 | Cry, the Beloved Country (Oprah's Book Club) | |
 | "South Africa - 60 Years Past" | 2007-09-01 |
| Although this book is about 60 years old I just read it for the 1st time. It is a keeper and a treasure. It is a book that you will want to revisit often at least for awhile. I find the book to be filled with spiritual messages. You will see the making of aparthaid long before it was abolished. The story itself is quite suspenseful and Paton's writing style is unique. I like it. | ||

 | Gidget Goes Hawaiian | |
| "Deborah Walley's Best Movie" | 2006-09-04 |
| This movie is terrific on many levels. It is very well written. The dialogue and timing are exquisite. It is the best Gidget movie and it is also Deborah Walley's best movie. Seeing Hawaii about 50 years ago is also a real treasure. The music is fun and the dancing is great. The young love with Gidget and others is very realistic. It will make you want to be young again and in love in the 50s and 60s. This is a movie which you can watch again and again. It just gets better. That is very unusual for a movie. If you are young or if you are old and dream of being young again don't miss this one. | ||
 | Boyzone - Where We Belong | |
| "Great Harmony" | 2006-05-19 |
| I discovered this group on an Andrew Lloyd Webber live concert. My favorite song is "No Matter What" - It is a very catchy tune. I don't think this group has ever performed in the USA. I wonder why. | ||
| Simon:Live From Martha's Vineyard | |
| "Mesmerizing On The Waterfront In Martha's Vineyard 19 Yrs Ago" | 2006-02-08 |
| This is a live concert that you will listen to again and again. Each time that you listen it just gets better. It is a wonderful concert on the waterfront with Carly in her prime 19 years ago. The song list is incredible as is the performance: Give Me The Night Anticipation You Have To Hurt You're So Vain Do The Walls Come Down Two Hot Girls It Happens Every Day Nobody Does It Better All I Want Is You The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of You Belong To Me Coming Around Again (Itsy Bitsy Spider) Never Been Gone This video includes an exclusive behind the scenes interview with Carly Simon. Running time is 65 minutes. It is a truly captivating hour of brillance. At the time in 1987 it was her first live performance in 7 years. | ||
 | Our Favorite Things - Christmas in Vienna | |
| "Deserves Higher Reviews - Great Holiday Music" | 2005-10-16 |
| This VHS video and stereo sound are high quality. Church and Domingo are just terrific. Bennett is off a little, but still gives an excellent performance. You will be able to watch and listen to the video again and again. There are over 20 great holiday songs performed live. So much great music is offered including a children's choir. Vanessa Williams does a solid job. | ||
 | Breaking Free | |
| "Family Friendly & A Very Moving Film" | 2005-08-28 |
| I finished viewing this film about 30 minutes ago. It was very moving, inspirational and I was deeply touched by the courage and messages of this film. It deals with courage over blindness, love and treatment of animals, and faith and belief in the goodness of human beings. | ||
 | Wrongly Convicted: Perspectives on Failed Justice | |
| "Shocking, Shocking" | 2005-06-28 |
| Due to destructive motives such as the desire of a prosecutor to win a case at any cost, desire of the public for revenge and desire of the police to close a case with any likely candidate, many innocent persons are convicted of crimes in which they have no connection whatsoever. It is worse to convict an innocent person than it is to let a guilty person go free. However, our system, and many people serving on juries act as if it is worse to let a guilty person go free than it is to convict an innocent person. It is impossible to understand why juries convict persons who might possibly be innocent. If the juror could stand in the shoes of an innocent person being wrongly convicted, how could that juror ever let this happen. | ||
| Van Gogh: A Retrospective | |
| "True Value With Hundreds of Van Gogh Plates" | 2005-06-28 |
| Don't miss this one. Cover price is $75 and worth every penny. Now available on the Amazon Marketplace for just a few dollars. All of Van Gogh's best work with hundreds of full-color plates. | ||
 | The Carpenters - Gold: Greatest Hits | |
| "Fantastic - Full Length & All Music - This Is The One To Own" | 2005-06-26 |
| Great childhood pictures of Karen and her brother. This video is non-stop music combined with photos and videos from the past. Especially for those who heard the Carpenters on the radio day after day, this video is a real treat. | ||
 | SHARP AFR60DX 6000 BTU Energy Star Air Conditioner | |
| "Very Pleased With Sharp & With This Exact Model" | 2005-06-25 |
| I am very satisfied with this exact model Sharp AFR60DX air conditioner. I am very happy with it and, in general, find it to be the best window air conditioner that I have ever had. I have one in the kitchen and one in a bedroom. It is 95 degrees outside and yet the house in the late afternoon and early evening - the hottest time of day in a house - is still only at 75 degrees. This exact model has been around for at least 3 or 4 years, probably more time. It is very durable as is evidenced by the continuation of the model number this long period of time. I would have to disagree with the other reviewer. For a 6000 BTU unit it is quiet. I am able to enjoy live concerts on DVD and VHS within 5 feet of the unit without the noise being a distraction. I think that speaks for itself. | ||
 | Charlotte Church - Enchantment (From Cardiff, Wales) | |
| "Sweet, Exciting, Wonderful Live Concert" | 2005-06-25 |
| Available in VHS or DVD this live concert is absolutely terrific. You can save some money with the VHS version if you wish as it is produced full quality in hi-fi stereo. It is almost 2 hours in length - a real treat. Charlotte and her beautiful voice are stunning. Apparently most Americans are not aware of this terrific video since it has not been reviewed in about 2 years. Rest assured, I think it would be almost impossible for you to be disappointed with this live concert. Please, please enjoy this terrific performance by Charlotte, guests and the orchestra. | ||
 | How Patriotic is the Patriot Act: Freedom Versus Security in the Age of Terrorism | |
| "The Most Precious Thing We Have Is Our Freedom" | 2005-06-19 |
| America is about our freedom. It is the most important thing we have. The slogan on the New Hampshire license tells how very important our freedom is. It reads "Live Free or Die." If the American people allow fear to change their thinking - it will be a very sad day. Fear of terrorism could very well be far more dangerous to us than actual terrorism. The tragedy of 9/11 is far more than the terrible suicide attack of that day. The greatest tragedy could be in our own hands. If the American people give up their freedoms to the government for the illusion of safety from terrorism it would be a huge tragedy. The worst terrorism in history has always been committed by out-of-control governments such as what happened in Russia and Germany in the last 100 years. American People, do not ever give up your freedoms to the government such as some of the provisions in the patriot act that give away your freedom. The entire vitality of the American experience has been and always will be, if we are to stay vital, the placing of individual freedom as the most important value in the land. No amount of marginal illusionary additional security gained by giving up our freedoms could ever be worth it as we would watch the destruction of the vitality of our land. | ||
 | Sharp 6000 BTU Library Quiet Remote Control Compact Air Conditioner - AFR60DX | |
| "Sharp 6000 BTU Library Quiet Window Air Conditioner" | 2005-06-13 |
| This is an excellent unit. I have 3 of them. They are attractive, durable, powerful and quiet. For me, one unit is strong enough to cool the kitchen, dining room and half of the living room. I believe that Sharp makes the best window air conditioner available. The only thing that I do not like about it are the plastic extenders to fill-in the window opening. Therefore, I do not use them. Instead, I simply close the opening with white cardboard. | ||
 | 6 MONTH Frontline PLUS Purple for Dogs 45-88 lbs | |
| "The Best There Is!" | 2005-06-13 |
| Frontline Plus is the best way to keep fleas and ticks off your dog. It is applied once per month in about 3 minutes. It seems to have little or no side effects on the dog. It has been used for many years on dogs without problems. I checked all products and asked various vets and everyone agrees that Frontline Plus is the best way to keep ticks and fleas off your dog. The Plus even kills the flea eggs. | ||
 | When Going Through Hell Don't Stop: A Survivor's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Clinical Depression | |
| "Thank God For This Book" | 2005-06-13 |
| Thank God for this book. I am going through hell with anxiety and clinical depression. This book has coping strategies. I think most readers know something about clinical depression. Yet it is the combination of clinical depression and anxiety that is so devestating. This book attacks the combination. The hardest part is that one can't stop when in this sickness. The only solution is to keep going. Hence, the perfect title for this book which is "When Going Through Hell, Don't Stop." If one stops, then one drowns in the condition. | ||
 | Unhealthy Societies: The Afflictions of Inequality | |
| "Brilliant - It Is Not The Wealth In America That Matters" | 2005-06-12 |
| It is not the wealth in America that matters for health, quality of life and wise thinking. What matters in a blessed society is how the wealth is distributed. Even in a very wealthy country as in America, uneven and idiotic distribution of the wealth is leading to corruption of CEOs and large corporations, disintegration of health care delivery, and unbelievable amounts of misery in families where husband and wife have to both work to survive. It used to be that one spouse worked outside the home and the other spouse worked inside the home available for the raising of children. With all of the wealth in America, the healthcare delivery system is one of the most inefficient and corrupt delivery systems one could even imagine. Without good preventice and curative healthcare for Americans the country will fail and it will be a completely avoidable tragedy caused by raw greed. By far the number one priority for America should be quality healthcare for all Americans not based on social standing, who you know, or the money in your bank account. | ||
 | Under Texas Skies | |
 | "Taped In Extended Play Mode" | 2005-06-10 |
| Instead of taping in standard play, Republic Pictures Home Video has taped this VHS in lower quality extended play mode. Black & White approx. 54 minutes. Exactly as pictured. | ||
 | Philips HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator (AED) | |
| "Lifesaving Devices" | 2005-05-31 |
| Sudden heart stoppage is a common cause of death. CPR and defibrillation are techniques that can start the heart again and give the patient time to get needed help at a hospital. This unit is an external defibrillator that can start the heart with the help of another trained person who is available immediately within a few minutes to intervene and start the heart again. All persons should see their doctor to have the risk evaluated. In addition to the the external defibrillator there are also implanted defibrillators available. Only a medical professional can advise you what is best. There is a definite advantage to the implanted defibrillators in that they act automatically without the immediate intervention of another person. | ||
 | Transgender Nation | |
| "Gender Is The Mine Field That We Pass Through Everyday" | 2005-05-28 |
| The American society polarizes the genders in many different and harmful ways. The polarization has roots in our massive merchandising economy, our religions, our fears, our ignorance and more. Males and females are so polarized in our society that it is truly a tragedy. Actually, males and females are very much the same people who have been exposed to various varying hormone baths starting early in the womb. Some of these hormone baths are natural and some are manmade. In simple terms it is testosterone vs. estrogen. We all have both hormones, but in varying concentrations. After birth we make our own hormones based on our genetic codes and on our exposure to environmental factors. Our gender characteristics are on a continuum. Only a few of us are the "perfect" male or the "perfect" female. The tremendous polarization in our society is acting as if there was no continuum. As we all try to fit in to our place in this polarization we may face many challenges of clinical depression, self esteem and self identity. In the United States one's gender is all too often determined by one's anatomical sex, no matter how ambiguous it might happen to be. From birth we are bombarded with gender propaganda that supports a regressive dual gender system pitting the sexes (genders) against one another. Transgender Nation looks at the male to female journey some people take as they try to find their place on the continuum. One example of our society's polarizing the genders is that restrooms in our society are almost always polarized into men and women. This is even done in the many restrooms where only one person enters at a time so privacy is not an issue. Making these private restrooms male or female is just one sad example of how our society polarizes the genders. | ||
