Rated 2 Stars"Won't stay in my ears" 2007-07-18
Perhaps my ears are small on the inside or something, but these headphones WILL NOT stay in them! I'm constantly pressing on them to stay in, but no good. I've had them for about 3 days now, and will be looking for different ones.

I bought this reader to download pics from the SD card in my Nikon D80, and save camera battery power. It's small, light, and does the job great. It also reads the microSD card from my cellphone. Just what I wanted!

Rated 4 Stars"Very cool!" 2004-07-27
Works as advertised. Within 5 to 10 minutes of putting the chiller around a bottle of chardonnay, the wine was pleasantly cool enough to drink. It kept the wine cool as well. The design is cute, and it takes up very little space in our freezer.


Creative Labs Muvo NX 256 MB MP3 PlayerCreative Labs Muvo NX 256 MB MP3 Player
Rated 4 Stars"Perfect Workout Companion!" 2003-12-22
Pros: Tiny player with great sound, features like shuffling and EQ, lightweight, easy to set up and copy music or files
Cons: Buttons may be too small for bigger fingers, one AAA battery life only about 5-6 hours, included ear buds are dinky

I already own a CD MP3 player, which is fine for most applications except when I'm at the gym. It's too big and it skips whenever you move. So I really wanted one of the new tiny players. My wonderful boyfriend got me this player for a birthday present.

It is super simple to set up; just install the Creative software, plug the player into an empty USB port, and you'll be copying files in no time! I can either drag and drop from my folders, or create a playlist in Windows Media Player and copy it automatically. It also holds any kind of file. I've used it to copy photos from my laptop to my home PC.

The sound is terrific. I like to turn up the volume fairly high, so that probably eats into the battery life. I was pleased to find out that I can randomly shuffle files, skip folders, or maneuver around my songs any way I like. I can also set the EQ to boost the sound even more.

I find the buttons easy to use, but someone with thicker fingers might not like it as much. Just rock the slider back and forth to move from song to song. The attractive and readable display shows you the time elapsed and any MP3 tags included in your file.

The included belt clip is very secure and slides into the included armband. I've only used the armband once, but I noticed a funny rubbery smell on my arm after working out. Could be because it's new!

I have not yet tried rechargeable batteries with the player, but a normal alkaline battery lasts about 5 or 6 hours. That's certainly long enough for any intense workout, or a 2 or 3-hour flight, but I don't want to have to keep changing batteries. Two colored battery "skins" are included, blue and gray. (You can also buy more skins via the Creative website for about $8-10 apiece.) You could either swap the player out to a different color and match your outfit, or keep a battery in each skin and use the alternate skin as a backup.

I also bought new sports-style headphones because I found the included earbuds to be totally useless.

Overall I love this little gadget! It's exactly what I needed in an attractive usable extra-light package. Thanks, sweetie!

Rated 4 Stars"Delicious and nutritious recipes for your favorite tastes!" 2003-09-08
This is a super cookbook! My boyfriend and I love spicy food: Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Indian. But we also want to eat healthy and lose weight. (I'm doing Weight Watchers Online.) This book satisfies our need for "take-out"-flavored food but with lower calories and saturated fat. We just had the Shrimp Pad Thai for dinner tonight, and it's terrific! So many lowfat recipes taste bland, but the pad Thai had a great kick from the chili sauce. All the recipes make at least 4 servings, so we have plenty of leftovers for healthy lunches! So we save money on dining out too! This is a great value. Finally, there are many recipes for appetizers that make a whole lot of servings, so I can make tasty hors d'oeuvres that I can eat without guilt! This book is great for anyone who wants to enjoy great-tasting lowfat food. Enjoy!

Rated 4 Stars"Filled in a gap!" 2003-09-05
I had read a couple of books about Elizabeth I, and some about Henry VIII, but I did not know a whole lot about the time between Henry's death and before Elizabeth's accession. This book satisfactorily filled in that gap for me! Covers everything from young King Edward's reign through the intrigue that nearly got Elizabeth beheaded, the brief reign of the unfortunate Jane Grey, and Bloody Mary's years on the throne. The pace is very quick, and it's so interesting that it reads more like a novel. This is one of my favorite historical books on my shelf, and I've reread it more than once.

Rated 4 Stars"Great starter wine rack" 2003-07-31
I got this for my boyfriend to house his fledgling wine collection. The pieces snap together and are very secure once assembled. You wouldn't want to hang it on the wall, but we have a pyramid of six of them on top of the fridge, and one inside the fridge to safely chill a bottle of wine. For the price, it can't be beat.

Rated 4 Stars"Very thorough!" 2003-06-18
I kind of expected this to be in the style of Joe Bob's Drive-In books, but it's in a more serious vein. Joe Bob writes about the technical aspects of each film and the cultural atmosphere surrounding each release. It's actually rather scholarly, or at least as scholarly as a book written about films like ILSA, SHE-WOLF OF THE SS can be. Good job!

Rated 4 Stars"Really seems to help!" 2003-04-22
I was recently diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, and I started following the nutritional suggestions in this book. I think it's already starting to help! Plus it tells you how to perform strengthening exercises for your aching joints. I am a big fan of Dr. Nelson's other works. I like how she explains the science and the applications. I plan to share this with my mom, who also has osteoarthritis.

Rated 2 Stars"Hard to follow" 2003-04-22
I enjoyed the parts of the book about the four friends and their strange powers, but once Kurtz and his crew came on board, it got hard to follow. It took a long time for the storylines to mesh. The dialogue is Big Steve at his best, but I think the Duddits stuff was a little overdone.

Rated 4 Stars"Sensible easy-to-read advice on how to eat well" 2002-01-16
Tired of counting calories, making cabbage soup? Tired of eating high-protein, low-fat, no-fat? Are you now so completely confused by what to feed your family that you run screaming from the supermarket? Take a deep breath and read this book! Dr. Nelson answers your questions thoroughly, like are high-protein diets healthy and are carbs bad for you? Complex topics (like the glycemic index) that can really help you are explained fully. An invaluable book!

The third and final chapter in the life and times of that charming psychopath, Prime Minister Francis Urquhart. The end of his career is drawing nigh, and he's haunted by ghosts (not only Mattie Storin who perished so sadly in the first installment, but also a pair of young Cypriot soldies during Francis' military service). But he musters his strength for one last battle for the leadership of the party. Can he solidify his place in British history? F.U. has proved that he can do whatever he sets his mind to.

Incredibly funny and heartbreaking tale of how one funny young poof became a funny young man. I laughed out loud, much to the consternation of the other passengers on the train. Enjoy!
