Great early Sammy: This was Sammy's second album for Decca and it's a good one. Filled with great standards and top arrangements, you can't go wrong with this one. The remastering is very good too. Has a nice clean treble and good presence. Sammy's take on Body and Soul may not reach the depth of Sinatra's classic version, but is still a fine reading and is definitely the highlight of this album. And it's the only one on this cd that has a trio backing, rather than the big band, so it give the song a nice intimate, after hours jazz feel. A fine rendition for sure. If you like Sammy you can't go wrong with this one! |
Bonnie Prince Billy on Steroids: This album is great on so many levels. Will is in fine form, delivering a heart wrenching performance and the band is spot on while still retaining a ruggedness which gives the songs character. Also, the songs are beefed up to full out hard rock mode which approaches the most ragged Neil Young or (dare I say) Pearl Jam. Tracks from the album 'Master and Everyone' benifit from this reworking, giving them a force and power that was perhaps lacking on that record. Recorded prior to the release of 'Super Wolf' you can hear the germs of that album here as 'Summer in the South East' prominently features Oldham collabrator Matt Sweeney and his more rock oriented guitar playing. The recording itself reveals what sounds like a very intimate affair with audience interaction and between song banter. Tack on another half star to give this an overall rating of 4.5 |
very useful: I'm an artist and have a lazy susan with mugs of markers, colored pencils, scissors,etc. The putty holds the mugs in place,even when I spin it quickly! When I visited my Aunt in California I used it to hold all her treasures, from her travels in Europe, in place on the shelf. She was afraid to put them out, incase of an earthquake. I use it when I decorate for the holidays. There are alot of people around and it helps keep the manger scene from falling over if the table is bumped. |
Great product!: The putty is great. I use it to hold my pictures straight on the wall. It is so nice to look at my walls and the pictures are straight. |
A Glass Collectors must have: Be it children, dogs, earthquakes or clumsy adults this product has saved several of my favorite pieces from the ultimate demise that all glass may one day succumb to... |
This works!: I have a colored glass collection that I wanted to display. Regular putty did not have a real good "hold", so I tried Collectors Hold Museum Putty. It worked better than I hoped for. I feel my glass is safe now thanks to this product!!!!! |
Safeguard your collectibles: Museum Putty is absolutely wonderful. You can place a breakable item just about anyplace and not worry about it being knocked over and broken by children, pets, or even adults. It will not harm the item you put it on, can be removed easily even if it has been some time since you put it on your breakable, and it won't mark the surface you adhere it to with one exception, painted window sills can be a problem in that it will peel up the paint. I would repaint a winow sill to place something beautiful in my windows I don't want broken. |
Lovin' it: It's hard to find a good selection of oldies, but I had plenty to choose from. I'm happy with the CD. |
Snow Buddies: My children, myself and my neice all love the Buddy movies, this is yet another good one for the collection. Its wise to buy several because if you stop at just one you will be watching many many times! |
Family Night In: This is a great movie for a family night in - the kids will love it and so will the parents. The dogs are soooo cute - well worth the time to watch this. |
A Valentine Movie: Another cute one from the line of Air Bud. we thoroughly enjoy this type of family movie! |
BRRRRRRRR! Cool movie. ARF ARF: This is 2 years after Air Buddies was released. The story involves the buddies apprently landing in Alaska(control your dumb appetite, Budderball). Its up to them to help Adam and his snow puppy to win the annual sled race. I say this is great for the winter. Oh yeah and Mudbud... is clean. |
Cute movie: My son loves the Buddies movies! They're all adorable. This one isn't one of his favorites but its still a very cute story. |
Beautiful Meditation: Although DJ Krush's "Zen" is far ahead of its own time, there is a palpable sense of nostalgia and iconography within the confines of this amazing album. The opening track, simply entitled "Song", is a gorgeously lush combination of subdued hip-hop beats and traditional Asian musicianship, reminding listeners of Krush's own roots dug into Japan. Which is why this album works as a whole. The slight reminders of what came before are knots in the music, they hold it together, giving us a myriad of hypnotic vocals (including N'Dea Davenport, Zap Mama and Black Thought, among others) and tripnotic beats, yet all having something in common. In all, this album is one worth meditating to, whether your eyes are open or not. |
the reggae lover from SD likes this: I am from San Diego and i love the music they call reggae. I don't usually listen to other music, but this cd by dj krush just has me freakin hooked. I don't know how many times I have listened to Days End back to back, but it has got to be somewhere in the hundreds. You don't hear to many soulful trupets being played these days but Kazufumi Kodama manages to play the best trumpet I have heard in a long time. Black Thought is extraordinary on this album. The beat that Krush has going while Thought is laying it down could not have been any beeter. I have never heard of Zap Mama before but after hearing her song on here I might have to give her music a try. This is an awesome cd that I recommend to everyone. |
OH MY KRUSH IS BOMB: This is indeed a sick album and one to have in the car at home at work like american express it is the loveliest check out the cover for god sake- money. |
Great HDTV for 1st Exp.: I got this TV yesterday, and let me say, it is perfect, i got it from circuit city for $550. Was looking at the 27'' Olevia version, but this caught my eye. The picture quality isnt great without an HD subscription, but it is still good. It has everything you need unless youre into more technical TVs.Menu is fantastic (short and sweet). So far my XBox360 looks like bliss hooked up to it. All i need is a HDMI cable (cablesforless.com) and im set!One tiny winy little thing is that when it is off the blue LED light lights up the bedroom so i turn it off from the back, but its perfect. I havent had any problems with it like the other reviews here. It comes with a 1yr warranty already so i didnt get a 3yr deal. I say if you've done a lot of research and are on the edge, buy it, if you want excellent picture quality, make sure you have a HD subcription for HD channels! |
Happy with it: I purchased SD-3950 from Amazon.com about 5 months ago and I used it with a new Sony HD TV set. It was very easy to setup and operate. So far no problem at all. It can read minor damaged DVDs that my other DVD player can't read. The picture quality is good but I have no chance to compare with other progressive scan DVD player yet. The olny thing I don't like is when you use fast forward, it doesn't show you a smooth fast forward, but it jumps forward. Overall, it is a cheap DVD player (I paid for under $40 after rebate) with pretty good quality for me. |
Audio????: I bought this as a bedroom-only DVD player and am pleased with the picture quality. It's connected to a Toshiba 20" flat screen and the video image is wonderful. On first connection, there were strange pauses, but that never happened after setup was done. My only concern is that the volume does not go very high when playing. There is no receiver (it's a DVD to TV connection), and when I put the TV volume to full, the audio is hardly at high volume. I connected component video cables to the TV for stellar video reproduction and used the cheap in-box cables for the audio connection. It's somewhat irritating to play a movie at full volume and have it sound a notch above a whisper. If anyone has any possible solutions, please comment. |
Great for the Price: I was kind of skeptical after reading all the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. It works very well, the sound is great and it has a lot of functions you can play around with. After the rebate you couldn't really find a brand name DVD player in this price. |
Great for price: Great dvd player. Looks nice, very slim, very light, alright remote control. The only draw back is the "forward and backward scan" buttons or the same as "next chapter" buttons. |
VERY PLEASED!: I bought this as a gift for my boss. I work in the construction industry. He loved it! He immediately started playing with it. About a week later, he told me his mother bought him an identical one. Now he has both on his desk. |
Good Recipes: I tried some of the recipes like Fried Adobo Chicken, Oxtail Stew and few others and they all came out as expected. I just wish it came with some pictures because even though I'm some what familiar with Mexican, Panamanian, and Puerto Rican cooking, I like to see pictures whenever I'm cooking something I didn't grow up on. |
Cool: I thought this was a very funny and romantic movie! I fist saw it in it's original Chinese version, and liked it very much. I would recomend it for people who like less serious Kung-fu movies.I also like Nicky Wu. It was a nice change from his show Treasure Venture(also good).Also if your really into these movies I would suggest also seeing Stormriders, it's an excellent film. |
One of the best soundtracks ever: When I went to see "To the left of the father", Luiz Fernando Carvahlo's first film, at a film festival, I immediately understood I was not watching a movie, but living an experience, and since then it ranks between my favorite films. Based on the novel written by the Brazilian peasant Raduan Nassar, the three-hour-long movie stands up as a work of art by Carvalho's domination of the cinematic subject, the cast's brilliant acting, its complex script, superb photography, and, of course, its musical score. Gimaraes, the composer, has reached with this soundtrack a supernatural result, which cannot be compared with any musical score in my recent memory (not even Morricone's best, which I particularly like). So, in conclusion, I recommend this soundtrack eyes wide shut. But I think the movie does not receive yet the importance it should have. I hope, day by day, the film gets published on DVD, to be internationally discovered and wildly applauded. |
Seal Everything!: Holy mole I love silicone, lol.I've already used this for a couple projects and intend to try to seal up some places around the house where ants get in.... and fix our gutters.Finding I'm looking for things to seal....and excuses to buy more! |
Excellent history of SAAAB: Excellent and highly readable account of the Santa Ana Army Air Forces Base. Lots of photos. A great resource for anyone who wants to know how our soldiers trained on their ways to becoming pilots during World War II. |
Nice case: I received the case recently and overall I am happy with it. The padding inside the case could stand to be a bit better, but other than that I'm a happy customer. |
all in one level: If you use any size level at all, this magnetic level is for you. With this level, there is no need to buy differing sizes of levels. All you need is thin gauge tube steel and this magnetic level, ie.. if you need a 48" level, cut a 48" piece of tube steel. No more need in spending hundreds of dollars in levels. For the framing carpenter, all you need is a piece of tube steel long enough to reach top and bottom plates to insure a plumb wall. Typically, framers have used a 48" levels to plumb walls, but studs are never without some kind of crown or warp. Using this level, with tube steel touching top and bottom plates, achieves accurate readings. It is a must for the professional builder. |
Great Level: This is a great level. The size is perfect.... not too small and not too big. It easily fits in a tool pouch or tool box, so there is no excuse to not have a good level with you. It has the usual Stabila quality, so it's accurate and rugged. |
Son loved it.: This is a really cute bear. It was bigger than I expected, but perfect for kids. Of good quality. Would buy again. |
Big Balloon: Loved this balloon for my son's 1st birthday party. It was really big and he was so excited to see Blue!! |
How to Paint Murals, etc. by V. Ellerton: This book has lovely pictures - it definitely is helpful in determining how to paint certain types of simplistic murals, but is not detailed enough for intense scenes, skies, landscapes, etc. A good book to start out with if you are interested in how to paint murals. |
Mas sonido Salsoul!: Una joya mas del sonido disco de Salsoul, realmente este CD nos lleva de la mano por el estilo de Loleatta Holloway. La voz de Carol Williams realmente hace grande esta pieza clasica de la musica disco, aun que se edito en 1976, su sonido es majestuoso, la orquestacion simplemente es pertubadora y te incita a pararte a bailar y seguir y seguir.Siempre estare de acuerdo, Unidisc cada dia me sigue sorprendiendo por sus lanzamientos y reediciones de clasicos disco. Este album esta completamente remasterizado y cuenta con 3 bonus tracks en versiones extendidas, simplemente lo mejor.1. Love Is You 5.082. This Time May Be The Last Time 3.373. More 5.404. Just Feel 4.185. My Time Of Need 3.436. Come Back 3.407. Danger Sign 4.518. Rattlesnake 3.469. You're So Much A Part Of Me 3.5110. Love Is You (Extended Mix) 7.5011. More (Extended Mix) 7.1812. Come Back (Extended Mix) 7.14 |
a B Disco Diva: Carol Williams has a soft voice and was never a real Diva, still the record is very Salsoul so very enjoyable for those who like that kind of supermarket disco music ...like i do! |
Useful, deserves a sequel: I've used this book several times to help with quick solutions to common problems. Deserves a sequel. |
Great Quick How-To: If you need to know how to do one of the items contained in this book it is an excellent source. Some of the examples were overly simple, but others were very insightful. |
Quick, task-focused how-to's that work!: This book is in my favorite format for development titles: a "cookbook." When you have a specific application requirement to implement, check out this book first before you reinvent the wheel. Jones covers topics such as:- delay signing an assembly- creating an animated system tray icon- performing screen captures- protecting files with symmetric encryptionand much more. The C# Programmer's Cookbook is already one of my favorites. Note that it is aimed more at the intermediate developer, but .NET coders at any level will find useful explanations from this excellent publication. |
The missing piece!: My sons grew up with Mr. Rogers Neighborhood and our family has very fond memories of his gentle style. Now my four-year-old granddaughter is watching thanks to these newly released videos. This is what's missing from children's media! After all the razzle dazzle, high impact, rock'em sock'em, furious action, ADD- inducing programming, Mr. Rogers is a welcome oasis of calm reassurance. When she comes to our house, our granddaughter asks "to visit" with Mr. Rogers and his friends. She will happily sit with me while the Neighbors tell their stories and work their magic for all of us. I can see a significant calming effect in her during these times. Best of all, it sparks her imagination for story telling and play that current children's programming doesn't do. They are pricey, but I plan to buy more. |
very good: This is a very good book! I like the way the author tells the stories. I especially like the last chapter. |
Bonus feature = most of Brussels 1971 film: In addition to the December 9, 1970 London Lyceum footage, this "Special Edition" includes a bonus feature consisting of most of the February 6, 1971 concert shot at Theater 140 in Brussels, Belgium as shown on Belgian TV's "Pop Shop" program.Unfortunately, it's missing "The Barbarian," which is available on theMasters from the Vaults - Emerson, Lake & PalmerDVD, which is the entire "Pop Shop" film, but not as good video quality.Note that the "Pictures... (Special Edition)" DVD lists separate tracks for "Interview" and "Blues Jam / Nutrocker," but they are included on "Masters from the Vaults" as well: the interview clips are after "The Barbarian" and the "Blues Jam..." is the encore after "Knife Edge."By the way, "Knife Edge" and "Rondo" from this film are also included on theEmerson, Lake & Palmer: Beyond the BeginningDVD. |
ELP-PICTURES!: OVERALL,I LIKE THIS VERSION OF PICS BETTER THAN THE OTHER RELEASES.UNFORTUNATELY,THE VIDEO TRACK-BARBARIAN-IS THE PIECE STILL MISSING HERE.ITS NOT A COMPLETE DVD YET!BEING A GREAT ELP FAN FROM WAY BACK,HOPEFULLY ONE DAY THEY WILL RELEASE THE ENTIRE DVD INTACT. |
Brilliantly absurd.: This is a five-star movie all the way, but it will get a lot of bad reviews from people looking for a horror movie, which it is not. It is a movie about movies and about audiences, from an absurdist perspective.With a premise about as ridiculous as anything SyFy has served up (you know, the people who gave us Dinopossum vs. Crocopillar... or something like that), I expected this thing to peg the old Cheese-o-Meter. C'mon... A tire comes to life and starts killing everyone in sight? Instead, what we have here is a very funny, very literate, and very absurd little film with some great performances.I fear that explaining what goes on will ruin the pleasure of discovery for those who would appreciate this movie. So I won't.I'll just say that if you're looking for a horror movie, or a cheesy horror movie, this is not the film you're looking for--go about your business elsewhere. But if the word "absurd" doesn't scare you off, give this movie a try. |
Easily the best movie I have ever seen.: This movie illustrates several important and compelling issues in our society.Principally, the importance of tire safety. Secondly, the very real threat of a tire uprising. We must always consider the small things.A true masterpiece. |
An original dark comedy: First off, this isn't a horror flick. Just in case that's what you're expecting. It's darkly funny and absurdly original. If you can find humor in movies like "Fargo" then you'll probably enjoy this one. |
Mesmerizing...: This is a movie made for... well... let's say the most jaded of movie-goers. The kind of film MOST regular folk won't "get," and the quirkiest of us will "love." I've never seen Titanic, any of the Twilight movies, and I hate Forrest Gump. If you would rather watch 'Ringu,' and 'Ju-On' instead of 'The Ring,' or 'The Grudge,' and prefer Guillermo del Toro's non-English movies to the American fastfood stuff he makes, then this movie will appeal to you. If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about... don't watch 'Rubber,' you'll just be frustrated... ;-) trust me... |
The Best Movie Ever!: I was a bit skeptical about this movie at first, but it really is a great movie. Just buy it and you'll see what I mean.Sincerely,DeFalco |
RUBBERFANTASTIC: THIS MOVIE WAS FRIKIN AMAZING. BROKE ALL THE GENRES AND TEARS ARE RUNNING DOWN MY FACE. I CANT TELL IF THERE TEARS OF JOY OR TEARS OF SADNESS BUT MAN THAT WAS AMAZING. KEEP TRYING TIRE |
Progressive Vitamin Dispenser: The Vitamin dispenser was just the right size with a good number of divided compartments. The green lid was somewhat difficult to turn but I am sure it will loosen up with more use. |
Good one: Best design of it's type; no flexing lid to come loose.Very convenient way of storing and dispensing pills.Done. |
Excellent product: Excellent product. I've used them for years. Great for vitamins and perscription medication. |
A nice light read, but a very powerful story: I fell in love with the story of Bill Porter when I was in high school. I saw the piece on 20/20 and something about it just stuck with me. I was extremely excited when the movie with William H. Macy came out, and eventually came across this book.The book itself is a light read. (I finished it in one sitting). Some people have complained that Shelly Brady centers too much on herself, and that caused them not to enjoy the book. I felt the opposite. At some points while I was reading, it felt as if I was sitting down to lunch with Shelly and she was just telling me about Bill.I definitely reccommend this book, look into the movie, "Door to Door" as well. |
Very Inspirational: I purchased this book because I just became a Watkins Associate and had just heard about the movie. I think the story is easy to read, definitely kept my interest, and made tears come to my eyes several times. I can't imagine having the determination and positive outlook that Bill Porter has on a day-in and day-out basis. I highly recommend this book. |
Not for those who tear up easily!: This book is one of the best I have ever read. Inspiring. Heart warming. Made me want to give this guy a hug! |
inspirational without being preachy: A great glimps into the attitude that made Bill Porter such a success. Doesn't tell you that you have to be like him but shows what an unstoppable attitude can accomplish and how it can affect the people around you. |
I HAVE LEARNED!: When I heard from Barbara Walters that Bill Porter�s story which was featured on ABC�s 20/20 generated the most viewer response in television history, I was inclined to know more about this modern day hero. In �Ten Things I Learned from Bill Porter�, this courageous man, despite his physical setback- recognizes there are no obstacles. And in his optimism he will not allow his limitations to interfere with his daily course of living and ultimately succeeding. In the book, Bill mentioned his special friend (and author of this book) Shelly Brady as his �angel�. Beyond doubt, Shelly and the Brady family epitomizes how human beings should aspire to be. This book is an absolute inspiration to read and makes excellent gifts. I am going to read it again and again!... |
Well worth an afternoon.: Forget all the mean-spirited reviews from people who totally missed the reason for the book. It was NEVER touted as a biography of Bill. (Would you petty naysayers please read the title of the book again!) It was about the profound effect Bill's life had on Shelly Brady. As one astute reviewer noted, the word "I" is in the title. Read the book, take its' many uplifting messages to heart and enjoy the journey of a true American hero and know that anything is possible with enough belief. Both Bill and Shelly have enjoyed a friendship without any barriers that we all wish we had. A remarkable book. |
A bit of rambling: This is a great story and a quick read. I didn't think that it was that well written, Shelley seems to repeat herself and ramble on and on. It had a great message though |
Simply Delightful: This book is simply delightful. I could not get over Bill Porter's accomplishments. There is a message in this book for everyone--love they neighbor as thyself, care for others and be good to those around you. Don't judge others also comes across in a positive way and everything is possible. Great book!!! |
Loved It!: I just finished this book and loved it...all the different charactors kept the book interesting I couldn't put it down. The ending was a little disappointing, but the rest of the story made up for it. I hope that there is a book to follow about Cassandra and Whit. |
OTT At It's best: This is what happens when the mastermind of Rhapsody is left alone for too long.The album is an intersting concept album set far into the future, and is the usual Power Metal sing-a-long affair with far more symphonics than any Nightwish album you could care to mention. Luca has surrounded himself with competent musicians and the album is in most ways awesome so why not give it 5 stars? Well, the bombast of it can grow old if you;re not too careful. But then, that's the same with most power metal, isn't? |
Yea, I think this is one of the most great albums in the world: I have hear a lot of music, and always get tired after a week or two, but in this case is diferent, the songs, the history, and the combination of metal and orchrestra is wonderfull.if you want a change from the trash music of the radio, you must get a copy of this album. |
Here Comes The Prophet: Anyone thinking on buying an album of Luca Turilli must hear Rhapsody first, if you like Rhapsody, there's almost a 100% chance that you will like both of the albums of Luca Turilli. This last album, "Prophet of the Last Eclipse", I found it superior that "King of the Northic Twilight". Besides the usual Rhapsody's type of symphonic metal sound, it has a little of techno involved, giving that futuristic sound that the band wanted to provide. A good album; however, some of Rhapsoy's materials (specially the first three Rhapsody albums["Legendary Tales", "Symphony of the Enchanted Lands", "Dawn of Victory"])are still in the top of my list in the area of Luca Turilli's work. However,the excelence of Luca Turilli's music touch is the same way present in "Prophet of the Last Eclipse" as in any Rhapsody album. Great CD. |
Good Price: Very good disks, especially for the money. Shipping was quick and I will buy more of these again. So far I haven't found any bad disks. |
CD-RW: I had 1 c/d that recorded awful. I should have erased it and tried copying a different c/d with it. I didn't do that. All & all good product. Just burns to slow. |
Great Clocks: I bought 2 of these for my law office and so far after weeks of operation they are keeping perfect time. Very happy. I would note for those not looking closely at the photos that this model does not have s second hand, just an hour and minute hand. This was not important to me, but I thought I would mention it as it may be important to others. Would buy again. Do not forget they are 18 inches wide. |
Fodor's Switzerland: It is a very good book with lots of information about the Hotels, restaurants, Public transport. It made our trip a lot easier. |
Works great, but broke a little: A piece broke off the front scooper sucker thingy after 5 minutes. Must have been broken in the box. I epoxied it. Besides breaking and having to fix it, everything else is great... works great... |
Silly yet fun!: A great cast including Stefanie Powers, Lloyd Bochner, John Candy, Anthony Newley, Yvonne DeCarlo and Isaac Hayes. Newley's escapades are hilarious and it's fun to see these well known actors in a show before they were famous. |
Awesome for tourists: This book really helped while my husband and I went to L.A. for a vacation. The book has highlighted the most interesting areas of the city and made the ciy managable. Each highlighted area has its own fold out map with places to see and things to do. This is a great feature for driving around the city because you don't have a huge map to deal with (so chances are you won't wreck the rental car). Each highlighted area has infomation and a bit of history provided. The book also has pages in the back with detailed descriptions of interesting sites, resturants, hotels, etc. This book helps the tourist explore one area at a time. I highly recommend this book, and the metro moon series for the traveler. |
A real good PDA: This is a really good PDA . It only froze up onze in the year i've had it probaly because of this corructed game i downloadedfor it . I have used it to death , and no problems .Here are the good things about it:1.it plays MP3's2.it has bluetooth3.A realy nice screenits fast too |
Bad customer service: I bought the Tungsten T here because the web page said that this item was new, came in a new box with a manual. I spent more money because of this but that is what I wanted. What I received is a Palm Tungten T in a repackaged box, with NO manual and copied software. I feel that the third party that has this misrepresented themselves. I had to use the Palm Pilot because my other one was stolen and I needed this. This is just a warning to all of you. |
Good Product, Solid Construction of the Palm itself: Coming from a Handspring Visor Deluxe and then Platinum, I was a bit sceptical of a "true palm". I write like crazy using Graffiti, and wasn't sure if I'd like the hidden pad area. As it ends up, the TT is very solidly-built, and the hidden pad isn't annoying at all. When it opens, the TT fits very will into your hand, and the edges of the hidden area actually help you hold on while you write. Being able to listen to music allows a mix of both business-related and fun uses for the TT as well. The color screen is amazing as well, allowing for a lot more uses of the TT.The only thing I don't like about the palm is the cradle. It doesn't really cradle the TT, and it's a little on the annoying side. However, once you get the hang of it, it isn't too bad.So far, two thumbs up overall! |
Best Palm yet: Have really enjoyed using my Tungsten T (quite an upgrade from my Palm IIIxe). I like it's size and features, my only gripe is that it doesn't have the jog dial that the Clie's have (probably proprietary) and it's a tad on the thick end for a PDAs. I have had to soft reset it a number of times (more often than my old Palm) but it's speed and colour clarity is simply amazing. The digital voice recorder works very well, have been able to easily convert the .wav files into audio cd format, very handy.Overall, a great unit, very pocketable, sturdy, with input applications like jot/newpen, there's no need to extend the unit to access the grafiti section. Highly recommended. |
Outstanding machine: Wow...this thing does so much!! Software included has Word, Excel and Powerpoint programs that are excellent. The Bluetooth function is terrific...though don't get this to surf the web. It's best for e-mail and Hot-Sync transfers. The screen is great. Definitely worth the entrance fee. **The best case is from Franklin Covey. It holds the TT by the same notches used for the screen protector. |
bluetooth bluetooth bluetooth: i just replaced my Sony Clie 615 with the tungsten and i dont regret it 1 bit.firstly i also have a t68i with GPRS plus an apple ibook with a bluetooth adapter. the tungsten works flawlessly synching with isync on my mac.I also use my tungsten to surf the web using my bluetooth t68i phone. I connect to my phones gprs connection using bluetooth and this is definetly one of the best feautres. The provided web browser is excellent!The coolest thing about the tungsten is that its soo small! I hated opening up my tungsten to scribble something in but now i found a solution for that. there is a free software called NewPen that will allow u to use the whole screen as a grafiti area! I dont have to slide open my tungsten anymore everytime i need to write something!i would definetly recommend this palm device, its fast, its got bluetooth, and it works perfectly with my Mac. |
Palm Tungsten - Awesome!: Like others, I have traded in my Palm Vx for this wonderful device. I am glad that I waited for this one.The design is cool, and the screen is nice and crisp. I've been using the bluetooth feature to communicate with Nokia 6310i, I thought it was cool that the software bundle had all the popular bluetooth phone drivers.The software bundle is cool and it was a breeeze to setup and upload pics, powerpoint, excel and word files into the device.I got a 128MB SD and works just fine.I was thinking of a Sony Clie but if you factor in the costof a bluetooth memory stick, forget it. Even current Palm 515 and 505 thinking of upgrading to bluetooth, forget it, sell the old and buy the Tungsten! |
Uncluttered: Considering all of the books that have been written about golf, it is rare to find one that is so concise and clear. This book is all anyone will need to start learning golf. For those of us who have cluttered our minds with technical golf garbage over the years, this book is a great start to taking out the trash! |
The definitive book on the simpleist way to swing a club: Physics, not phyisique. Earnest Jones proves his own point by winning the equivalent of the NY State professional championship before and after the war, after with only one leg. His methods prove that the clubhead is the only part of the golf club that the student needs to concentrate on. |
If You get it You have Something...: I wanted the book : recommended by Bobby and Harvey... it had to be Something. And the Something is a unique way to understand the swing, thus the rythm, thus the tempo... The hands make it all. But if You want to try it, have thin grips, very thin ones (Like Lady Undersized). If not, go back to the other methods, body, shoulders or leg driven. Ernest just wants the hands... And if you can feel it it's ...magic.. |
"Swing The Clubhead": There are so many books and articles on how to improve your golf swing that I am usually put off by them. Each author and so called golf professional has his / her own techniques to share with you that at the end I find them confusing. After reading about this Swing the Clubhead book, I decided to buy it. It is simple to read and sure enough, does not ask you to remember a thousand moves and thoughts when you are just trying to improve your swing. Although the book was published many years ago, I find the content refreshing. I have read it a number of times and believe it has help me to gain a firmer concept of grip, stance, and club swing. Highly recommend to anyone golfer who wants to improve. |
history, memory, guilt: This is less an account of Uwe Timm's brother's life and death in the SS -- though it is that -- than it is a reflection on memory and history, specifically on what they mean in postwar Germany. Timm's brother's diary, kept against regulations ("it ought not to exist," Timm writes), is brief and ambiguous. And in those ambiguities lie the greatest turmoil and conflict, with no real answers. What did the brother mean when he referred to a "big louse hunt"? Clearly, he was involved in criminal activities ("plenty of loot!"), and clearly, he was coarsened by the war ("fodder for my MG"). But was he involved in atrocities? Did he murder civilians? Those are the questions that Timm can't answer with any certainty. They point to the doubt and guilt of an entire people, a people who still struggle to come to terms with the war. Sixty years: still no answers, still no resolution. |
Outstanding Concert DVD: This is a great concert and DVD if you like the Osmonds, outstanding production and a first class show. |
the osmonds!!!: i've been an osmond fan for over 30 years. to see this was a real treat. they all sound and look so good. i'm glad alan got to do a lot of the songs with them. he and jay were always my favorites. i will watch it over and over. i will recommend this dvd to everyone that is or was an osmond fan. it is absolutely fantastic!!!cindy |
osmond 50th DVD: enjoyed the video, a little dark for the background and would have liked to see the brothers in a dance routine. Their voices are still well worth listening to. |
Not released yet: The person who reviewed this DVD is, I think, confusing it with the DVD that the Osmond fan club released of the reunion. That DVD is primarily about the fan reunion and the "Meet & Greet" and only shows bits of songs. This DVD that will be released in April is the concert (and is different than the DVD that PBS will be offering in conjunction with broadcasting the concert during pledge week). I saw portions of this new concert video this past weekend (at an Osmond gathering in Las Vegas) and it is, in fact, full songs and is very, very well done, which is why I'm giving it 5 stars. I look forward to seeing the entire DVD! |
GLORIOUS!: This DVD set is a treasure - as is this amazing family! What a remarkable milestone for this glorious family - 50 years entertaining us with their beautiful voices, sincerity and humor! Most all the hits are here (70's, 80's, 90's, 00's!), along with touching memories from all the siblings - I was enchanted from start to finish! Quality - picture and audio, top notch! Old fan?...New fan?....On The Fence Fan? - Don't hesitate, BUY THIS - you will LOVE it! |
The Osmonds 50th Live in Las Vegas Reunion Concert: I purchased two, one for myself and one for my daughter. We have enjoyed watching this DVD very much. The music is great, sound great and the entire DVD was great entertainment. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. |
Soothing music for babies, children, and even adults.: This is a very soothing CD featuring the music of Beethoven in a soothing manner. It is a toned down version of Beethoven's music. It would be comforting to babies, children, and even adults. A great way to introduce children to classical music. I play it in children's yoga classes and they recognize it. Apparently it is already popular with young children. The only downfall is the children really think it is just for babies. |
Music to her ears!: One of the first things I bought for my infant daughter was a collection of the Baby Einstein cd's, and I'm so glad I did! My girl just loves to listen and brightens up everytime the orchestra tunes up at the start of the cd. It is simplified, so not as thrilling for mom, but no real complaints... It certainly beats the Wiggles. |
Very good and concise book on optimization: I read the entire book and I found the material very concise. It has very good worked examples and the exercises in the end of every chapter are challenging and very interesting at the same time. The first 6 chapters are a review of linear algebra, geometry and analysis, so they are a little bit dense, but that is the way it should be since you are reviewing. I read the first 6 chapters in a few days and it really refreshed my memory with many forgotten concepts. The other chapters are very well presented and have clear examples.The algorithms presented in the conjugate gradients chapter and in the Quasi-Newton's methods chapter are the ones used in the engineering nowadays (for instance DFP or BFGS) for solving non linear problems, and the chapter on simplex method also presents the simplex in a smooth but deep fashion.I took the course with one of the authors (Dr. Zak) in Purdue and I believe it was one of the most useful courses I ever took. |
Best ones I have had: Got these at a local store. I wear them to work at Lowe's every day, So i am on concrete 9 hours a day. They are VERY comfortable, fit great, and my feet are never sore.I now wear them as my day to day boots also, wear them to the bar even, get a lot of compliments! |
Phenomenal, Phenomenal, Phenomenal ! ! !: Erasure never lets you down! As with all their albums, you can listen from beginning to end without skipping through anything. Every song has fantastic melodies and poetic lyrics, all tightly woven together for a seamless album.True to their history, this album is a natural evolution of their past sounds (but every bit Erasure) - and as such, you may have to listen to it 2-3 x's to "get" the feel. It's amazing that if you own all of their releases, you have an entire kaleidescope of sound - each album possessing a distinct ambiance but the words and style are unmistakabley Erasure!Get it - you will be thrilled that you did! |
The Duo is Back: A little wussy, but classic Erasure. The duo has made another good album that unfortunately will go unnoticed by the masses. Freedom and Moon and Sky are instant hits and the more I listen, the more songs I like. On every album that Erasure puts out, people expect a "Chains of Love" or an "Oh Lamour", but that was 13 years ago, and the band has grown since then. Loveboat is a good album that is worth the listen. |
The way it used to be: When I saw that this series from the early 1960's had been issued as a DVD set, I immediately ordered it. I really didn't remember much about it, but I'm a big fan of Gene Kelly, who never fails to disappoint. In this series, he brings his usual charm and easygoing personality to the role of Father O'Malley (the role Bing Crosby had made his own in the original film version). Leo G. Carroll is a surprise as the elderly pastor, Father Fitzgibbon. Who knew that he could take on an Irish brogue, dance a jig, and sing a delightful Irish tune? I didn't remember Dick York at all from the series when it was first on TV, but he is believable in the role of the youth center director (a role not in the film). I love this series for portraying a simpler time in a manner that just lets one sit back, relax, and enjoy. It's gentle and loving. How different from today's TV fare! |
Going My Way_the Complete Series-30 Episodes: Love adding this particular series to my video collection -rare series that's not likely to come one's way anytime in the near future.Continues the adventures of Father O'Malley & Father/monsignor Fitzgibbons. |
Very good experience!: I purchased 2 CD's - West Side Story and Vittorio - I have discovered the wonderful tenor Vittorio Grigolo. West Side Story is the new recording of the musical where Toni is sung by Vittorio Grigolo. The CD's came after a few days, and I am enjoying them very much. |
Good sound quality: Great sound quality but If you are stuck on the original sound from the movie or broadway, this isn't totally the same. |
Gripping but reminscent of another monster.: Within the first 30 pages I was on the edge of my seat with no plans of putting this book down. As the main characters of the plot come forward and reveal themselves, so does a memory of another book with a scene around a psychopathic mass murderer. The plot continues with as much intensity as it began rushing me to a great twist turner of an ending. This is my favorite Charles Wilson book so far, but I was constantly reminded of the similarity with another psychopathic mass murderer who has become famous in the media recently. Definitley worth reading but a copycat of a story line. |
My First Wilson Novel but NOT my last!!: "Nightwatcher" was my first novel by Charles Wilson but certainly won't be my last. Though I wish Wilson added some additional detail, there is certainly NO fluff and all story. A great one-evening read, perfect for travel. |
