A Big Fish in a Little Pond: Exceptional CD Set to Own
Lew Stone, along with Ray Noble and Bert Ambrose, were in the top tier of British Dance bands. Not simply content to play jazz, they had brilliant melodies, distinct arrangements, and the best vocalists (Anne Sheridan, Al Bowlly, Sam Browne). That comes through on this CD which collects all the prime cuts from Stone's heyday in the 30's and late 40's. What separates Stone from his American counterparts is that he never plays tricks with the rhythm. One can dance to the beat without losing the melody. Other composers like Ellington sacrificed everything for experimentation. Lew Stone, like the aforementioned British masters, is a reminder that the real flaws with modern music are its undanceability and cynicism. Turn on this CD to have really exceptional music for "Dinner and Dance".

Ultimate Guide to Hitchcock's Films
I purchased this one for a college course, but got more that I expected. Along with Robin Wood's "Hitchcock's Films Revisited" and David Spoto's "The Dark Side of Genius", this is the absolute guide to what Hitchcock meant when he made these films. However, Hitchcock's discussion also entails gossip about the stars and a significant amount of retrospection, even second-guessing about his own work. There is simply no reason not to have this book. Two of the premiere filmmakers of the 20th century talk shop, yet add something more profound to it. Truffaut's comments are appreciated because he comes from a critical perspective. That is, he was a critic before becoming a director. So when Hitch makes his observations about individual styles in his films, Truffaut can respond and relate them to the larger Hollywood trends of the times. Overall, it makes for a worthwhile read that covers all of his films through "Torn Curtain". (One caveat, Hitchcock also throws in deliberate yarns, especially in talking about his movie "Notorious". I would advise some independent research to corroborate his remarks.)

Compact but Powerful Unit
Euroflex is one of a handful of companies to take the professional laundering equipment found in dry cleaners and garment shops, and bring them to the masses. This product is a home version of their all-in-one ironing boards with steamers. Using this appliance in aspiration mode allows one to iron garments like silk, rayon, or with decorative labels without the risk of burning them. It creates a cushion of air between the clothing and the board.
The vacuum function allows the user to pull the steam through the clothing up to four layers at a time, making ironing denim a breeze. This is the kind of product we need more of as it takes ironing and makes it ridiculously straightforward.
Additionally, the product includes a hook to store it in a closet with a support bar. One of the most unusual but effective products a consumer can buy.
