This iPod battery replaces the battery that came with your iPod photo. If yours has stopped holding charge, this battery will give your iPod a new lease of life! If they’re used regularly, it’s not unusual for iPod batteries to wear out after 18 months or so. This battery actually has a higher capacity than the original iPod batteries, so you’ll be able to use the iPod for much longer without having to recharge.

1/2 SIZE RESTAURANT WIRE PAN GRATE / COOLING RACK
Custom cooking for individual portions requires a small grate for draining boiled or fried foods as well as cooling baked products. This chrome plated grate is 8 x 10 inches and fits into a food service standard half-sized bun pan to catch the drips. Dimensions: 8″ x 10″
Customer Review: Fine rack, illiterate buyers….
There are five reviews for this pan and all are horrible. The problem however is not the rack, nor is it Amazon.com. The problem is that all five of these buyers bought this item without reading the product description. It clearly states it’s 8X10 inches and fits in half size BUN pans. Everyone that reviewed had purchased it for a half size sheet pan. I couldn’t let this obvious injustice continue. The Cooling Rack is INNOCENT! In fact, it’s a fine rack. Why amazon has paired it with the sheet pan is beyond me and likely an oversight. Which is even more proof that we as consumers must stay on our toes when buying online. READ READ READ READ READ and for good measure READ again.
Customer Review: cooling rack
I ordered this rack with the 1/2 size sheet pan. It was listed as 1/2 restaurant cooling rack when in reality it is 1/4 not 1/2 as listed. Very poor listing. Someone is not doing their homework.I would give this item a zero rating, but that was not available.

DIY : 1989 - 1999 : A Decade of Doing It Yourself
X is an excursion through deep, soulful underground house music that also revels in the polyrhythms of soul, jazz, and disco. A retrospective of material from Nottingham’s discerning purveyors of chunky house, X is a collection of the edited highlights from the 50 12 inch singles, and 5 albums, on the DiY collective’s labels–DiY discs, Strictly 4 Groovers and Diversion. Mixed seamlessly across two discs by Simon DK and Digs & Woosh–tracks such as “Rumpfunk” and “The Message” languish in-between late-night home listening and that early-morning club atmosphere. This ethos sums up the feel of this faultless album–tracks are either funky four-to-the-floor kick-drum assaults or the more intimate and sensuous late-night grooves of Atjazz, Digital Boogie, Tom Churchill, Groove Orchrad and Schmoov!. Poised between this jump-up dynamic of the dance floor and the tranquillised reverie of blissed-out Balearic type house, X pulls together a mighty project from the fiercely independent and exciting Diy. –Terna Heuston-Jibo

Customer Review: This is House at its best!!
I love dancing to house and I stumbled across DIY when I arrived at uni! This stuff is totally off the mainstream and all the better for it! I don’t mean that it is difficult to like. This is some of the best deep soulful house in existance. I love and so will you!! The other good thing is this isn’t like all the hard house that is so popular right now. This is just fantastic party music!

Customer Review: not enough
i bought the book when i bought the car, a 73 targa , and although the book covers some things , it’s just not enough it tells you a couple of things about buying one, enough to start thinking about it, but it isn’t enough to be your main source of porsche knowledge, it’s to average, and the pictures are just to dark and undetailed the engine revision part is next to useless as it barely covers engine teardown , and doesn’t cover the world of differences in types and models of 911 engines for DIY , 101 projects for your 911 , for engine DIY , How to rebuild your 911 engine , both from Wayne Dempsey are more valuable, and indeed a must have…this one just isn’t and no , i’m not a kid, i’m just lazy and didn’t feel like filling in forms and stuff
Customer Review: Worth having, but not comprehensive
This book is a good basic introduction to early/medium era 911s up to the 911 SC of the early 1980s. There’s a reasonably good section on troublesome areas to watch out for before you buy one, and a very brief history of the model. These sections are finished off with a series of random 911 photographs with some of the stupidest captions ever written. This is a British book, and it shows; the mechanical aspects of the car always come second to the dreaded rust and where to find it (answer = everywhere on early 911s). The main part of the text is taken up with a very comprehensive chapter on body restoration - if welding up old cars is your idea of a great week-end, you’ll love it! There really is a huge amount of information here, and the authors really seem to know what they are talking about. They even cover jobs such as head-liner replacement, and the dreaded windscreen replacement. Its followed by a shorter chapter on rebuilding the engine, which has some helpful photographs and some good information. Its really more of an over-view though, as the 911 engine isn’t something you can rebuild in a couple of afternoons, nor explain in less than 100 pages. The remainder of the book is devoted to random jobs, such as fixing the electrically operated mirrors. Anyone who has an old 911 is likely to find this a useful and informative book, but unfortunately there’s an awful lot of missing information, for example minor components such as the transmission and differential barely get a mention.
