IPhone 3G used's review (DOD-Dead on Delivery) 『The product never worked, so I had to try and exchange it or something. I lost on this deal』
(Amazing Frames !!!!) 『This ones comes with everything you need to show your pics, great wood finish, it's one of the best overall products out there.』
(Poor quality display) 『Once again I learned a great lesson - you get EXACTLY what you pay for. This deal sounded like a great bargain - you get 9" frame for $79. But when I got this frame and turned it on, I understood why it was so inexpensive. Display quality is very poor, I could not get it to work right out of the box - usb connector was loose, display would not turn on - it would light up and nothing would show. To make a long story short - I sent it back. I have give credit to Amazon. Fantastic customer service, got return labels in minutes, refund was issued within days. Then I bought a frame made by Philips. What a difference in picture quality. 』
(Good Purchase..Great Gift!!) 『I just bought this as a birthday present and my friend loved it. The set-up was pretty easy. I uploaded pics and mp3 music file from my laptop to the SD drive and it immediately worked on plugging in. Resolution is a bit on the downside but for the price..must say the colors and pics are quite decent and it looks good too.The only issue is the pics get cropped but probably by choosing the ratio setting that can be resolved..I did not try that out. Overall a great buy for gifting somebody and good value for the price. 』
(Great product at a great price.) 『This digital frame is great and we usually only have it on when guests over at the house. The great thing about this frame was that there was a bonus offer from Shutterfly which was really great. I would recommend as a first digital frame for your household. It's clean and goes with the rest of our gallery in the house. Easy to setup right out of the box. I have not tried any video on it yet, but I'm sure it's just as nice as the photo slideshow.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Toddler loved it) 『My 15 month old daughter was enraptured by this DVD from the first time I put it on. The format is great and it's a very charming package. I have to say this was the first time I have danced to Fur Elise! Appears to be a very attractive program for this age range and I would highly recommend it. The main piece is only about 30 minutes long, but there is an auto play feature which allows it to be continuously repeated.
On the downside there is a LOT of preamble to the actual program and she gets bored waiting for that to be over with, even the bits you can fast forward through, and the blackout spots between the special features are unusually long for any DVD let alone a children's program. Wasn't particularly impressed with the special features - the puppet shows are just short pieces lifted straight out of the main program, and the flash card pictures aren't all very illustrative for the age group the DVD is intended for.』
(Astounding!!!!!!!!) 『Since receiving this product, my baby girl has been mezmerized by the DVD from the first time she watched it at 4 months. As a mom, I love the music (it doesn't get better than Beethoven!), the used of shapes, colors, and characters in the Baby Einstein series, as well as the fact that it provides a great opportunity for my baby and I to interact TOGETHER along with the DVD talking about what we see and learning new things each time we watch it. It's fascinating to watch, even for me as an adult! I'm so very glad we got it!!!』
(Really inspiring...an excellent series of teaching tools!) 『My child was a Baby Einstein fan. We started by introducing him to the Baby Beethoven DVD when he was only a few months old. In no time, he began to respond to the sights and sounds. Before long we had the whole Baby Einstein series. Children seem to grasp and understand (in their own unique way) by watching and interacting. Even now at almost seven years old, my son likes classical music and especially the featured tracks from the DVD. I think any program that seems to educate your children early on is great. This series worked well for us. Makes a great gift for parents to be. I highly recommend it.

(GREAT DVD FOR THE LITTLE ONES!) 『I didn't have much faith that these videos would actually capture the interest my four month old. I was SO wrong. It really grabs his attention and, I hate to say it, allows me at least 27 minutes to get myself ready for the day (or type this review!).
My only problem with the video is the advertising at the beginning (about 4 to 5 minutes worth). Advertisements should be left until the very end, NOT the beginning when you just want to pop it in and have your child sit to watch it. Not only are the advertisments LOOOONNNG, you CAN'T FAST FORWARD OR SKIP THEM!!! Disney was very selfish when they shoved their ads on us this way. The same holds true for every other Baby Einstein video I have. ANNOYING!』 『Classical music has been scientifically proven to encourage cognitive development in young children.Baby Beethoven, a 29-minute Baby Einstein production, presents excerpts from five of the composer's most famous symphonies, as well as incidental music, in a child-friendly, sensory-rich format. Familiar Beethoven themes like the Ode to Joy from his Ninth Symphony are playfully rendered on electric piano and accompanied by colorful images of toys in action, puppetry, and babies at play. The musical excerpts are relatively short and the imagery is quick-paced and varied enough to grab the limited attention span of viewers age 1 to 36 months. Unlike previous Baby Einstein presentations, each symphonic excerpt (though not the incidental music) is labeled--a feature that encourages further exploration of favorite pieces.Baby Beethovenis an aural and visual feast that promotes creativity, mental awareness, and an appreciation for classical music in infants, toddlers, and their parents.--Tami Horiuchi』 『Captivating sights and glorious sounds to stimulate and delight your baby! -- Introduces babies to the wonder of Beethoven's works -- Filled with visual treats and musical masterpieces

(My 2 year old Twins BOTH love it!!) 『For whatever reason my girls LOVE animals.. everyone known to man.. and this DVD is great.. We love the "peak a boo" feature and they can guess what the animal is behind the flap!! Great job again baby einstein!』
(Fun video for toddlers) 『My daughter loves this video. She is almost 2 and we've had the video for 2 months and she asks to watch it every day. She very quickly learned the names of all the animals, and she giggles at the puppets' antics. We also have Baby Neptune and Baby Galileo, and she loves those as well. She likes having me sit next to her to watch it with her, because then she can ask me what the animals are and what are they doing. It makes for relaxing downtime for both of us.』
(TV and videos are not good for babies under 2) 『The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television at all to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that:
- for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. - among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age." - brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping.
I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby's intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, "relationships, not things, make babies smarter." The easiest way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable. Studies have shown that:
- carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying.
Babies who are frequently carried are proven to pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year" has more information on babywearing, or you can google "babywearing" or "television and baby studies" for your own research.
Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.
Finally, I'd suggest "SIGNING TIME" videos - not to be confused with "Baby Signing Time" - as a last resort instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums - accelerate language development - promote parent-child bonding
I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings&Fun DVD and 'naming' feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies. 』 『The baby-to-toddler set gets an expedition through a variety of animal habitats across the planet in this installment of theBaby Einsteinseries. Despite the title, there is no real biblical connection to the material other than Noah's Ark toys and a few paintings (minus Noah and family). The subtitle "Animal Expedition" is far more accurate, as the 38-minute program takes the youngsters through the African savannah, rainforest, ocean, Australian Outback, and polar regions. As in its predecessors in the series, this one focuses on a few animals in each segment with repetition through toys, puppets and nature footage. Spoken words are minimal, but percussion and classical music (Beethhoven, Bizet, and Mozart, here) are maximized.

As little ones become better acquainted with the world, they grow curious about animals of all kinds, beyond just the family pet. And as their communication skills continue to develop, they enjoy imitating animal sounds as well.

Although this film is geared towards younger audiences, it is still a couch adventure for adults. I recommend that all "Star Wars" fans watch this film with their children, as an introduction to the "Star Wars" experience.』
(good for the kids ony) 『this movie is a rather obvious attempt to cash in on the popularity the ewoks gained during the return of the jedi movie.nobody youve ever heard of isin it.but kids dont care,so theyll like it anyway.if you can listen really closely,a ewok cusses,but besides that,there is nothing to warp thier minds.it is not nearly as good as the star wars movies so dont be fooled!at one point a ewok gets killed.this could freak them out.the real deal on this one is that its cute for small children butthats about it.』
(Fun, FUn, FUN!) 『This movie really does take you back to when you were a child...well atleast if you were a child a couple years after it was released! 20 years later and this is still a classic! I can't wait for the DVD to come out! George Lucas is the man!』

(They HAVE to make a DVD) 『NOBODY does it like Jim Henson. I remember being totally absorbed by all of his muppet tv shows and movies since before I understood what they were saying.
This was such a cool movie for me when I was younger. We would watch it every Easter (b/c of the bunnies) and about 20 times inbetween. The bad guy, as usual, becomes a good guy. There's all clean humor and so much personality and expression in each puppet you can hardly believe it. The good guys use creativity to help eachother out and in the end everyone is happy and dancing and singing just the way Jim Henson always did it. I love this movie and I even got one for my mother for nostalgia.
They have GOT to make a DVD of this one, I just can't find it. If you do let me know!!!』

Be-Bop-A-Loo-Wop-Bop was their favorite character... and the DAWWWG was just like our family dog, so he is forever our friend! If you have not seen this, you are missing the magic in your heart! It is simply the best.』 『Jim Henson's last directorial production aimed squarely at children is this delightful 50-minute show about a bunny who cried "dog." Little Bean Bunny always wants to make an impression on his family and his jovial bunny community. When he encounters a daffy dog bent on chasing rabbits (voiced by Henson), his stories only bemuse everyone; they'd rather prepare for the upcoming spring festival. Escaping into a rich fantasy life, Bean soon overcomes his fears and then finds practical ways to be a hero for a day. Jam-packed with music,The Tale of Bunny Picnicillustrates the enormity of Henson's vision in presenting multiple Muppet-like characters on screen at one time; there's a real sense of community.

IPhone 3G used's review (BASED ON A TRUE STORY!) 『PT 109 is a 1963 biographical movie which shows the events of John F. Kennedy's actions in command of Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 as an officer of the United States Navy during World War II. The movie was adapted by Richard L. Breen, Vincent Flaherty and Howard Sheehan from the book PT 109: John F. Kennedy in WWII by Robert J. Donovan.
The movie stars Cliff Robertson, Ty Hardin, James Gregory, Robert Culp, Robert Blake, Andrew Duggan (the uncredited narrator), Michael Pate and George Takei (uncredited as helmsman on Japanese destroyer, best known as Sulu of Star Trek). The exteriors for the movie were filmed at Little Palm Island (formerly Little Torch Key), a resort in the Florida Keys. Power and fresh water were run out to the island for the movie, allowing the resort to be built years later. The former owner was the local Monroe county sheriff.
The most dramatic special effect is what appears to be a full-size set with live actors appearing to be crushed by the bow of a destroyer.
In the movie, the PT 109 is reported missing and a search is started. According to National Geographic, and the original book, the boat explosion was observed from other PT boats in the vicinity and it was given up as lost. A memorial service was held at the motor torpedo boat squadron's forward operating base at Rendova while the crew was still marooned on the islands in the vicinity of Japanese-held Kolombagara Island.
Solomon Islanders Biuki Gasa and Eroni Kumana were portrayed as random natives, when in fact they were dispatched by the coastwatcher, Arthur Reginald Evans, to find them. The movie holds to the Donovan book version that Kennedy first suggested the idea of using a coconut for a message, using a knife to carve it. Gasa was later interviewed as suggesting the idea and sending Eroni to pluck a fresh coconut. The actors playing Gasa and Kumana were not credited either, though the senior native is mentioned by name when the large canoe arrives.
The scene rescuing ambushed Marines is actually covered by the chapter in the book about PT 59, which Kennedy commanded after the PT 109. It was an older model Elco PT boat that was converted to a gunboat with its torpedoes removed The White House had full approval of casting and aspects of the film. Among other actors considered for the lead were Peter Fonda who objected to having to do his screen test with an impersonation of JFK's voice, [1] Edd Byrnes, Jacqueline Kennedy's choice Warren Beatty, Jeffrey Hunter, and other stars.[2] Kennedy selected Cliff Robertson after viewing their screen tests. Robertson met with President Kennedy who set three conditions on the film; that it be historically accurate, that profits go to the survivors of PT 109 and their families and President Kennedy had the final choice of actor.[3]
Kennedy also vetoed Raoul Walsh as the director of the film after screening Walsh's Marines Let's Go and not liking it.[4] Director Lewis Milestone was replaced by Leslie Martinson a prolific experienced Warner Brothers Television director 』
(One Story of the War) 『This is the story of one "patrol torpedo" boat, expendable forces used to attack the enemy to do the most damage at the lowest cost. The opening scene tells how JFK wrangled a front-line combat position instead of an office job is some safe rear echelon location. There is soon a warm welcome to the front. JFK wanted to learn what they didn't teach at Harvard (like some other wealthy men). An air raid shows that danger is near. Can JFK get his boat in shape in a week? The commander is not a happy man. PT 109 needs work, and gets it to pass inspection. Its engines are old. JFK had a taste for chocolate candy.
Their first combat assignment is to help evacuate Marines from an island and provide covering fire. What if they run out of gas? Will help arrive in time? What happens if the engines fail? They get an assignment to attack a Japanese supply fleet. Their base is attacked by Jap fighters. JFK scrounged a 37 mm anti-tank gun for his boat. The boats patrol in the dark, there is radio silence. The engines are muffled. Radar picks up a boat. A Jap destroyer runs into their ship and cuts it in two! Burning gasoline lights up the scene, men are rescued and brought to the floating wreck. The loss of PT 109 is reported, no survivors seen. The survivors swam to a deserted island to avoid capture. Planks are used as flotation devices. They land safely. Can they be rescued? Can they signal a friendly ship? "Nobody is giving up!"
Will they have to swim to another island? They can't fight against overwhelming odds. They travel to another island for food and water. JFK inscribed a message on a coconut so two natives can carry a message to Rendovo. The men are becoming dispirited. Then a reply is received. Friendly natives wave at a passing Jap Zero. A rendezvous is made after firing recognition shots. JFK leads a PT boat to the island that rescues the crew. They will be sent back to the states on leave. But JFK wants another boat to continue the war.
The credits name the actors in the crew. This is a slow-paced movie, but it is based on reality rather than Hollywood drama. JFK was the first President to have naval combat experience. His assassination was never solved in a court of law. There were a lot of changes to this country since his murder. [Why is this film never shown on TV?]
』
(Where's The DVD) 『Hey---those of you who are in charge: How come this here movie isn't on DVD or blu-ray, yet? Surely would like to see it happen, soon. thank you』
(PT 109) 『Great movie! I wish I could get a copy to play it on my DVD player, instead of having to dig out and hook up my old VCR when ever I want to watch it.』
(Oustanding movie about fine man, and very good future President!) 『The absolute best performance of actor Robertson's career. Story of young Lt. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who VOLUNTEERED for hazardous PT boat duty in World War II, despite his, brother and father's previous role in Patriotic America First Committee, that TRIED in vain to keep the US out of World War II. Just like Pilot/ Aviator Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Kennedy backed the Soviets down in '62 and prob- ably kept the world from nuclear war, but the Establishment keeps lying about alled- ged affairs AFTER HE'S BEEN DEAD AND GONE AND CANNOT DEFEND HIMSELF! Absolute rubbish! The Masons, Zionists and others may hate him but real Americans have been telling the truth about him for years; Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, Tom Valentine, Bo Gritz, and yes, Rich Salzer!』 『John F. Kennedy lived long enough to see this Hollywood account of his Navy career and his heroism following a ruthless attack by a Japanese ship on his small patrol craft. Cliff Robertson is an amiable choice to play Kennedy, though one won't find a lot of the late president's mannerisms in his performance. The key battle sequence, which finds Kennedy and his crew bloodied and battered while trying to stay alive in shark-infested waters, makes a big impression on young viewers.--Tom Keogh』
