Great bunch of tunes from an awesome show!
One of the great things about the original CSI has always been it's one of a kind music, and this CD is representative of the show's trendy score. The CD features a balance of jazzy, upbeat tracks, as well as the more mystical-sounding, slower pieces. I don't often purchase CDs as I prefer to download individual tracks from iTunes, but this is one I bought and am very glad I did!

Expensive but WAY more than worth it
23 of 24 found this helpful I have 6 dogs, 3 cats, allergies and house full of carpet. Because of this, I needed a vacuum that can keep up with all the fur and dirt, help trap allergens and stand up to heavy, frequent use. I originally purchased a Dyson DC14 Animal and, while it was an excellent vac, the DC17 Animal is head a shoulders above it.
Not because I have a lot of extra money lying around, but because a top flight vac is imperative in this house, after much thought I traded my DC14 for the DC 17 a few months after it came out. The difference between the two is AMAZING. A lot of the problems that the DC14 was known for (clogging roller brush, less than stellar turbo brush, etc.) are a thing of the past. We looked at Oreck and a few other commercial/industrial grade vacs that cost into the four figures, and none of them were as good as the DC17.
PROS:
1. Unbelievable suction! I am always amazed at the crud my Dyson picks up. After I vacuum a room, my allergies know the difference. Never have I had a vac with pick-up power like this one.
2. Non clogging roller/brush bar - I used to have to flip my other vacs over, including the DC14 - to manually cut the hair and stuff off the brush every few times I used the vac. I have never had to do that with the 17. As an added bonus, the roller is encased in clear plastic, so you can see if it is getting dirty or if something is stuck.
3. Powerful attachments - because of the mega suction, the hose attachments work much better. Electric powered attachments are the best, but these are the best suction driven attachments I have seen yet.
4. Improved design and sharp looks
5. Included 5 year warranty - Dyson provides an included 5 year warranty, saving you the expense of purchasing a service contract somewhere.
6. No Bags! - And as much junk as this vac sucks up, it's a very good thing, you'd spend a fortune on bags otherwise.
7. Cleanable filter
8. Nice long hose and cord - you can clean for a long time before you have to unpplug to find a new outlet.
9. If you suck up something too big, it is easy to take the vac apart to get it out.
10. Ease of emptying, great for people with allergies. I do recommend emptying it outside if you can, though. The vac picks up a ton of very fine silt, some of which goes airborne as you empty. I solved this by either emptying into a plastic grocery store bag wrapped tightly around the bottom or taking it outside.
11. Very easy to operate, nothing complicated at all about it.
CONS:
1. It is a little heavy, but nothing extreme. The big handle on the top of the canister makes it easy to carry.
2. Price - of course it is expensive, but with this vac I firmy believe you are actually getting much more cleaning power than you are paying for.
#. Need to clean the inside or the canister - but this is a VERY minor thing, because it rarely needs done and is very easy to do. Sometimes you may need to open the canister and scrape the dirt off the top part where the little holes are. Takes less than a minute.
I would recommend this vac without hesitation to anyone; after owning it, I would never feel that my carpets are clean with anything else.

Excellent, Informative and Easy to Read
I have read a number of Stanley Coren's books and this is by far my favorite. Well researched and well written, this book is full of interesting information that will change the way you see dogs as well as the human/dog relationship. The best part is, this book is so enjoyably easy to read that its wealth of valuable information comes easily and never feels like work or reading a text book the way some non-fiction can. If you have an interest in dogs, give this book a read, I believe that your insight and relationship with your dog will be the better for it.
