Name: Bob Title: Update of an inadequate text I have not read this edition of Dr. Kent's book, but as a former student of Dr. Kent's, I was forced to buy his text when I took his comparative anatomy course. At the time, I found it a difficult read of marginal usefulness. When he left Louisiana State, a different, far better text was introduced. If this is merely an update of that volume, I echo others who recommend other sources. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: My balls are all rough and scratched. These are some low quality balls. Mine are somewhat pitted and rough feeling. Too, I wish I could find a pair without the chimes. I don't really get the whole jingle balls thing.OTOH, I'm betting that unless you buy metal balls that they're all about this same low quality. I wonder what they're made of? Think they're toxic? I had no intention of doing so, but I won't be putting these in my mouth. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: arrived damaged These arrived damaged due to poor (lack of) packaging from the manufacturer so I never got to try them out. Both post were damaged on the ends and from what I could tell it was all MDF no real wood to be found. I did get to look them over and the finish looked pretty good and they probably would have been acceptable if it weren't for the poor packaging. Only option was to return them. Do I risk ordering another pair knowing about packaging issue..no so the searched continued.I found these searching onlineDR Pro DRPRO SMS1BK Wood Studio Monitor Stand (Pair) BLACKand picked them up locally at guitar center on sale at 79.99. They are really very nice and very sturdy. They were packed really well like someone cares to get them to you undamaged so I think you could order them online and expect them to arrive in good shape. The top plate is 8" wide by 9" deep. I did have to square up the ends of the post a little with a sander so they would sit level. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Insidious and Dangerous This text is required for a course in Cross Cultural Counseling for a Masters Program at NYU. I find it deeply disturbing that a book filled with stereotypes of all races, ethnicities and cultures is being used to allegedly foster a deeper consideration of culture in counseling situations. The only positive thing I can say is that it is equally offensive to everyone - no race or culture is spared. The "culturally incompetent white counselor", the "powerless" african american, the "family-oriented (and always late) Puerto Rican, the "confused" multiracial, the "collectivist" Asian American... the list goes on and on. Many of the studies cited are dated, while others are recitations of other work done by - you guessed it - Sue and Sue. I urge anyone who is required to use this textbook to challenge their professors - it may lead to some productive dialogue about race, ethnicity, culture and counseling. Otherwise, this text is an insulting waste of time. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: I love it (so far..) I got this product in two days from amazon, with free super saver shipping. Worked straight off the box, easy directions with street names spoken clearly.It came with 2008 maps, during product registration a link was provided to the updated 2009 maps. Downloading, extracting and installing the 1.92 GB datafile took nearly 2 hours over an 8Mbps connection with a powerful desktop. So be prepared to spend some time doing this.Cons: The product looks flimsy, the suction mount could be better designed. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Proof Positive: Music Still Exists We all know TV is finished. Hollywood is now doing its best to end the movie industry, and after 'Jack' and the gang are gone, what will be left of it anyway? Rap, being the new gold standard for music is a sadness beyond reproach. The Brian Setzer's of this world are like a vaccine to a dying world... problems is, billions are dying and there are but a few musicians who understand the term 'music'. All my old faves in the 'rock' business somehow all lost their touch after 1985, and while I still support them, it is out of blind faith mostly, not so with Setzer. Anyway, the playing on this, the song selection, and sound are absolutely superb. The BSO is an aquired taste of sorts but is still a lot of fun once you finally get it.

Name: Bob Title: 3 stars average rating, really?? Just a terrible movie. Quite possibly the worst Uma Thurman has been involved in. Rating it on its own merits, it's not that bad of a movie-- just kind of silly and dumb and totally forgettable. Comparing it to the Peel-era shows is what makes this very hard to watch. First of all, Uma Thurman looks nothing like Diana Rigg. Jessica Biel would make a much better Emma Peel. Secondly, this is set in modern day. So much of Peel's persona has to do with how she twirls her flip or wearing those white gloves. Without that hair and clothing goes much of the essence of Emma Peel. Sealing the tomb is a barrage of crappo CGI which makes the whole thing look like the graphics on a fast food cup set to motion. For a dumb film of a similar flavor which actually succeeds at being a comedy, just rent "Austin Powers". Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

I had my 11 year old Bipolar son read the book and it gave him a short, concise overview of his disorder. He has always been asking questions and we have an extensive library at home of books on the subject of mental illness but this was the first one that was at a level where he could understand and not get bogged down in the "psycho babble". We are recommending this book to the school district and his school. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Brilliant story; but not an exploration of adoption options I started to read at 10:30pm and couldn't put it down until I finished the next morning. This included 3 crying-breaks and numrous occasions of laughing out loud. A very entertaining read.For those interested in detailed mechanics of various adoption options, however, this is not a "how-to" book. For example, only passing mention of the "international route" is made and the only two options really discussed and compared are domestic open vs. closed adoptions. The case for the open route is soundly made. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Outstanding 'Enhanced' is an excellent title for this CD. Buble enhances music that cuts across three decades and updates them with a new sound.Michael Buble could be the one who brings back swing and big band and he revives the love song. His voice is clear and fresh. He breathes new life into tunes of yesteryear and even does a better job on many of them compared to the originals.I heard this CD at a friends house, my wife and I love it. This is romantic, lilting music that will inspire you. I would not say that Buble is better than Sinatra, yet there is no comparing Buble's singing talent to anyone else. His rendition of Kissing a Fool was excellent."For Once in My Life," he sings that with full lung capacity and makes it very snappy. "Come Fly With Me," is really a kick, upbeat and perky. I really like his rendition to "Put Your Head on My Shoulder."This is a tribute to the time when music and America were great. This is going to be a gift I give to many of my friends over the next few months. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Gospel music at its best! I first heard of Natalie Wilson when I saw her video for "Act like you know" on one of the gospel channels. I didn't buy the cd though because she was still a fairly new artist to me. So I didn't know if it would be any good.Then I heard "Free" from her second album, so I said I need to pick that one up because that song was slammin. So of course I bought the second album "The good life" first which is off the hook. I just purchased this one which is almost just as good but not as long. It's a great debut for Natalie Wilson and proves that she only gets better and better. Now I have both cds in my ride rotating back and fourth between them. for all you contemporary gospel lovers out there this cd is a must have for your collection.

Name: Bob Title: Intermatic Makes Great Products I have had Intermatic lights with a 300W transformer in the past and this company does not disappoint. I bought these 35W lights along with another 300W transformer and everything works great. The light is 35W so do not expect a massive amount of light but rather accent light for trees and shrubs. I placed these lights about 15 feet from the woods and have a perfect accent without being blinded by excess light. For more light you will want the 50W lights which are great but definitely provide plenty of light so they may be overkill in the wrong setting. The 20W lights are better for accenting small trees and shrubs from a close distance. In approximately two years of using Intermatic lights I have had one bulb go out and never had trouble with the transformer. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Songbird I picked this book up on my way out of town. Honestly, I grabbed it because it was a mass-market paperback and would fit into my purse. The Christy Award was also a plus. While reading this book on vacation, I was drawn into Lisa Samson's story. I laughed, I cried, and at times became angry. When a book can stir these kinds of emotions in me, I always have to check out this author. Since reading Songbird, I have read many more of Lisa Samson's books, and I have not been disappointed. Lisa shows the realities of the Christian walk. While we are saved by grace, we are also human, and have to continually rely on our redeemer to bring us through. I am thankful for that mad dash to the bookstore for some vacation reading material. It is just another examples of God leading me in the right direction. ;> Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

He still has some pretty lame chorus's but he spits some hot verses on this album.I think I gave his first album one star.... I hated that album, I think I liked maybe 3 songs (Raise Up, I, & Petey Pablo) I gave this album ANOTHER chance; and its a little more listenable, probably about 3 stars.Some standout songs on this album are:1- Part 24- Freek-A-Leak5- O its on feat Young Buck8- Get on dis motorcycle feat Bubba Sparxxx11- U Dont Want Dat feat Lil Jon (MY FAVE)12- What You Know About ItThe rest of the songs are also good but these are my favorites. One thing that you got to get used to with Petey is his choruses. Sometimes they can be weird or just straight up stupid.Even is u didnt like his first album, give this one a listen you may be surprised.

Name: Bob Title: Great speakers for the $$$ I would like to write a longer review when I have some more time, but for now:I bought these speakers a year and a half ago. I did my homework on the web and in stores/homes listening to speakers, and although I liked some higher priced speakers more (particularly a pair of Klipsch that would've cost about $1000), I decided on these - a gamble, as I had only read a handful of reviews on the manufactures' website. I've been really happy with them. They look beautiful, they're built very solidly, and the sound very nice. You do not get the exceptional highs of Klipsch or the bass response of some other brands, but paired with a good subwoofer, amp, and turntable or CD player, these speakers sound really excellent.And after over a year and a half of use, I still don't see or hear any wear and tear.

Name: Bob Title: Beautiful, Salatious, and Intoxicating Welcome back to the world of the vamipre Lestat! Years have passed since his rock-star-gig and he's yet to learn his lesson, this time falling into the "Angel" trap of allowing himself to switch bodies with a mortal. A criminal, sociopathic, body-stealing mortal. The Tale of the Body Thief is more than just Lestat's quest to return himself to his "graceful, eligant" body, but a tale of Faust-like philosophy; of how an angelic, atheistic nun can come to love a vampiric devil; of mortality, for all its ups and downs; and, most importantly, of Hamlet's eternal question, what it is like to be.If you're a fan of the series - especially of Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat, it's a must read. If you prefered Queen of the Damned for its world-reaching, apocolpyse-bringing narrative, why not skip ahead... for Memnoch the Devil awaits.

Maybe she realized that he wasn't made of kingly material."My daughter who is almost 13 didn't start to read consistently until she was 10, and she doesn't read very well yet because she has a learning disability.

Name: Bob Title: You can do better As a disclaimer, falling asleep is only rarely a problem for me. As a result, I owned the SleepMate for quite some time before needing it. The good news is that, yes, it does produce a fan sound that can lull you to sleep. But please consider that the unit is much louder than it needs to be, even on its lowest setting. So loud, in fact, that the instructions say to locate the SleepMate away from your bed. If you do that, you'll find yourself having to get up in order to turn it on -- not good at all if you only want sporadic use. Second, and I realized this way too late, there are far better ways to accomplish the same goal. My son downloaded sleep sounds onto his iPod Touch. He has a whole variety of pleasant sounds, crickets, wind, ocean, etc (for free), where the SleepMate only makes the sound of a fan. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment?

Name: Bob Title: Heavy This book ten years in the making is a hefty critique of African authors and playwrites south of the Nile. The book is written for academics and is hard going on the conceptual theory and not enough on the entertainment value of reading the authors in question. For people all ready familiar with many Nigerian authors such as the late Ken Saro-Wiwa, Chinua Achebe, and Wole Soyinka, this book can provide some insight into the political circumstances under which Africans have to write. But the book could have benefited from some editing of the essays and a less ponderous tone Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: The Plot Against Harry Shot independently in 1969, "Plot" could not get distribution until re-discovered in the late 1980's and shown at film festivals, where finally, it received its due. Produced on a shoe-string budget with a host of non-actors, "Harry" has more truth, flavor, and character in its pinkie-ring finger than ten of those loud and obvious, big-budget releases currently passing for comedies. A living, breathing tribute to the ingenuity and potential of independent film. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Month-By-Month Phonics, Top of chart for my classroom! I use the month by month phonic book daily in my classroom. The book is well layed out, includes daily activities and lessons. There is no need for the teacher to look for other resources. If you use Cunningham's plan in her book, you cover all the curriculum guidelines for second grade. Two thumbs up for this book, a teacher's life saver. A must have resource for the classroom using a blanced literacy approach or the Four Blocks method.

Name: Bob Title: Pretty, but rough coarse fabric - not comfortable The fit was okay, it is pretty, but not very soft or comfortable. I like the balconette (balcony) style because it flatters a larger busted woman. The straps on a balconette bra set further apart than other bras (straps are more toward your underarm than in the middle of the cup) which I prefer, but with this bra the straps set way too far over nearly at my underarms. The underwire on the sides is one of the most uncomfortable I've ever worn and keeps poking me. I can't wait to take it off when I get home! I should just throw it away. For the price it should have much higher quality (aka softer) lace. Hope this helped! Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Entertaining I didn't know much about this book before reading it, but was pleasantly surprised. The author is very funny, and I found myself laughing out loud at several passages.That said, as other reviewers have pointed out, this book covers two widely divergent topics--Eggers' family situation and a biting commentary on Gen-X careers, etc. Although I enjoyed the Gen-X portions of the book much more than the, uh, heartbreaking sections on his family situation, the author had a story and tells it very well.Parts of the book tend to drag, but overall very well done. I would look forward to reading more from the author, ideally something a bit more focussed.tmr Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Stinks worse then exhaust from a 76 Vega I have never read anything by Ms. Evanovich before reading this so I don't have her other stories to compare to but I can say this isn't a good one to start with. I give it one star for the overall story. If she would have left out the 15 times a page reference to NASCAR in the first 5 chapters it might have not been so bad. But when she misspelled Talladega (she had Taledega pg 104 line 16) it was ruined for me being a NASCAR fanatic. The stereotyping of every character was another annoyance, the Hispanics, the gays, the "NASCAR guy" all stereotyped horribly, even the crime family was stereotyped...it was a story full of clichés one after another. The story had potential (if you took out the NASCAR and stereotypes and clichés) but it fell flat with the ending. It was so unbelievable and so forced it sucked the air out of me. And to think this is going to be a series for her. I can hardly hold back my enthusiasm. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: The absolute pits This movie was not as good as the first. most of the time, it got boring and bland. All the action scenes were pushed together and left the last part of the movie seem lame in comparision. I like it when the problems aren't solved quickly. Every situation was just nothing compared to the first movie's action. By the time the movie ended, I was getting sick of all the music they played in the background. It was supposed to be at least part action, but the music totally ruined it. Two thumbs down for this movie. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

I am not too familiar with the publisher, but I have just purchased "What Great Painting Say Vols. 1 & 2" by the publisher, and was expecting something along the lines of those books (great books, by the way).This book is basically photographs only, with bare minimum captioning (building name/location only). No other information at all. I was hoping to see commentary telling me things about the buildings, some sort of architectural evaluation or commentary.The only reason I give this even two stars is that the photographs are mostly pretty nice.

Name: Bob Title: Best Omega 3 I've tried I've tried other types of Omega 3 products because my doctor suggested I add this to my diet. I have GERD and most of the capsules I've tried were impossible for me to take. I would get acid reflux at night and the fishy burps. But not with this product. I've only tried the orange with chocolate flavored packets and they are so good. It's hard to believe it's a supplement and not a candy. I don't know if there is a problem with overdosing on Omega 3 but I can see how kids would want more than one packet since they taste so good. I have no side effects with this brand and since I've been taking it regularly, I've noticed an improvement in my mood and my energy level.I think I'm going to try some of the other flavors too.

Name: Bob Title: A hot, edgy premise doesn't necessarily mean a hot, edgy film You'd think that a short movie that alternates between edgy, alternative music performances and extended sex scenes between two young people would at the very least be minimally engaging, but I found "9 Songs" to be fairly dull. The music is murkily shot from the cheap seats, the presumably high resolution video photography doesn't seem very high-res at all, and the two young people just aren't very interesting as movie characters. The girl is kind of cute, I'll give the movie that, and some genuine steaminess seeps into the proceedings here and there. But the smattering of good sex is done in by inane acting, frequent dull stretches, and mostly unmemorable music. If sexy indie film fare is your occasional cup of tea, you could do a lot better. The DVD has a fair amount of special features, but my lack of enthusiasm for the movie has thus far kept me from watching many of them. Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment?

Name: Bob Title: Minor Masterpiece This qualifies as literature, and should be read by everyone, but, compared to the rest of the literary pantheon, it really is a bagatelle. It's quintessentially Gallic in style, and Gide inserts a great deal of his Oscar Wilde-like wit into the characters' dialogue; this accounts for most of the reading pleasure. There is a plot of sorts, but the narrative isn't plot-driven. Very easy to read, funny, and well-written. (There is a dour, rather melodramatic climax, but I got the sense that this was dutifully tacked on, as it didn't represent the culmination of the overall arc of the novel...which may have been the point!)

Name: Bob Title: Clone Wars! After the fairly duff ewok cartoons released in the 1980s, Genndy Tartakovsky's fantastic, action-packed CLONE WARS is a delight to watch, with the great characters, fast-paced space battles and lightsaber fights aplenty. Some have argued that the action in CW is superior to Attack Of The Clones, and while the series does have its flaws (Mace Windu is way too powerful, Padme's story is slow and un-involving), there is still plenty to get excited about. The main two storylines concern Obi-Wan and his clone trooper army battling the fearless droid army leader, Durge. And Anakin faces his most dangerous enemy yet, the deadly dark Jedi, Assaj Ventress. Other Jedi such as Kit Fisto and Mace Windu have episodes devoted to their battles, which are impressive, but lack the enthusiasm of the main story. Overall however, this is definitely worth buying, and I can't wait for season 3 to be released! Q: Does the above review have a positive or negative sentiment? A:

Name: Bob Title: Snippet collections, nothing more. This "edition" is the equivalent of a K-tel record collection greatest radio hits: a SELECTION of bits and pieces ("radio-edit" versions) rearranged topically into a collection that never existed before, and for good reason.To begin with, a topical organization is entirely antithetical to Nietzsche's thinking: Nietzsche, perhaps more than any other western philosopher was a thinker of contexts, of nuances, and contradictions. To take fragments out of context is almost necessarily to misunderstand him (and these topics are entirely the editor's invention, NOT Nitezsche's, and not even coming necessarily from the interests Nietzsche shows in his work). (...)If I haven't made myself clear yet, DO NOT READ THIS SCRAPBOOK of Nietzsche's aphorisms, ESPECIALLY AS AN INTRODUCTION to Nietzsche's philosophy.

Name: Bob Title: Moisturizes well but didn't make my skin firmer I have been using the product for 4 months and have been applying it to my face every night before bed.PROS: Has a nice clean smell, moisturizes very well, makes my skin feel smooth, gets rid of dry spots. Also, a little goes a long way. I still have 1/3 of the product left after 4 months.CONS: Did not tighten/firm my skin whatsover. Did not prevent or smooth out any wrinkles as I noticed new wrinkles over time, and the smile wrinkles I have got worse and are more noticeable now. Lastly, this product made my skin look and feel VERY OILY. I don't like wearing the product around other people as the shininess is embarrassing.This cream is basically good as a moisturizer if you have dry skin, but isn't really good for anything else. I can't say I'd recommend it, but looking at how other people have rated this, there is still a good chance that it could work well for you.

Anyone who was a fan of FM radio station KSFR in San Francisco, before that wonderful station was sold and promptly destroyed in 1968, will want this album at any price. The bumper tunes that were played all day long on KSFR, giving the station's output such a joyous and instantly recognizable character, were almost entirely taken from this record in its original DGG Archiv release. Let's hope the album gets a re-release soon so the price can come down. Or, as they used to cry out on KSFR in the early morning, "Members of the Wolfgang, Arise!!"
