Shameful!

Got this movie because of the reviews and my love of 3-D on my HD TV. First, the glasses had the red and blue reversed, making them unusable, but when viewing this mess, with glasses I had, there was no part of the experience that came even close to being 3-D. Unless I got a very bad copy, this was as dull in content as I would ever wish to experience, so the only thing that could possibly have saved it would have been spectacular 3-D.National Geographic has really gone way down if they consider this entertainment, and as far as the other reviewers go...well! Maybe I'm not as easily entertained as they are!Amazon, as usual, allowed me to return it.

Roald Dahl is weird but he sure can write.

Utterly delightful and whimsical but as always with the strange Mr. D totally unsentimental, this story sweeps you along with a wonderful melange of eccentric characters and his unfailing narrative pulse until suddenly and marvelously you find yourself perched atop the Empire State Building in an inspired ending to this wondrous adventure. I devoured this book smiling all the way through. Dahl is hard to categorize, unique and not a little disquieting, but oh the places you'll go (to steal a line from Dr Seuss) when Dahl presses his narrative pedal to the floor.

Not The Twilight Zone!

This is the book to have if you are a fan of sf on tv. Although the series had its usual assortment of bug-eyed aliens set on conquering the Earth, The Outer Limits did try to add a few well written episodes, including "Demon With a Glass Hand" (a Hugo winner), and the episode "Soldier", both written by Harlan Ellison. Notable in this book is the inclusion of a shooting script for the "Soldier" episode. The book contains the usual insider information on production of the series, and contains some very interesting photos. A good reference for scifi fans!

Great Stuff

Sharon Fiffer's DEAD GUY'S STUFF is a smart, funny and satisfying must read. Fiffer's weaving of family, career and murder is impeccable and lots of fun. By twists and turns the story is jampacked with surprises and revelations about life that tickle the reader's funny bone while at the same time evoking the deep "Aha" that makes reading a story so satisfying. I can't wait until the next book comes out so I can learn more secrets about Jane Wheel and everyone whose life she touches.

Expensive, but worth it.

If you're looking for an in depth book on AAA and it's associated algorithms, there's no match for this book. Much as I wish I was wrong and that I could replace the book I borrowed from my friend with a cheaper book, I'm afraid I'm about to be forced to shell out the [...] on AAA. And I'm only going to need it as an intermittent reference. There's no math (at least no Greek), but many of the algorithms used to underpin the subject are explained concisely and clearly. It's simply well written and more informative than anything else on the market. I'm a sales engineer and this book was written on the ideal level for me. Technical enough but also abstract enough. Good work sir!

a wonderful book

Like many of Noel Streatfeild's books, this places ordinary children in an exciting context and shows the hard work behind the glamour. In this case a brother and sister, Peter and Sasha, adjust to a very different life as they go to live with their uncle, Gus, a clown in a circus. The story is set in England in the time between the two world wars and is a fascinating glimpse into a vanished way of life, but the people and their problems are very contemporary. Peter and Sasha grow through their experiences and we grow with them. Noel Streatfeild's books always emphasise that we have the resources to meet the challenges life throws at us, if we are prepared to work hard and to use our intelligence and common sense. I recommend this as one of her best.

John Force: The Straight Story of Drag Racing's 300-MPH Superstar

Awesome !!! TOTALLY AWESOME !!! Force is THE BEST !!! Just got back from "THE STRIP" at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and had a great time. Well worth the money not only for the book on Force, but the trip all the way to Vegas from Chicago. Will go again next year to see this "GREAT" of the motorsports community !

Don't buy the Kindle version

I purchased the Kindle book, and it has these pictures of pages, where the writing is so tiny you cannot read it, and enlarging does not change the font. So I feel like I have to buy the book again, in hardcover/paperback. So don't waste your money on the Kindle version. Otherwise, the book seems great. Simple and easy to follow.

Sweet!

After buying Eminem's current cd, I decided to buy his 1st one. In my opinion, this cd is more mild than his current one. "The Slim Shady LP" contains funny and witty songs. The rhymes shows how talented Eminem is. The best songs on this cd are, "My Name Is", "Guilty Conscience", "Brain Damage", "'97 Bonnie And Clyde"(a twisted song about Eminem killing his wife), and "My Fault". Every song is funny! The downside is, you may get offended. The lyrical content is bad. If you get offended easily, don't get because you will be quite appaled. All in all, this cd is pleasing and very entertaining. A must have for your collection.

Good use of vocabulary and wording. Very good! Love it!!!!!

Can't Go Wrong With the 'Mats on the Soundtrack

Give props to writer-director Greg Mottola for not repeating himself. The temptation must have been great to copy "Superbad" but "Adventureland" is a completely different animal. Both are coming-of-age flicks but the tone here is bittersweet. "Adventureland" is funny in part but it's mostly poignant. I like this film alot but it didn't resonate in my subconscious like "Superbad". This is not to slight the film but only fair warning to anybody expecting something else.

Good romance story

Good movie if you enjoy a romance with a twist and like channing tatum and rachel mcadams. The movie even says "inspired" by true events, so of course the book is better it always is! General public wants two good looking people with good chemistry and hollywood wants to sell you on a romance story with a tragic event, this does just that.

Walk away

This toaster oven looks beautiful on the counter. Just leave it there to enhance your kitchen but don't plug it in. The shabby knobs break the moment they are stressed at all, the toaster does not toast.... if you want toast for LUNCH, turn it on at BREAKFAST, mechanical timer sounds like the "60 MINUTES" stopwatch and is only a few minutes (for toast). No timer for oven. I am truly sad because it looked so good!

Good Read - Well written

I picked this series up at the suggestion of a friend and was pleased to find it an engaging read. Butcher tells a good tale, and his characters are well rounded and, like most of us, imperfect. The world he creates is mix of real world gritty - Chicago style - with a fairly traditional view of Faerie, and he manages to add the element of magic and wizardry well enough to be interesting. The characters operate in a world where the rules of humanity (The laws of the US and Illinois) and the rules of the universe (The traditional Faerie courts, for example) are often at odds, and so there is plenty of 'gray area' of legal vs. moral action to flesh out the adventures and give rise to tension.I would recommend the series to lovers of fantasy who also appreciate the old school hard-boiled detective novels (Mike Hammer, anyone?), but would caution that the action is sometimes gory and is probably not intended for younger kids - high school or above would be my suggestion.

SHREDDED

Amazing - I read so many reviews about the paper being torn but I could not believe that it would be so consistent, so given that I could use Amazon prime I still went with this order. It was shredded in the packaging - the packaging was not torn, so it was put in this way. There were about 8 tears that went fairly deep, rendering much of it useless. It's nice paper, so I will still order the brand, but someone is doing something wrong along the way and they need to fix it. On to Adorama or B&H.

If you suffer from insomnia.....

Bearing this book an appealing cover with so many great recommendations from prestigious authors I expected much more for my moneyHunter made the effort but could not conceive a story good enough to reflect the compelling recommendations he has achieved to promote his work.Throughout the chapters I could not find smart twist and turns, bogus elements and other subterfuges that can wake up a sleepy reader. To make it worse, I also found a poor employment of language and the ending did not score to make out for the flabby plot.

Bored Models with Belly Rings! Hurray!

I would love to be able to give this DVD a better rating, but the girls who do the demonstrations are so unenthusiastic that they actually seem angry. Also the instructor, Brad Schoenfeld doesn't actually do the work-out. He spends most of the time watching the girls and talking about their bellyrings instead of focusing on the health benefits of strength training. To say the least, this DVD isn't very motivating and the workout isn't very challenging.Also the beginning "warm-up" session is just ridiculous. You end up watching the girls run in place and jump rope. I don't see why the DVD couldn't guide the viewer through an actual warm-up. That's just lazy!If you're serious about getting toned abs, you'll have to work much harder than the three sets on this DVD. Save your money and buy Tamilee Webb's "I Want That Body."

Black vinyl ~ Not the blue & orange

Anyone who is looking to buy this obviously likes AIC and they know how good Jar of Flies is and and how good Sap is.So I'm not going to talk about the music.I want to make sure everyone is aware that this album is NOT the limited edition color vinyl. Amazon is selling the black vinyl. So you have to ignore the picture which shows the album cover with the yellow "limited edition color vinyl" sticker. And also ignore the "editorial review" which makes reference to the blue and orange vinyl.I wish Amazon would edit this page because it is a bit misleading. When I bought the record, I had a feeling that I would receive the black vinyl....and that is exactly what I got. Its not what I wanted, but it's what they gave me.

We use pizza cutters for everything, especially because we have two little kids who like things in little pieces.

Why are they compared to Good Charlotte?

They can't hold a candle to Good Charlotte. GC actually has some good guitar parts and SOLOS (yes you heard me). SP has none of that. They play slow power chords with sappy lyrics that are copied off of Blink and GC but are not sung with nearly as much emotion. At least Good Charlotte's lyrics are different, this bands lyrics aren't, its all boring love songs that we've heard a billion frickin times... I gave them 2 stars because I like a few songs but thats all. And you know what, all you people need to stop b****ing over whats "punk" and whats "poser". Good Charlotte have said themselves their not trying to be punk, so whats the use in arguing?

Horrible

As mentioned many times, the math questions are extremely out of date.Furthermore, while the vocab in the verbal sections reflects what is actually on the test, the questions are poorly put together, seemingly by an out of work English Grad Student in need of work who was given a list of vocab words and told to make a practice test with them. It's very clear that the same minds writing the actual GRE were not behind these practice tests, as the book's cover suggests.Avoid this one. If you need a test-prep book, I suggest looking at other books with better marks in the reviews section.

Faulty Program

I bought this charger based upon positive reviews, but I have been very disappointed. This charger frequently refuses to charge known good batteries, instead detecting a "open cell" fault. I can charge that same battery with a $25 charger. THEN, this charger will say that the battery is fine and full charged. Most recently, I connected it to each of a pair (one at a time) of BRAND NEW Trojan Deep Cycle batteries that I wanted to top off, as they arrived only 85% charged. Again, this charger refused, detecting that BOTH of these batteries had an open cell fault. My other complaints are the the power cord and charge cords are very stiff, cheap materials, and the operation of the charger is not intuitive. If you want one of these chargers REALLY cheap, I will gladly sell you mine.

Excellent practical guidebook

Mr. Folsom has done a splendid job with his beautiful book on butterfly photography. I have begun to experiment with insect photography and found his book chuck full of practical, useful tips and suggestions. So many photographic books have endless pages on technical details or expound upon the obvious. This beautiful book provides a wonderful blend of photographic pointers along with fascinating information on these marvelous little creatures. Mr. Folsom should be comended for producing such a helpful manual on the fine art of butterfly photography.

Don't waste your money

Not only did every plot device leap out like a signpost shouting "warning! tricky situation ahead" - I felt absolutely no connection to the self-absorbed characters in this ho-hum take on middle age. What some critics call fascinating detail on ordinary life reads to me like mindbendingly dull and ultimately pointless navel gazing -- and that's forgetting the fact that no real person could be as relentlessly self-aware/intuitive as the main character.Ms. Miller asks us to swallow a highly improbable chain of events (ok no biggie here) as well as patently unbelievable reactions to them. One example of many (I won't get into specifics here in deference to those who will not heed my warning) -- ask yourself what competent minister in the world would blow off a killer's confession, to focus on another trivial aspect of the tale entirely, to the exclusion of an innocent's pain? I didn't buy it, and neither should you.

Frictive Thinking Ruins Friction-Free Book

I was very unimpressed with this book. From the factual errors about what particular companies do, to the report of rumour as fact (e.g., the author's suggesting that a legendary story about a guy in Hawaii selling 250,000 to an A-Limerick-A-Day services for $1 a year -- which the author says he doesn't know is true -- proves his theories about the electronic economy), and his repeated references to John Maynard Keynes as *Maynard Keynes*, Lewis repeatedly demonstrated that he didn't know his subject and had not done research. Instead he seems to rely on platitudes dispensed during consulting gigs. The book starts going downhill from the beginning. A definite don't read. I give it a "2" for the attractive cover design, not what's between those covers.

when i'd finished the fist book i knew i'd have to expect alot out of clamp, again. but then again, with most anime manga's, you have to expect alot, and they actually give it. with this book i was a bit more lienient in letting my younger sis read it. i still didn't let her, but i was a bit wore willing. then again she is 14 and it is defenatly an older teens' book.once i started reading it, i couldn't stop. although when anyone starts a book like this you have to set aside a hour or so just to read it. but hey, it is so worth the bit of time needed to read it. out of all of the series i've read, which is quite alot, this has got to be me very faviorte series. then again, when i got about a quarter of the way through the first, i was hooked beond anyone's help. i recogment this entire series, not to mention all of Clamp's work, to anyone 16 or over and with a rather mature nature because of hentai-like qualities.

Needs work

I originally ordered two of these. One works well, took two more tries to get another one that is ok.The one that works has an inaccurate sensor that can be thrown off just by tapping the housing. You can even shut it off by doing this a little harder. Understanding this drawback, it works well and delivers a lot of water into my dry air. I use reverse osmosis water so cleanup is a quick wipedown once a week.Now for the other one. Within 20 minutes after plugging it in it read a constant 20% on the sensor. This I later learned means the unit is overheating. Strange a heating unit "overheating". Got a replacement, it did exactly the same thing. Got another replacement this one seemed to work, but later found it "overheated" after two hours of constant use.This is a good product, WHEN IT WORKS!! Unless you love going through the merchants return processes, I'd avoid this one until they fix this "overheating" problem.

Atmospherically Pleasing

I never had the opportunity to see Sleepy Hollow in theatres but heard great things from a number of my colleagues and friends. When the movie came out on DVD I took notice and rented it. Sufficit to say, I was not disappointed in any way. Burton's interpretation of the Headless Horseman myth was masterful and conveyed the perfect atmosphere for the story. Gory and gothic, there was always a sense of darkness and foreboding during the movie. For those of us who had only the merest passing affiliation with the original myth, much (if not all) of the story was surprising and suspenseful. Personally, though, I think the occasional use of comedy helped to keep the story from becoming too dark in tone, and I really enjoyed this movie. For anyone with an interest in suspense, drama, horror, or even fantasy (much of the movie had a fantasy feel to it), this movie is sure to delight.

Mellow album from Layne Staley

I was totally shocked to hear such wonderfully soft & gracious melodies here - totally lacking in the crunchy guitar work of typical Alice in Chains and/or Pearl Jam albums. Layne Staley's heart was in this album and not the Alice in Chains 'self titled' album of the same year (1995). That AIC album was awful for the most part, while this album shines brilliantly. Mike McCready's guitar work is fluid and seemingly effortless. I don't know, sure some of these tunes are depressing, as only Layne can tell us about, but they are also somehow someway spiritually uplifting. Maybe because Layne is so far down in the dumps that we can't help but look at ourselves and think we are ahead of the game. Best songs are "Xray Mind", "River of Deceit", and "Artifical Red". A wonderful album and a treat to listen to. It is not what you'd expect from the guys making the music (based on the music they've put out previously with their own bands). Wonderful.

Strait talk

I'm right there with Tyler and Scott J. and the other reviewers who did not give this album "the highest of marks". Usually, I like all the songs on George's album, even the ones that are not my particular favorites. But on this album too many of the songs make me want to fast forward to the next song. I feel cheated, not in in terms of money, but in terms of listening pleasure. I'm used to practically wearing out George's albumns, and I will never be able to get into this albumn like I have others such as #7 and Strait from the Heart. There are soooo many great song writers out there, I don't know how George failed to choose a better selection of songs, songs more authentically country and with more meaningful lyrics. I would have to recommend skipping this albumn and waiting for the few good songs on it to turn up on George's next greatest hits recording.Northeast Fan

Stand barely fits

I would not recommend this mobile base. The planer stand barely fits, the legs are 1/2" off of the base. Also there is no way provided to attach the stand to the base. It would seem to me that this base is made for a different application, or the engineer that designed it never attempted to put the stand in the base. At a price of nearly $100.00 I expected a much better fit. Personally I would recommend puchasing a universal base at around $50.00 and making it fit. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because it is well constructed.

Must have been hilarious in its day

I read this book for the first time a few months ago after many years of hearing about it. The prose is good and it is very readable, but it is EXTREMELY dated! The ideas put forth in it are a humorous critique of the state of American religious "politics" several decades ago. Much of the humor has lost its power because the issue and proclivities of religious politics has been transformed in the past 30-40 years. It serves as a snapshot of the past, but it is no longer a funny book. I also found that the author is just a bit snide of his treatment of some denominations and keeps some of his sharpest sarcasm for those groups he seems to dislike personally. I would recommend the book as a period piece for younger people and as a bit of nostalgia for people who remember the often unintentionally funny attitudes of the 1950-1970 era of Mainline American Protestantism.

If you have not purchased this show, DO IT NOW!You will not find a better sci-fi show to watch since Babylon 5. I cannot praise this show enough. If I were the fox executive who decided to cancel this show and then saw all of the DVD reviews on amazon etc.. I would probably have to get aboard a firefly with Mal and crew and escape from the planet.This show has it all: effects, music, fantastic acting, awesome story line, humor, a possible look at the future, and what most good sci-fi has a look at real situations that you can relate to in today's society but set in the future.ack! They cancelled this????Incredible.......

does not play

I received 3 different sets of the "Essential Classics" movies collection as gifts. NONE of them play without skipping sections. I loved the concept of the set which is why I registered for them on my wish list. Truly disappointed in the quality of the product.

Prepare to be Scared!

I purchased "Ghost Hunters: Season Four: Part 2 from Amazon. My sons are big fans of this series and watch it every week on the SCI-Fi CHANNEL. I however am a skeptic and I don't believe in ghosts. The Ghost Hunters Series introduces Roto Rooter Plumbers Jason and Grant who are plumbers by day and real life ghost hunters (TAPS) by night. In every episode, the Ghost Hunters visit places that are supposedly haunted and search for evidence using scientific technology. In the fourth season, they investigate Fort Delaware, a brothel, people's homes, a plantation and the USS Hornet. This DVD also contains several bonus features: Deleted scenes, behind the scenes action and a live roundtable discussion interview. Prepare to be scared and amazed at what TAPs finds.

Disappointed.

I bought 3 of these things thinking that they could solved the ground loop problems that I have through my Home stereo receiver, & they honestly didn't do anything for me @ all. They actually made the ground loop louder, & they also made sound quality FAR worse. These things will thin out your sound & make everything sound completely lackluster. But I give these particular isolators a benefit of a doubt, because maybe I didn't use them the right way. I never turned off the power completely on my stereo, then turn it back on to see if they will work that way so I may have to try that. Maybe I bought the wrong thing for my needs [these may work in your car much better, so I must take notice of that as well]. But for that time I've had them, They have done nothing to improve my issues....

Profoundly Disappointed

For those not well-schooled in the vocabulary and techniques of verse, the book is an exercise in frustration. The author seems more interested in showing how clever he is than actually explaining different poetic forms. I was profoundly disappointed with the book . . . a real waste of money. My advice for the neophyte is, "STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK!" Perhaps its a treasure trove for those with a substantial background in poetry, but for someone relatively new to this art form, I would urge them to buy something else.

A pretty interesting read

It continues after the ending of the Dragon Reborn and goes strong. It's fun to read and keeps me interested. I'm about half-way through and I'm loving the way the characters and their world is developing. I found I could relate to Mat the most out of them all.

This is not 73% off as advertised

This is a wonderful item. However, the banner advertising this item at this site is very misleading. The banner states that this item is being sold for "73% off." In fact, this is a used (reconditioned) unit. It is being offered at full retail price for a reconditioned unit. If this were a new unit, then the claim of "73% off"would be more honest but it is not. In fact, a search of even this site's offerings of the item new reveal that this is 73% off of an MSRP but perhaps only 50% off the available new price.I don't understand why such a good organization feels compelled to intentionally engage in misleading advertising.

A gimmick SACD

If you want to listen these CCR SACD in a multichannel sound, forget it!!! I bought these SACD but the sound is in Stereo. A hybrid stereo SACD. A true gimmick!!!

Killing Floor

Jack Reacher roams from place to place and this time he's come to a small town in Georgia on a whim. He's eating breakfast when the town's finest blow in and arrest him for murder. It's a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a shocker for Jack when he discovers the identity of the guy he's supposed to have killed. People keep dying and it's becoming a blood bath. Jack sticks around to see justice done, but it's a scary ride all the way.

Sprint- Bad Service

Buyer beware... do not buy Sprint. I give them zero stars! I purchased a Treo 600 for metro Atlanta. Basically the service was very bad. I called to cancelled and charged me $112 and change. As a business customer or any customer why am I being changed for poor service. I am not going to speak bad about their customer service because they tried. But they do not understand about business relationships and how to assist the customer. If you intend to buy a phone from them get the least expensive plan first. Then will not loose as much monsy as I did for just 7 days of service.

Cd cover is not misleading. Great Score by Menken

The first reviewer seemed to not know that this was a score only project for Menken. The cover of the cd clearly credits him with the score only. No lyricist is named either. Very upfront.That said, this score is really good. It has Alan Menken's unmistakable style. Very melodic and heartwarming. It was nice to hear a non song score by Mr. Menken. For Anyone that is a fan of Menken, I recommend buying this cd. Underrated score that is absolutely worth the purchase!

Bad code examples and horrible code styles, but good topics. I was hoping to see more on building code modules using structs with function pointers for the interface.

Cord worked for 1 day and then the person on the other end could not hear you. Low quality. I should have read the reviews first.

not impressed

this should be a disposable camera. it's fully made from a cheap plastic, the batteries keep popping out, the flash blows everything out to ghost white, the quality of the photos are similar to those $10 keychain cameras.very crappy. if i had spent $30 more, I could have bought an actual semi-decent camera.

The only Sonnambula!

I love this opera. I have so many Sonnambulas that I lost count including other Callas-performances (Studio, Cologne etc.) and Sutherland, Gruberova ETC. But NOTHING comes close to this magical night when La Scala was still La Scala. Callas' studio-set is marred by a mediocre tenor (Monti) as is Sutherland's first recording. (Also Monti) Sutherland's second recording shows her past her prime, sounding too old, mushy and woolen. Look for a live-Sonnambula with Sutherland. Anyway, Callas and Bernstein made magic here. Sheer magic! Valletti sounds GORGEOUS and creamy as Elvino. The best there is!

This water bottle LEAKS!!

I have huge water stains on my car seat where this water bottle has toppled over while driving with the water seeping/leaking out. In addition, the top can be somewhat difficult to twist open, it does not keep liquid cold for very long and there is has been no elimination of condensation. I would not recommend this item except for the fact that some of the proceeds go to cancer research.

Sansa MP3, beats iPod for sure.

I bought this MP3 player and a new iPod at the same time. I returned the iPod, if that tells you anything. With this MP3 player, you are not tied to iTunes. I wish I had known which protective skin to buy for it because the one I have seems to interfere a bit with the volume roll button, but that's not biggie really. I pretty much use the player with my Rhapsody account and to load favorite songs from CDs. I had no idea how handy I would find the voice recorder. I can pop a message to myself in it while I am driving or working and my life is becoming a bit more organized by using this tool.I also love having a radio feature. In town, reception is great! I can sit by the pool at the gym and listen to my favorite stations. The numerous features in this player take it far ahead of the very popular, however severely limited, iPod.

Formula, formula, formula

Sometimes you can forgive, even appreciate, when Hollywood offers up a formulaic story that offers few surprises. This film isn't one of those instances. Pedantically predictable.

I Used To Love This Book But Now I Think It's Just Too Sad

That's about all I have to say, so this is going to be a sucky review, but why on earth did Katherine Paterson feel compelled to ruin a beautiful story with an ending as sad as this? Such a great novel, absolutely enchanting, imaginative, returned me to my own childhood because there were so many similarities, and then....everything gets ruined. Sometimes the tragedy is not in proportion and it overweighs the accomplishments of the entirety of what came before it. Yes, I know that happens in real life, and yes, I'm not saying it's invalid to do the same thing in literature, but I AM saying that in this case, to end as it did, the darkness here swallowed the light and destroyed a wonderful book.

Don't buy this product.

I have owned and used Craftsman and Milwaukee 1/2 sheet finishing sanders and liked them both. I bought the Makita and sent it back as being unacceptable for the following reasons:1) In order to have the dust collector function, special Makita sand paper must be used or a special hole punching machine must be purchased in order to make the special sand paper required. 2) If standard paper is used, not only does the dust collector not work, but the many dust collecting holes in the pad do not support the paper, resulting in inefficient use of the paper.

I started reading the Stone Barrington series somewhere in the middle and then went back and read every single one. This was the first of the series.

This product really works if you watch your diet and exercise.

I have been on this product for 3 months and have lost 25lbs. This is the first diet plan that has worked for me for years.

I didn't know Sepultura was hardcore.

It's interesting that Hatebreed gets so much for credit not following in the steps of Slipknot or Limp Bizkit, when they now tour with bands like that. Its also interesting in light of the fact that their music is basically identical to any alterna-metal band's, except without what little talent or melody those bands possess. This band has as much to do with hardcore as Sepultura. I thought this was a joke band when I heard it. f you're really interested in hardcore, put down that jug of Weight Gainer 900, turn off your victory sampler CD, and order a Universal Order of Armadgeddon CD immediately. And stop wearing so much adidas, newjack.

We are supernaturally hooked on this series!!!!

My wife and I just finished watching Season 1 and we both really enjoyed the premise of the show, the characters, and the acting. We both enjoy sci-fi and horror movies and this series fits right in with the kind of entertainment we enjoy. Each episode is interesting and well written. We have yet to be bored at all. We just purchased the next four seasons and plan to dive right into Season 2.

Easy to sum up - not particularly well written

While there is a lot of good research in the book, I've read better books on the subject. The author repeats himself endlessly. It's amazing to think this book was whittled down from 600 pages. It could have been whittled down another 150, as the author's final refletions on fat loss can be summed up in a few sentences. He claims to have taken out most autobiographical information to reduce his originally sized book, but his smaller book is still filled with stories about him. There is enough in the book to recommend reading it, but the author, who has a phd, writes so poorly, and has made such poor personal weight loss decisions over the years, it makes you wonder if his conclusions (which I think are correct) are worth following.

Apocalyptic nonsense

This is the sort of loony stuff that apocalyptic Marianists read, and no one else can believe that any sensible person would read under any circumstances. The Catholic tent is a big one, but this stuff is outside the stakes.

Best yet

by far the best EA game yet. I especially like the easy controls and kick - a graphics. the playbook is extremely accurate and detailed. Also the fight songs and cheerleaders were a nice touch. this is an excellent game and worth checking out.
