it on my old computer and really liked it because it had the three neighborhoods and lots of houses, so that you could put lots of families on it. When I brought The Sims 2 I kept saying to myself please work on my laptop. Sims 2 works like a charm on my MacBook Pro and moves really fast. I absouelty love this game and recommend people to buy it.Just a FYI, if an EA Games folder shows up in your documents DON'T DELETE IT, because if you do all of your saved stuff will be gone, cause that it what happened to me a couple days ago.Have fun playing The Sims

Blacck & Decker steamer
|
I have had 2 B&D steamers in the past - gave one to my mother to encourage them to steam veggies and she decided she loved it. Recently gave my second one to my Dad and his wife as my Dad was discovered to have diabetes and encouraged them to use it and they love all the variations of cooking that can be done with a steamer - so ordered a new one for me. I'm a little bit discontented with the quality and desig of this B&D steamer compared to my 2 older models. It steams well and the oval shape is more user friendly- but if you are going to add any extra water to it through the spout on the side for that purpose - you must first lift off the very hot top part which is not a safe operation and empty the catch basin part because if you don't it will run over with the addition of the extra water steaming off! I wish they still made the older round model and am glad that I gave those to the folks I was encouraging to use a steamer because they are sturdier and easier to use.

Retro from Tampa
|
This is an extremely interesting and timely book that makes the case that Saddam was both dillusional and determined to build the bomb. The author describes Saddam's intent to wait out the U.N. and then reconstitute his program, and he clearly states that Iraq would have been able to shave months if not years off the delivery of a nuclear bomb.Saddam, like Hitler in the 20s and early 30s, was clearly a grave and gathering threat who would threaten the world with WMD. This story actually cooberates the Administrations claim that Iraq could have reconstituted its program in months, and with the acquisition of a small amount of enriched uranium or plutonium, threatened the world.Finally, the author makes clear that Saddam had the intent to build a bomb, and certainly the money to acquire fissile material from the corrupt oil for food program. Waiting, as Kerry now suggests he would have done, until the threat was imminent, would be too late.Thank you for an excellent book.

Awesome bath tub!!
|
My son (now 5 months old) hated taking baths since he was an infant. He would just scream as soon as I put him in the water until I was finished. Needless to say, I was always rushing through the bathing process and felt very stressed and upset.I read all the wonderful reviews about the Eurobath and was sold. I tried it out on my son and the moment I put him in, no screaming! He loved that he could be remain completely still and not slip down into the water. He also loved that he could kick his feet and move his arms to his little heart's content without banging them into anything. Yes, this tub is huge! But I found a way to hang it up high on the bathtub wall, so it's out of the way when my 1 1/2 year old daughter takes her bath.I can now look forward to giving my son a bath and know he will be happy. Bathing time is such an important bonding time for baby and parent and should always be an enjoyable experience.This is such a wonderful product and well worth the money!
