| excellent, incredible album that stands the test of time | I bought this album when it first came out in the early 1970's and forgot about it for 30 years, until a few weeks ago. It is as fresh and vibrant today as it was back then. The musical arrangements are brilliant, the songs top-notch and it shows that Astrud Gilberto was not just a singer; she was a musician. If you like Lady Gaga then you probably won't like Astrud Gilberto, but if you like Astrud Gilberto, or Brazilian music in general, then check out this album. |

| ISULTING TO JAZZ AND THE SINGERS THAT PIONEERED THIS MUSIC | As I said above an insult to such great singers of this music....Go listen to the real singers such as Tony Bennett, Ella, Sarah, Carmen, Mark Murphy and the likes..Just another get Rod richer release, its like eating fast food no substance.... |

| False advertising | I just watched Scott on SPKE TV and he was completely drunk and probably set a new record for being bleeped for obscenities. This guy is absolutely not a Christian and you should know this before you buy this CD. He is a non-christian who is trying to cash into Christian dollars by faking Christian sounding messages into a heathen lifestyle. If you didn't see it for yourselves, you would not believe the filth that was coming out of this guy's mouth. "By their fruit you shall know them". |

| Improved my score by 50 points in one week alone! | I did the self diagnostic portion of the book and also did one of the practice exams. When I found out the results I spent a week(2 hours a day) reviewing the material and the questions. A week later, my score went up 50 points! If I would had started studying earlier, there is no doubt my score would have been a shocker! |

| MIssing Parts | I wouldn't know if I like this bed or not. I ordered it over a month ago and still don't have it set up. Our son was really looking forward to using his "big boy bed", however it has been a nightmare so far. We received the package, and opened it, finding no hardware or instructions. I called the manufacturer and they said they would sent them to me. Two weeks later we get hardware and instructions and sit again to assemble. We find out we are missing all of the support slats for the bottom. I call the manufacturer again. Three weeks later the slats come, so we sit down again to put it together. So page 3 and 4 are missing from the instructions ... we figure it out. Guess what? There are 2 screws/bolts missing. Still in a crib. |

| What a great cd! | When I purchased this cd, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I wasn't at all disappointed. Rod's voice goes with these classic songs perfectly and the music is extremely soothing and relaxing, while at the same time managing to be both sad and cheery, evoking thoughts of a past era. In the inside of the cd cover, you'll read that Rod has used most of these songs to warm up his voice at concerts for years. He grew up with these songs and has a great love for them, and his passion shows through clearly. While I've always enjoyed Rod Stewart's music, I've never had more respect for his vocal talent than I do now after listing to this cd. |

| good, but not essential | This movie guide covers a lot of ground, unfortunately not very well. While it is better than the first edition (in which Stanley felt compelled to make a bad joke about EVERY SINGLE FILM) and the entries often lack essential information (running time, director, cast), I keep this around because it sometimes lists some REALLY obscure films no one else mentions. If you're an unrepentant movie nut and can find a cheap copy, okay.... |

| Education of a Football Fan | I usually read football books because I like to read about the X's and O's of the sport, but this book was more about the human and business side of the sport. I gained an insight and appreciation for a football coach's life and the struggle to survive in the coaching business. This book "The Education of a Coach" is the story of a coach who did survive and succeded at the highest level of the sport--winning three Super Bowls in 4 years. This book gives more than a biography of the coach's life but it also teaches many usefull life lessons. Who better to learn from than someone who knows what it takes to be successful and a winner. |

| Very Bad, But 2 Stars ForTrying........... | If there's any doubt that rock singers cannot sing the great timeless tunes from the 1920's- 1950's, this CD will erase it. To say that this CD makes a mess of the "Great American Songbook" would be overly kind. Not that Rod ever could sing, but this album is mainly a rather ridiculous joke. Walk into any piano bar in the country, and you'll probably hear much better renditions of these timeless tunes, by some great local performers. Comparing this to Frank, Ella, Nat, Tony,etc. or even current performers like Diana Krall or Harry Connick is ridiculous, to say the least. The only elder statesman big name male pop/folk singer (who I've heard) who does any justice to these tunes is Willie Nelson, though there are a few aging ex-rocker ladies who do a good job...This album is the definitive proof that bad rock, and bad rock singers, simply cannot touch the greats of yesteryear! |

| So glad this finally came out... | I LOVED Daria from the very first episode, and always wished that MTV would release a box set of the entire series. I was really glad that I stumbled across this on Amazon. The only thing that I *don't* love is that due to royalties, I think, some of the background music has changed. There's a note explaining this in the case. In most cases, I don't even miss the songs that had been used in the series, but when the joke is about the music playing, it's a little noticeable. The only example I can think of is that in one episode, they are waiting in traffic and they're spoofing the "Everybody Hurts" video, but some generic music is playing. Other than that instance, however, it's not really a big deal. If you love (and miss) Daria, you'll enjoy this. |

| ... er, something's ... not quite ... right here! | sorry to be a party pooper but Rod Stewart just CAN'T sing "These Foolish Things"...and to think this album is called "The Great American Songbook" sure doesn't do justice to the "great American singers" who made them popular! Gad, even the Beatles didn't try to emulate them...and they could sing anything...it just sounds too much like 'gotta make a buck' on anybody's back...and it's bad taste...ugh...too much of a ... muchness, tacky... Give me "Susie Arioli" and her swing band for oldies like these any day, she's got the right idea!......I don't think she could so ruin a beautiful classic that we all know and love. |

| Amazing show | Since I first starting watching Daria on MTV, I have always loved this show, and was sooo excited when I got the email about it coming to dvd!I received this product in the mail nicely and securely wrapped, with my free tshirt nestled right with it. The dvd case is sturdy and thick, so there's less of a chance of me walking over the box and crushing the contents. Upon opening the box, each dvd is snapped in securely, clearly labelled as to what season each contains. I've tested out all of the dvds in the package, and they all play very well.Of course because I love this show so much, I will obviously recommend to this product to any fan of Daria. The money is well spent, to have the series in its entirety all together, ready to watch. |

| Pretty good, but not exactly what I expected | Take off your pants and jacket was REALLY good. The songs were fun and enjoyable to listen to. Though, I think there has been a small change in the type of music Blink has done since their other C.D, Enema of the State. Otherwise it was really good. The one thing i'm glad about is that Mark hoppus sung more of the songs. The bonus tracks were dumb but very amusing! I can gurantee anyone would like this CD. |

| What we need right now | I recently bought this album and I LOVE IT. We are living in difficult times and I often feel tense and worried. The first time I listened to it I realized that this was exactly the kind of album we NEED right now....I love Rod's husky, sincere, distinctive voice. I've seen him live in concert many years ago and he is just as great or even better now. Buy it...You won't be sorry. |

| Daria rocks | I got a huge kick out of this video. The show is funny, wry and clever. I did not follow the show in its original run, nor am I at all in the original target demographic, but i still enjoyed it. It is slightly cynical and jaded but without the mean spirited tone of so many of the reality tv shows airing now. Interestingly, the one "flaw" cited by other reviewers did not bother me. Many mentioned the lack of music from the show as a minus. Since i did not see the originals, this did not seem to be a problem. I only wish there were more Daria videos to buy. |

| The victory wouldn't have come so easy | The first three quarters of this book seems entirely plausible, but the last part is a bit far fetched. At one point the Russian officers in each AO are complaining about supplies. Firstly, after the initial Soviet thrust they could forget about getting any more supplies. NATO would have pounded their staging areas, denying them eqpt & ammo followed by a counterattack from south to Northeast, cutting them off a la the Demyansk pocket or Stalingrad, writ large. The second reason is we're talking about GERMANS, people with a propensity to fight until the last shell. Although geographically impossible, the story would have been much more believable had the USSR invaded France |

| Really good, but slightly over-rated | This is of course a great CD. But there are a couple of U2 CD's I like better. This is often considered "THE" U2 CD of all times, and I disagree. If I had to pick "THE" U2 CD of all times, I'd pick War. |

| Love lost and found | Love is lost and then found in an unexpected place in this movie. I have loved this Danielle Steel movie from the first time I saw it. John Ritter and Polly Draper are exceptional in this story. As a happily married career women whose husband walks out after she refuses to abort their baby, Polly Draper plays the character of Adrienne just right, not to weepy but strong enough to stand on her own decision and go on with life. John Ritter's character comes into her life and as the loving father of two sons from a previous marriage he knows exactly how to win her over and become the husband she deserves and the father her baby needs. |

| So bad, it's good. | After hearing about it from other sources of the internet, I bought this stinker of a movie.... And I do not regret buying it. Why?It's a poorly made movie, filled with lots of unnecessary scenes, characters, and transitions. The plot is so terribly executed,it's basically a 'rewind' movie. The characters are very flawed. And I don't need to say that Wiseau is maybe the worst actor ever in American cinema or in all of cinema.Yet, I like to watch it. Why?Because it makes me think I can act better than Wiseau. To me, it's the necessary "101 On How To Not Make A Good Movie". There are some many lines I can remember by heart and formulas that I can easily rip apart.Is it a bad movie?Yes.But the expense of watching something bad can make us enjoy it sometime. It makes us wish we weren't them. It's Schadenfreude for me. |

| Don't buy the Kindle version | I have no problem with the content with this book but the Kindle version is horrible. The type looks like it was scanned in by an inferior scanner. Parts of many of the letters are missing, making it difficult to read. The illustrations are almost impossible to comprehend. I would request a refund but I don't have time right now to wait for a printed version. |

| Sell out | After "Tip Drill" came out on the remix album, I thought, "man, Nelly is getting back to the street." Great song, dirty, stuff your kid sister should never hear.Fast forward to today and Sweat/Suit is out. Total crap. Nelly sold out to make $$. Pick up T.I's latest for real street rap. |

| This CD Really Sucks........ | Papa Roach is really just part of the rock/rap/metal trend that has been popularized by such bands as Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Crazytown, and many others. This CD was really bad. Most of the songs were really bad and really disappointing. I bought the CD after I heard "Last Resort" on MTV, and I thought that the rest of the CD might be worth a try. Boy, I'm really glad that I bought this CD on sale.....Don't waste your time or your money on this cd...it's just like all those other trendy poser rock/rap bands. |

| Quiet and Cool | This is my favorite fan I've ever bought because it actually works. I keep it on the low mode to sleep and the room is quiet and cool. I have two floors, with the top one getting really hot, but when I stuff this thing at the bottom of the stairs and syphon the air up, its actually cooler. I would easily get a second one! Highly recommended. |

| Nicely Laid Out and Easy to Use. Useful Maps | It's light and compact and has some useful maps. We used the hotel suggestions but in most cases the ratings were off, if it says 3 stars assume 1.5-2 stars. Take ear plugs. Almost all of the hotels were in noisy areas. Many of the suggested eating places were also off the mark. Extensive menus would be met with three or four options available. The guides to sights and towns to visit were very good. We used the walking tours and maps to navigate through the country quite comfortably. Assume you'll be ripped off by every taxi driver and you'll be ok. It's still very inexpensive to travel in Tunisia. And this book is very handy to have along for the ride. |

| Complete Trash | I am a huge horror fan, so it was with great joy that I picked up every film in the Afterdark Horrorfest line,andsettled in for a long night of what I hoped would be blood and scares galore.Some of the films were better than others, as I expected, but what I didn't expect was the total trash that wasLake Dead.Every single character in the movie was completely unlikeable. By the time it was three quarters of the waythrough, I was actually rooting for the killer. I even yelled at my TV screen to "kill these jerks already!"Don't bother with this movie. IT SUCKS! |

| This concert is TERRIBLE | Good Grief I can't believe this poorly done, badly sung concert!!And now they're trying to sell the DVD!! I watched it on TV and switched the channel after the first hour. I was actually happy to have the PBS Pledge Breaks. Josh Groban is a singer, making money off his trade. He's a performer and we're the customers. Whether I want to buy it or not is my decision, but this is the place for REVIEWS and I'm chiming in with mine. Josh Groban's "Greek" concert is TERRIBLE. The man is nasaly, warbly, strained and looks like a bum. PERIOD. Would I buy it? Absolutely not. Would I come here and make excuses because I like him? Ditto. He may be a nice guy but that's pretty easy to do when you're a very, very rich guy. What I expect is someone who actually can sing through a concert and that is what I would buy, not this mess. I need my money more than Groban does and I work harder for $20 than Groban. As a matter of fact, he's not even trying here. |

| Oh GAWD... | This is the best lil wayne CD, Get outta here this is the worst CD in Cash Money Records what was he trying to do, and then calling his title 500 degreez? I dont know what he was trying to do with this album trying something new but it obviously didnt work. Overly done bass and awkward beats with weak choruses. This CD is full of non-Cash Money cameo appearances and Lil Wayne rarely rapped. Cop any other Cash Money Record cd, but this. The Block is Hot is Lil Wayne's best CD. What was lil wayne thinking. |

| Most disappointing | I was really impressed by the song Remember in the movie Troy. So when I saw this dvd/cd with it, I quickly bought it even though what I wanted was the studio recording of Troy. I figured that a live version can't be that bad as Josh has a gorgeous voice. After just one play, I returned it to the store and changed it for something else. Josh sounds really nasal here. Perhaps he had the flu? Then they should have postponed the recording. I cannot sit through this concert without comparing it to the previous which wasexcellent. Josh, back to basics please. |

| Wrist helper | This is an awesome gel pad. I always "knew" that optical could work without a pad but this pad is great. I replaced a home fashioned wrist pad with this and I could immediately tell the difference.The gel feels great and actually cushions your hand while you use the mouse on the pad. The pad isn't incredibly small, nor large, but it is "perfect" if you know how to use a mouse without moving it all over the place. |

| Best find yet | I didn't purchase it here on Amazon but I have to say this is a great product. It is not for the faint of heart. I have very sensitive skin. I was only able to leave it on for probably less than 30 seconds the first time, the second time putting it on, I could only handle a minute BUT the difference was noticeable the 2nd time. If you can handle the tingling/burning sensation, it really is worth it. I make sure to start with the forehead, then to my chin, upper lip, then my checks as that is the most sensitive for me. There isn't another product like this for such a great price. |

| Not worth the money - difficult to use | I bought this expensive vacuum and it is very diffucult to use. You must have the vacuum higher than the pond and the exhaust hose is too short. I don't want the exhaust water to drain back into the pond so the hose could be longer. It would be nice to have a standard hose size so you could possibley extend it by adding your shop vac hose to it but it does not fit. Also, the exhaust hose keeps coming off the vacuum because there is no lock clamp makes a for a nice huge puddle where you don't want it. Don't waste your money. |

| get what you pay for | I really like no-frills keyboards, without the many uneeded buttons across the top, so I picked this black Belkin keyboard for it's simplicity. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! Like other reviews, the wake, sleep, and power buttons are placed up where the scroll lock usually is, and are very easy to bump when reaching for a pencil for example, instantly shutting down your computer! Most annoyingly though, certain key combinations create 'ghost keys' - random letters appearing - usually when typing fast. I could go on and on... just don't buy this. |

| Awful | Now that I've looked through all the reviews for this CD player, I'd like to kick myself in the pants. I wish there was a "no stars" button. I bought it because it's cute, sleek and easy to carry around the house with me. When I finally received it, I was thrilled with the appearance, but when I went to try it out the CDs wouldn't play. I tried several different Cds and it whirrs them around for about a minute and then gives an error message. Now I get to go through the hassle of returning it and claiming a refund. DO NOT buy this product, spend a little more cash and get something that will actually work! |

| Broken box | This was to have arrived as a new product, but the cover box is broken and one of the plastic pieces holding a dvd is broken. This was purchased for my son who is a huge fan of Doctor Who, and he is pleased with the series, just not with the casing. He really should get it replaced with one that is not damaged. |

| An old book written in the early 20th century. A sweet love story. | I enjoy Grace S. Richmond's books. This one was very interesting. It is a love story that was slow to develop.

| It left me speechless | I used to listen to Creed and always likes Scott Stapp because whenever something knocks him down he dusts himself off and gets right back up. There is no doubt that he has had some rough times especially with the breakup of Creed. But not only did he get through that, he made some inspiring music that could help other people. This whole cd is beautiful, the song "broken" is my favorite because it relates to things i've personally gone through. Scott, if you ever read this stuff, I just want to say thanks. |

| So much smut that it's worse than "not for children's eyes"s | Jeers to papa roach for being a major unoriginal and copying bunch of untalented failing rip-off artists. That's the only artist they are: ripoff artists. Everything they do has been done a zillion times before. In their music, only if you have an extremely open mind could you call it that, they lift parts of songs off of bands from the 70s 80s and 90s. Even the 40s 50s and 60s if they had metal-rap crap back then. For originality check out never-before-done ideas like nsync or lfo or 98 degrees. Ya, thats right 'cause I'm a total nerd. N'yuk N'yuk. |

| Possibly THE Greatest American Artist Ever | Has anyone been as innovative and intelligent about the music they produce then Rod Stewart throughout his career. From the explosive originality of "If you want my Body" to the absolutely brillant American Song Book Rod Stewart proves again why he is the Quintessential American artist. Without his influences on generations of arists around the world would music be as good as it has become? I can't recomend this album enough. . . BUY IT RIGHT NOW!

| He's a madman with a box and obsessed with Amy's crack... | A wonderful start to another Doctor.Could have been better, but it was excellent acting and fun situations. Writing started of very well and slid backwards toward the end (aside from the awful Dalek Story) when the show became more like the past few series. Steven Moffatt's abilities were stuck more on strong situations and a little less on logic of the stories. The acting and characters were warm and welcoming. Smith's Doctor was an old man in a younger body and came off as someone that is more like Doctors prior to 1980.If this is a progressive step, the next years could be the best since Tom baker left the series. Let's hope so. |

| Did not work for me | Great idea but does not work. The arms that hold the bottles stretch out after about 10 ueses and will no longer hold the bottles. When I called the manufacturere they acted like no one had ever complained about this and it must be the way I am using it. Yes I took the bottle out to use it and that was all it took. I next went to a spice stacking drawer that Amazon also sells and it works great. It fits in the cabinet perfectly. If I had more drawer space I might like the ones that fit in the drawer - simple and easy to see. |

| Ruby, Ruby, Ruby | Ruby is the last of 5 duck eggs to hatch. All of her brothers and sisters do everything when they are expected to, but not Ruby. It is a great book to illustrate to children that just because you can't do something as well or at the same time as your friends, you are not stupid, you won't ever be able to do it. Everyone develops at their own pace, your time will come to show everyone what you can do, it just might not be right now. |

| A Textbook | Although this book is undeniably thoroughly researched, I must agree with some of the other reviewers on here in that this a dry, dull overview of what was a fascinating time. By the end of the book you will have very little idea of what life was like, on a personal level, for people living during these days. Having grown up with grandparents who were young adults during the 30s, I can categorically state that there are many fascinating tales to tell of these decades - this book provides none of them, and most frustrating of all provides no material not readily available elsewhere. |

| Cheap Read | I looked forward to reading this book, especially given David Halterstam's track record of in-depth exploration of his subjects. I am interested in football, coaching, success, and ways to motivate and educate. Unfortunately, this book falls short of the mark. It reads more like a fan's guide to a coach's family background than it does an examination of Bill Belichick's unique methods of achieving victories on the football field. Indeed, Belichick's apparent limitations in the personality/charisma department would seem to lend themselves to detailed exploration of how he has done what he's done with the New England Patriots. But if that's what you're looking for, you'll have to wait for another author to take up this subject. Halberstam's work disappoints. |

| Heaven on your plate!!!! | Nancy is a genius! This is the most outstanding low-carb-cookbook available! The recipes are easy, delicious, and you will ask yourself "THIS is diet food?". Everything for these recipes are at my local discount grocery store, so I don't have to hunt around and spend a fortune at upscale stores. Nancy has sauces, desserts, breads, soups, appetizers.....anything you could imagine and many can be made in advance to save time during the busy work week. Nancy truly has a gift for making all of my favorite foods into low-carb recipes. I have tried so many of the other low-carb recipes from other cookbooks and NOTHING COMPARES to Nancy's recipes. We have even served these meals to our friends and family who aren't on Low-Carb diets, and they think they are dining at a gourmet restaurant! If there was a 10 star selection, this book would get it. I can't wait for the next one, Nancy! You will love this book! |

| A dip in quality but still good | I have loved The Guild since season 1, delighting in the way the series demonstrates a love for the misfits who can find meaning online. Unfortunately, as the budget has improved, the show has added high-quality guest stars like Wil Wheaton and Simon Helberg. This only emphasizes the low level of talent in some of the original cast, most notably Robin Thorsen. Her lines are still wonderfully funny, but her delivery still sounds like she has to pause to remember her line, then spit it out as fast as she can before she forgets, then giggle and roll her eyes and wait her turn to go again. The character is still great for moving the drama, but if the show is going to keep improving along the trend of its popularity and budget, the writer needs to start applying some of the obvious talent toward finding a way to address an actress who is loveable but out of her league. Overall, another great season for this show and well worth the investment of time and money. |

| A horrible abortion of a song. | I was searching for this so that a friend of mine can understand my disgust for the remake.Those of you saying it's true to the original are either shills, sarcastic, or idiots.The tone is wrong, the temp is wrong, the emotion is wrong. I doubt these girls have the slightest idea what the song is about. I suspect that they're singing it phonetically and have no idea what they're saying.If you want to inflict unbearable pain on a smiths fan, make them listen to this... Otherwise, stay far away. |

| Rod Stewart is a guy?!! | I grew up in the forties, and heard a lot of big band music, but I never heard of Rod Stewart. So one day I hear "Just the way you look" on this commercial on TV. It sounds like Annette Palmer, this girl I used to know who liked to sing in one of the lounges I used to go to. But the wife tells me this is someone named Rod Stewart. I go to Best Buy and start looking through female vocalists. After an hour, I'm getting nowhere, so I ask the clerk about a female jazz singer by the name of 'Rod Stewart' and he takes me over to where all the CD's are. Rod Stewart turns out to be some guy! What do you know about that? |

| This is an insult to heavy metal | This album is, as I have noted above, an insult to heavy metal. Papa Roach is your typical rap metal band. They are what I, and the rest of the legitimate metal community, refer to as posers. They act hardcore, but in reality are not hardcore at all. I would have to say the worst song on here is "Broken Home." Like all (c)Rap metal songs it talks about how the persons life [is awful] and wahh wahh wahh. Another song on this album that [I don't like]... is "Last Resort." What made everyone think it was so great, If I wanna hear some second rate little fairy whining about suicide I'll listen to those posers KoRn. In reference to agentboy's review: if this is the best CD you own, I pitty you. I wish people would stop buying ...[CD's] like Papa Roach and Korn so (c)Rap Metal would die out. |

| Not the best dvd set | I loved watching Daria on MTV and was excited when the series was available for purchase. Getting a t shirt with the dvd set was an added bonus and I loved that it had a saying from the first episode printed on it. I was disappointed that the dvds do not display the titles of each episode. You only know what episodes are on each dvd after you put the dvd in and go to main menu. Most t.v. dvd sets like The Simpsons or Family Guy feature the title and brief summary of each episode in a booklet or on the back of the dvd container. The Daria set does not. Also there is a techincal error on my last dvd where the screen is black and it sounds like a scene from a movie was recorded on it but that lasts about 30 seconds. I love Daria but I think more thought could've gone into a better quality dvd set for the show's longtime fans. |

| A Lifesaver! | My friends and I all swore by this book during our studying. It's nice and to-the-point. It's easy to get through and the questions are very good practice. All of us have used this book and we've all passed. None of the other NCLEX books we invested in were near as good a help as this one. Definitely worth the money, I'll be recommending this one to every nursing student I know! |

| The kapok treet | Excellent book to teach children about the tropical rain forest flora and fauna,the causes of deforestation and it's effects on climate.My son loved reading it.moreover he learnt names of so many animals that he had never heard of previously. |

| Enthralling | I enjoyed every minute of this video. It had plenty of action without silly consequences for the characters decisions. I felt as if I was part of the story and the time flew by. I would have liked to see more. Any chance of a sequel to see how Mauel did with the glass factory? |

| Who Designed this stupid sleeping bag? | This sleeper that claims to be a big double sleeping bag is actually smaller than 2 sleeping bags put together. is that a double bag? then to top it off it only has a zipper on one side. now this is a thick sleeping bag, but if you get hot and can't open the zipper it is a nightmare. also if you get claustrophobic (spelling error!) you can't sleep on the inside, and my pregnant wife needs to be able to get in from the side. we wanted to return it, but spending $35 to send it back defeats the purpose when we only paid 87 dollars for it in the first place. if the other stuff isn't enough the bag that comes with it is at least 6 inches smaller than it should be. you should be able to get it in and then use the compression straps. we had enought trouble getting it in the dang bag. needless to say we are looking for another bag that at least has zippers on both sides! |

| This CD is something that will be forgotten very quickly - | During the course of the eightees and nineties, Rod Stewart somehow became the entertainer/pop star who kept making a lot of money by pandering to baby boomers who are so gullible, they'll buy anything.This CD is nothing more than an attempt to revive a waning career. Since the members of his earlier audience are a lot less interested in hearing Stewart warble pop tunes, some A&R guy apparently decided the same audience could be milked in a different way.The only problem is, Stewart has no vocal presence. The only thing I'd be able to compare this CD to is if someone got hold of a digital copy of "Casablanca" and morphed Pauly Shore into Humphrey Bogart's persona.It's not that I don't like Pauly Shore; It's just that Pauly Shore standing in for Bogart would be too much of a stretch. Using Stewart to sing these standards is way too much of a stretch.Some things are better left alone. This CD is a very good example of that. |

| Metrinch sockets are the worlds best | The metrinch sockets are the worlds vary best. ive used them for 25 years they do everything stated remove rounded off nuts ect, the sockets are the best ,the rachets and the open end on the wrenches not so much. if you ever use metrinch sockets you will never want to use C.M. or S.K. or S.O. ever again.the metrinch sockets design is best i dont know why the other makers dont buy in and pick up the metrinch sockets design.You will never slip and bust your knuckle with a metrinch socket. ive had friends call saying i cant get a rounded off or rusted nut or bolt off .my metrinch easyly removes the nut and they want a set,everyone ive given a set to has loved them too.if you buy a set you will be so glad you did .and wonder why did i ever work without them.you can have my metrinch sockets when im dead. |

| Absolutely Fabulous | This is probably the best historical novel (or series, as there are seven of them) ever written. Entrancing, vicious, beuatiful, innocent, short-sighted people get caught in this story of fate and destruction. Great, thumbs up! |

| Not compatible with Windows Vista | This is not compatible with Windows Vista (which was released by Microsoft in 2006). The box clearly states that Windows Vista is not one of the compatible operating systems for the device. I had a buddy of mine (a software engineer) fiddle with it and try every which way to force it to work, but couldn't. Incompatibility with Windows Vista is a huge deal, and the seller should put that on the product info page (they did not).The redeeming quality of this device is that, had it worked, installation is a cinch. Just plug and go. |

| poorly thought out | It kept along the story line of the 2 previous versions but christ it was set in Antartica and they were having day and night events like they were in Nebraska. Antartica for the most part is either daylight or night for months on end. When directors/producers do not even consider simple things like that it just makes a movie like this idiotic. |

| It's not the best out of Rance. | Although I am a Rance Allen fan, I think he's had previous recordings that top this one. The biggest disappointment was he sang a Pentecostal Ambassador hit, "Hold On," and had the original lead vocalist of the song, Elder Donald L. Golder of the Pentecostal Ambassadors, singing in the background. I didn't hear Elder Allen at any time share the lead with Elder Golder. My personal opinion, that was terribly inappropriate. He even used Elder Golder's church choir in the background. Nevertheless, I suppose we can still enjoy the soulful sounds of Elder Rance Allen. |

| What a Pity! | Malika and her family went through a truly horrendous ordeal. Too bad for the interested reader that this book does not do the horror, injustice, and the family's strength and determination justice! "Stolen Lives" is a vapid, childish attempt to elicit tears from sentimental and superficially activist American women. It's so easy to imagine this story as a starting point for an interesting account of the social and political environment in Morocco. Where are the intelligent editors who can take a fascinating personal story and turn it into a book that can provide the reader with a thought-provoking learning process instead of a late-night tear-jerker? |

| It's an ok product | I have adult acne and I was using this product as directed once every week, but it wasn't doing much so I decided to start using it as a spot treatment and it's working much better that way. I don't have cystic acne anymore, I just seem to get the hormonal acne around my chin and jaw line. I just put a dot on every pimple I have after I wash my face. Then I wash it off after 5 minutes and then put on an oil free moisturizer. It's been working ok, dries out my pimples but they're still pretty red. I get scaring from my pimples (hyperpigmentation) and I've been using the glycolic acid 35% on the dark spots as a spot treatment as well. They're both definitely better than just using face wash and 2.5% SA or BP spot treatments that you can get at the store so I'm happy with it. |

| Worst film ever made but funny | Terrible movie, but funny cause it's so bad. If you like watching bad movies, this might be for you. If not, stay away from it. Even people that like bad movies might want to think twice before purchasing. Look up clips on another site before purchasing. If there were awards for worst ____, this would win them all. Worst director, worst actor, worst screen writer. |

| Good Bang for the Buck | The setup is a pain since you have to pull the network cord and then pull the power, this is done a few times to set up the wired and then the wireless sections but for the money it's not too bad. There is monitoring software that needs to be installed with it and have it run in the background all the time, this needs to be installed on all the machines that are going to use it. Also, you need to have the driver for the printer(s) installed on each PC before installing the software to connect to the print server. |

| Excellent advice on debt-proofing your marriage | I downloaded this audio CD to my MP3, and have listened to several times over on walks. She comes across as a little old-fashioned, and her voice drove me crazy the first time I listened, but generally very good, sound advice. Much of her material is consistent with Dave Ramsey (except she advises that you keep one credit card. No thanks). For a full review on her book, read the online reviews for the hardcover and paperback versions. |

| Not impressed | I bought this thinking it would be a cheaper version of a Dyson. Guess I have to take the plunge and buy the real thing!After attaching the hose clip and inserting the telescopic handle, I did a quick pass on my living room carpet with my 10-year-old Hoover that I bought for $60 new. I didn't even change the almost full filter bag first. Then I vacuumed with the Infinity. It did get some more carpet fiber and pet hair out of the carpet, but not a significant amount. From what I have read about the Dyson, people are truly impressed and couldn't believe their carpets were that dirty. This was definitely not the case with the Infinity.With 3 kids under six, and 4 cats, I really think it should have found a lot more dirt than it did. |

| Works like a charm | I love not having to have my laptop plugged into my printer for a print job. This does the trick. Currently it's hooked up to a DLink router but I am curious if the connections would have been easier with a Linksys router. Also - I had to have my roommate hook this up via this PC as Linksys does not support Mac BUT I was still able to connect regardless and print wirelessly. |

| Great conversation starter! | This is a neat book. It's a foldout time-line poster that's over 10 feet long. It was first published in the 1890's, and has been updated to the 20th century.On the top is Biblical history, complete with references to the Bible book of Daniel with its stunning prophecies. It continues with Christendom history and major events.The rest of it compares Biblical, then Christendom, history with secular history.A very interesting, complex book to say the least! |

| Brain doc/author played Joshua Tree to now-musical daughter | Had to tell this story because it demonstrates the importance of exposure to sounds and GOOD music even in-utero. I study the brain and how to optimize brain function. When my wife carried my daughter we were playing Joshua Tree incessantly in our apartment in Baltimore. My daughter is now 12 and a very accomplished singer and budding young actress. She has a very innate sense of rhythm that I wonder if is in-part due to this very early exposure. Unborn infants do respond to sounds. That has been proven. She even says the music on the album seems strangely soothing and "familiar" to her. No scientific proof I admit, but an interesting speculation at worst...All the best to Bono, Larry, Adam, and Edge!...Kenneth Giuffre MD, Author of "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" |

| Excellent book on memory use for any programmer | This book was recommended to me by a colleague at work; I'm really glad I listened to his recommendation. While I've been programming in C/C++ since 1990 (other languages for two decades before then) I found the concepts/ideas put forward in this book to be very useful in improving my memory use habits. No matter how well you think you know memory management, you can learn something from this book. I only omit one star because some of the examples were not as clear as they could have been. |

| Perhaps they'd like some cheese with that whine...... | My brother bought this cd and has played it in my car a few times and i've ome to realize that papa roach is one of the worst "new wave" "rapcore" bands come out lately. Their lyrics are contrived, cliche, and stereotypical for this type of music, and their guitarist is enbarrasingly bad. If you want teen angst go for a band with musical talent like stabbing westward, or nine inch nails, but this is one of the worst cookie-cutter albums i've seen engineered to be popular in a long time, at least since the Backstreet Boys latest effort. |

| A Triumph for Daria Fans | Finally, after so many years of waiting, Daria has been released on DVD. My greatest concern, however, was how the updated music would compare. In all honesty, to a die-hard fan, the difference is noticeable. One of the great things about the show was the soundtrack; however, the wit and intelligence of the script makes you forget. The music feels appropriate and does not detract from the story. The quality is great as well(compared to watching it on TV). All in all, I am thrilled with the release and would recommend it to everyone. |

| nelly should be murdered | you know im really really sick and tired of this guy. hes is one of the people we gotta clean out of hip hop and is one of the reasons hip hop is dead. whenever i see this guy i wanna take a sledgehammer and bash his face in. same crap hes been talking about since nellyville. hoes, money, cars, jewels. same stuff over and over and over im fed up with pop music like this guy puts out. Him, Chingy, young buck, lloyd banks, and 50 cent should be removed from the rap game. all these rappers talk about is the same things over and over again and the only reason these people sell is because of there looks. and whos buying these albums you say? women. dont you know the population of men to women is 1:4. yea way more women in this world than men. Stop this music before its too late. Listen to what KRS ONe had to say about this F@G |

| Great songs, but not the right voice for them! | Being someone who grew up through rock, disco, R&B;, etc., I have always been madly in love with the great American standards from the past; however, these great songs require the kind of vocal prowess needed to truly interpret them (think of Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, Doris Day, Jo Stafford, Vic Damone, Perry Como, Steve and Eydie, and so on).Unfortunately, there are singers who should stay far away from this material. The song selection and arrangements on this CD are fine, but Rod Stewart's somewhat raspy voice does not do these songs the kind of justice they deserve. |

| There's a reason why punk died...it was terrible | I laugh every time I hear people proclaim this or that band as "punk". That ... music died a long time ago and people still want to milk it. Punk was about bad playing, bad singing, and statement making. The statement made was "We Suck". And just as so called "punk" bands before them the Hives fit that statement. The singing, if you can call it that is god aweful. The musicianship is non-existant. The length of the cd should tell you about the song craft. The amazing thing is that people are eating this ... up. So if you like garbage than by all means buy this. If you insist on proclaiming punk your music taste at least listen to the source like The Ramones, The Clash,..etc. |

| dynamite third album | At first listens, agreed with the critics it may not be their finest, but multiple listens starting to reveal pure gold, and if not their best, then simply a brilliant third album reflecting interesting evolution and great use of new sounds and styles. References to Smiths/Morissey on point, particularly the uncannily aping Australia (and a fine pop song too). English pop fiends will go nuts over Turn on Me, a brilliant Mersey-ish pop gem with an awesome Wedding Present-style guitar solo (and I never really found out exactly what this Merseybeat stuff is.) I hear the Cure in Spilt Needles. I'm noting younger fans seeming to go immediately for the more ethereal stuff of Sea Legs, Red Rabbits (great songs), while us older pop maniacs (Mercer is my age) still go straight to his astounding ability to craft the perfect pop melody. A great album with lots on there for everybody. |
