This has to be the best ipod case ever made the only down fall is that some head phone jacks i.e ipod to AV cables will not work unless you pull the case back, O and as with all silicon products i guess, it collects lint like mad.

This shower was a complete waste of money. The zipper broke when we were setting it up. We decided to use it anyway. Then the whole thing fell down because we put shampoo bottles in the designated pocket. If you are doing light camping that has minor wind and don't need a heavy duty shower I guess this would work.

This is a story thaty is not well known from World War II. The publisher did not edit the orginal draft resulting in some interesting grammer and spelling, but that does not detract much from the story.

The writing and storyline are good, although not Ms. Rowling's best. The pace was off: a medium pace through the book then several quick shockers at the end.I call it "merely" a set up because it creates some more reasons for Harry to kill Voldemort (as if there weren't enough), ties up some loose ends and offers some explanations. It left me unsatisfied-the only book in the series to do so.If you haven't read the series and aren't inclined to read it in order, this is not the book to start with.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was a good story with a little action and a little romance. The ending did surprise me...I'm pretty good at reading a book and just enjoying the ride rather than trying to figure it all out. I like the Star Wars movies so the little references to characters from the movies were nice...however I think that the story could have been so much more if it was more well-developed. Also, due to the ending, I now am searcing for the sequel but can't find one which is beginning to annoy me...the ending, while interesting, left me hanging.

First, let me suggest that you read "Dark Curse" first because it will provide some useful back ground info to make this book more enjoyable.I have read many of Ms. Feehan's "Dark Series" (or "Carpathian") books and they have ranged from pretty good to a little silly. The standard "Dark" book features a female lead who is fiercely independent to the point of being rebellious in a rather childish way and a male lead who has a lot of deep tragic problems and is also a male chauvinist (although he means well). Most times the female lead has a lot of deep tragic problems too. Sometimes these problems are a little too graphic and disturbing for my taste. I see enough of that on the news, you know? This book sticks to that disturbing pattern.What is different about this book is a female lead I can respect. She is mature, centered and unselfish. She has dignity and can be vulnerable in a non-childish way. Her identity is revealed early on and it was a pleasant shocker. I love it when a book surprises me. The male lead was also a shocker. You can read the inside cover and know who they are but it's still like "Whoa! Those two?"The male lead is very different from the usual Carpathian. He's a kinder, gentler Carpathian and very likable. He's a misunderstood underdog. Together they form an "us against the world" kind of relationship and have a calling even higher than their love: they plan to destroy the Carpathians' worst enemy.What was really enjoyable is that these two tweak the noses of the more typical Carpathians, especially the males, here and there. Even Gregori gets his comeuppance.The weapons, Ivory's lair, the wolves and the overall story are interesting and entertaining. The representations of love, spiritual and emotional, are touching. The physical love scenes were actually unnecessary and written in Ms. Feehan's usual formula ("Her womb clenched" is a common and odd Feehan phrase).I can honestly say that this is the best Carpathian novel I have read to date. Even the cover of the book was a nice departure from the usual: a fierce female warrior instead of the cheesy shirtless coverboy that makes me cringe when paying the clerk.

This book is really geared for women 52 and up and/or baby boomers. As a forty one year old woman who was married for fifteen years, I couldn't relate to much of her experience. She is not really savvy about online dating either. She didn't seem to know that there are fake profiles on these sites and the fakers will even chat with you. I learned that the hard way.That being said, this is a good book with some nice insights. I really appreciated that I was not alone on my feelings on divorce and the author has a warm humorous personality that comes across well. She has some good advice.

I played through Dragon Age already without the add-ons. The DLC and other content have enriched my experience. The basic game stands on its on though. The game has pretty good re-playability. I am on my third round. The mage has a lot of cool spells, that is my favorite class.The storyline is very involving and dramatic. The "companions" are interesting people although I cannot stand Zevran which makes him even more interesting. There is clever dialogue throughout and the dog is pretty fun. It will fetch items for you that you would not get otherwise which sometimes leads to side quests. Nice weapons and armor sets. There are also crafting abilities.You can tweak the companions' tactics too. I spent a lot of time revising tactics according to situation. There are also moral choices to be made. Sometimes it's good to be bad.My main beef is the beginning story-lines being attached to class and race. This limits customization. That being said, they are good story-lines that figure into the plot later, in a minor way.My second beef is that a couple of the "boss" fights are just endless hacking and hacking, I finally switched to "casual" (easy) game-play so it would be over with.Another fine game from Bioware. I have been playing Bioware games for a long time now and I can't think of one that was no good (although Mass Effect is so-so, there I said it).

For those fans of Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt and the like, Karla Barnoff's debut album showcases the melodies that she composed, but were often made famous by other singers. Miss Barnoff's haunting voice and soulful, heartfealt renditions of her own creations are not to be missed!

In Max Brooks post-apoptotic zombie story World War Z, he (Brooks) is a journalist who is collecting data and describes the events following the ten-year Zombie war from the different views of different people all across the globe in the. The story starts with an American doctor in China when they are called into a small village after there was a small outbreak of an unknown virus, where upon discovery the doctors are shocked to see a small child trying to attack them without arms our legs and he is dubbed "Patient Zero" (for being the first reported case). The story shifts to unknown border agent who job was to try to stop the disease from spreading via illegal organ trafficking, where Brooks shortly after reports on a story from a Brazilian doctor who tried a heart transplant on a patient with an infected heart where we learn more on how the disease spreads. The story soon moves to the Middle East were mayhem is starting to erupt among nations regarding immigration survivalist. The story really starts to pick up when the pandemic enters America because of the ease of it spreading and really shocks you because you would expect the U.S to be prepared, also this is where the most heroic/action pack gruesome scenes take place. The story fast forward a few years to the U.S.S Saratoga where the U.S president decides to fight back and reclaim the Earth. Brooks main idea toward the story would be of him showing the unedited first hand accounts of the Zombie War and how it affected peoples life. The rest of the story you need to read on your own because it is to good to tell.Max Brooks is a classic horror story author, and I would put him along side other great writers such as Edger Allen Poe, or Brooks' good friend and associate George Romero. He wrote this to continue on with his trademark zombie theme he has been so good at and Brooks loves to write zombie/apocalypse type books and this has to be his best on by far.Brooks used his iconic evidence and imagery to convey his thesis and it gave it a more authentic feel with the use of the reporter/interview structure of the story. Everything from severed body parts, crawling arms, to shotguns and revolvers, help show the classic world-ending zombie invasion. Also the revolving themes of survival, uncertainty and your minds darkest thoughts give the story a more creepy feel to it.World War Z is a classic Brooks style writing and fits right in with his other Zombie books like Zombie survival Plan. It is also very eerie do to the possibility of this all happening especially right after the random cannibal outbreaks that have been popping up all across America.Overall this is an excellent book, and I recommend it to everyone whether our not you're a zombie fan. It is a little confusing because of the different writing style used, and the random jumping aroundness, yet once you get into a couple of pages you will have a hard time setting the book down trust me. With the addition of the upcoming movie directed by George Romero, it is an even more reason to read.

Must read for any Zombie/post-apoptotic survivalist enthusiast.

you are truly the finest film composer that ever lived. Your scores are fascinating and I've listened to every one. But this is his absolute best. The music follows the action in the movie perfectly, and yet the music can still stand on its own as a complete work. There is no such thing as a boring minute in this score. And listening to it conjures up the feelings the movie brings, making the cd a completely enjoyable experience. If you are a fan of soundtracks, this score is a must-have, for it is the greatest soundtrack of all time.

This is not the typical Williams score. It's very slow-moving and not fun to listen to. I hate to say it, but the best song on here is Ain't No Mountain High Enough. The other songs are dull and boring--no entertainment value whatsoever. If your looking for the genius of John Williams, don't buy this cd, because its not here. Get the Star Wars soundtracks if you want one of Williams' brilliant scores.

This is amongst the worst books I've ever read! I read it to the end just because it was so unbelievably bad. Another reviewer said "don't read this book if you're over 12 years old", I totally agree with this assessment. To say the characters were one dimensional would be over stating things. The plot is totally unbelievable, the characters shallow, the dialog straight out of a Hollywood D grade movie. Save your money and avoid!!

The punches used in this book are not at Michael's or any scrapbooking store that I visited. I live in Miami, FL and had many stores to attempt to buy them. The punches are available through mail order in the back of the book. However, all you see is a line drawing of the shape. The punches are expensive and you need a lot of them for the flowers.

I was worried to find a replacement bulb for my swing-arm craft lamp with a magnifying lens in the center but this is the right one. I thought my husband was going to have to install it but it was as easy as plugging in a phone charger. When I first turned it in on, it was pulsing bright and dull. I was worried that I had done something wrong and called Phillips customer service; however, by the time I got through, the problem corrected itself. I assume the lamp has to warm up to a steady energy output. If I was going to buy again, I might consider something without "cool" in the description. This brightness seems a little harsh.

My car has only one outlet and it is under the arm rest. Many of the other options have the cord too short and if won't reach the cup holder (this one has a long cord), or the part that goes into the outlet is too tall and I can't close the arm rest. I went to Radio Shack to look before I bought this one and nothing would work for my car and their prices were a lot higher.

We bought this based on positive reviews to replace another one with telescoping legs that quickly broke. This model has much sturdier legs, the storage compartment is high enough to store a full-size mouse and the built-in mouse pad is a bonus. Some reviewers did not like the clips but I think they are just fine. Our only negative is the lamp did not work. I thought I read another review with the same issue. We will return this one and get another of the same. Certainly, I believe the problem will be corrected but nonetheless, it is an inconvenience.

I must have gotten a different shirt from the other positive reviews. This shirt is scratchy and of the cheapest, most synthetic quality. The image is not silk-screened. It is like a rubbery iron-on! Yuck! The colors are not true to the picture. The green one is truly fluorescent. To return the product, no pre-paid shipping was provided. I had to pay for shipping both ways. If you are considering this shirt, throw $12.00 out the window instead (that's what postage will cost after you too return it). The only reason I am giving two stars is the design. I like this Android eating Apple more than the other designs available.

Probably the best tank emptying pump there is for this price. Easy to start hand pump siphon. Very fast tank water change. Even has a small suction cup to hold it at the right depth in the tank while you start the siphon. I use a different pump for cleaning gravel since the suction is so strong on this one. Would highly recommend this for frequent water changes.

One of my fondest childhood memories was of my ballerina music/jewelry box (and who knows where that is now?). So, in an effort to live vicariously through my 7 year old, I bought this Lenox Jewelry box. I thought she would grow to appreciate it as she got older but to my surprise it turned out to be her favorite Christmas gift. She filled it with all her treasures and played the music all day long. It's a beautiful piece that I hope holds the silver plate finish. Great price for all the pleasure it brought both of us.

This game was a huge letdown for the PS3, It is filled with bugs, lags, graphics issues, and an overall cartoon grainy feel. The graphics are a downgrade from Modern Warfare 2, which is severely disappointing. I'd rather saved my money and get nickeled and dimed to get a new map pack to MW2.

After spending $30 on a Body glove case that provides better protection then this case I started looking for a nice lightweight case that had cut outs for the power button and volume rocker because I realized that the power button was being damaged with the body glove case. I picked this up at a verizon corporate store and loved the design and color scheme especially in contrast to my white GS3. The case is premium and adds almost no weight or bulk to the slim design of the phone. Whatever It Takes supports 21st Century Leaders Foundation in its work for key global development causes including poverty alleviation, environmental conservation and the protection of children. If you can grab one and protect your amazing GS3 and you'll be supporting a great charity org.

At first glance when i saw this in a store I thought the price was a bit steep but the design and protection that it gives the my amazing Galaxy S3 without adding barely any bulk to the phone makes it worth the price and your white GS3 is still white. I can't understand why someone would buy a white sleek phone and then use a black bulky otterbox case. Body glove all the way.

Using this text in conjuction with "Decisions with Multiple Objectives" by Keeney & Raiffa will give you a good application compliment to K&R theoretical work. Bard is geared to the applications. I used both these texts as part of my doctoral course Management Decisions in Engineering at Kennedy-Western University. It is a powerful combination for an in-depth statistical study of Decision Theory & Application.

The product is good, quiet, and perform as advertised! It works out of the box, without quirks. This is the first time I bought and use such product, so I really don't know what to expect.Things to note, for those clue-less like me or just starting out:a) Follow the operating instructions to the letter.b) Been using it for about 6hours straight, no wetting of the surrounding area like what others are complaining about. Just place it in a nice elevated areac) Virtually silent. You can hear "water droplets", but it is soothing rather than disturbing. In Japan, they even make miniature water-flowing/whooshing machines. However, if you're the type of person who hates such sound, then this one won't please.d) Light/lamp makes it easy to know that the device is working, and prevents accidental dis assembly of the device when plugged-in to the outlete) Open the control to the lowest settings, it produces enough humid as it is alreadyf) Pain to refill as you need to invert the tank to fill it up, then invert back to its normal position to operateVerdict: good product. I took out a star just because of awkward refilling.

Product Build Impression:I haven't used this product for more than a day, hence the "quick look" mention on the title. However, I will be updating my review on my blog as soon as I have enough "playtime" with it: [...] . I will provide tips and tricks and other settings to make this baby a useful piece of hardware.Packaging:The product packaging looks really cheap, very flimsy box. There's no other things inside the packaging except for the product itself, the USB receiver and documentation. This product could have used some styro or plastic to retain the shape of the box. I understand that this product is dirt-cheap, so buyers do get why is paid for.Documentation:The instruction is in English, but it is so badly written, it makes my own English reads and sounds like a genius. I can barely get past the 2nd paragraph, and I gave up trying to understand the documentation after the first few seconds. If you have patience and have a knack for deciphering codes, then understanding what's printed in the documentation may provide some bit of excitement and fun, but as for me, I'm done with it.Product:There are two pieces here, the actual remote and the IR USB receiver.* The "remote" doesn't come with batteries, and it's clear from the get-go that it's not included. Adding the battery is easy and straight-forward, the battery compartment is easy to open and close, and very secure. However, the whole remote feels and screams "cheap". Not that I am complaining, but if this product was indeed sold for $34.99, then I would be very disappointed. As it is priced a lot cheaper, I can't complain much for the build quality. But the product is responsive, I have tested it a couple of feet away and work like a charm. I can't vouch for 18m advertised distance though. The buttons worked as advertised, and the shortcut A, B, C, and D worked nicely too. Entering text and Scrolling is also easy, but takes a bit of getting used to, but it's acceptable considering the price I got this for. And oh, the "switch Window" only works for two Windows. So if you have multiple applications open and would like to "scroll across open applications", this won't work. And one last things, while the tech detail never mentions Win7, this product works with Win7 as well.* As for the USB IR Receiver, I guess it's good since the remote works just as fine. Remember it is an "IR" so line of sight is very much needed.Other things:I just want to comment on shipping and shipping package. I believe that for this device, and its price, the shipping package it comes with is acceptable. The product is not damaged, looks new, and sealed securely. The delivery time is also fast, "two-days free via Amazon Prime"Verdict:This isn't the best "PC remote" out there, but it certainly gets the job done. Again, the buyers gets is paid for in this device. It's not fancy, it's probably not durable as well, but it works fine. I tend to say that it looks ugly actually, but aesthetic aside, the only gripe I have for this device is the window-switching and bad documentation.

This review is two-part, first to Amazon as provider and second, to the product itself. Note that the "star rating" is for the product and not for the provider of the product (in this case, Amazon). This is a quick review, as I just want to let Amazon, and hopefully, Motorolla about the product that I bought.Amazon:First of all, Amazon did an amazing job sending and shipping the product. It's very fast, shipped the day I ordered it and arrived two days after. Thanks Amazon!!!Product: Motorola SURFboard SB6121I purchased this against my gut feelings vs the older sibling SB6120. While I understand that performance wise, it is (technically) similar. After reading many reviews, and checking specs, I found out that the SB6121 and SB6120 uses the same firmware. However, what really enticed me to get this is the fact that it's "greener".However, I am extremely disappointed with the product. It came brand new, sealed, with all the proper documentation and parts. But the modem won't stay "on" and stable for more than 1 minute. The modem will boot up, sync for a few second and then will reboot again. My line is pretty clean, using my current Cisco DPC3000 cable modem, I got -1.2db on downstream power, and 37 SNR on downstream on all 4 channels, and with 49.5db on upstream power. My Cisco modem is stable, no reboot nor reset, but I am paying $7/mo so this has to go. Unfortunately, Motorolla can't even stay still long enough for me to activate the modem at Comcast.The modem will boot up, and I'll be able to load the Comcast activation page, and then it will suddenly reboot. I can't get past the page where I need to enter my account number because the modem would have rebooted by then. Calling Comcast proved futile as well, as they said that they can't get anything useful from their monitoring end. While they see activity, it will quickly go out and that's because the modem keeps rebooting and loosing sync.It may be a faulty power brick, or a faulty modem. Either way, I don't like a faulty brand new equipment. I paid good money and I expect the product to perform as expected.Contacted Amazon for a replacement, here's hoping it will arrive as fast as the original order. If it failed again, I won't be wasting Amazon's stocks anymore and just replace it with the older (and cheaper) SB6120 version.

Update: Sept. 22, 2011I got a visit and call from Comcast last Monday Sept. 19, 2011. After about 6hours, Comcast is able to pair my Cablecard and I am able to configure Win7MC to recognize the three tuners.Initially, I thought I would be running fine and dandy, since I am able to watch both ClearQAM and Premium Channels. I only tested watching one program, just a quick run thru HD channels and Premium HD channels and it was quite fun. I almost returned all my HD boxes but I held on to 1 just in case things aren't going as smoothly as it should be. However, I can't seem to run three tuners at the same time without issues.Win7MC will constantly lose the tuners, all of em, and would product an error (i.e. video conflict error or something). I can also see the tuner still getting "used" and locked up even after terminating the PC that's running Win7MC. And I would also constantly lose some tuners and not be able to watch any channels.My firmware is the latest stable build 2011830. And while SiliconDust seems to be working closely with customers having issues, I just don't want to be a lab rat for their beta software. If and when I flash my firmware, it should be the stable build, because I don't want to fix one issue only to get plagued by another.For $250, this looks like device that was hurried too soon. When it works, it is great. But for the most time, it just can't seem to perform what it is touting: three tuners simultaneously working without issues.I am still doing a lot of tests, I bought a dedicated gigabit switch to wire all my HTPC at home and see if anything will improve. For now, two stars for a slightly working device. If things does not improve, this device will be going back to Amazon.Heres hoping SiliconDust gets their act together and release a final stable build.p.s.I know that there will be hiccups, but I am expecting minor ones and not major ones (i.e. not finding the TV tuner, not allowing to record scheduled shows, etc). I actually expect bigger issue from provider, not from the device itself.==Before anything else, I just want to thank Amazon for speeding up and pulling in my pre-order for this product. It arrived a week (or two) earlier than expected.To Amazon: service, packing, and shipping = 5stars!I understand this review is for the product, but still I just want to put that upfront.As for the product itself, I have installed it for the first time about four hours ago. The documentation is simple, and easy to follow. I went to the website and downloaded the latest software, and use that to install on my Win7 64bit HTPC.The HDHomeRunPrime quickly finds my device, and then updated the firmware. Setting up Win7 MC is the next step, added Digital Cable Advisor (and it says I failed the test, but I bypassed it knowing my HTPC can play HD videos) and updated my Win7 with all MCE-related patches.The box quickly provided me with basic channels, and later on, the HD channels. However, I encountered an issue with Comcast pairing and activating my Cablecard. Im new to this Cablecard thing, so I am not the most knowledgable, but I did get channels and TV listings on Win7MC and I'm watching these channels quite nicely. The issue is that, I can't view some Premium Channels (i.e. HBO, Showtime) and some HD Channels (i.e. CNN HD, HGTV HD, FOOD HD).It took me 3 calls to Comcast before I ended up with someone who actually knows what I'm talking about. The first two agents told me they have activated my Cablecard, but the status still says not active. The third agent though, has provided me with inquiries that makes me more comfortable. The Comcast agent asked for my Cablecard ID, and my Host ID (the first two agents never asked for that). And he (Otis?) told me that when he is pairing the Cablecard, the he's getting an error. Since he can't do it from his side, he just assisted me with sending a technician to my place.So there, as early as this review is done, I am still yet to fully explore its capabilities, features, and subsequently, its flaws and hopefully, work-around and finally fix. I have yet to have the tech visit me on Sunday so I'll update this when I got this up and running 100%.

This product is as advertised: an HP Touchpad case plus a screen protector, hence a review will be given for both. I haven't used this for more than a day, hence the term "Quick Look", so it's more of an initial impression.Screen Protector:It is not best nor even "good" screen protector due to the fact that it comes with a "dent". This dent causes "bubble" when installed, a bubble that can't be removed. However, the dent is near the camera area, and because the HP Touchpad is inside the case, the dent is not seen. Still, it's an obvious flaw, and annoying one.Furthermore, the screen protector came with a rather stupid "protection". There are two "handles" labeled "1" and "2", the "1" has instruction to be "Remove BEFORE applying the protector" and the "2" has the instruction "Remove AFTER applying the protector". I understand that these two tabs is to make the removal of the "protective cover" for the screenguard itself (i.e. so that no finger smudge or any other dirt clings even before applying the screen guard). Unfortunately, the "1" screen won't peel over using the "1" handle, and the handle just got removed while the protector is completely intact. It takes a little "nipping" before I am able to remove the "sticky side". On the other hand, the "2" handle is easy to remove.After installation, it fits just fine and dandy. As with any other screen protection guard, be wary with dust, hair, lint, or any other small dirt in the air. In the event that a dirt clings, just use a scotch tape to remove it.Below is the step I took to install the guard0. Prepare a scotch tape, clean the HP Touchpad completely, with the provided cloth or with HP's cloth.1. Peel the protector "1" halfway and carefully align the screen guard. Don't feel the whole "1".2. Carefully apply the guard to the HP's screen. If any air bubble forms, use the enclosed "paper card" to remove any air bubble.3. If the air bubble won't go away, then lift the guard carefully and this time, apply the scotch tape to the offending area.4. Pull the "1" protector as your carefully work your way applying the whole screen guard.5. Repeat step 2 until the whole screen is covered.6. After the whole screen is covered, it's time to remove the second protector labeled "2" and you're done.Overall, this screen guard works as advertised, with an annoying dent with air-bubble that won't go away. Can't say it's performing best, but HP Touchpad is still responsive before and after the application of the screen guard.Case:The case looks "cheap", but this is a matter of personal preference. But at this price, I am not expecting anything elegant. "Got what I paid for" will be a match, but I'd say, I'm impressed with the quality. I can go as much as to say that it looks good than what I was expecting it to be, considering the price. Don't get me wrong, I won't call it cheap as I own a $7 "Leather Case" (no-name), but compared to other case out there, this one is "relatively affordable". I always hated case (leather or otherwise) priced above $15. However, I got this case because:a) It functions as a standb) Red colored rather than "formal" (i.e. boring) blackc) Comes with a protector screenIf it is missing the screen guard, I won't buy this. Considering the cheapest screen guard I've seen costs $5, then this case comes really close to be the most affordable I've seen offered online. And with free shipping, I can even say it's a steal like HP TouchPad for $149 for 32GB.During my first use, the only gripe I have with this case is that it makes touching the Touchpad's screen a little harder. If HP comes with a "gesture" way to get to the homescreen, then this will be a perfect case.Conclusion:With a decent screen guard, and a functioning case, this product is decent. The reasons why it never garnered 5 stars are:a) Dent on screen guardb) Hard-to-press HomescreenWhile I'd say that the dent is a total deal breaker, but the fact that it's not seen makes the annoyance a lot lesser. However, the hard-to-press Homescreen is not as easy to forget and forced me to make it 3 stars (2 misses = 2 less stars). But for the price, it gets a bonus star, ending me with four stars.Hope this helps future buyers...

Years ago I caught "Henry V" on television and was blown away by the entire presentation, but what moved me most was the "Non Nobis Domine" hymn after the Battle of Agincourt. It stayed with me thru the years and when my wife and I were helping my daughter to plan her wedding in 2006, I mentioned the score. Neither had seen the movie, so I bought the soundtrack, and they were brought to tears...and neither had even seen the movie to fully understand it's impact!!!.. .Needless to say, the hymn was used for the main entrance theme for the bridesmaids and my daughter and was sung by a 40 member boy's choir...this score has to be the most moving composition I have ever heard...this CD is a must!

I read a lot about this camera before I purchased it. Apparantly I didn't read enough. All in all it's a great camera. Pretty fast shooting, big LCD, 8.1MP, and easy to use. Shooting at night with the flash leaves something to be desired. The aperature it shoots at when the flash is on, f2.8, is way to wide for shooting in dark with a flash. Which means you'll see a lot of out of focus pictures unless the subject doesn't move much and you get a good focus on them.

While this volume may be a well-researched study of life in Elizabethan England, "Will in the World" is a testament to pure speculation. A compendium of qualifying phrases, it aptly demonstrates why the authorship question persists. Rather than developing a convincing argument, the scope of Greenblatt's fantasies about the man from Stratford only strengthen the doubt that he actually wrote these jewels of literature.That there is no mention of the authorship question is clearly disingenuous.

One can never go home again, wrote novelist Thomas Wolfe, though he could never have anticipated the degree of metaphysical truth that would permeate the statement as envisioned by Rudolfo Anaya.In his latest novel, Randy Lopez Goes Home, Mr. Anaya weaves together an hypnotic fantasy of images from the many archetypal themes of his earlier writings: the golden carp; los Matachines; the time of the mestizo; and of course La Llorona.Randy returns to his home village of Agua Bendita in Northern New Mexico after living for years in gringoland (or more politically correct but just as inaccurately, Angloland. "Political correctness" is fair game throughout.) Not only does he not recognize it (nor it him), but he finds the town in an eccentric time warp where past, present and future merge and where the entire world is reflected in a charmingly idiosyncratic kaleidoscope of historical figures. Superficially it is a nickel tour through world mythology, yet the characters and concepts that appear are chosen with precision contributing to a stream of symbols that easily turns philosophic.Randy's search is not just for his roots but for something real in his own personality and his culture. His quest becomes a dialectic of science and legend--that one need not get lost in the other, that they are both knowledge but gained by different methods, each richer for the other. He discovers cultural identities lost to social homogenization--a world of ubiquitous blue jeans communicated through I-pods, a world where everything that was once lived has becomes its own re-presentation.Randy (also called the young man named after three saints whose names no one remembers) in his quest building a bridge to reach his Sofia, the beloved Anime, strives almost inadvertently against the triumph of ignorance, the celebration of close-mindedness, sadly as insidious as ever in the world of today. His sidekick Oso, the dachshund, offers rare but short, pithy comments on the situation, always right on target.Like Leopold Bloom, Randy explores the streets of his town in what becomes a journey through an iconographic landscape where the end is the road itself. Writing during the period of his wife's hospice, Mr. Anaya has created a multi-dimentional (as well as metaphorical) bridge that connects myriad realities in which past, like or present or perhaps even future, is as much "here" as it is "there." In this imaginary microcosm conflict of cultures becomes illumination rather than antagonism.Mr. Anaya's deceptively simple prose can remind one of Wm Blake such as his Songs of Innocence & Experience where the seemingly naive language creates images of profound beauty and wisdom. Indeed some of the work seems to echo Blake not only in language but in idea. After pointing out the ignorance of the adults, "The child moved away, like a cloud without a home." The novel is generous with quotable aphorisms, such as "Stasis could be a definition of hell, " rich in literary allusion, and teeming with irony and paradox: "She had studied the map of the heavens by living rooted in nature."And there is humor throughout. "Oso briefly thought of following Cleopatra. She smelled like pepperoni pizza."But for all the obstacles Randy encounters, dissembling politicians, immoral ideologies passing as practical wisdom, La Muerta (the old bitch in drag), this is a story of the triumph of the human spirit, life's ultimate magic.

We've owned this urn for a few years and have used it numerous times. Before we bought it we had borrowed one from a friend. That experience sold us on this model. It's very easy to use and easy to clean (not sure why other reviewers had trouble with cleaning). Highly recommended.

This movie is extremely agreeable and has some of the big lines of "gone with the wind". Bette plays as always remarquably, but I like her best in her movies of the forties! I think she should have gotten the award in other movies such as Dark Victory or "bon Voyager" instead of this one!

I rated this movie 4 stars only because, while being a very big fan of Bette Davis, I found the story of this movie a bit too "soap Opera". I love Bette most when she plays more profond and serious roles like in the "The Corn is Green". I found the later absolutely exceptional.

It is charming as well as realistic. It describes middle class family effervescence before a wedding! At one point, when her daughter refused to have a big wedding, Bette replied" You are going to have a big wedding and if you don't like it you don't have to come!" The character of her Cabby husband is very touching but as always it is Bette who makes it a great movie!
