Incredible Value - Not to be Missed
Previously a full set of all of Stravinsky's work was well over $200 and since that version is out of print, it sells for far more now. Where can you get 22 CDs of music for around $30? I am thrilled with this set, although there is just one small booklet with very little material in it. A nice plus is that each CD jacket does have the selections listed on the back. It's a cheapo cardboard box and the CDs are in paper sleeves, but what can one expect for around $30? If you have always wanted a full set of all Stravinsky's work without paying through the nose for it, this is the set for you. This set doesn't always contain the best interpretations of Stravinky's work, but most Stravinsky "fans" will buy copies of their favorites as well as owning this complete set. Includes some Stravinsky rehearsals too, as well as a clip of Stravinsky talking about the Rite of Spring. Includes some suites as well as the full work. | 1 |
Great Value - Indespensable Music
I coveted this set when I was younger . As I recall it was close to $200. I bought individual items through the years, including L'Histoire , Mass, Symphony of Psalms. To have these all together is a true treasure. Minor complaint is a lack of notes ( at least a web link to annotation would have been nice ) and a general dislike of paper sleeves on CDs, which quickly scratch surfaces ( my first step was replacing all of them with plastic sleeves ). But - all in all - if you are new to Stravinsky or a long time lover of his music - do not hesitate to buy this marvelous set ! | 1 |
Truly Essential Stravinsky....
...but why couldn't they re-master them? Having just watched Jewels by the Paris Opera Ballet on DVD, I was curious about his Capriccio for Piano, which was the first from this set I played. This was the music to Rubies, the second of the 'Jewels' which was hilarious, exciting, touching, and what else can I say? Very sexy. I was not disappointed. If you're a Stravinsky-ite, this set is a must. Highly recommended. | 1 |
This Book is Dumb!
This is not a book on Kaballah or anything that will teach you anything about Ethiopia or the Cush Empire but instead this is a silly book written like a dumb soap opera. It is fiction and bad fiction at that! | 0 |
a journey through the African Diaspora
this batyah has really capitured the journey for us as African in America. it is refreshing to read such a text & know that a woman of not only color, but of substance wrote it. thanks batyah. | 1 |
Damn Should've Treated You Right is New and Refreshing
I liked the soundtrack, but with the single of this hit, it offers differnt versions of the song, including the Darkchild one, which is my personal favorite. I really liked this song it has a good beat and it bumps!!!! | 1 |
I Can Relate to Damn (Should've Treated You Right)
I thought the lyrics were so good that i can even relate to them. I like the sound to party off of. It is one of my favorites. So Plush did a good job. | 1 |
Hsin Yi Theory and Applications
Very good elucidation and explanations of theory, vivid photos and the easiest way to understand the essence of the art. | 1 |
Is God convinced?
I'm sorry, but this book just doesn't cut it. It's barren of exegesis and full of emotionalism. Fact: the same word that describes the duration of the blessedness of the righteous is used to describe the duration of the torment of the damned. See Matthew 25:46. | 0 |
AC Delco TPS
The TPS was the exact part that I required, the price was right and it arrived on time, excellent service, thanks! | 1 |
Stellar Book!
Although this book is written for children, I, as an adult found myself thoroughly enjoying it as I read it. Several times I was aware of the hairs on my neck standing up as I read. I would highly recommend it to young readers who enjoy a good mystery. I am anxiously awaiting a sequel. | 1 |
Excellent introduction to problem solving
The last time I competed in a mathematical competition was in elementary school. So when I recently picked up and tried to solve some old Olympiad and Putnam questions I was dumbfounded, to say the least. Then I discovered "The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook." This book is an excellent intro to problem solving. It is an immense help in dealing with the frustration of problems that will not yield. No solutions are given-- only outlines to the solutions(which you should only read part of if you get stuck, as the outlines will easily lead to a solution). This structure was an excellent choice as it gives novice problem solvers a chance to solve problems on their own with a little help if they need it. Highly recommend![people new to problem solving should also check out "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" by Paul Zeitz] | 1 |
The Mathematical Olympiad Handbook: An introduction to problem solving based on the first 32 British Mathematical Olympiads 1965

As the descriptions admit -- there is no concrete proof
Of course this doctor's belief is one of the popular theories in the weird world of conspiracy theories, popular with the fringe crowd. Depending on who is spouting it and their personal beliefs, they tend to have a different spin. This doctor being gay does mention his great personal loss in the "gay holocaust", so one see how his personal experience colored his beliefs.It's interesting to note that he also miraculously has been a "pioneer" in another common conspiracy theory, the idea that cancer may be caused by microbes. So he is amazingly the lone genius, a virtual rosetta stone of various medical conspiracies despite the fact he seems at first, a very sober and reasonable person who might lend a certain amount of credence to these ideas, compared to the usual conspiracy nut raving about fascists, who seems to be off their meds. | 0 |
The book is a joke
Maybe there's a conspiracy about AIDS, maybe there isn't. And maybe there are little green men concealed in the moons of Jupiter, and maybe there aren't. To lead people to believe that there is a conspiracy about AIDS, Cantwell uses an amazing variety of rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies: post hoc ergo propter hoc; innuendo; experiments without control groups; statements from celebrities that they think there's a conspiracy; a reference to how the current non-conspiratorial theory of AIDS hasn't been proved (something true of all scientific theories); rarely making a direct assertion; and so on. This book simply preys on people's fears. | 0 |
Bad science
I bought this book used for 30 cents. I overpaid.there is no aids conspiracy.There is no plot to create genocide.this book is a waste. | 0 |
Too Small
The ring itself is attractive and looks to be well made, but it is very small - much smaller than the picture makes it look. It looks like it is for a child. I have returned it. | 0 |
Great Fake!
This is a great 'fake'... I bought it to replace my engagement ring which I now only wear on special occasions. Looks super! | 1 |

Probably would only use this on bass, but interesting
It's a well-made pick, the grip is amazing. Even being really thick, the 'medium' is fairly floppy; similar to any other 'medium' pick's bendiness. So, if you like stiff picks, you may want the bigger one.Using this pick results in only the sound of the strings vibrating causing noise, you lose all the 'pick attack', which turns out to be a ton of the brightness on a normal guitar. I'm not sure I would use this normally on my acoustic, but it's fun to play with.Where this pick really shines is on a bass. To my ear, it sounds just like finger picking a bass string, but without the discomfort on your fingers. I'm an occasional bass player, and I haven't mastered the art of finger picking bass style (usually with your first and second fingers), so using this pick instead is a lot more comfortable for me. | 1 |

Rubber picks
I like the way these picks work and sound for both guitar and ukulele. I think that the steel strings on the guitar will tear these picks up fairly quickly, though. | 1 |
Not what we expected
These guitar picks were not at all what we expected. They are rubbery and bend. This makes it hard to use as a guitar pick, especially for a beginer. This may be a specialty item and, if so, the description of the item should indicate this. We expected the picks to be a hard rubber and not so bendable. | 0 |
If you like rubber picks, it's great
I tried out this pack of picks and really didn't like them. If you have tried rubber picks before, and you know you like them, go a head and make the purchase. If you haven't tried one, find a music store or a friend who has one and give it a go before you spend money on something that feels as odd as this does. | 0 |
They are rubbr picks...
They are what they are... its my first time using rubber picks, and prob the last... The picks themselves...wear out too fast, but they do the job... so thats why the 4 stars | 1 |
Finally a soft and gripping pick
This is the 5th bass pick that I have tried, and finally this works great. It does not slide out your hand and has a soft tip with a nice sound. | 1 |
Pick choice is a matter of taste, but I like these
I have these in both medium and hard versions, and I like the sound they produce on my ukelele. They are significantly thicker than the usual plastic pick, so whether you like them or not will probably be a matter of playing style and what you are used to. But, at the price, it is easy to give them a try. | 1 |
Never arrived
I bought this as part of a planned birthday gift, however, it never arrived. It's very disappointing to open your amazon package in the mail and there be an item missing that I already paid for. Packing slip lied. | 0 |
grip and grab
No,no no. This is a bad idea. the pick does not glance or glide off the strings. you have to pull the pick off and away from the string. | 0 |
wrong one
I do not know if this works well or not because it was not what I was looking for. They did not send the one that would fit my breaker. | 0 |
Not what I expected
This series of books seems really to be meant for pre-readers rather than kids who are beginning to read. The stories are very predictable. For example, in the story The City, every page goes "I see the ________." I was hoping for a set of books that was a little more challenging. The Bob books seem like a much better fit for my daughter. They are still very basic, but the pattern of the text differs from page to page so she actually has to read the words as opposed to memorizing the first page and going on autopilot for the rest of the story. | 0 |
Did not advance my son's reading.
My son really struggled with reading and this set really did not help him advance. When I finally came upon the BOB series, that is when he finally had his breakthrough. The difference I think is this book was repeating the same words with the insertion of the picture for the page, therefore my son was not "reading" the word but repeating what he memorized and inserting what he saw in the picture. With the BOB books, it used word families and varied sentences. The varying sentences made him actually have to pay attention to the letters and the sounds and the word families helped him apply the sounds to new words. | 0 |
Snack Attack: Now I'm Reading!
I recommend this book to anyone with a child ready to read. It is a step by step phonics based system. Other books I've looked at have black and white pictures or boring stories. The colorful pictures add to the story and I often hear my son laughing while he reads even the simplest books. I have both sets that are in Level One, and both sets for Level two. I'm sure I will be purchasing Level Three. | 1 |
I love this set
We've used the Bob books, Diego phonics, Curious George phonics and by far this is the best "set" of books for my 4 year old boy. Each book focuses on a different phrase, so the repetition of certain words builds confidence.The stickers have been a great reward system, for us. Generally I am selective about when using rewards - I'd prefer my son learn to read simply for the enjoyment of reading, and not for the sticker - but I have to say that stickers work! I volunteer for 1st & 2nd graders who are "behind" their classmates (something I really don't agree with in our public schools) and stickers motivate them to read, even at that age. It also becomes a quick way for them to see how many books they've read.I commend the teacher who started this set, and hope more educators are able to put their real-life expertise out for parents like me! | 1 |
Missing a screw
I got the set for my husband who loves everything chess. It was missing a screw out the box. He didn't tell me to a week later. He wants to find a screw on his own but I'm mad and want to return it. Not happy. | 0 |

I didn't rate this as a toy because I use it for displaying my collection of pewter. It is made really well and holds and shows them nicely. Thanks | 1 |
What a waste of time!
I was very disappointed in this CD set. Caroline spent most of the time talking about the pit falls of human nature and how wonderful she is as a healer. What an ego! I found myself zoning out so much that I don't even remember most of it. Save your money, but if you must purchase it-get it used. | 0 |
Really disappointed
I have loved allot of Carolyn Myss's work in the past, but this one is just a real disappointment. She brings up allot of very good points in the program, but falls short in addressing them. She either does not completely address a paticular point or she just goes on a rant that totally takes away from the point she was originally trying to make. There is so much overly opinionated commentary on her part that you begin to tune out her voice. I hope this is not what we can continue to expect from her future work. | 0 |
disappointing
With a title claiming "Essential Guide for Healers", and having high regard for some of her other works, I was excited to hear this set. I was expecting a positive, motivational, educational, enlightening experience - instead, I was weighed down with her seriously negative attitued about what healing artists other than herself were bringing to the world. It was painful, but I listened to the entire 4 discs, waiting for some of the kinds of gems that have come from her other works. The 3rd and 4th discs were somewhat less negative than the first two, but disappointing is the best one word review for this work. Wasted money - I don't even feel good about passing it along to anyone else. | 0 |
Disappointing to this listener
While I had heard a lot of Carolyn Myss, held her in high regard, and owned several of her books, I had not heard her speak. I saw another massage therapist listening to this CD set and just ordered the CDs based on that. What a shock.From the reviews I see that Carolyn does help some people, and we all have different tastes, but personally I found her attitude unsettling and unpleasant. I was really surprised at how much I did not like the CDs.Recommendation for the reader? See if you can listen to some of her CDs before buying them, so you'll have an idea if she's helpful to you or not. | 0 |
Essential Guide to Discourage Healers
Although I feel much of Caroline Myss' work is incredible and her span and wealth of knowledge is priceless, this work is filled with discrepancy of thought, negative attitudes and a prevailing grudge against those who have chosen the field of alternative healing or healing arts. Her advice seems to be presented as though it is coming from a place of tough love, but it is not...it is just plain tough and discouraging. Because I have enjoyed so much of her works, I pushed through it and found many good kernels of truth, but you have to wade through a lot of negative and downright rude personal stories and 'advice' to get to something useful...I prefer the facts without so much negative commentary. | 0 |
Worthless
Stay away from this book. Waste of time and money. Other reviewers have said correctly - it's ad for his IBS Treatment Center. | 0 |
Sleek, very attractive desk accessory
Very pleased with desk organizer! It takes up little space on the desktop (would be good for limited spaces), and helps make more space by easily handling & organizing multiple files and docuemnts. Excellent purchase! | 1 |
Vintage Bowie
If you are a Bowie fan or think you could be, this is the CD for you. Released more than 30 years ago, it is still the best Bowie recording ever! Sound quality is excellent and David was at his best. You won't be disappointed. | 1 |
Unbelievably Bad
I am stunned that this album receives ANY favorable reviews. I am a Bowie fanatic, having taken in a dozen of his shows stretching back to 1978, and have owned every album of his. This is not just his worst album....it is THE worst live album EVER by ANY performer. The arrangements are sloppily played/plastic soul cum art rock and I am sure his whole band is embarassed at how they sounded on record. As bootleg aficionados know, there ARE good shows from the 1974 tour. This album somehow manages to give them a complete miss. As for David himself, he is in the nadir of his cocaine addiction and simply can NOT sing here. His voice is Awful throughout, making even this hardcore Bowie fan cringe!! Buy "Stage" instead--when he was not coked to the gills croaking out plastic soul in front of a band that could not care less--what a difference a few years makes. | 0 |
Better than expected..
Much better than we expected for 10 dollars! Plays music, lights up & is the perfect size! My son is going to love it!! | 1 |
incomplete packaging
When I opened the box there was a notice saying that if there was any missing pieces please notify the company and they would replace the pieces immediately. I looked and there were missing pieces so I emailed the company. They got back to me in a timley manner but said that I gave them incomplete information. I gave them every number, company name that was written on or in the box, but still they said they needed more. To make a long story short they will not give you the missing pieces you'll have to buy them yourself. They disguise themselves as helpful, but they aren't. I was very unhappy. I do not reccomend this product. | 0 |
Good product
Quality: GoodPrice: Value for moneyComfort: solves the need of a basic chair.If ure looking for extra comfort as to lean back and have arm rest in the sides then better go for different kind of chair. | 1 |
Great Chair!
Easy to setup and better than what I expected. It's lasted me good so far and it's pretty comfortable. The only bad thing is that it doesn't lean back which is something I wish it did. Oh well, I still recommend it to those who just need a desk chair temporarily. | 1 |
For Novelty
This was a gift for a Trek buff. Only a Trek buff can appreciate this cd, trust me. Its funny and enjoyable. The item was packaged nicely and in great shape, brand new. arrived on time. | 1 |
startrek lost
I would like to say that bill shatner can sing as good as he can act. But i won,t. He can't even carry it. His voice is one of the worst i have ever heard, and if he took singing lessons for years he might just work his way up to awful. As long as you don,t take it seriousy' it's o.k. sort of. But anything you could think of would be better. He even sings worse than my brother' and that is saying a lot. nuff said. | 0 |
Sincere!
Shatner's tracks are completely off the rails and funny because of it, especially "Mr. Tambourine Man".But Nimoy sings so sincerely I find myself preferring his versions to the originals. It will be an odd soul that takes this seriously but he really is that good, warm and sincere, and it will give you some insight into the soul of this man in terms of the songs he chose to record. | 1 |
A gem
I bought this years ago. It was absolutely hilarious. Just listened to it again. Still hilarious. Timeless. Seriously, Shatner doing the Beatles never, ever gets old. But the surprising part is, some of these songs get beyond their cheesiness--especially a couple of Nimoy's--and are actually charming. Not great music, to be sure, but listenable and enjoyable. And the track called Music for Watching Spacegirls is just plain good and should be in more soundtracks. So buy this: it's funny, it's cute, if you're a fan of these two, you'll love it. Great bang for your buck, too--there's a ton of tracks here. | 1 |
Scariest album I ever bought
Let me be clear from the outset: get this album only if you are the kind of person who enjoys the bizarre. It is incredibly strange to hear Leonard Nimoy sing - actually sing in a deep, almost baritone voice - about the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. His rendition of Peter Paul and Mary's Hammer Song (If I Had a Hammer) is hysterical. And Shatner, oh, Bill, what were you thinking? This album takes campy to new heights. | 1 |
All for Fun / Fun for All.
Spaced Out is the perfect title for this stoner's delight...These guys should've been on the road with the Grateful Dead..."Further". | 1 |
The beatles and Bob Dylan poets? Ha!
Shatner proves that he was the greatest poet of the '60s. Who else can make a serious concept album mixing Shakespear and Cyrano De Bergerac with 'Mr. Tambourine Man' 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'How Insensitive!'This CD will make you laugh guaranteed. No one is immune to the dementia residing here. Shatner's psychotic ramblings in the midst of some of the cheesiest pop schmaltz of the '60s are an endless source of fascination. | 1 |
An underappreciated classic
In much the same way that Jimi Hendrix "owned" Bob Dylan's classic of All Along the Watchtower, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy provide the definitive versions of these popular music classics. It is interesting in that Dylan also wrote Tambourine Man, however in a comparison between Shatner and Hendrix, Shatner reveals his long dormant musical expertise by taking Tambourine Man and the listener into an almost mystical , and almost musical experience while Hendrix degenerates into feeble guitar riffs in an attempt to emulate guitar great Waylon Jennings. Long after the inept warblings of the original artists have faded into the popular music subconscious, these sterling renditions shall continue to illuminate the airwaves of generations to come. | 1 |
This is the most god-awful piece of crap ever produced.
All the songs were nausiatingly bad, and the cover songs were personally offensive. I do not know if I can continue living in this world. No god would allow this. | 0 |
Start With the Opening Music to the Original Trek Series

Not quite what I expected
I was very surprised when we opened this set at the extreme fundamentalist Christian Propaganda printed on these cards. Science made over - in the image of the theory that men and Dinos lived on earth at the same time. I had not read the review of this product and had I known its content was not a scientific one I would not have bought this. We just glued the cards to index cards and wrote the facts of each Dino on those. I would not recommend this. | 0 |
The best Soccer ball for practice
This product is everything it is described. The balls are very durable .Mikasa Soccer Ball is very well made piece of equipment and has an exceptional price | 1 |
NOT a soccer ball
I should've read the reviews for this ball more carefully. Unlike the description which calls this a "soccer ball", this is NOT a soccer ball as a few reviewers noted. It is too heavy and too hard for soccer. It's probably good for soccer in the mud as it has no seams but not good for soccer otherwise. | 0 |
Great Product.
Got this ball for my son who actually was a soccer player. He really liked and that must mean something. | 1 |
not really a soccer ball
For all of you who noticed this is not really a soccer ball... Congratulations!!! Very well observed! This is a footvolley ball (see youtube). It is widely and strictly used for the practice of this sport all over the world. Mikasa is the only brand to get it right and they have full monopoly over this sport when it comes to ball supply. The reason why it's waterproof is because it's played at the beach. It's also deflated to 6lbs at first and gradually increased to 8lbs as it gets worned. Better after a couple of months of usage.If a soccer ball is what you want, this is not your ball | 1 |
Great
The best ball for Footvolley. It's came as I expected. Thank you for the service provided. Will suit for my needs to play in the beach | 1 |
A powerful story
This is one of those books that sticks with you long after junior high. During a camping trip in the Florida Everglades, two girls find themselves separated from the group as a hurricane strikes. Despite their intense dislike for each other, they are forced to pool their resources and rely on each other's strengths in order to survive.This is a tale of unexpected courage, and I highly recommend it to girls in their early teens. | 1 |
Need to own
This came highly recommended by major guitar makers and works very well. As always, Amazon delivers quickly and for the best price! | 1 |
Very cool, just make sure its compatible
It works as advertised IF you have a compatible guitar. I have a Dean Dime o Flame ML and because of the gap between the tremolo system and the body, the D Tuna wont fit properly once pulled out to the Drop D setting, it will be pressed against the body while slightly lifting your tremolo system. So it is likely it wont work on other Dean MLs or other guitars with similar tremolos (I think they're called "Locking" or "double locking", someone please correct me if I'm mistaken). I give it only 4 starts b/c I could not find out it didnt work with my favorite guitar until after I got the D-Tuna and spent the time installing it.However, on different guitar, (this one has the tremolo and bridge slapped right on the body, instead of floating with a gap to the body) it works awesome! Going from standard E to Drop D in 1 second, and then back to E whenever you want, how is that not cool and convenient?! | 1 |
Highly Accessible, Immensely Informative
Anyone who uses a mobile phone, relies upon oversees Internet connectivity, or worries about personal security should get acquainted with this book. Mr. Vacca has once again produced a very accessible yet easily readable tome on the dangers and promise of satellite encryption. Pick it up and you'll learn about or government policies regarding satellite communications management and security. By the time you put it down, you'll understand everything from pagers to the electronic battlefield. It's a must-read! | 1 |
Technically detailed, and great reading as well
As always, John Vacca provides an incredible level of detail in a readable manner. The Internet implications are particularly applicable to almost any reader. In our case, where the line-of-sight constraints of radio transmission in our wireless WANs are forcing us to look at satellite options, this book is an invaluable resource. And the tales told herein about encryption break-ins and techniques make fascinating reading in their own right.Technical from orbit to chip, and immensely readable as well! | 1 |
Excellent designed and documented satellite encryption book.
This is an excellent designed and documented satellite encryption book for individuals and organizations concerned with the use and misuse of electronic data. The book is divided into six parts that inform the reader about satellite encryption. Several graduate students preparing research topics on data and voice communication encryption methods are using this book. Following each chapter is a set of Endnotes that allow the students to perform further research concerning their topics. I recommend this book for individual to become aware of the coming satellite communications revolution. | 1 |
Educational, enlightening, and amazing!
John Vacca never ceases to amaze me with the wealth of information he is able to put into a very concise yet understandable format. His latest book, Satellite Encryption, is no exception. John's books take you by the hand and guides you down a path of very complex subjects and issues, making sure you don't get lost. In the end you will feel the journey was well worth the effort. | 1 |
Exellent resource for satellite information and issues
The principles that are discussed by John Vacca describe satellite encryption technology as well as indentify important national security issues. The combination of political and technical topics make this one of the most unusual books to come out in a long time. | 1 |
Good deal
I like to use alternative flours in my baking! this has a really good texture, but you do have to add extra moisture. It is a really good price here on amazon in comparison to grocery store prices. With this flour a little goes a long way. | 1 |
Good product
Good price since I didn't have to go to the store for it but the cost is comparable to most stores. But fresh and quality the same as that in the store. I do a lot of gluten free and pale cooking. This is great product., | 1 |
Lives Up To The Hype!
This coconut flour is awesome! I ripped it open the moment it came in the mail and made some gluten free zucchini bread. It turned out phenomenal!!! What is great about coconut flour is that a little goes a long way. Very economical and a great way to bake healthier for you and your family. | 1 |
Great high-fiber flour addition
I've used it to compensate for using agave nectar instead of sugar. It really sucks up the liquid in a recipe, so even if you substitute just 1/2 cup of ap flour for the coconut flour, it does some great things for the recipe. It lends such a nice richness, without extra fat, to cookies and cakes. And, it makes the house smell terrific when I'm baking. | 1 |
YUM
I am doing paleo and to get any yummies you need to use coconut or almond flour. This stuff rocks! | 1 |
Not sure if it is the brand or the coconut flour in general
Absorbed all the liquid in my recipe and as a result the end product didn't taste very moist. I haven't tried other coconut flours, but if they all work like this, I would stick with rice flour for gluten free baking | 0 |
terrible taste
this is one of those things that smells better than they taste. the taste is just awful. food suppose to taste good. also it takes just a few spoons to fill the recepie, and there is not space for a regular flour. but two spoons is enough to screw up the whole thing, and sugar and vanila wont hide it!and folks, loot at the price of this thing! i would think it is a good sub for those with gluten intolerance....and that is about it | 0 |
Processed in a plant that also processes tree nuts
Absolute bummer!I am looking for alternatives to everything else and coconut floor seemed like the ideal ingredient, but having kids with severe tree nut allergies forces me to return or donate this box of flour.:-( | 0 |
Coconut Flour
I am not pleased with the results of baking with coconut flour. The levening doesn't seem to work when coconut flour is an ingredient. I will try to use it up, but I won't buy more. | 0 |
Taste like eating sand only grittier!
To say this stuff was awful tasting would be kind. If you are looking for a carb substitute go with TVP instead.Should have a negative star rating. | 0 |
Wonderful
Coconut flour is lower in carbs, gluten free, non-allergenic, and bakes very nicely in muffin/bread recipes. I have only begun to experiment, and have baked mini-pumpkin bread loaves with much success. | 1 |
Amazing Album
I Agree one of the best heavy Albums of the year! The live show is Amazing...Go see them! | 1 |
Trumpeter Tim Hagans melds Miles Davis with Drum-n-Bass
Fresh and interesting fusion of be-bop and drum-n-bass. The first and last tracks represent a more straight forward jazz sensibility and sound, with the rest of the album exploring what happens when a drum-n-bass collides with Tim's trumpet. Produced by jazz performer Bob Belden who also plays piano on a few tunes. | 1 |
disappointing
I am a huge fan of Serpieri's work, yet this book is a collective of his least impressive left over work. The book has few pictures compared to the number of pages because opposite from the picture page is a page with brief commentary. A lot of empty white space is in the book. Many of the sketches are very crude. A better book would have showed the process by which Serpieri gets to his fully finished pictures. If you want quality Serpieri buy his other books.

This CD is very well done--excellent artwork, vocals are superb! It is a straight-faced parody of Christmas Carols about the Broncos, really fun to listen to. Any Bronco fan would enjoy it. All the lyrics are included in the CD brochure. There is one solo about the history of the Broncos that is just awesome--what a voice. | 1 |
A book-length piece of tabloid trash
This book is nothing more than a sorry attempt at trying to make the life of man who shys away from the limelight seem sensationalistic. Throughout the book the writer seems to be dieing to reveal some bit of scandal, some skeleton in the closet of Stanley Kubrick, and he fails at it repeatedly. Baxter writes like a smug, holier-than-though iconoclast who deeply resents the success of the man he writes about. This book is fit only for the grocery store tabloid rack and even then it wouldn't sell because Kubrick has led a sober and quiet life only surfacing every ten years or so to deliver a quality film to quality-strarved audiences. If you want to read a decent biography of Kubrick, check out Vincent Lobrutto's book... | 0 |
Baxter Not A Kubrick Fan
One comes away from this book with the impression that the author didn't really have his heart in the subject matter. This is a kind assessment, because Baxter writes of Kubrick in a tremendously unkind light, highlighting the filmmaker's seemier side.As a long-time Kubrick fan, I felt like I needed to take a shower after reading Baxter's bio. Could Kubrick really be as terrible a person as Baxter makes him out to be? One wonders if Baxter was snubbed by Kubrick in the research phase of the book and took it out on the man in the writing.There are some interesting tidbits, though. I particularly liked finding out about Kubrick's method; he doesn't write shooting scripts - he writes outlines and then suggests dialog and works with his actors during the shoots.Not for everybody. Certainly not for people who want analysis of Kubrick's films (there isn't any). | 0 |
informative and very interesting
This book is greatly researched, and an extremely interesting read. For all of Baxter's effort's though, the man Kubrick remains an enigma, as he has to all authors, journalists and the general public. Insight is offered however into his mind by Baxter's excellent 'essay' writing ability, and from quotes by those who have worked with stanley.Because Stanley Kubrick is such an intelluctual, this book seems to come under flak becasue it is not written in this style. Shame on Baxter for trying to broaden public knowledge on Kubrik! How dare he not use big words all the time! I have read 3 books on Kubrick, and while this is not the best, it is still a good read.Most importantly though, is it shows Kubrick for what he really is, modern cinema's greatest intellectual, mastermind, and genius. A sad, black day for the cinema world with his passing. | 1 |
Does Baxter hold a grudge against Stanley Kubrick?
While providing the occasional interesting insight and backstage tidbit, one gets to wondering what this book really has to offer. Baxter seems set on focusing on every alleged obsession, eccentricity, shortcoming, peeve of Stanley Kubrick. And to what purpose? In the end, we know some particulars about Kubrick, but the filmmaker remains as much a mystery to us as when we began reading. And perhaps that is the way it should be. | 0 |
Vampiric Baxterization
Skip this one!Like a deaf dumb and blind troll attempting to describe why he thinks Rodin's The Thinker aint so great.Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the real Stanley Kubrick will quickly suss out what a snarky gossipy little twit this author is.Distortions, misquotes, anecdotes taken out of context -- every chapter larded with Lord Baxter's porky opinion masquerading as enlightened analysis.Cinema parasitism at its worst.Baxter should stick with Page 6 trash at the Daily Mail.Never thought I'd ever be sympathetic with Ken Russell, but noticingthat he's already suffered this same sort of Baxterization gives me pause. | 0 |
Silk-e scores big on her first album
Silk-e's my girl! i first saw silk-e on "the cut" and knew right away that i would buy her album and love it...and, true to form, she rocked the spot. urban therapy is the bomb...she's got fresh beats, some good slow ballads (i love her raspy voice) and phat rhymes. she recorded the album right here in OAKLAND and she's got my love...do yo thang, silk-e. it definitely has a debut album feel (some of the tracks could have better sound quality), but i know that we haven't heard the last from this girl...she destined to take over with even fresher beats and even tighter rhymes...get it girl, handle yo business... | 1 |
