reviewed Rosetta Stone. November 12, 2010
Rosetta Stone
Rosetta Stone software is far and away the best tool for learning a language (I own and have tried dozens of other brands).  Rosetta Stone really does use an excellent technique for teaching you …

Middle-earth
"Middle Earth" is a well thought out landscape brought to life in Tolkien's books. Be sure to buy the "Atlas of Middle Earth" (by Karen Fonstad) if you really enjoy getting into the details. Brian Sibley's …

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
One of the best stories and movies of all time. Just make sure you get the extended edition DVD. The "extra" material should never have been left out of these. Rarely does a movie live up to a book, especially …

Fresh Aire
Fresh Aire (Volume I) is perhaps the best music ever created. Of course it requires playing on a very good sound system to appreciate the resonance of the low notes which can only be felt and not heard. …

Woolite Dry Cleaner's Secret Fragrance Free
This product is easy to use. The directions are nice, simple and printed on each packet. The results are unimpressive but "ok".    My concern is the claim of being "non-toxic". I checked …

Single-Camera Video Production, Fifth Edition
Who is the target audience for this book? If I had to describe what I feel is the correct target audience for this book I would say: "someone who is in junior high, who is interested in becoming a professional …

Selling the Fountain of Youth: How the Anti-Aging
{sigh}    To quote Weintraub: "I could not have wrapped my brain around this topic without the help of many academicians". Clearly Weintraub is writing about a subject which she does …
reviewed Bop It Bounce. August 07, 2010
Bop It Bounce
The voice announcing on this toy is very annoying. It needs a volume control.    Overall this seems like a very boring activity. It's not very good for indoor usage. An old time paddle …

Thule TTTO-4 Black Large Trunk Organizer

reviewed The Crazies (2010). June 23, 2010
The Crazies (2010)
For a horror movie, "The Crazies" has reasonable acting and a plausible explanation for the people going crazy (becoming zombies). The pace was good, not too frantic and not plodding or slow.    The …

Quality Park Reveal-N-Seal Envelope, #10, 4.25 x
These are good basic envelopes. The self seal design is good for one at a time usage. (a bit clumsy and not conducive to fast office work on a bulk mailing) The weight is a little bit lighter than I expected, …
