When the Lion Feeds
$13.09
If you like adventure or historical fiction, or just a good story, then I'd highly recommend "When the Lion Feeds", the first in the original Courtney trilogy by Wilbur Smith, set in east Africa prior to WWI. Smith is not only a great writer, but a superb story teller. This was a real page turner for me, and the ending will leave you scrambling for the next book in the series. Highly recommended.

Feed - DVD

I remember seeing this film when it played theaters in 1992 and loving it then. Re-watching it on DVD made me realize that there are some funny moments - Jerry Brown seems to be the one most caught off guard - but my memory was of more "feeds". Those moments before and after politicians - and newscasters - are on the air and don't realize the cameras and microphones are still "live". Only about 50% of the footage in this 76-minute film are "feeds". The rest are filmed campaign stops during the 1992 New Hampshire primary election. It's only been 15 years but names like Bob Kerrey and Paul Tsongas (who beat Bill Clinton in this primary) seem almost forgotten. And, yep, Ross Perot is there too at the end.

The footage not obtained from TV feeds was shot on 16mm film and was grainy. Add the additional 15 years and it's even grainier. There was no remastering done for this release and, more importantly, there are no bonus. It's films like this that call out for a Director Commentary or at least an interview. How much of the "shot film" was done by the filmmakers and how much was "acquired"? How did they get access? This would get an additional star or two just to have anything extra.

Hindsight is always good and watching Bill Clinton defend the acquisitions of Gennifer Flowers - remember her? - takes on new meaning after the Lewinsky Affair. And watching Hilary campaign for Bill is strange when the current network TV news is full of Hilary running for office.

Hang in for the closing credits and you will see that one of the major financial supports of this film was Michael Moore - man behind "Roger and Me" and "Sicko".

I'm glad it's out and it certainly deserves a place in History Class - along with "The War Room", the fascinating documentary on the Clinton Campaign - but it could have been so much more.!

I placed an order for this book (FEED) on CD on June 25. Three weeks later, I learned through my amazon account, that my order wasn't ever sent to me and I never heard from the seller. There was no explanations given about what happened. I'm really dissappointed in the service for this purchased item. I wanted this book on CD which would have been used for a class that required the book. Now its too late to use for the purpose intended.

World Food Programme Feed Bag,Natural,one size
$35.00
I picked up this bag as a gift for my co-worker. She commented about how she had wanted one after seeing a woman carrying one during a lunch outing. Because it comes unsealed in a plastic bag I was able to take it out and look at it before giving it to her.

When I ordered it I didn't realize that it was reversible, but it is. It has the same FEED logos on either side, so you can choose to carry it either as a burlap or cotton bag. The construction of the bag is also very good, I would expect it to last quite a while with normal use. Additionally the size is perfect for carrying groceries, books, a change of clothes or whatever you need.

Obviously the look, style and use are not the only reason most people will buy this bag. The purpose of the World Food Programme Feed Bag is to raise awareness of the UN World Food Programme. The purchase of every FEED bag will provide food for one child for an entire year in school! It's my opinion that this makes a great gift, not only do you help out a worthwhile charity, but you can give a stylish bag too.
