Customer Review: Not like the original
Diamon Deb Nail Files 8″ I am very disappointed in the modern Diamon Deb nail files. I love my Diamon Deb nail files that were made in the USA a few years back. They are now made in China, and it shows. I recently got a new one and was surprised at how poor it was. The surfaces were much rougher than my made-in-the-USA Diamon Deb nail files, and there didn’t seem to be a finer side to it at all. It seemed to tear my nails more than file them (I have thin nails). I will not get another one. I’m trying Ruby and other nail files instead.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
October 5, 2009 at 1:54 am | In china | Leave a CommentTravel across exotic locations from the catacombs of ancient China to spectacular Himalayan peaks in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, a third-person action-adventure video game. You will take on the heroic roles of Rick O’Connell and his son, Alex (played by Brendan Fraser and Luke Ford, respectively, in the film). Follow the explorers on their harrowing journey to defeat the vicious Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) and his reawakened terracotta servants.
Customer Review: Not Bad For A Game Based On Movie
The Mummy Tomb of The Dragon Emperor is kind of like the other mummy games such as the Mummy Returns for the PS2. In this game, you play as Alex O’Connell and Rick O’Connell. Alex is now a 22 year old boy in which he followed his parents’ footsteps ever since he was on an adventure with his family in Egypt. The game play at first was fairly frustrating at first especially trying to get past the museum with Alex and it had all of these booby traps with spears pointing up and spinny spikes in crevices that you have to time yourself right in. This game is different than the Mummy Returns because there is more interaction in the game and you play as more than one character. The game provides HUDS, puzzles and timed sequences. But once you get farther in the game and you play it for a little bit, you will soon get used to the game and it will become enjoyable. A problem with this game is that you do the same things over and over like kill enemies that look exactly the same and activating switches. IF you are a fan of the Mummy, go for it. If not, save your money. The choice is up to you.

Customer Review: Mah Jongg Hands Card 2007
We have recently started playing Mah Jongg. Our entire family, ages 10 – 45, enjoy the game. It seems complicated at first to learn. We like the fact that every hand changes. You need to order a Mah Jongg set to play this game. This product is only the card that tells you what the winning hands are.
Fluenz Mandarin 1+2 Learning Suite Mac, Next-Generation Chinese Language Learning Software
September 26, 2009 at 1:11 am | In china | Leave a CommentFluenz Mandarin 1+2 Learning Suite Mac uses the power of next-generation technology to give learners the right tools to learn Mandarin faster. It combines all the great features of Fluenz Mandarin 1+2 with the ability to take the software anywhere on your smartphone.At the center of our program is language tutor Sonia Gil, who went to China herself to learn Mandarin. Sonia is there to guide you throughout the program, blending full motion video explanations in English with a series of highly engaging workouts, helping you understand and speak relevant Mandarin. The Fluenz system follows three clear principles: 1) Live Learning – Learning a new language, especially one as unfamiliar as Mandarin, is difficult to do on your own. With Live Learning, we have brought to computer education the essence of the classroom experience: a teacher. All words and phrases are thoroughly explained and you are guided through a structured learning process. 2) Leverage Learning – Modern linguistics tells us that as adults, we need to use the tools of the language we already know and apply them to learning a new language. With Fluenz, you learn first in English and relate basic Mandarin grammar and syntax to that of English, rather than trying to understand Mandarin grammar with Mandarin logic. Using the English you already know to learn Mandarin is the essence of Leverage Learning.3) Relevant Learning – You need to start learning the words and structures that will allow you to communicate the most in the least amount of time, taking into consideration which words are easier to remember for English speakers, which expressions make the most logical sense to us, and which are most useful–”cell phone” instead of “red apple.” Being able to communicate right away in simple ways is the key to Relevant Learning; And, with more than 13 types of workouts covering verbal expression, comprehension, reading and writing, you practice and internalize what you learn in the video lessons.
Customer Review: Alex Vannoni– Fluenz can’t be beat!
I learned a lot of Chinese with Fluenz. The program’s not cheap, but it’s comparable to Rosetta Stone which seemed to have very mediocre reviews. Also only slightly more expensive than the Pimsleur cds, which are audio only. I especially enjoyed the visuals and workouts, which worked great on my Mac.

The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom
September 16, 2009 at 1:44 am | In china | Leave a CommentIn sumptuous and illuminating detail, Simon Winchester, the bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman (“Elegant and scrupulous”—New York Times Book Review) and Krakatoa (“A mesmerizing page-turner”—Time) brings to life the extraordinary story of Joseph Needham, the brilliant Cambridge scientist who unlocked the most closely held secrets of China, long the world’s most technologically advanced country.
No cloistered don, this tall, married Englishman was a freethinking intellectual, who practiced nudism and was devoted to a quirky brand of folk dancing. In 1937, while working as a biochemist at Cambridge University, he instantly fell in love with a visiting Chinese student, with whom he began a lifelong affair.
He soon became fascinated with China, and his mistress swiftly persuaded the ever-enthusiastic Needham to travel to her home country, where he embarked on a series of extraordinary expeditions to the farthest frontiers of this ancient empire. He searched everywhere for evidence to bolster his conviction that the Chinese were responsible for hundreds of mankind’s most familiar innovations—including printing, the compass, explosives, suspension bridges, even toilet paper—often centuries before the rest of the world. His thrilling and dangerous journeys, vividly recreated by Winchester, took him across war-torn China to far-flung outposts, consolidating his deep admiration for the Chinese people.
After the war, Needham was determined to tell the world what he had discovered, and began writing his majestic Science and Civilisation in China, describing the country’s long and astonishing history of invention and technology. By the time he died, he had produced, essentially single-handedly, seventeen immense volumes, marking him as the greatest one-man encyclopedist ever.
Both epic and intimate, The Man Who Loved China tells the sweeping story of China through Needham’s remarkable life. Here is an unforgettable tale of what makes men, nations, and, indeed, mankind itself great—related by one of the world’s inimitable storytellers.
Customer Review: I Loved “The Man Who Loved China”
I have recommended this CD set to everyone I think would be interested. This is the story of a brilliant man, a scientist, with an avid curiosity about all aspects of life, but his passion becomes China, her language and her past. Joseph Needham was a Cambridge scholar, a lover of women, an adventurer and wrote the definitive volumes on the scientific contributions China made to civilization. If this sounds dry, believe me, it isn’t. Narrated by the author, Simon Winchester, it is written with humor,elegance, and a genuine admiration and enthuiasm for this unique man. Winchester’s narration is as crisp and brilliant as his writing. I actually think it is better to hear this book than to read it as his pronunciation of Chinese names and cities is flawless and unless one is familiar with China these strange names could prove stumbling blocks in the reading.
