Review title: The history and the memoir are equally strong Product review: Richard Christiansen modestly downplays his role in creating today's amazingly vibrant Chicago theater scene with groundbreaking reviews in the Daily News and Tribune, but that's the only "weakness" in this spectacular history. His research into the earliest days of Chicago theater --150 years ago -- are as vividly realized as those of which he has first-hand knowledge. This volume is a vital resource for understanding the "Chicago school" whose effects have come to touch Broadway, TV, and motion pictures in equal parts.

Review title: If your timing is critical, find another stopwatch Product review: I bought two of these in an emergency to time radio controlled glider flights for high-end competition. This is the worst stopwatch I have ever used. I had to abandon them and borrow watches from other teams. The buttons occasionally double click on their own and sometimes don't make contact to start the timer. When timekeeping is critical, this is NOT the stopwatch to use. It would be fine for keeping track of your workout time or for using as a timer to water your lawn - something that doesn't matter if you are off by several seconds. A quality, competition level stopwatch it is NOT. Unfortunate because it costs as much as some other better timekeeping devices.

Review title: not so great, especially for the price. Product review: This type of bandana does not stay very cold for very long. The ice melts fast. The thick padding keeps you from feeling much of the coolness. I would not buy this product again. It is nice to have an icepack of sorts that will fit around my neck, but the price is too much. You can get just the icepack refills and wrap them in a cloth. For cooling your neck the evercool cooling bananas work much better.

Review title: Boring Product review: This video has the same moves as his older videos. I was disappointed at the lack of variety. The people doing the exercise along with Blanks were out of sync and Blanks himself would forget a step or two. Since getting the video I have used it twice. It does not motivate me to work out.
