| This compilation called Photograph is much better than Ringo Starr's Blast From Your Past compilation. The videos are really great, especially "Act Naturally"; the dancing in "Sentimental Journey" was very graceful. I am very impressed with the CD's coverage of his "Goodnight Vienna" project (4 songs); I even like the moving rocketship icon when you're asked to select a video. "Oh My My" is a great disco thumper, Ringo did a sterling job of covering "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful, and You're Mine", and "It Don't Come Easy" is still a hit worth airplay on your Top 40 radio stations. My favorite song form the latter part of his career is "Never Without You" from his "Ringo Rama" project. Ringo is a down-to-earth rock musician, and he has worked with a great many other rock stars besides his fellow Liverpudlians John, Paul, and George. Rock on, Ringo!!!! |

| I'll keep this short and start off by admitting I'm a huge DS fan. Knopfler certainly doesn't have the greatest voice however you have to admit the man does know his way around a guitar. You can certainly argue this point but I believe Money for Nothing is close to the greatest rock song of all time; I love the unique melody and lyrics, humourous point of view, unusual video animation, etc. Many videos on the disc are not all that noteworthy however MfN just about makes the dvd worth the price all by itself. |

| Not idiot in a "even a dummy can learn chess" way but the idiot who got swindled into buying this book.The book offers nothing of real value and all the mysticism and Bushido philosophy only serves to distract the user from important stuff (like the real chess books nearby on the same shelf). |

| Since the book is well written, why did I give it the lowest possible evaluation? Because the only way to learn physics/math is to do problems, problems, problems until you can do them in your sleep. For this reason, the traditional and time-tested method has been to allow the student access to the solutions to the odd numbered problems while leaving the even numbered ones to be assigned by the professor. For reasons unknown, author Schutz has decided not to make any solutions available to the student struggling to see whether they are doing a procedure correctly. The student is left floundering with no way to evaluate their progress with the problems presented. For this reason I regard this book as totally inappropriate as a text. (PS: As a 1973 Ph.D. from Kent state, I have repeatedly requested access to the solutions to problems in the text, but because I am retired, he is unwilling to provide such.) |

| Not too much to tell here- this is simply a double dip. WB really should have released the Extended Edition on Blu Ray. I have no doubt the product will be a phenominal BD. Unfortunately this is a case of the studios realizing that people will pay two, three, and four times for the same product. |

| I purchased this album in june 2004 and honestly, I have no idea why I did not get it when it was released in 2002.. It is one of the best pop-rock album I've heard in the last 10 years. Rob Thomas has an incredible voice, the band is great, it's just one of the few albums that I can actually listen to and not skip any songs. A must-have for any pop-rock fans! |

| This C.D. is unquestionably one of the best hip-hop albums ever. If anything has ever qualified as a must-buy then it is "Resurrection". In fact it was my favorite album until Mos Def's "Black on Both Sides" came out. Now I like both but in different ways. While Mos Def's C.D. is a masterpiece in it's creativity and sound, Common's is a masterpiece in it's story-telling and personality. This album seems like it's talking directly to you like nothing else I've ever heard (except maybe "One Day......") Whereas you might respect and want to meet Mos Def after hearing his album, you'll truly feel like you really know Common after listening to this.If you loved "One Day....." by Common, and are considering buying this one, but find yourself worried that it'll only seem like a let down, think again. This album in my opinion is his best work. His new one, "Like Water For Chocolate" is supposedly coming out March 2000, here's hoping that after that day I'll have a new favorite! |

| This phone has great features, caller ID, answering machine, ect. But the quality IS THE WORST. I am standing right next to the base and it will say, "out of range". Happens numerous times! Sound is clear at times, but at other times the sound will cut in and out. I have a better connection using my cellphone. I'm looking for another phone right now to replace this one. I just can't use it anymore!! |

| I've been an avid Palm fan for several years, but the experience just buying my Palm Vx has been horrific. The CD was corrupt, but Palm would not replace it until I'd spent a week calling for help. After the replacement CD arrived, strange things kept happening, like 3 months of my MS Outlook calendar being purged! After spending several hundred dollars having tech support come in (thinking it was user error) I started again with Palm Tech support. The hardware was bad, and it took more than 15 hours, over a week and a half to get them to admit it and trade for a refurbished unit. There is now a two week backorder on the re-furbished units. I've since polled friends, and it looks like the Palm Vx has some serious problems as everyone who bought one recently has had problems. Buy a IIIx or a Handspring. |

| Jason Robert Brown straps you into an emotional rollercoaster when you listen to his new show "Songs for a New World." You get goosebumps from the time the first note is sung until the last number (to which Brown lends his voice.) Brown has given you a rainbow of songs, spirited "dance-number" songs, earth-shattering balads, comedic show numbers, and songs that just make you smile. Everyone of these performers is beyound talented, they are amazing. And when the full company sings together...heavenly. You won't skip one track because everyone is wonderful. This CD won't leave your player...unless of course it is to put in Brown's newest show "Parade." Or Audra McDonald's "Way Back to Paradise" where she sings "Stars and the Moon" a piece from "Songs..." This CD is a must for any musical theatre buff, any lover of the theatre, or anyone else who simply wants to hear a fabulous work of art. "Songs for a New World" is spectacular! |

| Sorry to poo-poo someone's effort at publishing but this version of the FAR/AIM falls short of the competition on two accounts:1. The FARs ARE NOT UP TO DATE! Specifically, 91.167 (the 1-2-3 Rule), which is updated in the ASA *2001* version, has not been revised in this McGraw-Hill publication! Sadly, the McGraw-Hill website does not reflect a timely update, either. (It still references the 2001 edition.) I am concerned that there are other, more pressing changes that are not current.2. The AIM is only black-and-white, no color.Because of reason #1, I will be returning this book, and will order the FAA-issued FAR/AIM. |

| In meticulously chronicling US/German relations before the Great War, Mitchell has managed to reveal that there never was any German designs on the Americas, and that she was used as a bogeyman and cover for US imperialism under the guise of the Monroe Doctrine. She also exposes the innate anti German bias of the Fifth Estate, as well as the perfidy and treachery of the British in sowing/fanning the flames of US hatred for Germany, while appeasing the US by bending over backwards, in Venezuela, Mexico and PanamaActually what was most interesting was the last pages when Mitchell cursorilly mentioned the blatant land grabs, occupations and annexations in Carribean and South America in 1915 and thereafter by that hypocritical, amoral imperialist, Wilson once the Euroepean Powers were heavily engaged in mortal combat, all under the name of protecting freedom, democracy and human rights (sound familiar?). |

| Travelling through the Balkans, I was looking for an easy to read book that would give me an overview on the history of the region. A tall order for a slim book, and I wasn't expecting to get the grand tour. I didn't. But I didn't expect the book to be so dry and difficult to read as it was.A little too academic for my tastes and nonlinear in structure, The Balkans reads like a thesis - not exactly enjoyable to read, but it does make you think well past the final chapter.The author is generally sympathetic to the Balkans, arguing (fairly successfully) that the region is not a hotbed of simmering violence and that nationalism was not part of the agenda for many until the late 1800s.But in the end, The Balkans can only offer a glimpse of a very complicated region, and doesn't touch on modern times quite enough. |

| The plot : environmentally sensitive macho-man versus evil oil tycoon looking to exploit the virgin wilderness of the nature loving Eskimos. It sounds like an A-Team episode. The dialouge is almost laughable - "you are the bear" the shaman says to Forest, the main character, "you have a destiny to fufill". Uggh, cliche city. The action sequences are sub-par and are made all the more boring because Forest is essentially a super-man, and from begining to end the supporting characters never waste an opportunity to tell us just how great he is. The movie is capped off with a sappy, anti-corporate speech (complete with canned images of smog-filled cities and oil-soaked seals). I watched this entire movie because I'm overseas and english-language entertainment is hard to come by. Otherwise I would have stopped watching it within 20 minutes, easy. |

| If you hate studying the endgame like I do, this book is of very little value. Your much better off buying Silman's Complete Endgame Course from Beginner to Master. This book is just to ponderous for anybody unless he wants to spends hours and hours pouring over it and loves the minutiae of the endgame. From this perspective, I give it only 2 stars. I am USCF rated 1757. |

| Considering this is a spin off or prelude to the mummy films, there is absolutely NO comparison. Basically the movie features Dwayne Johnston (Aka "The Rock") Running around being Mr. Big Tough ancient guy. The film is nowhere near the collosal event that was the Mummy. If you are a big "Rock Fan" you'll probably like it soley for the fact that it's his big movie. Other then that, it's really not a run out and see it kind of movie. Wait until it's out on cable and save yourself some money! |

| what could have been an interesting and intellectual combination of styles turns out to be a bit of a disappointment. had atreyu combined all the best aspects of metal (technical, heavy guitars), emo (smart, heartfelt, emotional lyrics), and hardcore (unbridled energy), i would have enjoyed this immensely. unfortunately, they didn't combine these aspects as well as perhaps they could have. it seems that they try way too hard to be gothic and depressed and use some of the stereotypes and cliches of 80's metal, while trying to be hardcore by screaming over all the tracks.a bit of a disappointment, but its the trendy thing now, so if your into the whole scene-kid thing, this might please you. but i think that it could have been much better. |

| I've not made purchases at Amazon that I can recall right off, but this one was unsettling at best.My purchase was never acknowledged; I had to log in to find out that "it will ship soon" leaving me feel that whomever would do so when "they" were in the mood.It did eventually arrive. As for the product, well, it's a water pump. My purchase was as a back up since my current unit is beginning to loose it's back-check valve. I've not installed it to-date, simply waiting until that anticipated day that mine no longer pumps water. Sure-flo pumps have always worked and I have no anticipation this one will be a problem.Karl here ... |

| I tried this as a "healthy" alternative to liquid foundations, previously pressed powder foundations and thick liquid ones weren't good for my skin. This one was too watery, providing me very, very little coverage. The good side, it always felt invisible (probably because it really wasn't there). Goes on easy but, again, it's like tinted water without the noticeable tint. Eventually after prolonged use this began to irritate my skin and caused what had to have been an allergic reaction (the bumps were quite awful). I would not try this product again. |

You need to study better direct response marketing books, such as Dan Kennedy's The Ultimate Sales Letter and Robert Bly's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Direct Marketing. This book has some good scripts for radio advertising but that'a about it. I thought about just throwing this book in the trash. |

| Mr Lund has done an almost superhuman job of doing the research necessary to make this novel believable. I was most impressed with the details of the town of Palmyra and vicinity as well as the historical context of the Erie Canal. I hadn't realized that the Erie Canal went through the area (I live in Washington State and have never been to the Palmyra area). Lund's descriptions were so clear that I could easily picture the setting of each Chapter. The book also has historically accurate tidbits of information about LDS Church history, which added interest to the story.Reading this book has given me an interest in taking a vacation to visit historic LDS Church landmarks in the eastern USA.--George Stancliffe |

| By far Jerry goldsmiths finest and hauntingly greatest pieces of music score that "I" have heard in years. Jerry Goldsmith has composed and scored some of the greatest movie themes in cinema hitory, such as Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Chinatown to name but a few. With the Powder Score Jerry Goldsmith is at his finest hour and "I" believe any other great movie composers would agree that the score to Powder would be hard to eclipse. With this "beautiful music" Jerry Goldsmith allows you for a moment to believe there is still "goodness and hope in humanity"... To the late Jerry Goldsmith, "THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES". Great CD. |

| I used this blender for about 2 years, and it did fine for light jobs. However, the motor would overheat if you used it for more than a minute at a time, so you would need to let it rest a bit. Eventually, the plastic piece that kept the shaft attached to the motor became unglued, and the motor stripped the blade-shaft attachment. Like I said, it worked okay for 2 years, so I got my money's worth out of it-- which wasn't really much. I'll spend a little more money next time for something that will hopefully last. |

| These are by far the longest, most boring, and overall possibly the worst movies ever.The Godfather part I comprises maybe 3 or 4 of the most boring movies ever. It's about 10 or 15 hours of stupid, inane BS that nobody could possibly care about. I tried to watch it all the way through, but fell asleep after about 6 hours.The Godfather part II is even longer, somewhere between 15 and 20 hours, which according to Godfather fans makes it better than the first.The Godfather part III is so boring and awful that even fans of the first two movies can't stand it.And keep in mind, I was able to sit through all 4 or 5 hours of Citizen Kane and I actually kind of liked it, so my taste in movies is not the problem here. |

| I remember watching this movie when I was young. A guy who attends night school comes up with these wild ideas to pitch to his girlfriend's boss (one of the NBC exec's) and his ideas are all wrong. That is, intil he discovered a chimp who can pick the top rated shows of the week. It's easy to laugh out loud when you're watching this movie, and it's one of the classics that entertain without the use of sex, drugs, swearing, any of the stuff used in hollywood today. Two thumbs up! |

| This DVD is a great example of how Hilary gets by on her looks. Includes making and videos of "So Yesterday"/"Why Not", and a short version of the video "I Can't Wait". Includes home videos and photos of Hilary when she was younger, and less annoying. As far as Hilary in the studio, it includes performances of "Little Voice" and "So Yesterday" which are both lip synched, as anyone who has common sense could tell that. They also show bits of performances of some other songs on her album, also lip synched. So you see no live singing here. Just Hilary faking it. |

| I bought this product for my daughter. Although it was a cheap item, it also reflects the product's function. I guess I got what I paid for. With the volume knob all the way up, the music can barely be heard. That is with the shower OFF. With the shower on, the music cannot be heard at all! Thus, this item should be illegal to be sold on the market. This is the first time I've purchased a shower radio, so don't know how the sound is supposed to be, but the music is so distorted from the worthless speakers, that even with the shower off, it is hard to understand what is coming over the radion. Sounds like blown out speakers. |

| Van Leer's book is everything we want from gay and lesbian (and queer) theory. Written in extremely lucid, beautifully crisp prose, Van Leer looks closely at how "the closet" could and did function in important ways in mid-20th c. America. He returns theory to the masses here--offering an analysis that is truly accessible to all readers, academic and non-academic alike. Moreover, he pays close attention to minority subcultures and their intersections; he is not solely interested in gay, white male specificity. In this respect alone, the book is completely novel and important--evidencing a respect for all minority populations existing within hegemony. A theoretical tour-de-force and a treat to read, "The Queening of America" is the book we all should have turned to in queer theory's nascent period. It's a shame it isn't read and cited more often. |

| It's just a matter of opinion, but these interpretations (or lack thereof) are totally wrong. With all the other (tiresome) Chopin recordings out there, we need this one like we need a hole in our heads. It is barbaric and brainless. Yet another stupid and unnecessary recording of the Chopin Etudes.-------ADDENDUM: Apparently "Prelude" seems to think that if you don't like this recording, then you don't appreciate Chopin. "Prelude" insists that I need to back up my opinion, but fails to back up his/her own. To the buyer: DON'T LISTEN TO PRELUDE! PRELUDE IS OBVIOUSLY ATTACHED TO PENNEYS IN SOME WAY, AND HAS A BIASED OPINION. "Prelude" is also projecting his/her "burnt" past on to me. Would you trust the opinion of such a person? |

| This is a story about an unlikely pair-- a strait-laced Mormon boy and a wild NY girl-- who manage to find love despite their differences. But can there be a happy ending when they come from two different worlds? This love story, based on a 70's book that I never read, had me sobbing at least four different times throughout the movie. Then I had my husband watch it with me the second time. My husband never cries. He cried.I would say the acting in this movie is somewhat inconsistent, at times not %100, but at other times brilliant; also this is a low-budget film by general standards. But the story and soundtrack make up for any slight imperfections.If you don't like over-the-top, sappy love movies, stay away. But if you like a good, clean romance film, this is for you. This is an LDS(Mormon)-made film intended for a broader audience, so if you're not Mormon, you shouldn't let that deter you. What an awesome movie! |

Water started leaking from every crevice possible on this sucker. I called cuisinart and they are sending yet another replacement, of which, they are going to charge me for return shipping. Skip this device and pay a little more for something else- I have lost more money in time spent haggling, re-boxing and shipping. |

| This is a great CD, and in my honest opinion "Superman" makes perfect sense. There's nothing wrong with the "digging for kryptonite on this one-way street line", especially if you think about what the song is actually about - not just the difficulty Superman experiences in being superhuman, but the expectations and pre-conceived opinions that ordinary people encounter every day. The line about digging for kryptonite really is touching on the ultimate low that a lot of people hit when they're experiencing tough times, that is, thoughts of and even attempts at suicide. "Superman", although it uses the metaphor of a superhuman hero, is a piece that really can be extended to any person out there. |

| ********Warning, some mild spoilers********It's absolutely amazing that Patterson wrote off the entirety of Big Bad Wolf in one sentence. And the fact that the plot of this "sequel" is so completely unrelated to the previous book that it's laughable. He even pulled in elements from even EARLIER books almost like he couldn't find a way (or was too lazy) to tie up the loose ends in another book. He seems to be on cruise control and not taking much time to write these.The pacing of this book is at a fever pitch......that is until the last 80 pages or so. Once Alex comes back from Paris, it seems almost laid back, and everything is dropped in Alex's lap once again.Since there are no loose ends, this IS my final Patterson book. |

If you're an IMAX fan, outdoor/animal lover, or just want very high quality entertainment for your home, then you must consider adding this film to your collection. Its not just a kids film either, all of the adults in our family enjoy it just as much as the kids do. |

| If you're looking for a simple radio/DVD player for the garage (what I'm using it for), etc....then this will work for you. No bells or whistles. You can fine tune a station in for good clarity and the volume is acceptable before distortion sets in. |

| This CD is just plain awful.There is not one song where you can understand a single word that the lead singer says.What bothers me even more is that people actually like this kind of stuff and hate music that is actually good. |

| Nicely developed, poignant tale that will interest young readers from the start. Lots of good details about horses and ranch life are woven into the story. The main character is a young boy on the run from unspecified troubles with his older half-brother. Some of these troubles start to come very clear as the story unfolds. Philbrook gives Roy, his narrator, a distinctive voice and a very believable story. His brother is also a quirky, believable and likable character with a nice mixture of good qualities and serious faults. The plot moves along quickly, and with the interesting action and the real heart in the story, it is easy for a reader to get hooked. |

| This book should be required reading for anyone contemplating a purchase of property on the eastern coast. While the "pulpit preacher" tone gets tired, we are seldom aware of just how much change occurs over a relatively brief period of time. Pay your money now or a million when your lot is under water in another 30 years. |

| Paladin scores again with the final installment in its trilogy on George Washington! (see my reviews of _ George Washington's First War: The Battles for Fort Duquesne_ and _When the Forest Ran Red_) This installment shows us GW's life from the end of the French and Indian War to the Revolution. The coverage is quite deep and not not superficial in the least. However, since it covers the interwar years, we don't get as much 'shoot em up' battles scenes that we got in the first two installments. Nevertheless, this DVD examines how GW grew during those years, what forces played on him to become a revolutionary, and how he influenced those around him. This is perhaps the most important chapter leading up to his break with the Mother Country. You won't want to miss this important, in-depth DVD on George Washington.To continue the saga, you might want to watch _The History Channel Presents Washington the Warrior_, which covers GW's time as general in the Revolution. |

| It was a nice series. I have read Snelling before and enjoyed her books. Her family connection in the series worked well. |

| We bought this for my daughter when she turned five months old. We use the setting that lets her hit the key to hear a tune. She loves banging on it. When she gets bored with the banging, I set it on the music setting. I like the tunes that it plays and my daughter enjoys how the stars light up when she hits the keys. I would recommend this. |

| The Toshiba 15LV 505 [ASIN:B001DZJVO2 Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player (Black)] that I bought from Amazon (which is great) does not have VESA connection for this wall mount (VideoSecu MLB)yet Amazon recommended it to use with this TV set. Apparently the 15LV 505 is really not wall mountable. I wanted it on my kitchen wall about 7 inches off the counter top to free up space but now I can't. |

| It is a good book with good examples of simple and yet, smart designs with amplifying qualities. Good architecture doesn't result from decorations without substance. It doesn't come from additive ornaments. Despite a revision of the value of ornament in architecture today it is critical to focus on what the essential is in architecture. This book helped me get more conscious of it. Recommended. |

| I bought this product 2 years ago because I was moving into my own apartment and needed a starter set. I hardly used it, maybe 3 times a year. I bought myself a new end table recently from amazon and had to assemble it. I pulled out this set. The main screw driver handle - the one that is used for ALL screw driver heads - just fell apart in my hand. I am left with a half assembled end table that I cannot finish.Now the entire Denali Tool Set is unusable. This set wasn't cheap (for me) and I very disappointed. I have no idea how to get a replacement handle-unit, I have been researching the Denali company and cant find anything - it is a dead end.If anyone has any suggestions or know how to get in touch with their service department, it would really help me out. I am a big fan of Amazon and their customer service, but this time - I feel let down. |

| Aside from Gran Turismo 3 and Twisted Metal Black, all of Playstation 2's killer franchises are going over to XBOX. Plus, XBOX has a total of 40 1st and 2nd party studios making games for it. If you are looking for a console this christmas, look to the XBOX for superior graphics, better DVD playback, high definition gaming, builtin broadband adapter for internet gaming, 4 ports without the need for a multitap, hard drive for saving games instead of memory cards and for storing your own personal game soundtracks on, and realtime DD5.1 all for the same price as a PS2! In other words, the smart buy is XBOX. |

| I remember first seeing The Prisoner in the late 1970s on PBS.It was amazing. There might be a couple of weak episodes here (towards the end) but the others are great. I use many of the phrases and gestures seen in the show-"Be seeing you", "You know what you are - a fool, an idiot." etc.What I find eerie about the show is how many of the ways the Village watched Patrick McGoohan are now in place. |

| When I first discovered that spore was coming out I was so excited. Even the videos I saw on youtube etc demonstrating it looked good. But once I got it, I was at the space phase in a matter of hours! The game is such a great idea but goes way too fast, it appears they cut out a lot of good stuff I saw in the preview videos. You should be able to build the whole planet like sim city. but the cities you create on this game are so dumb you can do nothing with it. Not to mention any building you create is going to look really dumb. And once you get to the space phase it's like a never ending snooze fest. I even bought the creature creator thing before it was released i was so excited. Once I got the game, total disappointment. Don't buy it! Maybe wait until spore 2!! |

| I love these headphones because they are one of the better designed stereo bluetooth headphones out there, small, lightweight, and discreet. Now for the bad news: they tend to fail after moisture gets inside of them. The buttons on the side stop working soon after you complete a workout. This is a sad truth about them, as they are ideal for exercise. I have owned 2 and they both failed the same way, so I am very familiar with their shortcomings. Overall, they work and sound good, but beware about using them during any activity that may induce sweat, as they can be very fragile in that regard. If you end up buying these and use them during such activities, dry them frequently and immediately. |

| This is not the best cooking book I have ever seen, there are not pictures at all, and some meal might be particular to the authors area in slovakia , the introduction starts with saying from slovak people, which is unknown from my girlfriend who is slovak... When I read this book, I felt like it was written very quickly, it does not seems to be written from someone who got the receipies from his grandmother. However, it gives a good overview of what they eat, I recommend the cabage soup, mnam !!! |

| Again, this book seems to lack content, as did the previous two in this series. This book seems filled with irrelevant clipart more than actual advice. Also, the annoying editing mistakes again make numerous appearances in this book suggesting it was quite rushed. Most of the advice is completely common sense, and not what I would consider "advanced techniques". The book begins to go over some of the information that it needs to address, but doesn't get into near enough depth. In the three book series, Andy never really goes into bluffing, what specific odds are, what specific tells people might have, etc. If you want to get a good book, I would get the book by Ken Warren "the winner's guide to hold'em" which goes into much more depth, and is written much better. |

| This book is another page turner and I couldn't put it down read it all night. It was worth the wait!! I love the way she makes you feel like you know these people and want to know them, and makes you feel all of the emotions that they feel.I was sad/hurt/mad/and lustful right along with Skeeter and Arnelle, and loved every bit of it. She keeps you wanting more with ever end she brings you a beginning. Great writer!! |

| Only one screen protector in an order. Very slightly (about 1 mm.) too wide for the screen of my XV-6700, so it's hard to put on. Scratches easily (even the smoothing card that came with it scratched it). Not visibly or tactilely better than any other screen protector I've used over the years, but also no worse.On the plus side, comes with disposable little finger-gloves (like little balloons or condoms) you can wear to prevent fingerprints during installation. Had not seen that before. |
