 Gold Toe Women's 3-Pack Comfort Crew Athletic Sock, Black, size 9-11 $10.00 I bought and paid a little more for these sock as have noticed that most socks do not last long these day. I do not mind paying more if the product stands up. It use to be socks lasted for a long time before wearing out. It seems that the materials in many clothing products wear out quickly. I like these socks for comfort and fit and also got the black ones. I gave them 4 stars based on this. Only time will tell if they last more than a year.  Songs From The Heart $19.98 Same thing for myself. I have everything CELTIC WOMAN ever touched and have seen them in concert 22 times. I don't need to hear SONGS FROM THE HEART (CD or DVD) to wonder what it will be like. I KNOW what it'll be like!! And I KNOW what we're going to get here. Because, it's CELTIC WOMAN. They are MORE than "that good"!! In all my years I've never seen nor heard ANYONE better!! I don't even attend any other concerts anymore. Only CELTIC WOMAN. They are MORE than "that good". (Many, many thanks to Lisa, Chloe, Mairead, Lynn and Alex. And, to HK cause, you're the best)!!  Woman in Berlin $27.99 "A Woman in Berlin" recounts the experiences of a German woman (Nina Hoss) during 8 weeks of the Battle of Berlin, April to June 1945, as the Soviet Union's Red Army overran parts of the city, and German civilians struggled to find food and shelter from mortars and snipers, as well as from the invading soldiers. After she and the women of her neighborhood are raped and beaten repeatedly by Red Army soldiers, she determines to get as much control of her desperate circumstances as possible. She seeks out an officer of the Red Army to whom she offers herself in exchange for his protection. Rebuffed at first by Major Andrei Rybkin (Yevgeni Sidikhin), the two develop a fond relationship of mutual escapism from the horrors around them. The protagonist is nameless. Until recently, she was known only as "Anonyma", the name under which she published her memoirs in Germany in 1959. They were not well-received. The author was accused of shaming German women with her descriptions of prostitution for protection. The memoirs were not published again until 2003, when "A Woman in Berlin" became a bestseller in Germany, and its author's identity was revealed as Marta Hillers. Hillers was a journalist and minor Nazi propagandist who spoke German, Russian, and French. There is reportedly some material in the book that was not in her diaries from 1945, so it may have been embellished for publication, though the circumstances are similar to many other accounts of civilian experiences in parts of the city controlled by the Red Army during the Battle of Berlin. There are nasty scenes of battle, as remnants of the German Army try to defend the city against an angry and marauding Red Army, with civilians caught in the crossfire. The Battle of Berlin created one of the most hellish environments in modern times. It has been the setting of a couple of very good films in recent years, perhaps because the devastation was rendered so visually. It is almost as if nothing need be said, making it ideal for the medium of film. "A Woman in Berlin" doesn't actually have a lot of dialogue. It's quiet. The expressions on people's faces match the city in ruins around them. It is unsentimental. Anonyma and Andrei are not heroic, perhaps not even respectable. They are just people trying to make the best of horrible circumstances. In German and Russian with English subtitles that cannot be turned off. The Strand Releasing 2009 DVD includes a theatrical trailer. |
