We saw the live performance in December and had to have the blu-ray! Nothing replaces a live show, but the close-ups and various camera angles fill in what we missed with our mid-priced seats. One disappointment, there are never enough bonus tracks and extras, so if you’re looking for more information or background on the performers, you’ll be left wanting.
STOMP Live
Bought two of these back around Christmas hooked up to my satellite receiver and 360. 1080p quality. No problems since then. Best value I can find out there for HDMI cables. Drives me up the wall with any cable or component when they are overpriced (as well as puzzles me why so many people out there just buy over priced items). I loved the two I bought last year so much I just bought five more! Also, the discussions and many, many other reviews for this are spot on regarding demystifying HDMI cables.

Wii system is very user friendly. Easy setup, easy to use. My husband and I are
fifty-something and we’re having a ball with our Wii.

Kathryn Stockett wrote an interesting book that would most likely be more affective as a movie than it was as a book. The plot lines in “The Help” explore tensions in the 1960s between caucasians and African Americans and the anti- and pro-segregation caucasians. The tensions play out in familial, romantic, and social relationships.
Stockett uses dialogue to tell her story without adding much narration to supplement the dialogue. As a result, her characters lack depth. This made it difficult to empathize with the three main characters, even though they all had many admirable qualities and suffered to make their own stories and the stories told by other African American maids heard in a perilous time.
“The Help” reminded me of the terrible segregation policies once deemed legal and moral in the Southern United States. It also reminded me of the brutality used to keep these policies alive. However, I think the impact of Stockett’s message would be better conveyed in a movie than by reading the hundreds of pages of dialogue in her book.

I would purchase from this seller again. I have already read this book, but who can get enough. The book is in great condition and arrived on time.

Tell Me What To
I used for the first time and my hardwood floors were very dirty esp. in the high traffic areas- it did a fantastic job, the floors looked just like new when I was done. I could not believe all of the dirt and grime that came up on the pads. The assembly was super easy, less than 20 min and using the steamer was very straighforward and easy. I could tell when the floors were clean because the steamer easily glides across as opposed to having to use “elbow grease” to push the steamer across the boards when they were dirty. I would recommend easily to anyone who is on the fence with their decision or just deciding if they want to buy a cleaner. I will be tackling all of the tiled areas next along with mattress and some of the bedding using the attachment. I am very happy with the purchase

Not a bad book, considering it gives you the fundamentals of a variety of topics well covered in network programming. It is the only source of its kind I have found to address network programming without being almost exclusively tied to web development. I looked at it in light of it’s C# orientation (because I’m a VB.NET developer), and found a lot of good basic coverage. Bewarned: If you are not an intermediate programmer, whether C# or VB.NET, it will take a little to get up to speed. The style is not bad – surprising, given the number of authors, and you CAN learn from it. I give it actually a 4.2-4.5, but I can’t give it quite the 5-star rating.

Shipping was more than the cables. HDMI is HDMI. Image and sound quality is excellent. I got these for my new 50″ LG Plasma. I got a few extra because of the price. $.07 each. You are losing money if you don’t buy them.

Very quiet hard drive if it was not for vibration noises generated by the poor assembly of the housing. Western Digital only offered replacement with a refurbished (or re-certified how they call it) unit, leaving the costs for shipping back the defective unit with the end user. Moreover, Western Digital also claims that it is the responsibility of the reseller to replace the unit within the first 30 days after purchase anyway. Beach Camera, my reseller here on Amazon, however, did not respond to my request for a replacement so far…
