C750UZ Rocks!
After months of research I finally settled on Olympus as the manufacturer. It took me another few weeks to settle on the 750UZ. I think the October issue of PC Magazine kind of settled things for me. It was the Best digital camera $500 or more and was even better than the 5 Megapixels compared to it. Easy to use and even better- terrific pictures. Set the mode to Auto and take your pictures its as easy as that or for the more adventurous there are manual settings to muck with. The one insignificant problem that I had was with the manual. It comes on CD and you need Adobe Acrobat to read it. Other than that it was a wise choice. I am extremely happy with this camera, it ROCKS! Advice - get either a 128mb or 256mb xDcard. They hold tons of pictures. Also when using the 10X zoom its easier to hold it steady with a Tri or Mono - pod.
A valuable Civil War memoir
Father Corby's Irish Brigade memoir provides a very valuable and interesting record of the Civil War. His testimony gives the reader a first-hand account of life in the Church and in the Army.In some sections, the memoir is not terribly exciting; it is for the history buff who wants to know more than which general won a given battle. The book tells of the great and small trials of army life. Its value comes from the author's testimony about the lives of the soldiers and their experiences.The book will best suit those who possess a knowledge of the war, as Father Corby's passing mention of campaigns and generals' names will be lost on the uninitiated.I strongly recommend this book to those interested in Civil War and Irish history.
Disappointed with the size
The necklace is nicely made, but the rectangles are very small and I am disappointed with this. This is probably a child's necklace rather than an adult one. Had I known the sizes of the rectangles, I would have not bought this necklace. However, as it was not expensive I am keeping it as a future present.
a beautiful necklace
I just love this necklace! It's so unique. I really like the handmade quality and the hammered texture. The chain it's on is a perfect match. Well worth the money!
The dark side of K Hand
This album from Kelli Hand represents some of her darkest work (as the title suggests). Taken from her Detroit surroundings she has chosen to represent the Detroit Techno scene with in its minimalist front It is somewhat similar to early Robert Hood (Internal Empire), or lighter work by Claude Young. There are no tracks on this album which represent her more housey output. In fact the album has barely any audible vocals at all, except for the opening track which repeats "get ready for the darkness".That being said it is not as dark as the deep work of Plastikman (Consumed), but that is certainly no fault. Definitely recommended to those who enjoy the incredible techno scene straight out of the motor city.
Not Accurate!
I returned this scale. It was not accurate. Every time I would step on the scale I would get a different number. It wasn't just a slight difference, it could be a few pounds and this was within a minute of each weigh in. I wasn't impressed.
