This has got to be my #1 favorite KS CD. Madrigal History Tour & Believe in Music would have to come in second & third. You should buy the CD just for their arrangement of The Boxer & American Pie! And So It Goes is so beautiful sounds like a hymn. Their diction, phrasing & intonation are once again nothing short of impeccable. Thumbs up from this Tenacious Tenor. :o)

I was recently introduced to the Kings Singers and thought that my friend had flipped when I heard it playing on his cd player. But when I borrowed the cd and listened for myself...I was so impressed that I couldnt stop playing it over and again! The recordings one hears here online are good...but dont hold a candle to the REAL thing. My personal favorites of the album include #1 And So It Goes and #2 Seaside Rendevous. American Pie is wonderfully done as is The Boxer. In fact, there arent any songs on here that I "skip!" I recommend this one HIGHLY!!

While their singing is as precise as ever, the Kings Singers probably shouldnt have chosen this group of songs. Ive seen them do non-classical songs in concert and theyre fabulous, but this album just doesnt really work in their style.

I would like to say, that first off, im a 17 year old choirboy. I listen to rock and usually shy away from anything lacking guitar. I saw The Kings Singers last year in concert, walking in not even knowing who they were, and walking out not only Empowered but almost in tears. I recently purhased this CD, and it is such a great mixture of pop, folk and harmonic. The harmonies on this cd are so tight, the only thing I have ever heard that rivals it is the actual performance by them. SO if you have any doubts about this CD THOW THEM OUT AND BUY IT! Its well worth the 15 dollars and will get you hooked from track 1. Oh Yeah my fav track is MLK, written by U2, because its so beautiful. I now have 7 of their cds and am gonna keep on buying them.

I love these slippers. Regardless of price (I got them on sale for $15) they are worth any price tag. I have a pair of $50 slippers that pale in comparison. So far, the memory foam holds its shape. Even though the toe is open they are so warm and cozy, I will wear them year-round. I was immediately impressed by the construction, seaming, and softness. They feel like fur against your skin - thats the only way to describe it. I am going to purchase a pair for all of the women in my family!

I purchased these for my daughter who is living in Japan. The Navy Base has limited items in their stores. She has bunions on both feet and is pregnant with her second child and needed a warm slipper with good support. She was very excited to receive these slippers and is spending most of her day in them.

These slippers are wonderful. Ive had them for 8 months or more. They are durable and provide wonderful support for my feet. These slippers do a wonderful job of cushioning my feet. Even on my worse day for feet pain and discomfort these slippers feel wonderful. I strongly recommend them for anyone who suffers from aching or hurting feet.

These are without a doubt the most comfortable slippers I have ever worn. It is like walking on clouds. I just wish I could wear them to work!!! Dont hesitate buying these, you wont be sorry I promise. They can be a little tight through the Velcro, but just like new shoes, they ease with time. I will never buy any other slipper.

I bought these for my mom who just had toe surgery and needed open-toed slippers. She loves them! Thats no surprise, because I have 4 pairs of the Acorn Spa Wrap slippers myself. Those are the closed-toe, regular slippers. But theyre made with the same adjustable closure and the same memory foam soles as these Spa Slides. I dont think youll find anything more comfortable than these slippers.

Great Train Journeys of Australia Three Trains

Studio: Acorn Media
A 2700-mile epic trip across the bottom end of Australia : Just as the U.S. has several Amtrak trains crossing the North American continent, and Canada's VIA Rail travels the length of that country, so Australia has its own transcontinental passenger train, the Indian Pacific. This train runs on a standard-gauge line (there are several gauges in Australia) running across the southern section between Sydney, New South Wales and Perth, Western Australia. A one-way trip is about 2,700 miles and takes four days. The train is pulled by two Australian-built EMD diesel clones; each has the cab of an E-unit with a cowl body like that of an FP45. There is even an autorack car for those who wish to take their autos with them (much like the AutoTrain in the eastern U.S.). Most Australian trains use American- style knuckle couplers. Tape 1 (50 min.) Sydney to AdelaideThe westward trip begins at the train station in Sydney, with a few scenes of the city included. As the many passengers buy tickets and wait at the station, the locos and cars are washed and serviced. After the passengers board, the train leaves the station and passes through various neighborhoods in Sydney. On board the train, A conductor shows first-class passengers to their berths; people riding coach get just a seat. There are also views of the kitchen and pub cars. All throughout the show, people talk about their experiences on the train and about certain aspects of their lives.Once out of Sydney, the train climbs up into the foothills of the Blue Mountains (also viewed from the air). The original line included the Great Zigzag, consisting of two widely-placed switchbacks. A retired engineer talks about steam operations through the mountains. A straighter bypass with several tunnels is now used for mainline operations, but the Zigzag is still used for steam excursions, one of which is shown briefly. The line's summit is at Katoomba, at 3,582 feet. Here, the Skyway tram and a steep cable car, originally used in mining operations, now entertain tourists.Back on the Indian Express, chefs are busy preparing dinner as the train passes through wooded hills and through an unnamed town at sunset. After dinner, two musicians play an Irish jig on a guitar and an accordion as passengers dance. As passengers settle down for their first night's sleep, the train stops at the town of Parkes for a crew change. Parkes has several large radio telescope dishes for space research. Also shown at another time is the town's annual Elvis Presley festival where contestants do their best poor imitations of Elvis.The line continues west across the plains. As the sky lightens, passengers wake up and get ready for breakfast. The train passes through Menindee without stopping, and crosses more dry scrubby plains, past several lakes, and across the Darling River. Wedge-tailed eagles are observed on a brief boat trip upriver. More tiny mining towns are passed on the dry red plains. A park ranger shows an old Aboriginal ceremonial place in low hills. The train stops in the major mining town of Broken Hill briefly; a vendor sells toy clowns on the street. At the town of Silverton is a small motel and pub; a former miner now does abstract paintings. The Express passes an ore train on the lonely plains; it is also shown in an aerial view. Now the land consists of grassy hills and flats bearing a striking resemblance to the interior hills of California. The train pulls into Adelaide, where some passengers detrain and others continue.Tape 2 (50 min.) Adelaide to PerthAfter passengers board and the Express leaves, several people take pictures of the train as it passes a park. The trip continues west through yet more dry plains as another dinner is prepared. Some views of the plains are seen from a lounge car. One man from Sydney is dressed in white Indian clothes and a red turban just for the enjoyment of it. The train goes through the town of Tarcoola at night, but we get to see it in daylight as well, with its community hall and pub. Out here, medical needs are met by the Flying Doctor Service; as the name implies, an airplane flies in with staff to treat people with infirmities. The next day dawns foggy and misty on the short, open forests of the red plains as breakfast is prepared and the train passes the town of Barton.Now we come to the world's longest straight section of rail line, nearly 300 miles across the treeless Nullarbor Plain. This area is perfectly flat, with little more than grass and scrubby plants on an endless sea of red soil. The Express is viewed from the air, and passes a freight train on a siding. Here are shown old black -and- white films of gangs laying ties and rail using mules and an early tracklaying machine, and some of the first steam passenger trains through the area. The Express passes another freight and arrives at the tiny town of Cook, where passengers can walk around briefly. At the station is a large signboard saying "If you're crook, come to Cook"; "crook" means "sick," and the local hospital invites anyone to drop in for a checkup. A retired train "examiner" (inspector?) talks about living in Cook and raising a family in the middle of nowhere; everyone is safe and there's virtually no crime. As a thunderstorm flashes on the horizon, he takes a large jug and waters a tree he planted years ago and under which he wishes to be buried when he dies.Back on the train, a woman and her grandson are returning to their home in Rawlinna. First, the train makes a mail drop in the town of Forrest. The couple who run the local airport exchange mailbags. They have adopted a young red kangaroo whose mother had been killed by a train; the 'roo is still fed by bottle. A brief side trip is made to the coast of the Great Australian Bight, where cliffs drop right into the ocean. Southern right whales breach the surface of the green waters, and several other Australian animals are shown.The Express continues west across the Nullarbor and stops in Rawlinna, the location of an immense sheep "station" (ranch). The grandmother and grandson detrain and return to heir home on the station. Out here, a bush pilot has to find the sheep from the air. Once he spots a "mob" (flock), he radios to workers on motorbikes who round them up. A brief look at life on the station.Finally the rails curve slightly as they leave the Nullarbor and enter open forests. Dinnertime again as the train passes through more forests. The driver (engineer) communicates on the radio and talks about running a train. At sunset the Express arrives at Kalgoorlie. A bus tour of the city is available; we see downtown storefronts and hotels as the driver points out attractions. Unfortunately the tour also includes a brothel; a female prostitute who used to be a man talks about her exploits. (That's all I'm going to say about that part!) The train arrives at Perth the next morning. There are many opportunities for beach recreation here; even the engineer decides to take a dip in the ocean. Here the show comes to a rather abrupt end.Overall this show is interesting in most parts, although the night segments were not all that exciting. I would like to have seen more views of the countryside than the people on the train, and being a family man with conservative values, I think that the brothel segment could have been left out without detracting from the overall quality of the program. Also, a small foldout map would have been helpful; I had to consult an atlas for an overview of the route. No one show alone can do justice to the vast, fascinating Land Down Under, but there are a number of shows available focusing on a different aspect of Australia. "The Indian Pacific" is one of several videos in the "Great Australian Railway Journeys" series from Acorn Media; I haven't seen the other shows but I'm sure they're interesting, too.=== Paul H! in AtasCalDate: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 16:14:38 -0800

The next day dawns foggy and misty on the short, open forests of the red plains as breakfast is prepared and the train passes the town of Barton.Now we come to the world's longest straight section of rail line, nearly 300 miles across the treeless Nullarbor Plain. This area is perfectly flat, with little more than grass and scrubby plants on an endless sea of red soil. The Express is viewed from the air, and passes a freight train on a siding. Here are shown old black -and- white films of gangs laying ties and rail using mules and an early tracklaying machine, and some of the first steam passenger trains through the area. The Express passes another freight and arrives at the tiny town of Cook, where passengers can walk around briefly. At the station is a large signboard saying "If you're crook, come to Cook"; "crook" means "sick," and the local hospital invites anyone to drop in for a checkup. A retired train "examiner" (inspector?) talks about living in Cook and raising a family in the middle of nowhere; everyone is safe and there's virtually no crime. As a thunderstorm flashes on the horizon, he takes a large jug and waters a tree he planted years ago and under which he wishes to be buried when he dies.Back on the train, a woman and her grandson are returning to their home in Rawlinna. First, the train makes a mail drop in the town of Forrest. The couple who run the local airport exchange mailbags. They have adopted a young red kangaroo whose mother had been killed by a train; the 'roo is still fed by bottle. A brief side trip is made to the coast of the Great Australian Bight, where cliffs drop right into the ocean. Southern right whales breach the surface of the green waters, and several other Australian animals are shown.The Express continues west across the Nullarbor and stops in Rawlinna, the location of an immense sheep "station" (ranch). The grandmother and grandson detrain and return to heir home on the station. Out here, a bush pilot has to find the sheep from the air. Once he spots a "mob" (flock), he radios to workers on motorbikes who round them up. A brief look at life on the station.Finally the rails curve slightly as they leave the Nullarbor and enter open forests. Dinnertime again as the train passes through more forests. The driver (engineer) communicates on the radio and talks about running a train. At sunset the Express arrives at Kalgoorlie. A bus tour of the city is available; we see downtown storefronts and hotels as the driver points out attractions. Unfortunately the tour also includes a brothel; a female prostitute who used to be a man talks about her exploits. (That's all I'm going to say about that part!) The train arrives at Perth the next morning. There are many opportunities for beach recreation here; even the engineer decides to take a dip in the ocean. Here the show comes to a rather abrupt end.Overall this show is interesting in most parts, although the night segments were not all that exciting. I would like to have seen more views of the countryside than the people on the train, and being a family man with conservative values, I think that the brothel segment could have been left out without detracting from the overall quality of the program. Also, a small foldout map would have been helpful; I had to consult an atlas for an overview of the route. No one show alone can do justice to the vast, fascinating Land Down Under, but there are a number of shows available focusing on a different aspect of Australia. "The Indian Pacific" is one of several videos in the "Great Australian Railway Journeys" series from Acorn Media; I haven't seen the other shows but I'm sure they're interesting, too.=== Paul H! in AtasCalDate: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 16:14:38 -0800

Great Train Journeys of Australia Indian Pacific

Studio: Acorn Media
A 2700-mile epic trip across the bottom end of Australia : Just as the U.S. has several Amtrak trains crossing the North American continent, and Canada's VIA Rail travels the length of that country, so Australia has its own transcontinental passenger train, the Indian Pacific. This train runs on a standard-gauge line (there are several gauges in Australia) running across the southern section between Sydney, New South Wales and Perth, Western Australia. A one-way trip is about 2,700 miles and takes four days. The train is pulled by two Australian-built EMD diesel clones; each has the cab of an E-unit with a cowl body like that of an FP45. There is even an autorack car for those who wish to take their autos with them (much like the AutoTrain in the eastern U.S.). Most Australian trains use American- style knuckle couplers. Tape 1 (50 min.) Sydney to AdelaideThe westward trip begins at the train station in Sydney, with a few scenes of the city included. As the many passengers buy tickets and wait at the station, the locos and cars are washed and serviced. After the passengers board, the train leaves the station and passes through various neighborhoods in Sydney. On board the train, A conductor shows first-class passengers to their berths; people riding coach get just a seat. There are also views of the kitchen and pub cars. All throughout the show, people talk about their experiences on the train and about certain aspects of their lives.Once out of Sydney, the train climbs up into the foothills of the Blue Mountains (also viewed from the air). The original line included the Great Zigzag, consisting of two widely-placed switchbacks. A retired engineer talks about steam operations through the mountains. A straighter bypass with several tunnels is now used for mainline operations, but the Zigzag is still used for steam excursions, one of which is shown briefly. The line's summit is at Katoomba, at 3,582 feet. Here, the Skyway tram and a steep cable car, originally used in mining operations, now entertain tourists.Back on the Indian Express, chefs are busy preparing dinner as the train passes through wooded hills and through an unnamed town at sunset. After dinner, two musicians play an Irish jig on a guitar and an accordion as passengers dance. As passengers settle down for their first night's sleep, the train stops at the town of Parkes for a crew change. Parkes has several large radio telescope dishes for space research. Also shown at another time is the town's annual Elvis Presley festival where contestants do their best poor imitations of Elvis.The line continues west across the plains. As the sky lightens, passengers wake up and get ready for breakfast. The train passes through Menindee without stopping, and crosses more dry scrubby plains, past several lakes, and across the Darling River. Wedge-tailed eagles are observed on a brief boat trip upriver. More tiny mining towns are passed on the dry red plains. A park ranger shows an old Aboriginal ceremonial place in low hills. The train stops in the major mining town of Broken Hill briefly; a vendor sells toy clowns on the street. At the town of Silverton is a small motel and pub; a former miner now does abstract paintings. The Express passes an ore train on the lonely plains; it is also shown in an aerial view. Now the land consists of grassy hills and flats bearing a striking resemblance to the interior hills of California. The train pulls into Adelaide, where some passengers detrain and others continue.Tape 2 (50 min.) Adelaide to PerthAfter passengers board and the Express leaves, several people take pictures of the train as it passes a park. The trip continues west through yet more dry plains as another dinner is prepared. Some views of the plains are seen from a lounge car. One man from Sydney is dressed in white Indian clothes and a red turban just for the enjoyment of it.

A brief look at life on the station.Finally the rails curve slightly as they leave the Nullarbor and enter open forests. Dinnertime again as the train passes through more forests. The driver (engineer) communicates on the radio and talks about running a train. At sunset the Express arrives at Kalgoorlie. A bus tour of the city is available; we see downtown storefronts and hotels as the driver points out attractions. Unfortunately the tour also includes a brothel; a female prostitute who used to be a man talks about her exploits. (That's all I'm going to say about that part!) The train arrives at Perth the next morning. There are many opportunities for beach recreation here; even the engineer decides to take a dip in the ocean. Here the show comes to a rather abrupt end.Overall this show is interesting in most parts, although the night segments were not all that exciting. I would like to have seen more views of the countryside than the people on the train, and being a family man with conservative values, I think that the brothel segment could have been left out without detracting from the overall quality of the program. Also, a small foldout map would have been helpful; I had to consult an atlas for an overview of the route. No one show alone can do justice to the vast, fascinating Land Down Under, but there are a number of shows available focusing on a different aspect of Australia. "The Indian Pacific" is one of several videos in the "Great Australian Railway Journeys" series from Acorn Media; I haven't seen the other shows but I'm sure they're interesting, too.=== Paul H! in AtasCalDate: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 16:14:38 -0800

These are very well made slippers. Extremely comfortable. Im on Amazon to buy my second pair because they are out of them locally.
great slipper overall, but the sizing is a little off if you are borderline 7.5
Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
I normally wear a size 7 to 7.5, so I ordered the 6.5-7.5 slipper size. I cant wear them with socks because they are too snug for me. They are also hard to just "slip" on with the backing in the way. Otherwise they are very plush, warm and have a nice padding on the bottom. I may try to get a bigger size or the style that covers the entire ankle since I cant wear socks with this size.

I wanted warm, sturdy, and comfortable slippers and these fit the bill. They are warm enough that I dont wear socks with them most of the time. The sole is very sturdy for those trips out to the mailbox and around the house. They are very cushiony on the inside as well--lots of padding on the bottoms of my feet. These are great slippers.

Excellent PDQ performance : If you have never seen Peter Schickele (aka PDQ Bach) in performance before, you should see this one. The CD's are entertaining in themselves, but, with live performances, there are other visual jokes that are just as humerous as the musical. I have always enjoy "The Seasonings" (Schickele number 1/2 tsp), and would like to perform it. THis group did a great job. IT is a recording of a live performance, so the sound is sometimes a bit garbled. But, don't let that dissuade you from SEEING PDQ Bach as well as hearing him. Schickele is a genius in this genre, so enjoy it.

Backstairs at the Whitehouse : I have waiting so long for this wonderful mini seris . I am a history buff, and when it was shown on TV many years ago, I could not wait til the next night to watch. I was hoping it would never end. To get the view point of life in The White House thru the eyes and life of two maids, mom and daughter and seeing how life was back then was fasinating to say the least. Besides the fact it is based on a true story. I recomend the movie to anyone who enjoys a great true story and or history.

The slippers were a gift for my mother-in-law. I wanted to keep them for myself but since my mother-in-law is really cool I decided she was worthy to receive them. However, when they were delivered to my house I checked them out and tried them on. They were unbelievably soft, comfortable and warm. The quality is apparent in the workmanship. It is easy to see they are a superior product. My m-i-l reports that she loves them. They stay on her feet without being tight and she wears them daily. These slippers are a HIT!

Its real comfy, as expected, but they seem to make them a little on the small side. I thought I wore shoe size 8, but size small (7.5-8.5) is a really tight squeeze. I can only hope that after a few months, it will stretch a little bit to make it fit better.
The quality of the slipper itself, though, is top notch. Plus, the hard sole bottom means it wont wear out after a few months of use.
