The Bucket List
The Bucket List
“You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you,” says the quietly wise Carter Chambers, played with gravitas and grace by a Morgan Freeman. In Rob Reiner’s moving, often hilarious film The Bucket List, all sorts of people measure themselves against the two heroes, Chambers and his hospital suitemate, Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson). But as Cole finds, having spent his entire life building a Fortune 500 company, none of that much matters when cancer, the great equalizer, pays a visit. The film traces the adventures of the two unlikely friends, who meet in a hospital cancer ward, each given six months to live. The “bucket list” of the title refers to a lifelong list of goals that a teacher of Chambers once advised him to compile–and achieve–”before you kick the bucket.” Soon the two are off on what may be the last grand adventure of their life, vowing to tick off as many goals (skydiving, race-car driving, seeing the wonders of the world) as they can in the time they have left. What starts as a medical melodrama becomes a road trip, yet the men’s mortality realities are never far from thought. The two leads give impressive performances, and remind the viewer of just how few American films focus on the lives and loves of senior citizens. Nicholson even manages to lose his persona in his character, much as he did in About Schmidt. There’s a lovely John Mayer tune, “Say (What You Need to Say),” that’s perfectly matched to the film’s clear-eyed view of life: What does one person leave behind as his true legacy? –A.T. Hurley

Customer Review: Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman light up the screen in the Bucket List
Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman… how good can you get? You get the best male actor ever known and the best African American actor ever put them together in a heart warming, touching movie like this and you have pure gold. I can not say enough good things about the Bucket List. It’s inspiring, moving, and heartbreaking. The best that Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman have to offer. Both make this movie look true to life, effortless acting, and spunk to boot. Putting them together was the best of the best any director, movie studio, or writer could have imagined. Check out the Bucket List… it’ll make you laugh, cry, and feel good in many ways.

A good source for information but to refer to the guide as “complete” would be streching it a bit.

Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm (Black) 
Always know what time it is. The Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm has a 0.9″ green LED display that is easily viewable from across the room, but takes up very little space on your nightstand. It hosts a number of features including automatic time set, automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment, dual alarm, built-in calendar, AM/FM tuner and full power memory back up. The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. Dual alarms with individual alarm indicators let you set two separate wake-up times with differing wake-up settings. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so when the power returns you don’t have to re-set the clock.

Customer Review: a great little clock
This is a great little clock for the money. It didn’t take me long to learn how to set and adjust the time and alarms. Having the option to set two alarms is a nice advantage, especially if one person has to get up earlier than the other. Overall, I think this is a very good, easy to use, economical clock. I’d definitely recommend it to others.
Customer Review: Great dual alarm clock
Very easy to set and use. I saw some reviews that complained that is was not loud enough. I am a very heavy sleeper and it seems quite adequate on my bedside table. Plus the battery backup is a must have feature with summer storms approaching.
