A Taste of Chanukah
Customer Review: A great album!
I love this album and I’m not Jewish! The music is uplifting and the young performers wonderful. I keep it on the player the entire holiday season.
Customer Review: A tasty audio latka for the ear and soul
The review below captures the essence of the CD. Recorded at Jordan Hall at the New England Conservatory, you may have seen the video broadcast of this performance on PBS. In addition to excellent and stirring renditions of Hanukah favorites, the CD includes the popular SPanish Hanukah song of 8 candle (Ocho Kaandelaros); a humorous Latke Cooking Demonstration by the octogenerian comedian Ms. Chasia Segal; and a blues/gospel rendition of “I Have A Little Dreydl” which will change the way you sing it forever.

Customer Review: Great Look
I orderd these planters last year for the very upscale designed office where I used to work. They fit in perfectly with the rest of the office and looked great! None of us were disappointed.
Deck Designs: Plus Pergolas, Railings, Planters, Benches 
For homeowners, one of the most challenging aspects of building a deck is choosing a design that works both functionally and aesthetically. Deck Designs, an updated and expanded edition of Creative Homeowner’s leading deck book, offers a comprehensive guide to planning and choosing a deck that enhances the home while also serving the family’s needs. The first part of the book covers topics such as how to decide on a design, tips on identifying uses for the structure, and common building themes and variations. Part 2 offers readers some of the best designs from four of the top deck builders in the country. Featuring 31 professionally-built structures, more than 280 full-color photographs and illustrations, Deck Designs provides countless ideas for creating these beautiful additions. Amenities like overhead structures, railings, benches, and planters are also detailed, making this book a complete, one-stop resource for planning and choosing a new or remodeled deck.
Customer Review: Vastly improved my boring low-end project
If it hadn’t been for this little gem of a book, I’d have ended up with exactly what I thought a deck was: a 10×30′ rectangle on stilts outside my back door. Thanks to the inspiring designs outlined here, I was able to upgrade my $4K do-it-yourself deck with some snazzy details and useful layouts with little additional work and expense. Please do yourself the favor of flipping thru the pages of a book like this - if for nothing else than to see how it can be done by the best designers and builders. No, just like me you will never be able to afford the hand-sanded grade A redwood beauties that are featured on a couple of these spreads - materials alone would run into six figures. But you will be able to steal the design of the railing, or perhaps the notion of a split level or a nifty little nook for a bench or some other detail from the top end decks. There’s enough closeups and sketches of the design to run with a concept that you find appealing, and the narrative will help you think thru the elements of your design that might open up new possibilities. After reading it from cover to cover a couple of times I shared the book and my comments on post-its with the contractor I had hired to help me complete my project, and it inspired him to come up with some ideas of his own, as well as better understand where I wanted to go with the project.
Customer Review: A must-have before building a deck
I almost made the mistake of letting the contractors design my deck. They came up with a big boring rectangle. Thank goodness I bought this book first! It is packed with many wonderful ideas, including photos and tips to making a deck interesting and functional. It covers layout, railing design, and yard and use considerations. It is a very small investment for a big project, I suggest that anyone building a deck take a look at this book before proceeding.
