Hobby Farms Magazine
And Now For Something Completely Different: “Hobby Farms” Magazine Is Too Specific And Addy.
by wlswarts
Pros: Glossy, Looks good, Decent photography
Cons: Completely esoteric, Expensive, Shockingly addy
I like to look into things that are completely new-to-me from time to time. As a result, with magazines, I try to find ones that are completely outside my experiences to peruse to see just how clear, interesting and engaging they are. Today, I went to ...

Pros: Great use of characters; easy to follow and understand; good illustrations
Cons: None
Big Bird is big while Little Bird is little (yes, there is a Little Bird). When looking at the both of them side-by-side, it's evident that they are not the same. Big Bird is not only big but he is tall; Little Bird is little and short. It is safely ...

Over the past week, I’ve been scouring Netflix for Christmas movies and have come up with a few, most of which I’ve never heard of. Last night’s oddball film was a little 2001 animated flick called Nine Dog Christmas. The one ...

Kustom Kpc15 15" PA Speaker Cabinet with Horn
Kustom KPC15: Great speaker for a great price
by roo20
Pros: Good responce on high and low frequencies, built tuff, clean sound, pole mount.
Cons: The sound quality and loudness are obviously not equal to high end speakers.
I bought a pair of these Kustom speakers years ago, and have never regretted it. I payed $110 a speaker, an awesome deal, though the price has gone up now they are still a great buy. Construction: These speakers are built well. I've played ...

Pros: Louis’ up-beat and fun renditions of standard pop tunes
Cons: Some occasionally overheated shtick  
“Baby, baby, looks like it’s gonna hail!” Bouncing about with swing beats, Dixieland brass, and a raspy boom-boom voice, Louis Prima jumps, jives and wails, his pepped-up orchestra, featuring saxophonist Sam Butera and the Witnesses, ...

10th Kingdom
The 10th Kingdom - Joy!
by ssjakira1
Pros: Acting, adult fairy tales, different, downright fun
Cons: A few hokey moments (but those can't really be helped)
Back when I was, yikes, about 15 or so, Hallmark put together a miniseries that aired on NBC called The 10th Kingdom.  I, like so many other girls, fell in love with Wolf and the whole story (as if I needed anything else to tantalize me when it ...

Hariet Ziefert - Snow Party
The Snowpeople Come out to Play in Harrier Zieffert and Mark Jones' Snow Party
by bilbopooh
Pros: wonderful illustrations
Cons: seems a bit of a retread of The Snowman
Snowpeople are popular subjects of wintertime tales. Sometimes, they just stand where they were created, not doing much of anything. But some authors afford them the opportunity to have a wonderful time, especially when humans aren’t looking. ...

Pros: celebration of creativity and neighborliness
Cons: extremely didactic, some snowpeople are structurally unsound
Yesterday, I looked out the window to see a stinging blast of snow pelting the ground. The shower was brief, and the flakes melted before the ground could be coated. But it’s a sure sign that winter is on the way, and it may soon be time to go ...

Rock of Ages: Hymns & Faith by Amy Grant
Amy Grant Goes Full Country for Her Second Hymns Release

Pros: "Carry You" and another couple tracks
Cons: Way too Country for most of her fans to enjoy
There seems to be some unwritten rule that contemporary and pop artists who decide to release a hymns project must go country to do it.  Amy Grant fell into that trap slightly with her first hymns release, but she runs into it with arms wide open ...

Pros: Good historical detail and a reasonable plot.
Cons: A little pedestrian and slightly flowery language
Despite my faint endorsement of the first two C J Sansom's historical whodunit Shardlake novels, I decided to plough on regardless with the third book in the series, Sovereign (2006). In truth, I was in deepest Madagascar with only one book to ...

I believe that books that list statistics and information about our world, sciences, disasters, health and vital statistics are quite important. The sensationalist infotainment that streams out from popular media easily distorts your world view unless ...
