 Rating:  - mommy baby body buildersI realy like this DVD. I was super lazy and did nothing throughout my pregnancy so i found the excersise to be challenging but not impossible. I read a review that said that this DVD was gritty and looked like it was taped on camcorder. I disagree. The backround is calming and senic and besides, it's an excersise tape not Star-Wars, geeze. The only problem I had with MBBB was that i'm a total clutz and needed more time inbetween excersise to get into position. I just paused and got into position and restarted. I also think a person should stretch a little more than they have at the end. My baby realy enjoys this DVD for the most part but we do stop half way for a little break. She also hates tummy time so will get pretty fussy during that part of the DVD but I just keep on because it's good for her and is just enough time so that I don't feel bad about leaving her in that position. Rating:  - not as satisfiedThe quality of the picture is not good in my DVD player. Plus my son is two years old. He can not be still when I am trying to working on the Yoga with him. But this vedio might be good for mothers with younger child, for example 3 or 4 months old child would be the best suit. Rating: - mommy baby body builders is funI like this video and so does my baby. It is fun to watch him smile and laugh while I work out. Working out is not chore time it is play time! Rating:  - Updated: Was not worth buyingUpdated 2008 Review (Hope this new detailed review will be more helpful): I bought this DVD to help get back in shape post-pregnancy. Out of the many post-pregnancy exercise videos & DVDs that I purchased, this one was the least useful and least enjoyable. The DVD has a very cheaply & quickly produced feel to it. I did sit through this DVD once and attempted to follow the exercises. I have to admit that I questioned the safety of some of the baby/mother exercises. As I mentioned I have several baby/mother DVD exercise videos and this was the only one that I felt the exercises might pose some safety risk to my baby. Personally I feel there are much better DVDs available for post-pregnancy exercise so I have to rate this DVD as a total waste of my money. Rating: - Good excercises, bad production qualityThe exercises in this video are good, and the instructors clearly enjoy working out with their babies. However, the production quality is very low (like it was filmed using a low quality VHS video camera), and worst of all I can't play this DVD on my computer (unlike every other DVD I own). Since my computer is in the room where I work out and I don't have a TV/DVD player in that room, and there isn't room to work out in the living room where we have our DVD player, this is a big disappointment for me. Don't buy this DVD if you plan to watch it on your computer. |

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.
Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."

DVD features
Yes, the unrated edition of The Dukes of Hazzard has nudity... but no, it's not of Jessica Simpson, but topless sorority girls. There are also two sets--"PG-13" and "unrated"--of deleted scenes and bloopers. The four minutes of unrated deleted scenes (supplementing the 25 minutes of "PG-13" deleted scenes) include more sorority girls and a menage à trois for Johnny Knoxville . The five minutes of unrated bloopers (the same amount as the "PG-13" bloopers) feature a few more girls but mostly bad language. Featurettes discuss the Daisy Duke short shorts (and show how you can make your own), car stunts, and the making of the movie (narrated by a cast member of the original TV series). --David Horiuchi
