Rothco Vintage Paratrooper Messenger Bag - Khaki



Rothco Vintage Paratrooper Messenger Bag - Khaki
Rothco Khaki Vintage Paratrooper Bag / Messenger Bag is a great bag for work, travel and school. Has a large main compartment and adjustable strap for comfort. Specifications: 15" X 11" X 4", hang tags

Customer Review: Great product

This is a great bag for school. I use it everyday to carry books and other things in it. Also, the three compartments on the inside makes it very easy to organize everything.

The only thing I have against the bag is that the strap is a bit too thin and it doesn't provide a lot of support if you are carrying a very heavy load.

However, other than that this is a very useful bag. Very much worth the price.

Customer Review: Quality Purchase......

This puurchase was a very good one, if I needed another one I would purchase another one, also the service was great............THANKS....





Sport Fish of Florida



Sport Fish of Florida
This full color 256-page book from long-time fishing legend and Florida Sportsman Magazine Sr.Editor Vic Dunaway features his 50-plus years of fishing knowledge. Each of the 231 species is illustrated with original full-color artwork from renowned marine artist Kevin R. Brant. The book answers many common questions, providing specific information about the type of fish, its range and habitat, identifying features, whether or not it is good to eat, the average and record size of each fish and the best fishing methods to catch them.

Customer Review: Overall Great Book

I think the book is pretty good. The pictures are detailed and colorful, then it gives the basic lowdown on all the fish, and I really like that it gives you at least an idea of edibility. I also liked that they included a section for freshwater fish. I kind of wish it could have talked more about typical methods to catch the different fish, but I guess the book can't have everything..Overall a great book.

Ebooks for Profit and Publicity


How would you like to find a great and easy way to get a lot of free publicity for your online business and also get a second stream of income?

Whether you wish to cost-effectively promote your current business or web site, or you wish to get a new significant income stream, publishing yourself is an excellent idea that deserves your serious consideration. Why? Because book publishing is a $25 billion industry in the U.S. alone, it touches millions of lives, it is very viral, it powers the information economy, it feeds the need to know things (a need that people will always have), and you can get into it right now very easily both for profit and promotional purposes. It is an industry that is growing tremendously as people feel the need to know more and more. The publishing industry is almost five times larger than Hollywoods movie industry. You can get in on it right now, in a few minutes, and start using it to cost-effectively promote your business or have a new income stream.

Anyone can be an author, especially when it comes to nonfiction books and ebooks. Everybody has at least one book in them. You are a unique person, and that makes you posses a unique collection of knowledge, experiences and perspectives that thousands of people out there would wish to hear about. Perhaps you know how to make great candles at home. Or you may know how to market certain products well. Or you may be a great listener. Or you may have some great skills when it comes to looking after pets. Perhaps you know how to save and invest money very well. Or you notice that your friends love to listen to you when you talk sports because of all that you know. These and many other skills are in high demand and desired by certain people all over the world. You do have a book inside you. Everyone does. And with todays electronic publishing and marketing options, you can produce it for almost no money and market it for very little and still profit very well.

Even if you do not wish to make money in publishing, ebooks and books are excellent ways to promote your regular business, especially online businesses. Ebooks especially are fantastic at achieving this. This is because the top three activities performed online are downloading, searching for information and emailing, and ebooks are downloadable information products that can be emailed. They are highly viral, getting passed on from one person to another if they contain useful information. Therefore, whatever business you may be in, by writing a short ebook with useful information related to your industry you establish yourself as a credible authority, get the trust of your customers, get yourself considered as a point of reference, and best of all you get a useful product that you can give away free at no cost to you and have people pass it on to each other thus giving you free promotion. An informative, small ebook can end up being passed on to thousands of potential customers!
at no cost to you. Of course, your free ebooks would have to contain genuinely useful information that is somehow related to your products and services that you do sell. They would also contain references to your products and ordering information. Your ebooks would become your free sales reps, duplicated and passed on from customer to customer even while you sleep.

You can easily learn how to write ebooks by looking at the various web sites such as Dan Poynters Para Publishing web site and many others. (See http://www.imagesofone.com/articles/reviews.asp for over 100 URLs to useful sites regarding all aspects of ebook and book writing and promotion). Writing is easy for non-fiction works. Just write in a natural conversational way. Write the way you talk to people. Next, get it in the right format. If you are going to have it printed, you may wish to consider making it easy for yourself by using the services of iUniverse or Xlibris. These two companies will get your book in print for as little as $99 as a print-on-demand title and get it available on Amazon.com and 200 other online bookshops. Your book will also be available for order from any bookstore in North America. If you are creating an ebook, then the two most popular formats to make it in are Adobe Acrobat PDF and Microsoft Reader. PDF files can be read by over 30 million Acrob!
at users (and new users can download the reader free). Microsoft Reader is also free and, as a bonus, can read the files even on Pocket PC computers. You can find a free PDF writer software package. The Microsoft Reader creator is free.

Writing is just 10% of the job involved. Most of the work, the 90%, comes in when it comes to getting people to know about your ebook. Like any other business, marketing is 90% of the job. Fortunately, it is extremely easy and affordable to market books and ebooks if you know exactly what to do.

Only a small percentage of all books published are sold in book shops! Yes, the vast majority of books and ebooks are sold outside of bookshops! This is probably the most surprising thing to new authors. So where are they sold? Well, they are sold in dozens of places, including:

Online
Book clubs
Corporations
Book clubs
Associations and foundations
Retail outlets
Specialty shops
Direct mail
Catalogs
Libraries
In cross-promotions
In the incentives marketplace
Packaged together with complimentary products
And dozens of other places!

However, getting reviews by the top reviewers and the press is the single most cost effective and powerful way of getting sales for your books and ebooks. First of all, the reviews will get you publicity and drive retail and wholesale sales your way. Also, when you do get the reviews, quote those reviews on your book cover, your web site, your press releases, your sales materials, when you ask for more reviews, and whenever you tell people about your book orally or in print. Reviews greatly increase your book sales by increasing the confidence people have in your book. People are often skeptical and will not trust you straight away until they see that many people already do trust you and your work. Reviews in the press also get you plenty of publicity. And finally, most wholesalers and libraries depend on reviews to figure out what books they shall buy. So use reviews and testimonials extensively!

But dont stop there. There are hundreds of places and ways you can sell your book. For many books, bookstores only account for less than 10% of their sales. Yes, even best-sellers! Publishing a book truly makes you into a marketing expert because you simply have to sell, sell, sell. But worry not, for it is easy. Be willing to learn from people who know how to sell books and you will find it easy. Fortunately, there is plenty of material out there that shows you exactly how to sell books. Get into it! it could be the best thing you have done for yourself recently!

The series is as good as it gets. Video is stunning with many unique video that has never been seen. HD is absolutely beautiful, makes you feel like you are there. Would highly recommend.

Customer Review: Excellent photography and info

This series is just beautiful to look at and educational also. Occasionally the narration jumps locations fast enough that by the time you figure out where in the world you are, you jump again. It has the splendor of an IMAX, and can breed the same sort of hopelessness also. What a wonderful world we live in!

Writing is just 10% of the job involved. Most of the work, the 90%, comes in when it comes to getting people to know about your ebook. Like any other business, marketing is 90% of the job. Fortunately, it is extremely easy and affordable to market books and ebooks if you know exactly what to do.

Only a small percentage of all books published are sold in book shops! Yes, the vast majority of books and ebooks are sold outside of bookshops! This is probably the most surprising thing to new authors. So where are they sold? Well, they are sold in dozens of places, including:

Online
Book clubs
Corporations
Book clubs
Associations and foundations
Retail outlets
Specialty shops
Direct mail
Catalogs
Libraries
In cross-promotions
In the incentives marketplace
Packaged together with complimentary products
And dozens of other places!

However, getting reviews by the top reviewers and the press is the single most cost effective and powerful way of getting sales for your books and ebooks. First of all, the reviews will get you publicity and drive retail and wholesale sales your way. Also, when you do get the reviews, quote those reviews on your book cover, your web site, your press releases, your sales materials, when you ask for more reviews, and whenever you tell people about your book orally or in print. Reviews greatly increase your book sales by increasing the confidence people have in your book. People are often skeptical and will not trust you straight away until they see that many people already do trust you and your work. Reviews in the press also get you plenty of publicity. And finally, most wholesalers and libraries depend on reviews to figure out what books they shall buy. So use reviews and testimonials extensively!

But dont stop there. There are hundreds of places and ways you can sell your book. For many books, bookstores only account for less than 10% of their sales. Yes, even best-sellers! Publishing a book truly makes you into a marketing expert because you simply have to sell, sell, sell. But worry not, for it is easy. Be willing to learn from people who know how to sell books and you will find it easy. Fortunately, there is plenty of material out there that shows you exactly how to sell books. Get into it! it could be the best thing you have done for yourself recently!

This series is just beautiful to look at and educational also. Occasionally the narration jumps locations fast enough that by the time you figure out where in the world you are, you jump again. It has the splendor of an IMAX, and can breed the same sort of hopelessness also. What a wonderful world we live in!

The Bible of Marketing Ebooks


The ebook from Michael Cheney really is the bible when it comes to make a successful website.

I highly recommend this ebook. This should in fact be the first ebook you buy, before you start any online business. The reason that I say this is that after reading this ebook, I'm forced to make a lot of big changes to my existing websites. And this takes a lot of time. But I hope it will be worth the effort. For those of you who don't have a website yet, but want to start making one in the near future, this ebook will be absolutely essential to your success. Buy this ebook!!

The thing many webmasters do wrong with their websites, is that they start marketing a site that will not make any sales in the first place. You should first focus on how to make your site a successful selling machine. Then you can begin the marketing process.

This is what you will learn in this ebook.

You will learn four essentials that you need to get right in order to earn money from your website. This information is covered in detail in four chapters. Throughout the ebook, you will be given exercises to work through that will help you capture and internalize what you learn as you go along. The exercises really help you to understand how to implement the information in this ebook into your own website.

Next, you will learn how to announce your website on the Internet. You are guided in what you should do and often more importantly, what you should not do. For example, Michael covers in detail, "7 ways of how to drive visitors away from your site."

You can read this ebook from cover to cover the first time. Then simply refer to it every time you want to change something on your site or when you start a new site. But it's always important that you really need to apply what you have learned. Just reading the ebook and not using that information, won't make your website any better.

As a webmaster I know that doing things right the first time, without going through a lot of trial and errors, will save you a lot of time and money. So even though this ebook is priced at $197. I'm sure it will save you money buying it. I've made all the errors that one could ever make, when it comes to making a website. And I hate to think of all the money I used on all kinds of ebooks and websites in the hunt for online success. So take my word for it. This ebook will save you money!

There are also a lot of bonus products that comes with this ebook. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I'm sure that they are of the same quality that the ebook.

Lion King



Lion King
Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Disney...Greedy Genius

Ok, I love Disney. I am a 22 year-old male. I have no shame about the fact that I love these movies. They were a part of my childhood, so now I am buying them. It's just too bad I can't buy the Lion King brand-new because of that STUPID vault!!! Sure, Disney has some genius minds that realize if they withhold something, people will pay more for it. But do they really need to? If my company had the money and assets like Disney does (considering they own ESPN) i believe that i would not lock up my greatest films just so I can sell them for 30 or 40 dollars five years from now. True, it's a smart move but it makes some of the fans resent them. I just wanna buy The Lion King.

Customer Review: Lion King

I recently purchased this item from gassga568105 and not only did the product arrive promptly, but the quality of the movie was great. The Lion King is a Disney classic with memorable characters and art. I recommend this movie for anyone with children or adults interested in Disney cartoons.

Customer Review: Bullfrog Blast

I ordered the Bullfrog Webkinz for my sister for her birthday because she loves frogs. My daughter has the pink poodle, but the seam came undone underneath. It wasn't hard to fix, but a little annoying. I wish they were a little bit larger, but I like the price, so I guess it all works out. Overall a great toy. My kids are always fighting my husband and I for a turn at playing the games online!

Customer Review: bullfrog webkinz

Webkinz is a favorite of my daughter, my 7 yr old son always watches her play with them on the computer. He asked santa for one and he really loved it. This bullfrog is so cute and a good size. Great shipping and good packaging. This gift is perfect for a boy or girl.



A New Journey



A New Journey
Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric ("Dúlaman" is best known from Clannad's legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation ("Caledonia," Dougie McLean's love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel's poignant "Laschia Ch'io Pianga"), to movie hits ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a delicately lovely, a cappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya's "Newgrange"). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground -- but this is exactly what the act's target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silver claddagh charm. --Christina Roden

World Without End



World Without End
Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most anticipated sequel of the year-World Without End.

Unabridged edition read by John Lee

Customer Review: Insufferable Throughout, interesting at some points

This is a review for both The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End.



In both books, there's too much sex, too much randomness, to much suffering and misery.



I don't think Ken Follett is a very mature writer. There are some immature phrases, some awkward wording (repetition of characters' names instead of using pronouns). He's not polished. There's too much damn vengeance. It becomes insupportable and silly.



WAY too much sex. It becomes tiresome and distasteful.



And the anachronisms!

Never mind that the f-word was probably not around yet, and if so, then barely. I can say with absolutely certainty that no one used the phrases "spill the beans" or "I'm up to it" or "splitting up" or "shag" or "girlfriend/boyfriend".



That last one: are you SERIOUS? When I say the word "boyfriend", I seriously almost had a heart attack.



And "SEXY"? You have got to be kidding. NO ONE IN THE TWELFTH OR FOURTEEN CENTURIES EVER USED THE WORD "SEXY". THE WORD "SEXY" DID NOT EXIST.



This author has clearly never written historical fiction before Pillars of the Earth, and it shows.

The characters are modern, the wording is modern, the explanations are modern.



In World Without End, Deux-ex-machina pops up up SO MUCH, saving Ralph's worthless life so he can bounce back to rape another woman, kill another man, make more "mischief", wreck some peasants' lives.



Frankly, these characters are RECYCLED.

Godwyn is just inexplicably evil. Hm. Where have we seen an evil churchman before? Not Bishop Waleran from Pillars of the Earth, surely!?



Philemon, too, fits this mold.



Oh, and, of course, Caris and Merthin, the frustrated and long-suffering lovers, who, because of society, cannot marry and live together. Hmm. Just like Ellen and Tom, perhaps? Or Jack and Aliena?



AND, most glaringly, RALPH, for no particular reason, is just cruel, and is apparently the reincarnation of William Hamleigh. Inconceivably brutal nobleman w hose favourite pastimes include brutal rape, murder, more rape, and some more murder? Clearly.



AND it was annoying that he kept emphasizing that these people were descendants of the former characters.

Okay, then WHY WOULD IT TAKE ANOTHER 200 YEARS TO HAVE JACK'S CARPENTRY SKILLS MANIFEST THEMSELVES IN MERTHIN? OR WILLIAM'S EVIL IN RALPH? OR WALERAN'S EVIL IN GODWYN? OR REGAN'S IN PETRANILLA?



And why, WHY, if your brother was a CONVICTED RAPIST, would you hesitate to give him up, MERTHIN? How the hell could you allow things to go on normally knowing that your brother raped a woman, then hundreds, including nuns, killed nuns, and men and women and children, pillaged and stole, and KILLED HIS OWN WIFE?!!



ALSO, it seems unfair to me that Merthin has how many children by different mothers and Caris has only slept with...um, him?



I understand the brutal, unfair relationship between serf and lord. I'm a history person. I get it. It was exploitation, and was often cruel.



HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SEE WILLIAM OR GODWYN OR RALPH MESSING UP THESE PEASANTS' LIVES?



HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO HEAR, IN CRUDE DETAIL, HOW WILLIAM/RALPH RAPES YET ANOTHER WOMAN?



How many disappointments and frustrations and mix-ups and plots and complications and vengeful plots must I endure? It 's a brutal manipulation of the reader's feeling.



AND that "childhood secret" in "World Without End" really was anti-climactic and not dramatic at all. He barely explained it. In fact, there was almost nothing to it; it explained itself. I guessed it before the whole thing was revealed.



Also, it seemed in World without End that Follett just wanted to get past the 1000 page mark.



This is not the worst book I have ever read. There are more than a few moments of identification/sympathy with the characters, but Follett does the SAME THING in this book as in the last. He makes some evil, evil, evil, evil, character who does so many evi, evil, evil, evil things that it is revolting, but then he keeps him alive so long that by the time he finally is killed in some anti-climactic manner, the reader is just like, "Oh, finally. Next?" (William, Ralph, Godwyn.)





Okay, yeah, we can understand the corrupt underworkings of the church, etc., and life in the medieval time, but there are some serious flaws. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.



I disliked this book. At some points I hated it.



Customer Review: WHAT A FANTASTIC "READ"

JUST FINISHED READING THIS BOOK; IT IS THE BEST READ I'VE HAD SINCE "DOWN THE COMMON". STARTED IT ON 03/08 AND FINISHED ON 03/09. IT IS AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER, THAN "PILLARS OF THE EARTH", AND JUST GRABS AND KEEPS YOUR ATTENTION. ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT, AS YOU ARE READING, YOU SEE THE "MOVIE" OF IT IN YOUR MIND. BRAVO KEN FOLLETT !!!!!!!!

Not as good as I had hoped. I had hoped I could tailor the program more to my needs in providing professional services. However, after one weekend of work, I was ready to take a crowbar to the program.



Quickbooks is a good, inexpensive accounting product, but you had better work the way it wants you to and take time to go through all the tutorials before trying to use it.

Customer Review: Average sound

Unless your laptop's soundcard is not working, or your speakers are barely hearable I wouldn't recommend this. Odds are your laptop does as much as these speakers.



It is well built, looks resistant and it does a decent job. Do not expect very good quality.

Customer Review: Like it so much bought it for a friend.

The Bible of Marketing Ebooks


The ebook from Michael Cheney really is the bible when it comes to make a successful website.

I highly recommend this ebook. This should in fact be the first ebook you buy, before you start any online business. The reason that I say this is that after reading this ebook, I'm forced to make a lot of big changes to my existing websites. And this takes a lot of time. But I hope it will be worth the effort. For those of you who don't have a website yet, but want to start making one in the near future, this ebook will be absolutely essential to your success. Buy this ebook!!

The thing many webmasters do wrong with their websites, is that they start marketing a site that will not make any sales in the first place. You should first focus on how to make your site a successful selling machine. Then you can begin the marketing process.

This is what you will learn in this ebook.

You will learn four essentials that you need to get right in order to earn money from your website. This information is covered in detail in four chapters. Throughout the ebook, you will be given exercises to work through that will help you capture and internalize what you learn as you go along. The exercises really help you to understand how to implement the information in this ebook into your own website.

Next, you will learn how to announce your website on the Internet. You are guided in what you should do and often more importantly, what you should not do. For example, Michael covers in detail, "7 ways of how to drive visitors away from your site."

You can read this ebook from cover to cover the first time. Then simply refer to it every time you want to change something on your site or when you start a new site. But it's always important that you really need to apply what you have learned. Just reading the ebook and not using that information, won't make your website any better.

As a webmaster I know that doing things right the first time, without going through a lot of trial and errors, will save you a lot of time and money. So even though this ebook is priced at $197. I'm sure it will save you money buying it. I've made all the errors that one could ever make, when it comes to making a website. And I hate to think of all the money I used on all kinds of ebooks and websites in the hunt for online success. So take my word for it. This ebook will save you money!

There are also a lot of bonus products that comes with this ebook. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I'm sure that they are of the same quality that the ebook.

A New Journey



A New Journey
Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric ("Dúlaman" is best known from Clannad's legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation ("Caledonia," Dougie McLean's love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel's poignant "Laschia Ch'io Pianga"), to movie hits ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a delicately lovely, a cappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya's "Newgrange"). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground -- but this is exactly what the act's target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silver claddagh charm. --Christina Roden

World Without End



World Without End
Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most anticipated sequel of the year-World Without End.

Unabridged edition read by John Lee

Customer Review: Insufferable Throughout, interesting at some points

This is a review for both The Pillars of the Earth and World Without End.



In both books, there's too much sex, too much randomness, to much suffering and misery.



I don't think Ken Follett is a very mature writer. There are some immature phrases, some awkward wording (repetition of characters' names instead of using pronouns). He's not polished. There's too much damn vengeance. It becomes insupportable and silly.



WAY too much sex. It becomes tiresome and distasteful.



And the anachronisms!

Never mind that the f-word was probably not around yet, and if so, then barely. I can say with absolutely certainty that no one used the phrases "spill the beans" or "I'm up to it" or "splitting up" or "shag" or "girlfriend/boyfriend".



That last one: are you SERIOUS? When I say the word "boyfriend", I seriously almost had a heart attack.



And "SEXY"? You have got to be kidding. NO ONE IN THE TWELFTH OR FOURTEEN CENTURIES EVER USED THE WORD "SEXY". THE WORD "SEXY" DID NOT EXIST.



This author has clearly never written historical fiction before Pillars of the Earth, and it shows.

The characters are modern, the wording is modern, the explanations are modern.



In World Without End, Deux-ex-machina pops up up SO MUCH, saving Ralph's worthless life so he can bounce back to rape another woman, kill another man, make more "mischief", wreck some peasants' lives.



Frankly, these characters are RECYCLED.

Godwyn is just inexplicably evil. Hm. Where have we seen an evil churchman before? Not Bishop Waleran from Pillars of the Earth, surely!?



Philemon, too, fits this mold.



Oh, and, of course, Caris and Merthin, the frustrated and long-suffering lovers, who, because of society, cannot marry and live together. Hmm. Just like Ellen and Tom, perhaps? Or Jack and Aliena?



AND, most glaringly, RALPH, for no particular reason, is just cruel, and is apparently the reincarnation of William Hamleigh. Inconceivably brutal nobleman w hose favourite pastimes include brutal rape, murder, more rape, and some more murder? Clearly.



AND it was annoying that he kept emphasizing that these people were descendants of the former characters.

Okay, then WHY WOULD IT TAKE ANOTHER 200 YEARS TO HAVE JACK'S CARPENTRY SKILLS MANIFEST THEMSELVES IN MERTHIN? OR WILLIAM'S EVIL IN RALPH? OR WALERAN'S EVIL IN GODWYN? OR REGAN'S IN PETRANILLA?



And why, WHY, if your brother was a CONVICTED RAPIST, would you hesitate to give him up, MERTHIN? How the hell could you allow things to go on normally knowing that your brother raped a woman, then hundreds, including nuns, killed nuns, and men and women and children, pillaged and stole, and KILLED HIS OWN WIFE?!!



ALSO, it seems unfair to me that Merthin has how many children by different mothers and Caris has only slept with...um, him?



I understand the brutal, unfair relationship between serf and lord. I'm a history person. I get it. It was exploitation, and was often cruel.



HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO SEE WILLIAM OR GODWYN OR RALPH MESSING UP THESE PEASANTS' LIVES?



HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO HEAR, IN CRUDE DETAIL, HOW WILLIAM/RALPH RAPES YET ANOTHER WOMAN?



How many disappointments and frustrations and mix-ups and plots and complications and vengeful plots must I endure? It 's a brutal manipulation of the reader's feeling.



AND that "childhood secret" in "World Without End" really was anti-climactic and not dramatic at all. He barely explained it. In fact, there was almost nothing to it; it explained itself. I guessed it before the whole thing was revealed.



Also, it seemed in World without End that Follett just wanted to get past the 1000 page mark.



This is not the worst book I have ever read. There are more than a few moments of identification/sympathy with the characters, but Follett does the SAME THING in this book as in the last. He makes some evil, evil, evil, evil, character who does so many evi, evil, evil, evil things that it is revolting, but then he keeps him alive so long that by the time he finally is killed in some anti-climactic manner, the reader is just like, "Oh, finally. Next?" (William, Ralph, Godwyn.)





Okay, yeah, we can understand the corrupt underworkings of the church, etc., and life in the medieval time, but there are some serious flaws. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.



I disliked this book. At some points I hated it.



Customer Review: WHAT A FANTASTIC "READ"

JUST FINISHED READING THIS BOOK; IT IS THE BEST READ I'VE HAD SINCE "DOWN THE COMMON". STARTED IT ON 03/08 AND FINISHED ON 03/09. IT IS AS GOOD, IF NOT BETTER, THAN "PILLARS OF THE EARTH", AND JUST GRABS AND KEEPS YOUR ATTENTION. ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT, AS YOU ARE READING, YOU SEE THE "MOVIE" OF IT IN YOUR MIND. BRAVO KEN FOLLETT !!!!!!!!

Not as good as I had hoped. I had hoped I could tailor the program more to my needs in providing professional services. However, after one weekend of work, I was ready to take a crowbar to the program.

Children's Books - How to Keep Children Turning Those Pages


How should a children's book be constructed?

A very important element in the construction of a piece of creative writing is a strong beginning. If the opening is not catchy, then readers will fairly rapidly lose interest.

Children tend to have a short attention span and want to be quickly engrossed in a story.

This can be difficult for the author when they are introducing characters and storyline.

One option for a catchy opening could be a flash back paragraph which promises more exciting things to come.

I also find that opening with a conversation is quite a good maneuver.

You want to get the children turning pages. You do not want to lose them on the first page!

The body of the creative writing piece should intrigue and excite the reader.

Every chance to create drama should be seized. In fact, once you have written about an incident, go back over it several times, each time adding extra drama. If you are writing a fantasy children's book for example, anything goes, so dig deep into your imagination and bring out the most fantastic thing you can think of. The idea is to excite and intrigue. Drama involves conflict to make people care about your characters and your story.

Lead up to dramatic and suspenseful situations with care. The right mood has to be created and the timing has to be spot on. The reader wants to be tantalized, but not bored. The priming of the reader for the dramatic event makes the event even more exciting. Afterwards there should be a lull in the pace as the story moves towards the next dramatic development. All the time there should be a promise of more exciting things to come.

For more exciting creative writing, put in a variety of moods.

Children respond very well to humor. Humor in the right place can relieve tension and make a character more likeable. Of course, care should be taken with the use of humor (unless you are actually wanting to confront the reader) to ensure it is not inappropriate.

Sad situations have their place in a children's book too. However, sadness should be followed by something positive and optimistic - a lesson has been learnt and/or the characters have had some sort of spiritual awakening. Both the characters in the story and the reader can smile once again.

Your children's book concludes when all the loose ends have been tied up. Read the story through several times to make sure that nothing remains that is unexplained.

The ending should be strong and leave the reader satisfied. The reader should be wondering about the lives of the characters and hopefully wanting to meet them again. That of course, gives you the opportunity for the sequel!

Saitek P990 Dual Analog Game Pad



Saitek P990 Dual Analog Game Pad
Instantly configure your pad's controls to the perfect set-up for First Person Shooter games with a single button press. The ergonomic controls with soft touch handles increase grip and comfort during hours of gameplay. Advanced programming is provided by Saitek Smart Technology (SST) software. System Requirement: Windows XP & XP64

Customer Review: Not as good as the last one, but...

I bought this controller to replace my old Saitek P880, the previous iteration of this controller, which finally gave out on me after four years of abuse.



For the most part this is still a good, solid controller, except for one factor - The D-pad, compared to the one on my P880, feels incredibly cheap and sometimes sticks, and did so right out of the box. The feel of the other buttons is similar or identical, but the D-pad is rather annoying for games I use it in when it triggers. Mind you, it's maybe one time out of a hundred and fifty or so, but still annoying when it happens.



For the record, I use the controller for the games Phantasy Star Universe and Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst, which are both third-person action games, and the d-pad is used only for menus. For what it's worth, if you play Phantasy Star Universe, this is the only controller I've found that actually has enough buttons for all the functions you can map to a controller, finally removing my need to still use the keyboard for certain things.



If you like controllers with six face buttons rather than the four-button layout that seems to be more common, this is a good one to get, just mind that there can be issues with the D-pad. If your game doesn't use the D-pad, then there isn't a problem I can think of.

Customer Review: Solid control but poor programming software

Overall i am pleased with this gamepad. It works great as long as the game itself has a good control setup of its own as i found the downloadable programming software to be somewhat frustrating. it really isn't very user friendly or pretty(just a minor grip). for some reason assigned buttons just randomly won't do what they are supposed to and have to be reassigned and then still might not work. it shouldn't be difficult or take this much effort to program a controller. however once setup it is very nice.



The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife



The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife

The need for change as we get older—an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another—is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives—not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood—when it’s time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born.
The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening.
In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called “middle age” need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we’ve never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination—thought-forms that don’t flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50.
What we’ve learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill—not a destiny of a life that’s simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived.
Midlife is not a crisis; it’s a time of rebirth. It’s not a time to accept your death; it’s a time to accept your life—and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.



Customer Review: The Best is Yet to Come

I have long respected the writing of Marianne Williamson. Her latest book was the most comfortable of everything I have read of hers.



I like books that stretch my thinking. This book did not really do that for me. But, what it did so beautifully was to soothingly add some context to the journey of life. I thoroughly enjoyed both the book and the author's reading of the book on audio tape.



Anyone racing through life and wondering about the meaning of life will enjoy the author's perspective and her sharing of personal vignettes that illustrate her point that our best years can be in front of us. This book has a wonderful sense of peace and hope.



Tired of self help books written from gurus preaching at you from on high? This book is a refreshing contrast to that model. The author shares her wisdom with a clear sense that she too is on a journey to understand this thing we call life. She does so in a manner that has the reader feeling, at least for the moment (and hopefully longer) that life is like a beautiful flower unfolding and reaching toward the heavens.



Well done, Marianne. And to think that your best is yet to come.





Customer Review: Fantastic !!

This book is the best book I've read on 'self' or improving self in my entire life. I was amazed at what I was reading. Marianne Williamson wrote exactly what I have been feeling and thinking for about seven years. I am now 49 years old... and I just am so thankful to read this book. Read it, it has so much to say, and every page is packed with unbelievable information and it is all true, at least for me it is. It's an amazing help for entering this age... "Of Miracles!"

Customer Review: A Bad western movie!

The acting and dialogue are bad. The file is slow and boring. The are no "fighting scenes" in the whole movies. What I mean is that in all those scenes, only one side was shooting at the other for a couple of minutes. Then it ended.



Save your money on this.

These "mutants" are hated and feared by humanity at large, and the X-Men come together to protect both mutants and human from prejudice and evil mutants alike. You'll get to follow their incredible adventures as they span four amazing decades.

Customer Review: A perfect gift for the comic book fan who has almost everything

My husband loved this as a gift. He is a long-time comic book fan and this gave him an opportunity to read some of the very first editions that are way before his time. They look amazing on the computer, plus you can print if you want. (with 15,000+ pages I can't imagine why you'd want to) I was concerned about Mac compatibility, but since the thing is just a PDF interface, you just need Acrobat, no special Windows-only software. We're looking to pick up the Spiderman collection next.

Customer Review: Nice read

It is just as it says. A pdf scan of all comics. It's really neat to read some of these again. Great value and good entertainment.

It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we’ve never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination—thought-forms that don’t flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50.
What we’ve learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill—not a destiny of a life that’s simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived.
Midlife is not a crisis; it’s a time of rebirth. It’s not a time to accept your death; it’s a time to accept your life—and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.



Customer Review: The Best is Yet to Come

I have long respected the writing of Marianne Williamson. Her latest book was the most comfortable of everything I have read of hers.



I like books that stretch my thinking. This book did not really do that for me. But, what it did so beautifully was to soothingly add some context to the journey of life. I thoroughly enjoyed both the book and the author's reading of the book on audio tape.



Anyone racing through life and wondering about the meaning of life will enjoy the author's perspective and her sharing of personal vignettes that illustrate her point that our best years can be in front of us. This book has a wonderful sense of peace and hope.



Tired of self help books written from gurus preaching at you from on high? This book is a refreshing contrast to that model. The author shares her wisdom with a clear sense that she too is on a journey to understand this thing we call life. She does so in a manner that has the reader feeling, at least for the moment (and hopefully longer) that life is like a beautiful flower unfolding and reaching toward the heavens.



Well done, Marianne. And to think that your best is yet to come.





Customer Review: Fantastic !!

This book is the best book I've read on 'self' or improving self in my entire life. I was amazed at what I was reading. Marianne Williamson wrote exactly what I have been feeling and thinking for about seven years. I am now 49 years old... and I just am so thankful to read this book. Read it, it has so much to say, and every page is packed with unbelievable information and it is all true, at least for me it is. It's an amazing help for entering this age... "Of Miracles!"



Comanche Moon



Comanche Moon
Texas Rangers Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae pursue three outlaws, Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump, Comanche horse thief Kicking Wolf and a Mexican bandit king. Now in their middle years, they also struggle with their personal lives, Gus with Clara Forsythe, the love of his life, and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young prostitute who loves him. Meanwhile their partners-in-arms Deets, Jake Spoon and Pea Eye Parker help the Rangers protect the advancing western frontier from the defiant Comanches who are determined to defend their land and way of life. Prequel to Lonesome Dove, and based upon the novel by Larry McMurty.

Customer Review: A Bad western movie!

The acting and dialogue are bad. The file is slow and boring. The are no "fighting scenes" in the whole movies. What I mean is that in all those scenes, only one side was shooting at the other for a couple of minutes. Then it ended.



Save your money on this.

Customer Review: Excellent

If you love the Lonesome Dove series from Dead Man's Walk, Lonesome Dove, "Return to Lonesome Dove," and Streets of Laredo and then Lonsome Dove the series and The Outlaw years. Then your going to love Comance Moon. Now all we need is a better

Closure to Newt's life as a final chapter. If you don't understand this, start to watch from the biggining to the missing end.

Customer Review: Covers too much ground??

Just about any Weber carb is in this book, plus Zenith Strombergs and SU carburetors ... with four or five pages dedicated to each. In other words, a mile wide and an inch deep. But where else can you find this much information between two covers? Just a shame it's published on newsprint paper...

You'll get to follow their incredible adventures as they span four amazing decades.

Customer Review: A perfect gift for the comic book fan who has almost everything

My husband loved this as a gift. He is a long-time comic book fan and this gave him an opportunity to read some of the very first editions that are way before his time. They look amazing on the computer, plus you can print if you want. (with 15,000+ pages I can't imagine why you'd want to) I was concerned about Mac compatibility, but since the thing is just a PDF interface, you just need Acrobat, no special Windows-only software. We're looking to pick up the Spiderman collection next.

Customer Review: Nice read

It is just as it says. A pdf scan of all comics. It's really neat to read some of these again. Great value and good entertainment.

Talking Tapes - All About the Benefits of Audio Books


Audio books were originally created in 1932 by the American Foundation to the Blind for one main purpose: as a learning tool for the disabled. At this point in time, a record player was used to record the audio books. It wasn't until 1952 that the first compact audio cassette was released by Caedmon, the first commercial publisher of audio cassettes.

It was a collection of short stories and poems entitled A Child's Christmas in Wales and Five Poems; it was both written and read by Dylan Thomas. While the original intent of audio books was merely to provide a learning tool for the blind, they have come to serve so many more purposes in today's society. Audio books have so many advantages--using audio tapes can benefit just about everyone.

The Making of Audio Books--A New Industry

The need for audio cassette books has created a new, profitable industry. In 2002, the audio book industry was estimated to be valued at two billion dollars. The growth rate from 1996 to 2002 was forty-one percent.

Currently, there are approximately 25,000 titles on audio cassette, CD, or that can be downloaded off of the internet. The need for audio cassette books has provided a slew of new jobs in the industry.

The three main people involved in the creation of an audio cassette tape are: the director or producer, the abridger, and the audio engineer. The director serves as a go-between for the original author and the abridger, and is also responsible for making sure that the story reads smoothly. The abridger ensures that the audio version of the book is faithful to the original story. Finally, the audio engineer is responsible

for the technical aspect of the audio books and makes sure that the sound is focused and clear.

Benefits Of Audio Books--Learn, Baby, Learn

There are many ways in which audio books can be beneficial to society, but among them is the obvious advantage: they serve as an excellent learning tool. In addition to all of the books that have been recorded on tape, textbooks have been recorded on tape and CD as well. This makes is easier for students, especially if they are involved in some sort of distance learning education.

Other learning tools that have been transferred to audio books are lecture notes. This is helpful if, for example, a college student is out sick and misses a lecture given by their professor. They can simply purchase or download the lecture for their listening pleasure. Yet another way that audio books have been used for educational purposes is to teach another language. Many adult students have used audio cassette books to learn a foreign language.

These books are also helpful to immigrants who need to learn the language native to the country they now live in. Yet another way that audio books have been used in education are as self help books. Information and instructions have been recorded on all sorts of topics, such as meditation or public speaking. Such audio cassette books can offer a skill or life improvement.

Books on tape have also found another use in education that is becoming increasingly popular--in schools.

Teachers have found audio books to be useful in the classroom. They can be helpful in introducing students to books that are above their reading level, aid students with pronunciation of large words, and they can introduce new vocabulary to students.

Many teachers have found that allowing students to listen to a recording of the book while following along with the text is particularly helpful to slower readers. However, it is important to remember that audio cassette books should not become a substitute for instruction by the teacher.

Books on tape are a great educational tool that everyone can use.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 2 Dark Motives
CSI 2: Dark Motives - In this game you'll take on the roles of the hit show's characters, and solve 5 gruesome cases with 21st-century technology!

Customer Review: Brain Power or NO

To really test your investigative skills, you need to play this game on the most difficult level. Anything less than that makes this game a click through to some degree, meaning that all you have to do is click on the highlighted items and it will take you to the next step.

Other than that, the game is interesting. The cases are interesting. But sometimes they can be a bit frustrating trying to find out what piece of evidence will crack the case for you.

Another frustrating thing is the fact that you cannot do anything while the characters are speaking. But I've discovered that right-clicking or hitting the spacebar cancels the current speech. However, when you are required to answer questions at the end, some of the questions are based on what was said.

Try it and see for yourself. Have fun.

Customer Review: Great Game Could Use More Excitement

The game was great, but I think that it could use more excitement. It gets pretty boring after a while. I finished the game in like two days. It is something that I will play over again though.

Jeff Beachbum Berry is Americas leading authority on tropical drinks and Polynesian pop-culture. Tag along as he explores the origins and evolution of famous Tiki cocktails and the people behind them. Beachbum Berry conducted over 100 interviews with originators of the Tiki movement; people as colorful as the drinks they created. This book is packed with fresh new recipes and updated classics.

Read untold tales of those behind the drinks. Vintage images, new recipes and great full-color photography. Specs: Dimensions: 5 1/2W x 8 1/2H. 183 pages.

Customer Review: Not just the drinks, but the history too

It's always a pleasure when a book exceeds your expectations, and this one was such a pleasurable surprise.



I had bought based upon a favorable review in the New York Times, but that review focused on the quality and authenticity of the recipes for tropical drinks. And, certainly, the book delivers on this.



But that's just part of the book. The rest of the book focuses on the story of how these drinks (born out of a prohibition-repeal era that was awash with rum) and their makers fueled the whole growth of Tiki Bars and eventually led to the (re-)introduction of Polynesian theming to Hawaii.



If you like light history with your dark rum, this is the book for you!



Michael Clayton (Widescreen Edition)



Michael Clayton (Widescreen Edition)
Attorney Michael Clayton is a “fixer,” the go-to guy when his powerful New York law firm wants a mess swept under the rug. But now he’s handed a crisis even he may not be able to fix. The firm’s top litigator in a $3-billion case has gone from advocate to whistleblower. And the more Michael tries to undo the damage, the more he’s up against forces that put corporate survival over human life â€" including Michael’s. George Clooney portrays Michael, backed into a career corner that offers little room to fight free in this suspense- and star-packed thriller written and directed by Tony Gilroy (writer/co-writer of the Bourne movie trilogy). Keep your eyes on Michael Clayton. He has some life-or- death decisions to make. Fast.

Customer Review: Previews are better than the movie

The preview look great, but the movie was a bit of a let down.A little slow and not as much action as indicated.

Customer Review: Truth Changes

Michael Clayton is a movie about a "janitor" for a large law firm. The janitor is a lawyer, some people say he is a private investigator, who handles the tough problems that can't be presented in court.



The cast is excellent. George Clooney is believable as the firm's "miracle worker". Tilda Swinton is effective as a success driven attorney and Sydney Pollack makes a good boss for Michael.



The filming and technical support make the story gripping and very exciting. The action, which has several flashbacks, is rapid and thrilling. This is a fun movie.

When choosing a fly fishing book, look at the author first. Are they qualified to write this book? What experience do they have in the sport? Can they provide you with compelling reasons to take his or her advice? You will get more accurate information from a person who has personal experience to offer.

Is the book easy to read? When you are reading a book filled with technical language, it can be overwhelming and it is not likely to help you much. The author should define unfamiliar language early on in the book and keep reminding you throughout the text what they are referring to.

Don?t opt for long winded tomes of pages akin to War and Peace. They are not likely to give you much good advice plus the boredom factor has to come into play. A lot of great information can be packed into a few pages. Opt for the shorter book rather than the longer one so you get what you pay for!

Fly fishing books are wonderful sources of information when you are learning about this sport. Find a book that you are comfortable reading that also gives you what you are looking for. The choices are vast, so go online or get to the bookstore today and learn what you need to about the sport of fly fishing!

Western Digital WDG1NC5000N My Book World Edition 500 GB Ethernet Network Storage System



Western Digital WDG1NC5000N My Book World Edition 500 GB Ethernet Network Storage System
Designed for home users, creative professionals, workgroups, small offices and anyone looking for shared storage, the My Book World Edition offers a surprisingly simple and secure way to access and share data, photos and music anywhere in the world. Wherever you are, My Book World Edition is accessible just like a local drive using Windows Explorer. From any PC, remotely open, edit, and save files as if they are right there with you. My Book World Edition combines 500 GB of networked storage, backup software and remote access software to make it the most versatile and powerful product in its class.

Customer Review: Works great as a network attached drive

I've been using this drive for over a month now and haven't had any problems with it since I uninstalled MioNet and the Retrospect back up program it came with.



I mainly bought this drive for archive and backup purposes and as long as you don't install the software that comes with the drive, it works great. It was unusable with MioNet installed on my PC. About 50% of the time the drive could not be found or was off line. Retrospect is just as bad, it's problems (no space left on drive, can't find backup set, unable to perform backup and others)may be caused by MioNet. I would have rated this drive five stars if MioNet and Retrospect were usable.



After I uninstalled MioNet and Retrospect, the drive works flawlessly and I haven't had any problems. It may not be the fastest drive on the planet, but I can stream a 640x480 MP4 video from the drive to my laptop.



A nice feature on this drive is you can plug in another 500GB USB drive to add to your storage capacity as you need it. I'm not sure that it will do RAID however.



I found Western Digital support pretty good. I had a few questions and they answered each within a day.



If you want a network attached storage device, this one will work as long as you don't install MioNet.







Customer Review: I Should Have Known...

Messed with this drive for a week trying to get it to work properly over wireless 'N' with XP and MacOS machines. All machines could read but writing was an issue for one of the XP boxes for some reason. Loaded up 50GB then the drive quit.



Bottom Line:

- Little or no documentation - you gotta' rely on forums;

- It's very slow over wireless;

- Would 'quit' in the middle of large write jobs - over 1GB;

- I'm stuck with it after the failure (WD will send me a replacement)

- As mentioned, whatever you do, don't install MioNet

Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator



Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
What if one device could help you navigate anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, while offering travel tips, storing your favorite tunes and photos, providing translation assistance, and more? That device is here, and it's not much bigger than a deck of cards. The Garmin nüvi 350 is set to revolutionize what we expect from a GPS navigation device, or from any device for that matter.

Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators



The nüvi 350 is a portable GPS navigator, traveler's reference, and digital entertainment system, all in one. View product demo (requires Flash).



A simple touchscreen interface and voice guidance allow you to keep your eyes on the road. View larger.


Listen to an audio book or an MP3 while you're on the road. View larger.
Design
With a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nüvi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.

Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nüvi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nüvi 350's internal and SD card memory.

Navigation
The nüvi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nüvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nüvi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.

As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.



The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.
Tools for the Journey
Navigation is just part of the journey, and the nüvi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.

In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.

Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nüvi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.

*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.


What's in the Box

Which nüvi is Best for You?
For a slightly higher pricepoint, Garmin's nüvi 600 and 700 series devices have richer feature sets including: MP3 players, JPEG photo viewers, the ability to receive traffic and weather information, bluetooth for hands-free calling, FM transmitters that deliver audio through your cars own stereo system, and multi-destination routing that will tell you the best way to make a trip that involves several destinations.

We help you avoid the time-consuming, trial-and-error approach to performing net-to-gross calculations. QuickBooks instantly determines the gross amount needed to match a determined net amount, in one easy step.

2 Direct Deposit requires activation, a currently supported version of QuickBooks, a QuickBooks Payroll subscription and Internet access. Additional fees apply. Terms, conditions, pricing, features, service options and support subject to change without notice.


Customer Review: Renewal

Enhanced Payroll is a good product and saved our company a lot of money in payroll services. Just keep in mind if your subscription expires before you have a chance to print off your end of year forms such as W2 and 1099, you will have to purchase another year to get them printed. Kinda like your information are being locked up and ransome is required.

Customer Review: QB 2007 User

This is an excellent product. Activation, something I was worried about, was a breeze and did not require any assistance from Quickbooks Customer Service.

Although experience is a great teacher when you are learning about fly fishing, you may also want to look into the myriad of books that are available on the topic. Fly fishing involves a lot of things, and you?ll need to know about these things if you?re going to be effective in the sport. Fly fishing books are a great way to start learning!

Online books are another great way to get information about fly fishing. There are many e-books available for download. Look for the ones that will fit your needs.

Can they provide you with compelling reasons to take his or her advice? You will get more accurate information from a person who has personal experience to offer.

Is the book easy to read? When you are reading a book filled with technical language, it can be overwhelming and it is not likely to help you much. The author should define unfamiliar language early on in the book and keep reminding you throughout the text what they are referring to.

Don?t opt for long winded tomes of pages akin to War and Peace. They are not likely to give you much good advice plus the boredom factor has to come into play. A lot of great information can be packed into a few pages. Opt for the shorter book rather than the longer one so you get what you pay for!

About 50% of the time the drive could not be found or was off line. Retrospect is just as bad, it's problems (no space left on drive, can't find backup set, unable to perform backup and others)may be caused by MioNet. I would have rated this drive five stars if MioNet and Retrospect were usable.



After I uninstalled MioNet and Retrospect, the drive works flawlessly and I haven't had any problems. It may not be the fastest drive on the planet, but I can stream a 640x480 MP4 video from the drive to my laptop.



A nice feature on this drive is you can plug in another 500GB USB drive to add to your storage capacity as you need it. I'm not sure that it will do RAID however.



I found Western Digital support pretty good. I had a few questions and they answered each within a day.



If you want a network attached storage device, this one will work as long as you don't install MioNet.







Customer Review: I Should Have Known...

Messed with this drive for a week trying to get it to work properly over wireless 'N' with XP and MacOS machines. All machines could read but writing was an issue for one of the XP boxes for some reason. Loaded up 50GB then the drive quit.



Bottom Line:

- Little or no documentation - you gotta' rely on forums;

- It's very slow over wireless;

- Would 'quit' in the middle of large write jobs - over 1GB;

- I'm stuck with it after the failure (WD will send me a replacement)

- As mentioned, whatever you do, don't install MioNet

Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator



Garmin nüvi 350 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator
What if one device could help you navigate anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, while offering travel tips, storing your favorite tunes and photos, providing translation assistance, and more? That device is here, and it's not much bigger than a deck of cards. The Garmin nüvi 350 is set to revolutionize what we expect from a GPS navigation device, or from any device for that matter.

Which nüvi is Best for You?: Click here to see a quick, simple comparison of features for all Garmin nuvi GPS navigators



The nüvi 350 is a portable GPS navigator, traveler's reference, and digital entertainment system, all in one. View product demo (requires Flash).



A simple touchscreen interface and voice guidance allow you to keep your eyes on the road. View larger.


Listen to an audio book or an MP3 while you're on the road. View larger.
Design
With a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nüvi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.

Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nüvi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nüvi 350's internal and SD card memory.

Navigation
The nüvi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nüvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nüvi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.

As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).

Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.



The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.
Tools for the Journey
Navigation is just part of the journey, and the nüvi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.

In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.

Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nüvi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.

*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.


What's in the Box

Which nüvi is Best for You?
For a slightly higher pricepoint, Garmin's nüvi 600 and 700 series devices have richer feature sets including: MP3 players, JPEG photo viewers, the ability to receive traffic and weather information, bluetooth for hands-free calling, FM transmitters that deliver audio through your cars own stereo system, and multi-destination routing that will tell you the best way to make a trip that involves several destinations.

Customer Review: Renewal

Enhanced Payroll is a good product and saved our company a lot of money in payroll services. Just keep in mind if your subscription expires before you have a chance to print off your end of year forms such as W2 and 1099, you will have to purchase another year to get them printed. Kinda like your information are being locked up and ransome is required.

Customer Review: QB 2007 User

This is an excellent product. Activation, something I was worried about, was a breeze and did not require any assistance from Quickbooks Customer Service.
