The Muppet Show - Season One (Special Edition)
$39.99
I had to have my money refunded due to seller being out of item. I waited 4 weeks or so to give item time to arrive. Seller did not communicate with me about not being able to deliver what I paid for. After I wrote another email to seller saying I would have to give them a bad review, Amazon refunded my money.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Widescreen Edition)
$14.98
Absolutely brilliant movie that kick started a career for Susan Sarandon and Meatloaf. A `B` grade movie with `A` grade performances in acting singing and songwriting. When I originally saw this movie it was a support for Phantom of the Paradise but when I walked out of the theatre it was Rocky Horror that stayed with me. One of a few movies that I can watch time and time again.

The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook
$39.95
If you like America's Test kitchen, you might like this book. It is, as usual a great resource, but after looking through the pages of this book, I can see many repetitions of recipes from other books of the Test Kitchen. I do notice that despite the claim of having all of its' recipes, 650 from 10 years of the show, some seem to be missing.
What you can love about this is how America's Test Kitchen covers almost any question you might have on how to cook their recipes and their advice on types of kitchen equipment and helpful hints just can't be beat; as are their explanations on how they come up with their versions of their recipes
This volume covers: soups and salads, skillet suppers and one pot dinners to chicken, turkey, specific meats and fish, diner dinners, pasta, tex mex, French, take out, grill, sides, brunch, bread, cookies, cake, desserts are all included. There is also a kitchen shopping guide, conversions and equivalents, a 2010 TV episode guide as well as the adequately done index with recipe names and main ingredients. There are colour pictures for about every 3rd or 4th recipe and why the recipe works. There are not as many of the small diagrams in this book as in previous ones that show how to roll and cut cinnamon rolls for example.
The print is good and easy to read. It would make a good basic cookbook or an addition to a collection, as long as you know there will be some duplications from other Test Kitchen books
Also just know if you will be making pies or biscuits, they will be made from scratch, this is not a book for you to expect them to tell you to pop open a can of refrigerated biscuits. The bread section is mostly quick dough, if you are looking for long rising bread recipes, they are not here.
I also wish that the Test Kitchen would give charts for cooking times of different sizes of meats and roasts, after all some of us need to cook a 20 pound turkey for Thanksgiving, a 12 pound bird will just not cut it. However their grill instructions are some of the best around. It's a good book, but I wish it was the comprehensive one that I thought was coming.

The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution
$30.00
I am a high school Biology teacher and was looking for some fresh ideas for presenting Evolution to my students. This book is great for that! Even though some of the book is above the academic level of the students, I have still been able to take numerous excerpts from the book to have my students critically analyze, and they love it.

Very interesting, and sad, how many students think modern dogs such as Pugs and poodles were 'created' and have 'existed' since the beginning of time. That says a lot about the erroneous influences many students are 'taught' to believe.

You'd be surprised, though maybe not, how many students say: "I had no idea evidence like this existed" or "I've never heard that before." Comments like that only confirm my drive to educate people on the mounds of evidence that exists supporting the theory of Evolution. So sad that so many CHOOSE to ignore it.
