A musical set in the Prohibition-era American South, where a speakeasy performer and club manager Rooster must contend with gangsters who have their eyes on the club while his piano player and partner Percival must choose between his love, Angel or his obligations to his father. The movie telegraphs plot twists rather than foreshadowing them, there are flashes of brilliance. These are two astonishingly talented men (Andre and Big Boi) and simply as a showcase for that talent, this movie succeeds. If you just sit down and let the movie wash over you, you will enjoy.

I actually made it through this book to the end despite all its faults. I’m astonished at how much positive hype this book has received. I might give it 2 stars for the compelling concept, if it had not received so many unwarranted 5 star reviews. The dialogue is cute to the point of trite, character depth and development is cardboard thin at best and placement of the book believably in its time and place is virtually non-existent. In an interview at the back of the book the author mentions being a technical writer for tech firms. This is clear in the brittle, if well intentioned characters.

What a deal! I don’t think you can find a better cable for the price. It works like it’s supposed to and I’ve had no issues.

I bought this model GPS 305 because it claimed to have better satellite range and reception, every run I used it on, I kept loosing the satellite, the pace per mile would jump from 9-10 min. miles to 2-4 min. miles. It would give me the average pace per mile, but not the max pace per mile, this was a replacement for the GPS 205 that I had, which never gave me any trouble. I will probably go back to the 205.

Add me to the list of purchasers who report using the card for a limited amount of time–in this case for about a month and perhaps five or six separate days of shooting video–and then having it fail. Would advise potential customers to choose a different manufacturer.
Prayer of the Heart

I researched vaccuums for about 2 hours before deciding on this one. I wanted a bagged vaccuum b/c it seemed that the bagless created more mess when you empty them and a lot of them have expensive HEPA filters to replace. I wanted to spend less than $100 also. I decided to play the odds and get this vaccuum. So far I have only used it once, but it works amazing. It sucks stuff up powerfully on my laminate floors and on my high-pile area rugs. You can even change the level of the vaccuum based on the floor type. When you select high pile, it’s easy to vaccuum flimsy area rugs. I am very VERY happy with my purchase and just hope that it keeps up for the next few years. I definitely recommend this vaccuum. It is lightweight, easy to put together, and overall really easy to use.

Pro Digital Hard Lens

My family travels a lot internationally, so I wanted a scale to weigh the luggages are within airline limits of 50 lb. The product served the purpose and showed the weight very close or same as the airline scale at the check-in. Will look forward to its accuracy as the product ages.

Advantage:
- no on-off switch
- auto-calibration
- shows the final weight for 2-3 sec, so you can step down and still check the value registered (in case you have a big belly)

Note: I didn’t read the box/instructions carefully and ended up buying new batteris for this, but the product comes with 4 AAA size batteries, hidden in the box.

My 11-month old son received a lot of toys for Christmas but you could see by his expression that this one stood out. He immediately grabbed the box and wanted to play with them. They are still his favorites and he gets so excited whenever he sees me bringing them out for him! He hasn’t figured out how to stack them yet, but he loves the shapes & colors. I never would have thought this little toy would be such a big hit!
