		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine bought himself a Roland MDX-40A desktop milling machine, with the optional ZCL-40A rotary axis.  It was from an E-bay seller.  It comes with a large assortment of tools and accessories.  But they all came in a bag.  Hard to find small items, and not very well protected. As one of our [...]]]></description>

Philips AmbientLED MR16 (10W) Philips makes MR16-form LED lights in various wattages.  I&#8217;m replacing 50W halogen bulbs, but their most powerful LED was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been experimenting with different low-power light options around the house.  CFLs, dimmable CFLs, and most recently some Philips LED bulbs. Since so many of my switches have been replaced with X-10 or Insteon dimmer switches, I need bulbs that can support dimming, or at least not be damaged by it.  The dream bulb would [...]]]></description>

Here are the problems I had with SmartHome&#8217;s template: Labels don&#8217;t quite fit the buttons.  Especially the labels for the large buttons are too small, leave too [...]]]></description>

For example, cable boxes have the ability to let you hide channels you don&#8217;t subscribe to. The manufacturers support this. [...]]]></description>

Reality: A Martini is gin or vodka, with a hint of vermouth, typically (but not necessarily) served in a conical glass. It is not the conical glass that makes a Martini.  It&#8217;s the ingredients.  And the conical glass sucks [...]]]></description>

I watch a lot of these children&#8217;s TV series these days.  Enough to form opinions of them. Big and Small I like it.  I often wonder why Big doesn&#8217;t kick Small&#8217;s self-centered ass to the curb.  [...]]]></description>

The heart of this new draft system is to be a Danby DWC2727BLS.  The DBC2760BLS appears to be effectively identical, with a slightly different arrangement of internal shelves.  This is a &#8220;french door&#8221; wine/beverage centre.  [...]]]></description>

The best watches tend to be relatively inexpensive, while some rather poor watches are priced out of range of all but the very wealthy. By &#8220;best&#8221; and &#8220;poor&#8221;, I&#8217;m referring not to subjective things like aesthetics. I&#8217;m not even going to bother thinking about whether a Gucci [...]]]></description>
