Do you have that friend who you think is smart and is curious as hell about how everything works? Well if by everything its the human body then this is the perfect DVD to give as a gift. I love science, which is why I practice what I do, however this movie takes me a step beyond simple biology and chemistry. It brings in quantum physics and relates it to the human body and cells on the atomic level. A movie that I found fascinating while watching, yet more importantly, it left me thinking about a lot of things differently long after I was done watching it. I love thought stimulation and this movie did exactly that, for me. Again, like most things I enjoy watching, a background in the sciences will certainly add to the enjoyment, while a lack of it can end up stimulating something that has been dormant, a sense of curiosity that wont go away.

Summer is here, and being outdoors is a must for me. Chapped lips are very amateur, unattractive, painful, and simply unwarranted when considering the number and variety of products currently on the market for its prevention. Keeping your lips moist seems like an easy enough task for anyone to achieve, this really should be a year round activity and actually a must in cold winter temperatures too ( I however reside in Houston, and thus a cold winter is simply nonexistent). The first product I picked was the Blistex lip balm (medicated). The taste, texture, and ease of use were all decent. I left the container in the car while at the beach and when I returned, the wax in the container had melted and leaked out of its container, making a mess in my cup holder (where I had placed it). Poor design and perhaps wax that melts too easy(?) were definite soars in the rating of this product, which makes it absolutely useless for people who live in hot climates (me in the summer), perhaps had I rated this product while on a ski trip, It would have done better, but that wasn’t the case, and the product didnt have a warning stating that it should only be used under colder temperatures.

Having recently set up my home entertainment system, Ive had to accumulate a few components that Ive had to wait and use before rating. The oppo DV-981HD is a DVD player that I would have never found, had I simply visited a retail store, simply because its an online available item only. While the future of higher definition DVD players is being fought to death by blu-ray and HD-DVD, I decided to get something rather cheap (in comparison) while getting the optimal performance, as I patiently wait in the sidelines for one of the two formats to die off, so I could buy the winner. A 1080p Up-Converting Universal DVD Player is the answer for now, it comes at a fraction of the cost of the previously mentioned giant formats and it even comes with an HDMI cable itself. Having good reviews from cnet.com simply helped my decision to purchase this DVD player. For the money spent, the quality and look of this DVD player are well worth it.
