Heroes Was The Reason

To tell you the truth this device is good for any one who is interested to know how the hd-dvd format works, by that i mean people who might have an interest in buying an full time hd-dvd player.

One of the things in an hd-dvd player is it's need to connect to the web to down load cookies or the latest update which is easy at time but because since i got heroes season 1 something happened.

The first disk was ok but as soon as i inserted the second disk things went crazy, now it can't read the second disk it's as if it's not there.

I tried it with another hd-dvd and it was ok but every time i put disk two the same thing happens, i took a copy of the same hd-dvd disk of heroes from someone and still the same thing happened.

Because of this i have to order the standard def of heroes just to find what the heck happens in ep3( it was or buying an hd-dvd player which i don't think i would do now since this stupid war is going on between toshiba and sony).

Any way don't expect miracles from this device if you want to get the full power of hd-dvd get an hd-dvd player but if you want to get by with watching movies with some of the extras get this but please remember that it was made by Microsoft so be careful.

Great story, and a rather quick read.  The action is non-stop, moving from crisis to crisis.  The hero does what everyone would like to do but who are afraid to actually do it.  More insight into the thinking and character of our hero would be good.  The action that plays out in the story suggests motivation that is deep seated and complex, but one feels there's a lot more that could be said to describe what brought our hero to this point.

This book had me hooked at the introduction, in which the authors choose to highlight Rick, my namesake from Casablanca, as their quintessential hero.  This is my favorite movie for many reasons, but primarily because Rick's climactic act of selflessness is one of the most inspiring examples of cinematic heroism.

Beyond that, Heroes is a book that inspires in its own right. Throughout its chapters we are shown many heroes and types of heroes (some we may not agree with, but the authors do not shy away from controversy, nor are they parochial in their examples) and given thoughtful insights into the circumstances and psychology, enduring and ephemeral, that define them. Ultimately, we see that heroism is both grand and personal, and that the potential to be superhuman is in all of us.

In this current age, where so much of our culture is mired in darkness and the focus is on celebrities and characters that are corrupt and contemptible, this book is a breath of fresh air. Read it, give it as a gift, spread it around. The authors also have a blog where they regularly feature profiles of courage from around the world, as well as from history and literature; it can be found at the University of Richmond website under the same name as the book.

Too often, we tear down our heroes in a misguided attempt to "humanize" them -- but if being perfect is a prerequisite, then nobody can ever truly be a hero. Thankfully, in "The Girl Watchers Club," Harry Stein sets things straight. These men demonstrate that the essence of heroism is character. It's the will to do what must be done, and to keep on doing it because it's right. That's not a small thing by any means, especially in these days of moral relativity, but it requires no special skills or training, and any of us can do it if we're willing to try. Yes, the Girl Watchers are a most interesting bunch of characters, and it's immensely enjoyable to get to know them through Stein's engrossing narrative. The book is a winner on that level alone. But the book's subtitle is no afterthought -- life really is a battlefield, and these guys have much to teach us about winning. Truly inspiring.

This was a good video that told interesting stories about our American Folk heroes.  The stories brought out the moral lessons that they were created to teach in the first place.  My son loved it, but my daughter was a little disappointed that there weren't any heroes that were girls.

I should have made notes on each heroes real name.  During the book, the heroes stop using their hero names and just use their real name.  That obscured things some but it was still an AWESOME book.

The first story was just okay, but Hero's story was brilliant. I loved the idea of Candidates so much. I simply wished the whole book could have been written about them.

This was an easy informative read. Recommended for anyone who needs to appreciate modern medicine and the heroes throughout history who worked tirelessly to conquer these deadly diseases.

The hardships of war are very true and folks that survive are our heroes.  They come back to life and live so that we all enjoy a freedom we wouldn't have without their bravery. Great story thanks for writing it.

I first saw this autobiography in 1965 when I was 10.  I was fortunate to have my brother-in-law, who was an Air Force veteran, explain to me who Audie Murphy was, and how this was not an ordinary war movie.  I have heard the term 'hero' thrown about for everything from teachers to sports figures, but in my eyes, the definition best applies to those individuals who put their lives on the line to protect others, or to further advance a greater good.  Audie was not the only hero of that war and this movie serves as an example of what our heroes in all our wars are all about.  A real good patriotic movie.  In addition, Mr. Murphy has his story in book form, under the same title, which is also excellent reading.  As an actor,  he has many fine roles and appeared as a lead actor whose genre was mostly westerns.  For this I would recommend "Seven Ways from Sundown".

Arthur Shores was an American hero of the first order. It is one thing to act heroically when your government is behind you, another entirely when the government not only gives cover to your enemies, but acts against you as well. I found his story, as told and experienced by his now adult children, to be a heartwarming, uplifting and inspiring account of recent American history. In short a thoroughly enjoyable read.

I enjoyed the story. I was interested the whole time and the hero is a pretty believable guy. He actually got hurt sometimes and didn't seem to be support human just trained and fit.

This is really a fantastic movie, and what is even better is that it is a true story of some real heros.  Some movies about this subject can be very depressing and leave you with a sad or dark feeling but, because this is a story of courage and heros and the majority of people in this country were very brave and heroic it is an uplifting movie.
