Merrick Thanksgiving Dinner Day series

What an awesome product.
Received my Kindle in South Africa, extremely quickly after ordering (thanks Amazon), eagerly ripped the packaging apart and literally tried for 3 minutes to carefully remove the picture that was “pasted” on the screen!!!!!…….only to discover that it was a screen displayed picture :) Seeing is believing. Screen resolution is awesome to say the least.

Since then I haven’t looked back, I’ve already ordered and read about 35 books in the few months that I’ve owned this product.

Don’t, however, believe everything that they say about this Kindle:
1) the battery does NOT last for two weeks with the wireless switched off – it lasts longer!
2) reading in direct sunlight…..OK…..it really works!
3) easy to download new books…nope…WAY too easy……my credit card is taking strain :)
4) ……now my mom wants to claim it for herself…….will probably have buy her one for Xmas / Birthday.

To Amazon – awesome product – awesome service – Thank You.

Details about George Day D Stevens

Adding color film like these to the grainy black-and-white images that have become the public memory of World War II is illuminating. These are original color films, not colorized black and white films. The war in color is how people who were there saw and lived the war.

Yet the color footage is mostly of the photographers themselves, the ones who spent 99% of their time shooting the black-and-white footage we often remember or that serves as our memories of the war. There is some shocking footage of dead bodies, Dachau, and destruction. There is even more footage of mundane scenes of jeeps, soldiers, scenery, cities, and ceremonial meeting sin Paris and on the Elbe. And there are plenty of shots of the film crew shaving, eating, meeting dignitaries, opening Christmas presents, and looking like a bunch of buddies on a fishing trip. The narrator explains who the men were and what they did later, making them – not he soldiers — the feature players of the story. These home movies at times separate us from the war and the men who fought the war. This dilutes the power of the message and of the memory.

This is a nice way to revive memories and to honor the service of the men who defeated the Nazis. But this DVD is short, superficial, overhyped, and oversold.

Valentines Day Gift watch out

I bought this pedometer about 18 months ago. I’ve been using it regularly and have had no problems. Battery life is about 6 months or so and the batteries are easy to get. The nicest feature (to me) is that it doesn’t make noise — the mechanical pedometers click with each step, this is completely silent. It is pretty accurate — if you wear your pants lower than the natural waist, it might miss a few steps — also if you walk very smoothly, it will miss steps. Yes, it does work when I stick in in a pocket in my purse.
