My passions run deep...from politics to sex, cooking to health care I have opinions. I talk about living with a mental illness & a physically debilitating disorder. Free speech is critical it is our DUTY to uphold its principles. Regardless of the Republicans' views on the subject. I love art. So, I am always on the lookout for fun, frivolous and visually challenging art to view. Anyone can look at a bowl of fruit. It takes an appreciative eye to see beauty in the whimsical.

Isn't she beautiful - look at those eyes!!

I really enjoy photographs that have slightly manipulated in a "digital darkroom". It gives them an "other-worldly" look. I think that this photo has had some slight post-production work done to it. Regardless, I really enjoy the look.

    4out of 5

    Pros: Doesn't Skip, Easy To Set Up, Great Sound, Great night light, Easy Controls

    Cons: Sub Woofer hard to place

    Best Uses: Larger Rooms, Smaller Rooms, Basic Systems

    Describe Yourself: Practical, Tech Savvy, Musically Inclined

    I love the system and it fits well on the headboard of my water bed. But, the cords are short (and I'm just too lazy and cheap to buy new - the ones supplied should be enough) and that makes the sub woofer hard to place. I had to move in a side table for its placement. That inconvenience aside, the sound is wonderful, the colored lights at the bottom of the unit make a great night light (an unexpected bonus), and the remote control makes it a breeze to operate.
    All-in-all, I would highly recommend this product.
