RC HELICOPTER SETUP & BALANCE



rc heli. setup & ballance
i found some useful information in it, but a lot was outdated. Not to surprised because how quickly electronic items are replaced with newer technology. Over-all, it was about what I was expecting.

Classical Guitar Sprezzatura



Critical Contribution
I was lucky enough to study with Mark Switzer in the early/mid 90s and This video captures exactly what I was hoping it would - Those first critical classical guitar lessons that I have constantly found myself trying to remember later on. The fundamentals behind a proper free stroke, rest stroke, relaxation, and controlling energy in a way that makes practice time more effective, virtuosic passages less "scary", and performances more consistent and enjoyable for both player and listener.

Most importantly, you get to learn these skills from a very calm, focused, and patient teacher, with camera angles that let you see exactly what is going on mechanically.

I bought this so my son could experience that same critical foundation in classical guitar technique that I remember so fondly. I have consequently found myself using it just as much to re-examine my own playing. I highly recommend this DVD for beginning and experienced players alike and guarantee you will...

Great Introdcution to finger style technique.
This is a jewel. It is a great introduction to the finger style technique of classical guitar. It actually feels like you are taking a private lesson with Mr. Switzer, which is a vast improvement over the over-produced, commercial videos otherwise available. This is a raw, serious instruction video. Any guitar player would benefit from this video should pick this up. Kudos to Switzer and Birtwell.

excellent dvd
I was lucky to have studied classical guitar under Dr. Mark Switzer. Through his instruction, my guitar skills improved and grew to the point where I was performing pieces I would have never dreamed possible. During those lessons, I develped a lifelong appreciation and love for the guitar and its music. When I saw Dr. Switzer had a DVD out, I immediately ordered it. I'm happy to say, it is everything I could have hoped for. He does a great job of breaking down all the skills and techniques needed to be a great classical guitarist. These skills are crucial for beginners to get correct early on if they want to develop into an upper level performer. Also its a great review for more experienced performers who may need to double check what they know and to make sure no bad habits are slipping in. There is also a helpful segment on how to avoid common guitarist injuries. Dr. Switzer's easy going manner and respect for the viewer/student is a much welcomed contrast to many of the...

Bill Moyers: World of Ideas - Writers



Intellectual discussions with renowned writers of all type and genre
No interviewer matches Bill Moyers for intellectual, in-depth thought drawing ability. A set of PBS Moyers interviews, with celebrated authors. This is not a how-to study of writers' techniques, but instead a small glimpse into the impromptu minds' thought of 21 crown authors. Interviews originated from the late 80's to 2010. The authors came from a variety of country origins. Topics addressed include the occasional book by the author, politics, personal lifestyles, author beliefs, religion, dissent, and science. The list is more varied than the authors. This is NOT mass market paperback, steamy romance, or cookie-cutter Amish authors. These authors articulate on many topics, causes, or issues near to their hearts and writing topics.

These are intellectual literacy giants and will not be appreciated by all. But even those who typically read the lighter forms of publication may find a new writer to try. Personally, I immediately went to the library and checked out "Shadow...

Taggart: Superb Scottish TV Mystery Series
The "Taggart" series opened, on broadcast television at least, on a montage of Glasgow street scenes. Meanwhile you heard a biting "This Town is so Mean," sung, in regard to Glasgow, of course, by the magnificent Glasgow-born blues singer Maggie Bell. But it seems like the DVD's of this series, finally released after a long wait, no longer have quite the same montage, and lack Maggie Bell; guess it was once again licensing difficulties, and it's regrettable, as she greatly helped set the mood.

At any rate, after the montage comes one of the very best, longest-running police procedural series ever made for television, a product of the Scottish Television Company. The scripts, by Glenn Chandler,are ingenious, complex, unpredictable, and demand full attention. They are slyly, seriously humorous. We worry about a baby's dying, of poisoned jam, no less. A not very likable man is found dead in a shipping container in which he'd chosen to hide. That very attractive Scots actor...

The Very Best of Glasgow Detectives
Along with Rebus, and Wire in the Blood, these show the very best of Scotland and in particular Glasgow. While doing the series Mark Mcmanus died. Lt Jardin (his side kick you'll meet in the 3rs series and former WPC Jackie continued the series. I don't have any trouble understanding a Scottish accent although many do. It has to do with cadence (rhythm) of their speech. I adore this series and have waited since 1989 for either a video or dvd viewable here. I had taped them while living there but I forgot about the speed difference. It should make for interesting viewing!

Initial D [Blu-ray]



Initial D Movie
Great live action adaptation, actors are chosen well. Cars were depicted accurately and the drifting action is well done. High hopes for sequel probability

intial D
This is a great movie for any motoring fan, kool drift driving and not bad story line with cheeky comedy.

do not buy this
Never buy this DVD, if you are a fan of Initial D you should be watching comic or anime online. This film really destroy the Initial D especially because they made JAY ZHOU staring this film. Don't buy this, it is a west of money! 。。周杰伦演的和傻逼一样的,多看看漫画和Tv版好了
