Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (intense flavor) 『This too, like all the other easiyo flavors I have tried, makes a rich, creamy yogurt. It is delicious! However, I find the flavor intense and I am not a raspberry 'nut'. I prefer to make an additional flavor in another jar when I make this one and when serving, layer them in my serving dish. For example, the peach and the raspberry is a classic, but it also goes well with the mango, the plain, the vanilla, and of course many others I just like to experiment. I do this with other flavors as well of course, to give myself and my household variety. Sometimes adding sliced fruit or berries to add texture. If made correctly, the easiyo yogurts come out 'solid' and when stirred are creamy and delicious they are not runny nor do they need the addition of extra milk as many other reviewers have suggested, this just adds unneeded calories. New Zealand is known for their milk and that is what is in the mix, NZ milk powder, Adding milk of another origin defeats the purpose of buying this. Any doubts, look at the ingredients panel and search the internet. (My first batch did not come out perfect but I learned as I went and now I get perfect yoghurt every time-yoghurt is a live culture so it DOES have to be used within it's expiration date (euro exp date d/m/y) to get the desired results)』
(MIxes with Expired Dates and Curdled Yogurt Results!) 『I have purchased the Lemon Easiyo mixes in the past here at Amazon. Reg. Price. So, when I saw the Easiyo Strawberry, Peach and Raspberry was on sale I purchase those. The resulting Yogurt from the Raspberry flavor curdled and expanded inside the Easiyo maker jar! If I hadn't looked at it, it would have popped the lid off and broke the plastic somehow. It also looked just awful. Like rising yeast!
I threw it away. Yesterday I did the Raspberry. It made a nice looking yogurt, but it has these "curds" of white or whatever in it. I am shaking the mixes well, I even stirred down in the jar good.
I then looked at the back of the packages. The Strawberry expiration date is March 2009, the Raspberry is April 2009 and the Peach is June 2009. All are expired and say Best Before Date----Since I just purchased these now. August 2009, they are all expired product dates. I guess that is why they are on sale. Do you think the curdling and expanding is being caused by the expired dates? I'm following instructions to the T. I had no problems with my Lemon EasiYo mix which does not expire until 2010.
All I can think is it has something to do with the expired dates and the sale here at Amazon.』
(One of the best!) 『I did not want to buy a new Easiyo yogurt machine when I already had an electric one. I tried following the directions on the yogurt package but used my electric machine. The yogurt ended up being runny and watery.
When I used milk instead of water and followed the directions that came with the electric machine, instead of the instructions on the package it turned out much, much better.
With those modifications - This is one of the best yogurt starters out there. Rich, creamy and thicker than most other starters. Has a great flavor. I only wish it weren't so expensive.』 『Description

I use the Donvier yogurt machine which makes 8 6oz. jars. I bring to a boil 44 oz. (about 5 1/2 cups) of skim milk then let it stand till it reaches room temperature. I add 3 heaping tablespoons of Easiyo starter to the milk and whisk. I cook it for 13 hours.
The lemon flavor is natural tasting. Sometimes, I add lemon zest for a sharper taste.』
(YUM!!!!!) 『Delicious! New Zealand cows don't have that wonderful reputation for nothing! This comes across in the yoghurt. It is delicious, absolutely wonderful. If you are used to that awful stuff full of artificial flavors and preservatives you may think differently but to me, this not too sweet not too tart lemon, was the perfect blend of goodness. The creamy texture just melted on my tongue. It was almost like eating a decadent dessert without the calories! So far I have also tried the strawberry and the plain with equally satisfying results. Yes, even the plain could be eaten by anyone without feeling it had to have a lot of added anything. If you allow it to stand a long time when making it, it will have added tartness but if not, it will be creamy and almost sweet as well. Just, yum!.As for the cost (I've heard complaints from a few), it is equivalent to what I sometimes buy in the grocery store, but I buy a natural litre size greek yogurt (it doesn't tout itself as natural it just is). That aside, it IS an imported product, perhaps as it gains in popularity (and it will), becomes more well known, they ship more in, the costs will go down and we will all reap the benefits. In the meantime, I will continue to watch for free shipping and specials on Amazon.com when I need a new supply as at the present time, they seem to have the best prices.』 『Description

The lush big band sound featuring the smooth trumpet of Harry James can not be beat. Listening does not get any better!』
(ESSENTIAL COLLECTION) 『This is essential for any James fan who doesn't already have albums from this 1950s period. The sound is great. Personally I preferred the second disc because it's got the hotter, harder numbers.』
(The Complete Harry James in Hi-Fi) 『This double CD brings together three of Harry James's best LPs of the 1950s, and the reproduction is magnificent. James is here at the height of his powers, a brilliant, dazzling trumpeter capable of both the most formidable technical pieces and slow, expressive ballads, all played with his instantly recognisable tone. The first CD contains several re-recordings that made Harry famous in the '40s; the second contains the 'Wild about Harry' LP (1957), which is full of some of the best arrangements of the day. This is a CD set to savour. Absolutely indispensable.』 『2008 two CD release featuring three albums (plus bonus tracks) by the band leader and his orchestra. Made during the first years of the LP era, the Harry James albums Harry James in Hi-Fi and More Harry James in Hi-Fi comprised some of the greatest hits of the James Orchestra. Among the instrumental figures present on both of the 1955/56 albums were trombonist Juan Tizol (who had made a name for himself as part of the Duke Ellington orchestra) and saxophonist Willie Smith. By the time the LPs were made, both had been playing more than a decade with Harry James. Both albums were best sellers when first issued, and are presented here in their entirety With the addition of four bonus performances that were taken from the More Harry James in Hi-Fi sessions but originally issued on compilation albums.

(Out on a limb? The greatest Jazz album?) 『I've argued this is the greatest jazz album while conceding there are many perfect works - Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" at the top.
Simply, if there's one album I'd put in a time capsule that could teach distant generations what jazz is and how to play it - this is it. Power, tenderness, bravado and swing. Each instrument is showcased by virtuoso artists. How do you play jazz violin? Trumpet? And Muted? Sax? Clarinet? Baritone sax? Drums? Bass? Piano (well, Ellington)? Compositions of genius. From this seed, the entire artform could be reborn. So if greatness serves these virtues as well as pleasure, I'm sure Miles would be okay with the silver medal. 』
(Shakespeare would've loved it) 『Be jealous of me - I own CD Col 469140 2, which was an earlier reissue that I bought somewhere in Europe. Needless to say, it has the right take of Up And Down...Look for it! This is Duke and Billy's finest writing together - from the swagger of the title track, with its hidden references to Birmingham Breakdown and Jumpin' Punkins, and its use of Duke's "African" motto theme (check out Dance #5 from Liberian Suite) to the very particular decadent elegance of Lady Mac (note the use of Procope's alto). And then one of Duke's very best usages of Clark Terry in that great piece of musical humor, Up And Down, and his best - ever piece for Cat Anderson, the stunning Madness in Great Ones - one of Duke's most "cutting edge" pieces (though I have to admit I don't love the climax - it feels a little overblown). It seems that no one but myself has ever heard some slight nods towards Gil Evans in this suite. Something in the very particular transparency of the scoring - the lightness of the brass writing. Some sonorities...I could see them feeling it. But whatever, this is a masterpiece. One should expect nothing less from Duke, although now that we're living in the age of Ellington hagiography, where (albeit brilliant) sketches like Afro - Eurasian Eclipse are treated like the second coming of Ko-Ko, I think the critical standard is a little low in general. But put that all aside - this CD is a triumph.』
(Ellington and the Bard) 『 This is Duke Ellington's suite in tribute to Shakespeare. Most of the selections are inspired by a particular character (Othello, Caesar, Henry V, for example), and most feature the work of a particular band member. SONNET TO HAND CINQ features Britt Woodman's trombone to good effect; LADY MAC, a waltz and one of the best tunes in the suite, has excellent Clark Terry work; CIRCLE OF FOURTHS, the only track that is taken up-tempo, has a good Paul Gonsalves solo. The most famous selection is STAR-CROSSED LOVERS and features Johnny Hodges on alto in a beautiful solo. Other musicians featured are Harry Carney on THE TELECASTERS and Quentin Jackson on trombone in SONNET FOR SISTER KATE. The music in this suite is introspective for the most part and highly personal; how connected it is to anything Shakespearean is up for debate. The better pieces are quite attractive; it's the kind of music Ellington hoped to be remembered for.』
(Perhaps Duke Ellington's Most Intriguing Suite...) 『This review is an excerpt from my "So You'd Like To..." guide called, "Explore the Music of Duke Ellington: Part I."
Classically inspired, Such Sweet Thunder, also known as The Shakespearean Suite, is an intriguing work for those who have affinity toward classical music. The songs are dedicated to the characters from Shakesphere's plays, and some of the outstanding pieces are the solemn "Sonnet for Caesar" with its tragic ending, the delightful "Lady Mac" who enjoys a bit of ragtime, and Clark Terry's trumpet goes "Up and Down, Up and Down" as Puck who laughs at the world. Billy Strayhorn's "Pretty Girl" was adopted into the suite and entitled, "The Star-Crossed Lovers." With its fluttering notes, the sudden opening by Ellington on the piano lifts the mind right up to the state of high drama and romantic tragedy. Paul Gonzalves plays the part of Romeo. Known for his sensuous phrases and the purest of tone, the peerless Johnny Hodges plays with all the love and heartache that Juliet feels. Ellington ends on the very same notes as the opening and, as Bill Berry in the liner notes put it perfectly, "It leaves one suspended."』 『Such Sweet Thunderwas, likeBlack, Brown and Beigeand the laterFar East Suiteand other works of the late-1950s and on, a long-form study broken into identifiable miniatures that could stand alone as tunes. But this one was far more unlikely than Ellington and cocomposer Billy Strayhorn's other suites, with its focus on characters developed by William Shakespeare. Pieces were scripted for both centuries-old charactersandEllington band members; for example, Paul Gonsalves's tenor sax and Johnny Hodges's alto parry as a musical Romeo and Juliet on "Star-Crossed Lovers." Surely this description of the CD makes it sound stiff, even pretentious, but the music gives the lie to such an assumption. Ellington was a master of sectional polyphony, making sure his band's sections swung individually and then in tandem with the other sections, creating a powerful, sometimes swirling swing. But he had Strayhorn, who was also a master of creating moods and ambient textures. And that's where this session becomes fascinating, in the moments when the group creates something other than rhythmic propulsion, standard harmony, or even focused melody. Rounding out the original LP issue--which accounts for only half of this CD's length--are a host of alternate takes, three of them wholly or partially unreleased until this set.--Andrew Bartlett』

(More upbeat than their previous album.) 『The songs on this album tend to be fun and playful whereas the songs on The Mating Game tend to be considerably deeper. There are a lot of feel-good songs here, where The Mating Game was a lot heavier on torch songs. There are also some unabashedly sexy songs on this album--Get What I Want, Drink You Sober, and (in the online extras) Trois--while there were none on The Mating Game.
The flip side of that is that none of the songs on Drama reach much emotional depth. "A Moment" has the most emotional depth of the lot, and it's still a "feel-good" song. "Everything" is sentimental but there's a difference between sentiment and emotion, and it's another "feel-good" song too. "Drama" and "Waking Up" are the only torch songs here, and neither one is a patch on Bitter:Sweet's work on The Mating Game.
Speaking of which, "Trouble" is a fun little song unless you're familiar with "Dirty Laundry" from The Mating Game, which covered the same territory about five times better. It's not that "Trouble" is bad because it's not, it's that "Dirty Laundry" is outstanding.
Shana's also reined in some of the wild poesy that marked her lyrics in The Mating Game, lyrics that were sometimes amazing and sometimes inscrutable. One thing that hasn't changed is that you can still do an easy drinking game: whenever she sings "drink", take one.
Don't get me wrong, I love the album (see the 5 stars I rated it?). But the musical choices are decidedly different: light, bouncy, playful, and sexy. Drama is certainly not The Mating Game II.
One other difference: this album comes with a lyric sheet for all of the songs except "Trouble". I love Shana's voice, but she favors interpretation over enunciation, and when combined with occasional odd choices of lyrics, frequent unexpected changes of cadence, and her whistled sibilants, it can be difficult to understand what she's singing at times.』
(Unique music for the mature ear) 『This album by the duo Bitter:Sweet (Shana Halligan and Kiran Shahani) and is a unique blend of jazz, rock, electronic and smooth music. It refines the sound made in their initial album The Mating Game. Shana Halligan has a smooth and sensuous voice and there is an obvious influence from "The Supreme Beings of Leisure" sound which Kiran Shahani founded with Rick Torres.
The music is very melodic and has some very memorable melodies which includes the title track. A thoroughly likable album that I purchased on iTunes first but then felt the need to get the fidelity of the CD so that I could get more enjoyment.』
(Music that envelopes you!) 『Her soft, sexy voice keeps you interested while the music lifts you to another plane. These are songs that tell stories that you want to be a part of. Highly recommended!』
(Great Music) 『I love the songs, its very "im in the mood for cafe music" type of songs.』 『Two years after their intoxicating debut, Bitter:Sweet returns with their much anticipated 2008 sophomore release, Drama. Aptly titled, the album takes the listener through a range of heightened emotions and sounds. The meticulous production, impeccable songwriting, and sensual vocals are present as ever on an album that polishes the signature style introduced by The Mating Game. Backed with full string ensembles and horn sections Drama embraces a more organic sound that moves Bitter:Sweet confidently into the pop realm. Equal parts flirtatious numbers, and achingly beautiful songs; Drama is playful, moving, and sure to become a classic. Quango.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (This is one of my favorites!) 『This show is very educational! It is from the 1992 season, so it does not have the advanced graphics and choreography like the newer shows have, but it still has great songs, and a great subject. It has the characters: Barney, Tosha, Michael, Kathy, and Tina and includes the songs: Home on the Range, Winter's Wonderful, Frog on a Log, My Family's Just Right For me, I Love You, and more. Kathy and Tosha tell Barney that they are learning about animal homes in school, and Barney tells them that there are different types of homes for people and animals. After that, they think of different places where people/animals live--igloos, under the sea, cocoons, etc. and visit those places. They discuss the biggest and smallest homes they can think of. They also act out the story of"The Three Little Pigs"and learn what the most important part of a family is. I highly recommend this one to add to your Barney collection!』 タイトル『 Sweet Emma Dear Bobe (Hungarian with English Subtitles) >
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A Bundyful Christmas Classic) 『Marrried With Children, what a great sitcom and then some! Some people hated this show as a salute to disfunction, BUT there is a lot more truth in their episodes than many people want to aknowledge.
Here we have a Bundy take on "It's A Wonderful Life", it's Christmas eve and with Peggy and kids off to Denny's for their annual Christmas Eve feast, Al has a rare moement of clarity, wishing he could give his family more and thinking that they would be better off without them.
Enter the late Sam Kinison, as the Angel. The Angel shows Al what his family would be like at Christmas without him. We see Peggy, dressed as a Donna Reid clone, baking Christmas cookies, Kelly returns home for the holidays from her studies, dressed in preppy clothing (to put it midly), and not worring about her lack of a sex life. Bud dressed to the nines, plays the ultimate ladies man. Ted McGinley plays their father, and for Christmas he announces he had bought them a new house as the ultimate present. Al's take on this?, he wisely asks, "can you taste the bile".
Happily all was a dream, and when Al wakes up his dejected family returns, unable to have taken in Denny's cuisine as the prices went up.
All is right in Bundyville!

(It's A Bundyful Christmas!) 『This episode of Fox's Married..With Children is a true Christmas classic. It first aired on December 24,1989(not the 17th as stated on tv.com). Steve Rhoades(David Garrison) spends the holidays with his widowed mother. She came to get him via taxicab from her Cincinatti home! So his wife Marcy(Amanda Bearse) spends Christmas alone. Marcy is "getting down" at the Christmas Eve party at the bank where she works as a drive-thru window teller,her demotion from accountant. After patriarch Al Bundy(Ed O'Neill) receives a shock from a faulty live wire from his Christmas light set,he falls asleep and dreams what life would be like if he were dead. In the dream sequence,a guardian angel(the late great Sam Kinison) shows Al what is happening in his wife Peg's(Katey Sagal)(fictitious)second marriage. Peg married a sophisticated man named Norman Jablonski(guest star and future MWC cast member Ted McGinley). Daughter Kelly(Christina Applegate) and son Bud(David Faustino) are college students. Take note of how all four are dressed in 1950's fashions. "I want my family back!",exclaims a desperate Al. Also,at the shoe store where Al works and manages as well,he entertains an army of young children,only for them to be met with disappointment. Their parents pay for them to be babysat and are later refunded. This episode is from Married...With Children-The Complete Fourth Season in two parts. This episode had a special closing montage. Instead of Al and Peg sitting on their living room sofa,we see a night scene of the Bundy house with a snow-covered ground and we hear IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS performed by an unknown ensemble. McGinley, of Happy Days fame,joined MWC in late 1990,playing Jefferson D'Arcy,who would become Marcy's second husband(her marriage to Steve ended in sudden divorce). Another episode similar to this is YOU BETTER WATCH OUT from 1987. In that episode,Santa Claus is found dead in the Bundys' backyard.』

(Everytime A Shoeman Cries, An Angel Gets....) 『This homage - of -sorts to the Jimmy Stewart classic is already a classic of its' type.

With anger, angst and humor, The Angel ( Sam Kinison ) arrives, not without his own issues and proceeds to give Al a look of how life might have been. Peggy somehow became a Leave It To Beaver style mom, complete with apron and french Twist...Bud, a sweater and tie wearing geek who has become almost courtly and Kelly - a plaid skirt and ponytailed Virgin Barbie. Did Peggy Sue get married ? You bet your Bundy she did, but to a handsome man who lifts them all from drudgery and middleclass living to life in a mansion. The lucky husband later was signed to the show as jefferson D'Arcy - also known as Mr Marcy. Here, he is somewhat of a snob, but loving the family. Obviously, Al comes to a few self - realizations and makes the decision of a lifetime. OK, it ain't Shakespeare, but it is a welcome respite from the usual holiday fare.』
(Bundyfully Outrageous) 『I grew up watching Married with Children and was very disappointed when the show ended. I was grateful to watch reruns on late night television until recently time slots changed and I am no longer able to watch. Thus I begun my search to find the series to purchase as many other shows such as Friends and Little House on the Prairie have come out with, but found bitter disappointment in the realization that there are no season's available for purchase.

『Woody Allen makes beautiful music but only fitful comedy with his story of "the second greatest guitar player in the world." Sean Penn plays Emmett Ray, an irresponsible, womanizing swing guitar player in Depression-era America who is guided by an ego almost as large as his talent. "I'm an artist, a truly great artist," he proclaims time and time again, and when he plays, soaring into a blissed-out world of pure melodic beauty, he proves it. Samantha Morton almost steals the film as his mute girlfriend Hattie, a sweet Chaplinesque waif who loves him unconditionally, and Uma Thurman brings haughty moxie to her role as a slumming socialite and aspiring writer who's forever analyzing Emmett's peculiarities (like taking his dates to shoot rats at the city dump). The vignettelike tales are interspersed with comments by jazz aficionados and critics, but this is less a Zelig-like mockumentary than an extension of the self-absorbed portraits of Deconstructing Harry and Celebrity. The lazy pace drags at times and the script runs dry between comic centerpieces--the film screams for more of Allen's playful invention--but there's a bittersweet tenderness and an affecting vulnerability that is missing from his other recent work. Shot by Zhao Fei (The Emperor and the Assassin, Raise the Red Lantern), it's one of Allen's most gorgeous and colorful films in years, buoyed by toe-tapping music and Penn's gruffly charming performance. --Sean Axmaker』

If you don't know the story: Newman comes to his hometown on the Gulf coast with drunken Page in tow; he is her driver plus other jobs; they have some beautiful developments of their relationship, and this is really the best aspect of the movie. His ambition is to make her help him to the acting career that has eluded him so far.
His problem in his home town is that he is not welcome. He was the unacceptable lover boy of the town boss's daughter. The boss had sent him away, but he came back a few times. Now the patience with him has run out, mainly because of some consequences that the Newman character doesn't even know about yet.
And 'not welcome' means more than just getting frowned upon. The play has some drastic action which is left out here. The play is not remotely considering a happy end, but Hollywood seems to have insisted. Sorry if that is a spoiler, but with 'classic' theater plays one assumes that people don't watch them for 'suspense'.
Nothing about the movie is outstandingly original, but you get the essence of TW's play, plus strong acting by Newman and Page, so no bad choice.』
(This film is very sweet indeed...) 『It's become common knowledge to me that playwright Tennessee Williams has never been able to have his plays accurately transferred from stage to screen. He is just too extreme for the time period in which he lived. The very idea of castration, syphilis or racism (and that's just this play) was just too much for 60's cinema. Regardless though, his films still managed to be effortless and poignant and dramatically outstanding. `Sweet Bird of Youth' is just one of many (`Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' and `A Streetcar Named Desire' being his best film adaptations). Whether or not it was able to tackle everything Williams' wanted it to, the fact remains that it is a stellar production that I am sure made him proud.
The film follows Chance Wayne, a dreamer of sorts who is trying to make it big in Hollywood. He left his hometown girlfriend Heavenly behind in order to pursue a career for himself and solidify their future, but in his absence her father, Boss Finley, has promised her hand to another. When Chance returns home with washed up actress Alexandra Del Lago, Boss and his temperamental son Tom Jr. set out scheming a way to get Chance out of town, for good.
As always, secrets from their past bubble forth to expose the foundation for their hatred of one another, thus creating some very tense and equally steamy moments.
The performances are outstanding across the board, especially by the two leads. I have made it very clear that I consider Paul Newman that greatest actor of all time, and I stand by that still. He embodies Chance with his natural charm, but he adds these touching layers of vulnerability that make Chance a very understandable and sympathetic young man. He uses those around him, but his acts are far from selfish. Geraldine Page is phenomenal here, completely and utterly unforgettable. I have mentioned before how I feel Newman is the perfect co-star, and he definitely works his magic at aiding Page in delivering an outstanding performance. He just seems to naturally fit with whoever is sharing the screen with him. Page feeds off that to infuse her character with an almost reluctant charm, which is refreshing and intoxicating.
The supporting cast is all stellar, with Shirley Knight, Ed Begley, Madeleine Sherwood and Rip Torn all delivering top notch performances; especially Rip Torn, who is dastardly as the young and impetuous son of the Boss, searching and striving for approval.
`Sweet Bird of Youth' is a cautionary tale about the blessings and maledictions that come with age. Youth is a sweet bird, but bitter sweet really. Looking at both the characters of Chance and Alexandra we see the opposing sides of that argument. Chance is young and foolish and thus winds up suffering from his own immaturity, while Alexandra is older, more world-wise and yet she suffers from a society that rejects age as if it were an illness.
Startling and absorbing, `Sweet Bird of Youth' is an outstanding example of enthralling cinema; a film that grabs you and never lets you go. With fantastic performances, a strong script and a delicate hand behind the camera (Brooks works with Williams well, as he proved with 58's `Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' and cemented with this gem), this is a must-see film for any and everyone.』
(Performances Elevate Film To Greatness) 『I'm not a big Tennessee Williams fan but this film grabbed me. For sure it's a potboiler but what a sizzler. Foremost are the performances here most notably by Oscar winner Ed Begley and Geraldine Page. Begley's role, though a supporting one, as a corrupt politico is one of those rare turns that envelope the whole movie much like Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" and Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs". Calling everybody laddie through a cynical smile wielding a cane Begley's malevolence leaves an indelible stench that permeates your nervous system. Page's alcoholic fading movie star could have been cliched but she gives her character great empathy and humanity. The film's ostensible star, Paul Newman, as an aging gigolo wisely defers to his co-stars. Also good are Rip Torn as Begley's sadistic son and Shirley Knight as Begley's tormented daughter. An excellent film all around.』
(The Fickle Bird Of Youth) 『The first couple of paragraphs here have been used as introduction to other plays written by Tennessee Williams and reviewed in this space. This review applies to both the stage play and the film versions with differences noted as part of the review
Perhaps, as is the case with this reviewer, if you have come to the works of the excellent American playwright Tennessee Williams through adaptations of his plays to commercially distributed film you too will have missed some of the more controversial and intriguing aspects of his plays that had placed him at that time along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller as America's finest serious playwrights. Although some of the films have their own charms I want to address the written plays in this entry first (along with, when appropriate, commentary about Williams' extensive and detailed directing instructions).
That said, there are certain limitations for a political commentator like this reviewer on the works of Williams. Although his plays, at least his best and most well-known ones, take place in the steamy South or its environs, there is virtually no acknowledgement of the race question that dominated Southern life during the period of the plays; and, for that matter was beginning to dominate national life. Thus, although it is possible to pay homage to his work on its artistic merits, I am very, very tentative about giving fulsome praise to that work on its political merits. With that proviso Williams nevertheless has created a very modern stage on which to address social questions at the personal level like homosexuality, incest and the dysfunctional family that only began to get addressed widely well after his ground-breaking work hit the stage.
"Sweet Bird Of Youth" is a case in point. Not for the first time, a seemingly 1950's style All- American boy Chance who has left his hometown, his home town girl and his roots behind to drift in that endless spiral toward fame- Hollywood and the movies, naturally- comes back to claim what is his by right. On this little hometown reunion Chance is in the service of one aging and fretful actress who has her own issues with that elusive `bird of youth'. In his return to town it appears that Chance has stirred up a hornet's nest with the local political establishment in the person of one red-neck preacher turned politician in order to better do "god's work", old Tom Findley. The object of this dispute is one Heavenly Findley, old Ton's daughter and Chance's left behind paramour who is now the subject of some scandal (due to the amorphously stated need for female-related medical treatment due to Chance's irresponsibility). Along the way we get to see how political power is distributed in a small Southern town as well as the inevitable tempting of the fates by Chance in order to win the `brass ring' before it is too late (apparently somewhere over thirty, by my reckoning). At play's end though, where he is between a rock and a hard place, Chance may not get the chance to be Chance at thirty. Oh, that fickle bird of youth. Still, Chance, go for it.
In the movie version the recently departed excellent actor Paul Newman, a classic example of a 1950's All-American boy type (among his other acting talents), as the movie star `wannabe' and Geraldine Page as the aging actress recreated their stage performances although with a greater screen presence for Ms. Page. Moreover, Chance's strivings to reconnect with Heavenly are more central to the plot. More importantly, the endings differ in that, despite some mauling by Tom Findley's boys Chance takes my advice from the play version and runs, with Heavenly, just as far and as fast as his now aging legs can carry him. 』
(TENNESSEE WROTE THIS WITH TALLULAH BANKHEAD IN MIND...) 『THIS MOVIE, DISAPPOINTED TENNESSEE WILLIAMS, BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES MADE BY THE CENSORS. THE FILM DOES CONVEY THE ACTUAL PERSONALITY OF THIS POSSIBLY GREATEST OF ALL AMERICAN PLAYWRIGHTS. A REAL INSIGHT INTO THE INNER PSYCHE OF MR. WILLIAMS, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A "POET OF THE EMOTIONS".
THE CHARACTER OF ALEXANDRA DE LAGO MIRRORED THE PERSONALITY OF MR. WILLIAMS, IN THAT HE HAD EXPERIENCED A BRILLIANT CAREER, AND WAS GETTING OLDER, AND SUFFERING MORE HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE CHANCE WAYNE CHARACTER PLAYED BY PAUL NEWMAN, ILLUSTRATES THE TYPE OF MAN MR. WILLIAMS WAS MOST EMOTIONALLY ATTRACTED TO IN LIFE. GERALDINE PAGE GIVES AN INTERESTING PERFORMANCE, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER FILM, IF INDEED TALLULAH BANKHEAD COUD HAVE PLAYED THIS PART, ESPECIALLY WRITTEN FOR HER BY MR. WILLIAMS, AND ONE HE WANTED HER TO PLAY.
TALLULAH BANKHEAD TURNED THE PART DOWN BECAUSE SHE FELT IT WAS THE STORY OF ANOTHER DEGRADED SOUTHERN WOMAN. ED BEGLEY STEALS THE SHOW IN THIS FILM, AND DESERVEDLY WON AN OSCAR FOR HIS PERFORMANCE.』 『Drifter Chance Wayne returns to his hometown after many years of trying to make it in the movies. With him is a faded film star he picked up along the way Alexandra Del Lago. While trying to get her help to make a screen test he also finds the time to meet his former girlfriend Heavenly the daughter of the local politician Tom 'Boss' Finley who more or less forced him to leave the town many years ago.Running Time: 120 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 012569573123 Manufacturer No: 65731』 『Sweet Bird of Youthhas the Tennessee Williams penchant for provocation and Southern depravity--although at this point, the bloom is somewhat off the hothouse flower. Paul Newman is a cad who dreams of glory; he's returned to his hometown towing a dissolute, over-the-hill Hollywood star (Geraldine Page re-creates her Broadway role), certain she'll be his meal ticket. He's ruined the only girl he really loved (day-dreamy Shirley Knight), who just happens to be the daughter of the town's boss (Ed Begley, in an Oscar®-winning role). The play's more shocking elements have been euphemized, in the custom of the era's Williams movie adaptations. Director Richard Brooks handles it with intensity, and Rip Torn (who was married to Page) has some wicked moments, but the movie is bound to its theatrical roots and its inability to mention racism, syphilis, or castration. And that's Tennessee Williams without the hot sauce.--Robert Horton』

As I watched La Fea mas Bella through you tube and enjoy I wanted to have this DVD and I thougth that was going to be a short but nice version of the La fea mas bella but it is nothing like that. The Editing dept. have cut all the funny parts and left the unimportant parts of the soap. Univision should do a better job. A short but nice version not such a bad job.
It seems that the DVD was done without a proper quality and editing control just an small example of the luck of quality of this DVD is on the information of the cast. The details of Mr. Soler are wrong. It seems that they have copy the details of Ms Nieves ineasted. Univision should be more profesional......
Well I'm not a very happy customer of this DVD.
The only good thing about all this is the service that I have received from AMAZON as the first DVD packet that I've received was of a very poor quality so i could not even managed to see it. Amazon sent me a new copy without extra charges which proves that Amazon has an excellent customer service.. well done guys... Regard Monica - Australia 』

(La fea mas bella dvd) 『Every thing was great until I realized each dvd had a 2nd side. (I was only watching the first side of each of the 4 dvds.) Then I discovered that there is a shadow like a water spot on side 2 of dvd 1 and it does not play well, like it breaks up and then stops altogether. I suppose it is too late to get a new dvd. I haven't watched side 4 or 6 yet. Carol』
(La Belleza Mas Bella) 『Lety is a brilliant, kind-hearted, compassionate, empathetic, savvy, professional who has been hurt in the past and is trying to work her way up to business success despite being "una fea" an ugly girl with a good heart, a loving family, loyal friends, and a CUTE boss.
This DVD cuts out a lot! This was a long series, but I was drawn into the story of Leticia Padillia Solis and Don Fernando. Despite the editing it is a totally engaging, engrossing story! Lety becomes a complete woman with humor, understanding, and self-introspection, she isn't demeaned or fooled, and she gets a man who appreciates how smart, fun, kind, and wise she is.
There are many travails Lety overcomes with the help of her true friends and Tomas, her best guy pal (equally feo) helps her run her own highly successful business and save the day, despite the cunning and drama of HIS love: Alicia, a beautiful bombshell.
OH THE DRAMA! Remember to stop the DVD to eat and work or you could starve and find yourself without a job (I am speaking from personal experience). If you speak Spanish and English well you might disagree with some of the subtitling, but overall it not a major issue. This is my second time buying this DVD, I wore the first one out.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (WEN is great!) 『WEN has changed my life. No more bottles of shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioners, just one bottle and clean great smelling hair. My relaxer lasts longer, my hair is healthier,and best of all it is finally growing again! 』
(It does what it says it will do.) 『We originally purchased Wen after seeing an infomercial. It works just like they say it will. We have been using it for about a year now. Our favorite is the Almond mint. We like purchasing it through Amazon so we can just buy it when we need it.』
(Never Going Back to Regular Shampoo) 『I had nothing to lose by trying this product. My fine straight medium length hair was fried from years of color and too much time in pony tail holders. It was worth a shot before resorting to cutting off 6 inches of hair! The improvement was immediate, and my hair was transformed in a few weeks. It took some time to find the proper amount of product and rinsing, but there is no doubt I will never return to traditional shampoo! This product is revolutionary! 』
(A truly different approach to your haircare) 『I was pretty skeptical about this product when I saw it on TV but I figured it was worth a shot. I'm caucasian with very long, very, very fine hair and I typically can't go 1 day without washing my hair before it looks weighed down with oil. I thought there was no way that I could NOT shampoo my hair and still have it look healthy and clean. I was wrong. This stuff is amazing and has totally changed my hair. NOw I held off on leaving a review for a few weeks just to make sure I liked it. I've been using only the WEN cleansing conditioner for 2 months now and my hair has completely changed. For the first time in my life I can actually go 2 days without washing my hair and it doesn't feel greasy or look dirty! My hair shines naturally now, without using any product, and it's actually got more body and movement. Having said all that, you do have to get used to it and learn how much to use. I typically rinse out as much as possible and only use less than a pea-sized spot as a leave in (sometimes I even rinse it again). I can see where someones hair would feel dirty if they weren't rinsing properly. You just have to experiment and see what work for you. I definately give it 5 stars though. I'll never go back to using shampoo.』
(Too much $ for greasy hair) 『I purchased this product thinking "this is going to be GREAT" The first few washes were good. It softened my hair like it said. But after 2 weeks of cleansing....my hair got really heavy and greasy feeling. I've since cancelled the autoship and kept what product I had left. I went back to my Matrix sleek look shampoo and conditioner and my hair looks so much better. I only use 2 pumps of the WEN for a leave on conditioner for the ends of my hair. That's about all it's good for.』 『Sweet Almond Mint is the perfect balance of nourishing herbs and natural ingredients designed to hydrate and replenish hair that has been damaged due to shampoo and other harsh elements. May be used as often as necessary, it thoroughly cleanses hair and scalp without stripping them of their natural oils, providing it with added moisture, strength and sheen.』

I've tried some others... including Epic Dental's version. I like the taste of Spry the best... my kids really like it too, and the taste seems to last about average for gum. I'd give it a 5-star rating if it wasn't for the high price.』

(Love this book!!) 『I LOVE this book. We have a couple of other Amy Krouse Rosenthal books, but I think as a mom this one is my favorite. My five year old son got this as a birthday gift when he turned 4 and he really loves it too. The whole book takes character traits and gives definitions that relate to cookies so that kids can understand what they mean. For example, one of them goes something like "Trustworthy means if you ask me to watch your cookie until you come back, when you come back I will still be watching your cookie." Other traits are patience, honesty, courage, loyalty...and more. The illustrations are great and the definitions are so wonderful - exactly how you would try to explain them to a young child. I have referred back to this book when I'm reminding my son about these traits. I'll say, "remember in your cookies book how it says courage means...." I Highly recommend this for kids who are around 4-8. Moms will love it even more!』 『
This delectable follow-up to the bestsellingCookiesandChristmas Cookiesdefines words that are associated with love. From letting your friend have the last cookie (selfless) to waiting to lick the bowl together (considerate), here is a book for anyone who wants to say I love you. Meanings are illuminated in this different kind of dictionary, which is every bit as heartwarming as the experience of baking cookies with someone you love.
Amy Krouse Rosenthal's sweet little lessons, mixed with warm and inviting illustrations by mother-daughter duo Jane Dyer and Brooke Dyer, make for a book that will hit the spot!

(Good book if your looking for sex, no plot) 『I mean don't get me wrong, the scenes are steamy enough to fog up your glasses, but that's it. The plot was sorta out there and all over the place and let me with a lot of questions. Like where Demetri's partner really ran off to, whatever happened to the secretary that was going to get revenge. Other than that I mean its not a horrible book but it's missing essential information to make it great. I say it's still worth it to pick it up』
(HOT, HOT, HOT) 『This book is smoldering from the jump!! The plot was a little far fetched, but it is a romance novel. The scenes in this book should be illegal LOL. I have read this book twice. Kimberly Kaye does not disappoint with this one.』
(Missing MAJOR Details...) 『Mrs. Terry crafts an INTRIGUING storyline with a few suspenseful twists and turns...the INSTANT chemistry between Gaby and Demetri is OFF-THE-CHARTS...and even though this story DEFINITELY has potential, I found it somewhat LACKING...there are a few MAJOR details that the author NEVER fully develops...such as there's no explanation as to the motivation behind Adam and his partner committing the crimes, for which they are being investigated...and there's also no follow-up information given on the where about of Demetri's former partner...which is the main reason he took the case in the first place...so the author kinda leaves you hanging...which makes the conclusion UNSATISFYING....there are also quite a few editing issues...that being said it's still a quick read for anyone looking for a HOT, SPICY, and HIGHLY erotic tale.』
(3.5 stars. It was a pretty good story, but parts could have been better developed. Read for the erotic sex scenes.) 『STORY BRIEF: Gaby grew up in foster care. She runs a community pharmacy providing medicine to people who can't afford it. The FBI believes that she and Adam, her boyfriend, are running a con with Medicaid and drugs. Demetri used to be an FBI agent but now owns a nightclub called The Sweet Spot. His nickname is Sweet. Gaby and Adam frequently go to The Sweet Spot. Demetri's former boss Nick asks a favor. He wants Demetri to get close to Gaby to get evidence against her and Adam. Demetri agrees because Nick offers to do him a favor in return.
Gaby comes home early from work and discovers Adam having sex with his secretary in her bed. In her anger and needing some revenge she goes to The Sweet Spot alone, hoping to connect with someone. Demetri is happy to comply and takes her to his home above the night club for the night. They have an amazing connection and a lot of sex. Adam wants to get back together with Gaby but she won't have him. She continues seeing Demetri.
REVIEWER'S OPINION (WITH VAGUE SPOILERS): There is a lot of explicit sex, with rear door activity and whip lashing. The story was pretty good but a few parts could have been better developed. Lee has a small book that is introduced but not explained how it fits into the story. How Adam and his partner were making money from the con could have been better described as well as their history and relationship. I was not happy with Gaby doing something illegal, even though she had a sympathetic motive. She's the heroine but will have to pay a price. Other than that it was a pretty good story. The author's writing style kept me interested.
