The Best book binding equipment Articles on WineLibraries Check Out E-books
Almost everything now is being made easy for us from the way we communicate, we now have mobile phones and the internet where we send our emails, to the way we do business transactions we are definitely living in a modernized world. Now, there is also an upsurge of library websites which are becoming information portals. We can already track our books and personal favorites or receive lists of suggested reading materials from the web. This process is being made possible by Electronic Books or E-books.
Will E-books change our reading experience? Are we going to carry a mobile device with us instead of tons of textbooks soon? No! They are not intended to replace the print collection in our libraries. However, since the library has limited funds, they are not always able to maintain their collection of print materials. At least, with E-books, the services found inside a library are now being offered online and lending can be 24/7. You can now borrow from anywhere in the world and have instant portable access to the library collection.
E-books have features that help us understand and study certain materials. With it, we can test ourselves with interactive quizzes, watch a film segment, highlight important text, and make notes and bookmark pages for review. They have built-in dictionaries that will make it easy for us to check definitions of words. More so, they also enable us to search for specific words or phrases much faster than they could scan text while flipping through the pages of a paper book.
Consumers Advantages
E-books are ideal for those who want information in the quickest possible time. It can provide us with video clips, sounds, color images, games, children's activities, and many other interactive multimedia elements. They also have search engine and electronic navigation technology.
Authors Advantages
Now, authors have an easier means to publish what they want and how they want it to be and distribute their work at relatively low cost. The E-book and the internet technologies will allow anyone who has written a book to publish and market an E-book worldwide.
Business Advantages
Creating and publishing E-books is by far one of the most profitable business ventures anyone can have. Once you have the required knowledge and tools, creating an unlimited number of E-books will cost you absolutely nothing. In fact, it will only bring bountiful profits for you. You can deliver your E-books on demand via automatic download or by email immediately after a customer pays for them. They are also great marketing products. They are great lead generators. They are great back-end and up-sell products. Once you start your own E-book business and your E-books start to spread in the web, you won't be able to stop the profits from rolling in, even if you wanted to. E-books have a magic little way of floating around the internet for years and years after their initial release.
Long Term Environmental Advantages
E-books do not use paper so fewer trees will be slaughtered or pulped. They also do not use commercial grade inks and printing chemicals. They are only being printed when people want to print them. There will be no more warehouses full of millions of overprinted or unwanted books. More so, they are being delivered electronically so less petroleum products and associated transport vehicle resources will be used.
What I mentioned is just a small handful of E-book advantages. With these, they will definitely become a part of our future. How big that part is remains to be seen. They will not make real books obsolete because most of us still love to search and browse, flip through, and explore real books. Let us not consider the rise of online access a threat because in fact, its a great help aside from the fact that they don't take up any shelf space, it will also allow librarians to spend less time and money in shelving books and ordering supplies again and more time in helping online and in-person customers to find their needed materials. Eventually, E-books are a new development destined to become important.

It's Time
It's Time
Michael Bublé's assured debut and the tireless year of globe-trotting touring he spent promoting it elevated the 20-something Vancouver native into the first rank of pop crooner revivalists. His sophomore studio follow-up largely turns on the same formula that helped make his considerable vocal prowess so attractive to mainstream audiences, mixing the nigh flawless, if expected Sinatra-channeling ("I've Got You Under My Skin") with more playful and inviting renditions of pop standards like the Gershwin's "A Foggy Day in London Town," "Feeling Good," "Try A Little Tenderness" and Cole Porter's "I've Got You Under My Skin." But it's the eclectic mix of more contemporary material the singer seasons them with -- apt tribute to Bublé hero Bobby Darin -- that keeps him walking the narrow tightrope between artistic intrigue (a blues-tinged vamp of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "How Sweet It Is," Leon Russell's lovely "Song For You," with a guest turn by Chris Botti) and the kitsch-laden abyss ("Quando, Quando, Quando"'s Euro-centric duet with Nelly Furtado, a ring-a-ding-fling with the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" that echoes fellow Canadian crooner/rival Matt Dusk's more successful flirtation with Lennon-McCartney). Arranger/producer Tommy LiPuma offers Bublé a welcome swinging jazz showcase on "The More I See of You," a bracing respite from the rest of producer David Foster's slick, if typically bloodless MOR production. -- Jerry McCulley [Note: A special edition including two bonus tracks--"Dream a Little Dream" and "Mack the Knife"--is also available.]

Customer Review: Call Me Irresponsible by Michael Buble, CD
Wonderful singer! I love it that he mainly sticks to the old classics, Sinatra tunes in particular. Buble even sounds like Sinatra in some songs. Anyway, love his choice of music, plus he's always got a great orchestra behind him. Quality CD!
Customer Review: Great!
I love this cd, I love the mood that it creates, as you can just kick back, and take a breather, sitting around the fire, or cooking a meal, just soothing music... just wonderful.
Water for Elephants: A Novel
Water for Elephants: A Novel
As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.
Customer Review: Three Ring Masterpiece
A truly fascinating novel - for those of us old enough to remember going to the circus in small towns during the summer and now old enough to share the anxiety and depression of aging it covered the whole gamut. Only the treatment of both animals and those on the low end of the pay scale could be considered distracting from the good memories.
Customer Review: A surprisingly great book
I was a bit skeptical at first, but soldiered on, as the book was recommended by a friend who truly knows books. She was right! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is just quirky enough to be satisfyingly fun, while the characters are so well drawn that we feel as though we have met them somewhere. I've recommended this book to numerous friends, and my copy is now circulating among them. Enjoy!

Customer Review: Don't believe everything you READ
This product is probably the most controversial electronic product out there !
With all the reviews I read: "self policing, etc" I was very hesitant to buy the drive.
BUT, I am sooooo happy I did.
The drive installed in 3 minutes. Since I have Windows Vista, I had to download the new Minionet software from the WD support site.
Once, I did the rest was easy. I saved a bunch of mp3 and backup of my DVDs. I was able to access these files (when logged in through my account) from several anywhere.. from work, from a friends house.
Now for couple of cons:
1) Wireless transfers can be very slow for large files (4-5GB files)
2) If you log in yourself, you can access the media files from any computer with internet connection. If you send an "invite" to someone else, you can cannot share the media files.
Hope this helps with your purchase decision. I'm glad I bought it.
Customer Review: Avoid Unless You're a Masochist
I was a fairly loyal WD customer until this piece of junk drove me up the wall. All of the other complaints here are true:
The Mionet software is useless
The much-touted remote access feature requires a monthly subscription --blatant false advertising
It is unbelievably slow
And most important, it is just horribly unstable, throwing up all kinds of erratic behavior which will have you wasting hours to try and correct.
Avoid like the plague and shame on WD for subjecting an unsuspecting and (formerly) loyal customer to this abuse!!!

All's well, that ends well. We have now come to the ending of comic book subscriptions. Until we meet again, adios.
comic book subscriptions For Your Reading PleasureHow to Prevent Theft of Your Ebooks - Part 1: Ebook Copyright
While the majority of web users are honest people, you must accept that some people WILL try their best to steal your products.
For this reason, it's important that you take some measures to ensure that your product isn't being illegally copied and/or distributed.
In this article (the first of two on this subject) I'll look at the issue of copyright protection.
In part two I'll be looking at practical measures you can take to prevent people from accessing your download pages or passing your ebook on to others
ESTABLISHING YOUR COPYRIGHT
This information is intended to act as an introduction to the concept of copyright. Please be aware that I'm not a legal expert. If you've any doubts regarding copyright then you should seek legal advice.
Copyright is the name given to the protection of your 'right to copy' a published work.
When you own the copyright to a work, you've the right to reproduce any number of copies of that work in any way you choose. You can also grant copy rights to others.
Once you create a published work, your copyright to that work applies automatically. You do not need to formally register your copyright in order for your copyright of that work to legally
exist. In fact, you do not even need to place a copyright statement on the work.
Having said that, it's still a good idea to formally register your copyright.
In the event that someone has stolen you work, having registered your copyright may entitle you to claim for compensation from the offender. If you haven't formally registered the work, then legally seeking compensation can be much more difficult.
For a closer examination of this important point, read this article by Mark Levine:
http://www.clickandcopyright.com/why_copyright.htm
THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD DO
If you are hesitant about paying fees to register your copyright, then there are still other measures you can take to make sure that the world knows who owns your work (you should follow these steps EVEN if you DO register copyright).
You should include your copyright statement at the bottom of every page of your book (and your website and everything else you create).
Including a copyright statement is no guarantee that your work will not be stolen. It's also no assurance that you'll be able to recover royalties or loss of earnings from someone who infringes your copyright.
However, it stamps the work as being yours. It makes it clear to those who might be tempted to copy it, that they don't have that right.
Example of a copyright statement...
Copyright 2003 Your Name (or company name). All rights reserved worldwide.
No part of this e-book may be copied or sold.
Note: Some people use (c) (the letter 'c' in brackets) instead of the official copyright symbol (the letter 'c' surrounded by a circle). In many countries the law does not recognize this as a copyright symbol and it's not a given that a court will accept it as valid. You should ALWAYS write the word 'Copyright' in FULL as part of your copyright statement and you should use the official copyright symbol.
You should also include a copyright page in your e-book. Take a look at the copyright information in any e-book (or paper book) for ideas on what you should include on this page.
Another idea that may be useful - in a legal sense - is to print out a copy of your e-book on paper and save a copy on to a diskette (or CD-ROM).
Place both the paper version and the diskette in an envelope and mail it to yourself via REGISTERED mail. Hold on to the receipt for the mail and when the package arrives to your home, put it away in a SAFE place (together with the receipt) WITHOUT opening it.
This is proof that you had the document in your possession at the date of the mailing. If you do this before your e-book goes 'live' then you're sure that nobody can have copied your work before this date.

Angel Sales I Sight Light
Customer Review: Angel Sales I Sight Light
I was really disappointed in the quality of the Angel Sales I Sight Light. Granted, it only cost $12.95, but it only lasted one day. We were not rough on it and used it exactly the way it was meant to be used and yet it stopped working after a few uses. Don't waste your money.
Customer Review: great concept but..
I bought 2 of these to try out, because one spot light usually creates too much shadows when you are reading, and with this product ,one is not bright enough for reading.
The biggest problem when trying to buy LED lights is that they don't specify the brightness of the light like other types of illumination products, there are no units of Watts, Lux or even mcd number for this unit, even on the package, all it says " Powerful Ultra-Bright white lifetime LED" no way to compare to other LEDs out there in the effective brightness. Although I quick search on the internet showed that these small 5mm LEDs come in brightness ranging from 800 to over 30,000 mcd (millicandles), You don't have to care about this if all you need is a task light to work under the sink, but if you want to do some precisiong work then this becomes essential info.
This unit is VERY bright if you use it to see in pitch dark places (one unit is bright enough) if you want to use this to read in the dark, you will probably be better off using 2 units together, one on each ear, this way you have more light, less shadow and your eyes don't get tired fast.
I actually bought these to work on some precise lab work; I thought they would be lighter than the Halogen Headlamp I am currently using,
2 problems; these LEDs are not bright at all if you have ambient light. And the biggest weakness of this product is the EAR Ring,
It is made of Hard Stiff THIN plastic which makes it very uncomfortable after a while. Which I hope they'll fix in the future.
Also it is hard to adjust where the beam falls.
All in all, Great Flash light replacement, Nice reading light.
The Appeal
The Appeal
The jury was ready.
After forty-two hours of deliberations that followed seventy-one days of trial that included 530 hours of testimony from four dozen witnesses, and after a lifetime of sitting silently as the lawyers haggled and the judge lectured and the spectators watched like hawks for telltale signs, the jury was ready. Locked away in the jury room, secluded and secure, ten of them proudly signed their names to the verdict while the other two pouted in their corners, detached and miserable in their dissension. There were hugs and smiles and no small measure of self-congratulation because they had survived this little war and could now march proudly back into the arena with a decision they had rescued through sheer determination and the dogged pursuit of compromise. Their ordeal was over; their civic duty complete. They had served above and beyond. They were ready.
The foreman knocked on the door and rustled Uncle Joe from his slumbers. Uncle Joe, the ancient bailiff, had guarded them while he also arranged their meals, heard their complaints, and quietly slipped their messages to the judge. In his younger years, back when his hearing was better, Uncle Joe was rumored to also eavesdrop on his juries through a ?imsy pine door he and he alone had selected and installed. But his listening days were over, and, as he had con?ded to no one but his wife, after the ordeal of this particular trial he might just hang up his old pistol once and for all. The strain of controlling justice was wearing him down.
--From Chapter One of The Appeal
Politics has always been a dirty game.
Now justice is, too.
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town’s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.
Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided?
The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice.
The Appeal is a powerful, timely, and shocking story of political and legal intrigue, a story that will leave readers unable to think about our electoral process or judicial system in quite the same way ever again.
Customer Review: Quick Read
The book was delivered quickly. As I read, I began to view the political climate of America quite differently. This book was written with the same confiction as John Grisham's early books, A Time to Kill and The Firm. I worried that Grisham had lost his touch, but this book shows that He's back
Customer Review: The best of John Grisham yet
After a long time I'm compelled to recommend a book to all lawyers- present or past, all judges- present , past or wannabes, with or without a conscience and every person who has the remotest interest in law and politics. It was a thrilling fictional version of all that we already know and indeed the best work of John Grisham so far.
As a former lawyer, I strongly disagree with all those who would venture to argue that those judges who are appointed are not much better than the elected ones. They sadly missed the whole point. The question here is not what is better- election or appointment. But it is a revelation that the fabric of moral corruption is the same, whether it is the United States or any other place on this earth.

Wilton Cupcake Fun Book
Wilton Cupcake Fun Book
This new book from Wilton features 128 pages of over 150 new ideas for cupcakes, petit fours, mini-cakes and other individual desserts. It contains an extensive collection of projects and recipes featuring step-by-step decorating instructions, along with a delicious assortment of recipes for these individual treats, including fillings and icings for special occasions and holidays as well as day-to-day treats. Patterns are included in the book for creative cupcakes as well as a complete product listing from Wilton to complete your designs. Softcover, 8-1/4 x 10-3/4 with beautiful photographs.
Customer Review: we love this cupcake book
My husband and I love this cupcake book so much that we have bought it numerous time to give to our grown up children so that they can have the fun of making spectacularly whimsical cupcakes for their friends and children. The recipes for muffins and cakes are great. Every year wilton updates the creative aspects of a cake form and this one is just spectacular. The designs are doable by those with almost no coordination or cake decorating experience. The key is always to make your own frosting so it is thick enought to hold shapes, or add a LOT of powdered sugar to commercial frostings to thicken them. Anyway, there are literally 150 full color cupcakes. There are your hilarious farm animals, awesome swimmers for whom the cupcakes are inflatable innertubes, wedding cupcakes, floral, clowns, fruits, bunnies, seasonal and more. You will need to get some tips you may not normally have, but the ones you need are in the directions. I highly recommend the 24 cupcake stand Wilton makes for displaying your cupcakes. I use a 3 tiered dessert rack that is also a carousel that spins because I already have it for cakes. But there are some beautiful cupcakes that look awesome displayed on the top of any stemed goblet that has been turned upside down so the base become a litte table for the cupcake. The angel, penguin, and Christmas themes are just adorable, but there are sophisticate cupcakes too. If you buy the silicon cupcake holders you will be thrilled. Thoughful almost effortless fun for a loved ones special occassion.
Customer Review: Typical Wilton adverbook
I was a little disappointed in this book when I first got it. Since all you see on the cover is some "clown" cupcakes using the silly-feet baking cups (which I also purchased) I was expecting more uses of the silly-feet (I counted five), but it really covers whimsical cupcakes of all sorts, many of which would be suitable to make with children (easy to make).
It's really just an idea book and a catalog of Wilton products and what you can do with them. There is a helpful section called "The Perfect Cupcakes; How to bake, ice and decorate", and there are about six pages of recipes. Most cupcake instructions are from 1/8 to 1/2 page long, right next to a big, clear picture.
After getting over the "it wasn't what I expected" part of receiving this book, and seeing that my boyfriend seems rather enthusiastic about making really whimsical cupcakes and loves the silly-feet, I like this book more and more. Just don't expect anything sophisticated looking in it OR that many silly-feet ideas. If you are familiar with the typical adverbook that Wilton puts out, you shouldn't find any surprises here, and some of the recipes, which are a blend of from-a-mix and from-scratch, for the most part look very tempting.
There are six pages of really cute Halloween cupcakes, including a vampire in a coffin, and some skeletons/ghosts/tombstones.

comic book subscriptions For Your Reading PleasureHow to Prevent Theft of Your Ebooks - Part 1: Ebook Copyright
While the majority of web users are honest people, you must accept that some people WILL try their best to steal your products.
For this reason, it's important that you take some measures to ensure that your product isn't being illegally copied and/or distributed.
In this article (the first of two on this subject) I'll look at the issue of copyright protection.
In part two I'll be looking at practical measures you can take to prevent people from accessing your download pages or passing your ebook on to others
ESTABLISHING YOUR COPYRIGHT
This information is intended to act as an introduction to the concept of copyright. Please be aware that I'm not a legal expert. If you've any doubts regarding copyright then you should seek legal advice.
Copyright is the name given to the protection of your 'right to copy' a published work.
When you own the copyright to a work, you've the right to reproduce any number of copies of that work in any way you choose. You can also grant copy rights to others.
Once you create a published work, your copyright to that work applies automatically. You do not need to formally register your copyright in order for your copyright of that work to legally
exist. In fact, you do not even need to place a copyright statement on the work.
Having said that, it's still a good idea to formally register your copyright.
In the event that someone has stolen you work, having registered your copyright may entitle you to claim for compensation from the offender. If you haven't formally registered the work, then legally seeking compensation can be much more difficult.
For a closer examination of this important point, read this article by Mark Levine:
http://www.clickandcopyright.com/why_copyright.htm
THE MINIMUM YOU SHOULD DO
If you are hesitant about paying fees to register your copyright, then there are still other measures you can take to make sure that the world knows who owns your work (you should follow these steps EVEN if you DO register copyright).
You should include your copyright statement at the bottom of every page of your book (and your website and everything else you create).
Including a copyright statement is no guarantee that your work will not be stolen. It's also no assurance that you'll be able to recover royalties or loss of earnings from someone who infringes your copyright.
However, it stamps the work as being yours. It makes it clear to those who might be tempted to copy it, that they don't have that right.
Example of a copyright statement...
Copyright 2003 Your Name (or company name). All rights reserved worldwide.
No part of this e-book may be copied or sold.
Note: Some people use (c) (the letter 'c' in brackets) instead of the official copyright symbol (the letter 'c' surrounded by a circle). In many countries the law does not recognize this as a copyright symbol and it's not a given that a court will accept it as valid. You should ALWAYS write the word 'Copyright' in FULL as part of your copyright statement and you should use the official copyright symbol.
You should also include a copyright page in your e-book. Take a look at the copyright information in any e-book (or paper book) for ideas on what you should include on this page.
Another idea that may be useful - in a legal sense - is to print out a copy of your e-book on paper and save a copy on to a diskette (or CD-ROM).
Place both the paper version and the diskette in an envelope and mail it to yourself via REGISTERED mail. Hold on to the receipt for the mail and when the package arrives to your home, put it away in a SAFE place (together with the receipt) WITHOUT opening it.
This is proof that you had the document in your possession at the date of the mailing. If you do this before your e-book goes 'live' then you're sure that nobody can have copied your work before this date.

A Featured writing book ArticleCreating Ideas For Children's Books
Ideas are everywhere. All of the time. It's our job, as writers, to find some ideas and turn them into entertaining stories.
The most common sources of inspiration include: our experiences and personalities, children, family, pets, friends, conversations, television, newspapers, books etc.
I've never had any trouble finding ideas for stories. My problem is finding time to write all the stories.
I believe that the reason I come up with so many ideas for children's books is simple; I'm looking for them. I want them. I need them. I'm actively seeking them. I'm open to the possibilities. I'm thinking and behaving as a writer.
During conversations with friends, I sometimes find myself saying, "I like that. I might use it in a story one day." When I see something that appeals to me I often wonder how I can turn it into a story.
I look at ordinary things and ask questions. Sometimes my questions become a little bizarre. I often look for the funny side of situations or objects.
There have been times when I've chosen a popular subject, such as dinosaurs, then asked myself for a story on that subject. And other occasions when I've taken an old idea and given it a new and different life.
The simplest way to explain what I mean by the above statements is to share my personal experience. The following are the ideas behind my stories:
But first?I'm sitting in my study, writing this article. I look around the room and see the fireplace. What if the fireplace was a door to another place or world? What if I heard noises coming from the fireplace? And, when I investigate, I find Santa Claus trapped in my chimney. There are ideas everywhere. Just look for them. Ask questions.
My easy reader Sam's Dinosaur Bone originated from word association. I wanted to write a story about dinosaurs. My experience with dinosaurs was limited to museums. Mmmm?dinosaurs, museums, a child going on an excursion to a museum, being told that dinosaur fossils are found in the ground. Are there dinosaur fossils in his backyard?
I recently took an old idea, which I love, Henny Penny's The Sky Is Falling, and made it my own in my easy reader Down the Well. The hen hears a noise coming from the well. She yells down the well and a voice yells back. Someone must have fallen down the well!
I remember times, as a child, when I wanted to play with someone but no one was available. My friends and family were doing chores, playing sport, visiting friends, on holidays etc. My easy reader Will You Play? was inspired by this memory. The farm animals are too busy to play with the dog. Will he find someone to play with?
Do you have fears? I do. My novel Backstage Betrayal deals with my fear of being locked in a public toilet. I won't say any more as it's rather embarrassing. ;)
I have a definite dislike of spiders. I don't fear them. I don't hate them. I just prefer to not be in the same vicinity as a spider. This preference inspired my easy reader Jo and the Spider. Jo sees a spider in her bedroom. When she returns with her dad, the spider is gone. Where is it?
One night I went to the cupboard for a snack and saw a jar of honey. I wondered what it would be like to be honey - sticky, moist, gooey, sloppy, warm, sweet etc. But there was one big problem: you'd get eaten. From those thoughts came my book Mrs Twitch and the Small Black Box. Jess uses Mrs Twitch's invention, the small black box, to become honey. She's in danger of being eaten by her father.
A publisher asked me to write a number of non-fiction books. I was sitting at the kitchen table, wondering what subjects I could tackle, when I thought about milk. Then I decided that milk was too boring, been done to death etc. Green milk would be interesting. But wouldn't green milk be Martian milk? This idea was the beginning of my novel Martian Milk. Paul doesn't want to try Martian Milk because he's afraid it will turn him into a Martian.
The Mad Mower came from my desire to have a twin to do all the boring things in life like housework, paying bills and walking my dogs, while I did all the fun things like going out with friends, watching football and reading. Tony creates a computer double and asks him to do various chores. Ah, if only life was that easy?
Have you ever had trouble sleeping and wished that you had someone to pass the time with, but everyone is asleep? In my easy-reader Chick Catches Dinner, the little chick can't sleep and goes searching for company. She finds Hoot, a little owl, and has a fun but tiring night.
I was reading a book one afternoon. The child in the story had a teddy bear. After reading the words teddy bear, I thought to myself that I'd like to write a story about a teddy bear. My next story was called Old Teddy and was followed by Teddy's Sticky Mess.
I was watching the television news one evening and saw a story on a seagull problem in a nearby town. The greedy seagulls had become a nuisance to residents and tourists. My story The Greedy Seagulls is nearing completion.
So you see, ideas are all around us. It's your job as a writer to interpret the information you see all around you and turn it into your own creation!

Hear My Song
Hear My Song
Micky O'Neill (Adrian Dunbar) is a born salesman. As the booker of the local theater/dance hall, he is famous for hiring almost-celebrities like Franc Cinatra. When he is unable to tell his girlfriend (the beautiful Tara Fitzgerald) that he loves her, in so many words, she storms out of their bedroom. In order to win her back--and curry favor with her mother, not to mention keep his job--he decides to book famous tenor Joe Locke, who's wanted by the government for tax reasons and hasn't performed in decades. So begins Micky's quest to find the reclusive singer--and himself. The movie is so enthusiastically cheerful, it wins you over early on with its good-natured energy, and then never lets up. Hear My Song is like a rural British version of The Blues Brothers, with a tenor instead of a blues band, minus a whole lotta car wrecks, but a final performance surrounded by police. Really, how can you argue with that? --Andy Spletzer
Customer Review: Sinatra (Cinatra?) Knew A Good Thing When He Heard It
"Hear My Song" (1992), an Irish film, a romantic musical comedy/drama, was written by its star, Adrian Dunbar, with Peter Chelsom, its first-time director, and is filmed on location in gritty Liverpool, England, and the lovely Irish countryside. It's based on the life story of the Irish tenor Josef Locke, born Joseph McLaughlin, who knew great success in England, but was driven back to his home country by the tax man.
Adrian Dunbar, a frequently-seen actor, plays Micky O'Neill, who has leased a down-at-heels Liverpool nightclub from the large and boisterous Irish-English Ryan family (Liverpool has lots of Irish immigrants, and their descendents). He proceeds to run the club further into the ground through bad bookings; first there's Franc Cinatra, then Mr. X, allegedly Joe Locke. But Mr. X was worse than a bad business decision: the mother, Cathleen Doyle (played by the still-gorgeous Shirley Ann Field), of Micky's lovely girlfriend Nancy Doyle, (played by the luminous Tara Fitzgerald) once had a thing with the real Joe Locke, and Mr. X, at Micky's instigation, has taken advantage of her. The Ryans and the Doyles are furious with Micky: the situation's desperate. So he decides to hobo off to Ireland, to track down the real Joe Locke, (played by Ned Beatty, enjoying the role of his life). Once in Ireland, Micky meets up with his best friend, Fintan O'Donnell, a booking agent,played by the also frequently seen James Nesbitt. (Oddly enough, both Dunbar and Nesbitt are sons of Northern Ireland.) The friends find Locke and his senior-citizen posse, and lure them back to the U.K. to save Micky's hide. In the U.K., of course, the taxman, Jim Abbott, played to the hilt by David McCallum, "That Man from Uncle," remembers Locke only too well.
The movie was made for less than 2 million pounds, in less than six weeks, but it's consistently funny, although admittedly lightweight, sometimes sentimental. Micky has a great repeating line, "I haven't been where you've been, I haven't seen what you've seen," and commitment issues. A cow figures in two hilarious scenes. Beatty seamlessly lip-synchs to the glorious work of an actual well-known Irish tenor, with whom I'm not familiar. Between them they deliver a marvelous "Hear My Song," that leaves not a dry eye, nor seat, in the house. (I've got another rendition of that song in my house, by the young Frank Sinatra, who was, of course, a pretty good tenor himself. And he knew a good thing when he heard it.)

A Featured writing book ArticleCreating Ideas For Children's Books
Ideas are everywhere. All of the time. It's our job, as writers, to find some ideas and turn them into entertaining stories.
The most common sources of inspiration include: our experiences and personalities, children, family, pets, friends, conversations, television, newspapers, books etc.
I've never had any trouble finding ideas for stories. My problem is finding time to write all the stories.
I believe that the reason I come up with so many ideas for children's books is simple; I'm looking for them. I want them. I need them. I'm actively seeking them. I'm open to the possibilities. I'm thinking and behaving as a writer.
During conversations with friends, I sometimes find myself saying, "I like that. I might use it in a story one day." When I see something that appeals to me I often wonder how I can turn it into a story.
I look at ordinary things and ask questions. Sometimes my questions become a little bizarre. I often look for the funny side of situations or objects.
There have been times when I've chosen a popular subject, such as dinosaurs, then asked myself for a story on that subject. And other occasions when I've taken an old idea and given it a new and different life.
The simplest way to explain what I mean by the above statements is to share my personal experience. The following are the ideas behind my stories:
But first?I'm sitting in my study, writing this article. I look around the room and see the fireplace. What if the fireplace was a door to another place or world? What if I heard noises coming from the fireplace? And, when I investigate, I find Santa Claus trapped in my chimney. There are ideas everywhere. Just look for them. Ask questions.
My easy reader Sam's Dinosaur Bone originated from word association. I wanted to write a story about dinosaurs. My experience with dinosaurs was limited to museums. Mmmm?dinosaurs, museums, a child going on an excursion to a museum, being told that dinosaur fossils are found in the ground. Are there dinosaur fossils in his backyard?
I recently took an old idea, which I love, Henny Penny's The Sky Is Falling, and made it my own in my easy reader Down the Well. The hen hears a noise coming from the well. She yells down the well and a voice yells back. Someone must have fallen down the well!
I remember times, as a child, when I wanted to play with someone but no one was available. My friends and family were doing chores, playing sport, visiting friends, on holidays etc. My easy reader Will You Play? was inspired by this memory. The farm animals are too busy to play with the dog. Will he find someone to play with?
Do you have fears? I do. My novel Backstage Betrayal deals with my fear of being locked in a public toilet. I won't say any more as it's rather embarrassing. ;)
I have a definite dislike of spiders. I don't fear them. I don't hate them. I just prefer to not be in the same vicinity as a spider. This preference inspired my easy reader Jo and the Spider. Jo sees a spider in her bedroom. When she returns with her dad, the spider is gone. Where is it?
One night I went to the cupboard for a snack and saw a jar of honey. I wondered what it would be like to be honey - sticky, moist, gooey, sloppy, warm, sweet etc. But there was one big problem: you'd get eaten. From those thoughts came my book Mrs Twitch and the Small Black Box. Jess uses Mrs Twitch's invention, the small black box, to become honey. She's in danger of being eaten by her father.
A publisher asked me to write a number of non-fiction books. I was sitting at the kitchen table, wondering what subjects I could tackle, when I thought about milk. Then I decided that milk was too boring, been done to death etc. Green milk would be interesting. But wouldn't green milk be Martian milk? This idea was the beginning of my novel Martian Milk. Paul doesn't want to try Martian Milk because he's afraid it will turn him into a Martian.
The Mad Mower came from my desire to have a twin to do all the boring things in life like housework, paying bills and walking my dogs, while I did all the fun things like going out with friends, watching football and reading. Tony creates a computer double and asks him to do various chores. Ah, if only life was that easy?
Have you ever had trouble sleeping and wished that you had someone to pass the time with, but everyone is asleep? In my easy-reader Chick Catches Dinner, the little chick can't sleep and goes searching for company. She finds Hoot, a little owl, and has a fun but tiring night.
I was reading a book one afternoon. The child in the story had a teddy bear. After reading the words teddy bear, I thought to myself that I'd like to write a story about a teddy bear. My next story was called Old Teddy and was followed by Teddy's Sticky Mess.
I was watching the television news one evening and saw a story on a seagull problem in a nearby town. The greedy seagulls had become a nuisance to residents and tourists. My story The Greedy Seagulls is nearing completion.

Producing such informative sentences on scrap books was not an overnight achievement. Lots of hard work and sweat was also put in it.
Today's scrap books ArticleCreating Believable Characters for Children's Books
If you've read my previous articles you'll be aware that I've defined children's books as books that feature a child as the main character and the audience is children.
So, let's take a look at children as characters.
In picture books, no description of the characters is necessary. Picture books are highly visual and therefore all characters are obvious from the illustrations. When writing picture books, you have a limited number of words to work with and you can't afford to waste words on unnecessary description.
The same can be said of easy readers and chapter books. These books still contain a lot of illustrations and a limited word count. Description should be restricted to what is essential to the plot.
For example, if you're writing about a child who is bothered by their appearance - wearing glasses or being too small - then a limited amount of description is necessary.
A general guideline when writing these shorter books for young children is to only include what is essential for the story to make sense.
To make your character seem real to the reader you must think of him or her as a real person. People are around us every day. It's useful to take bits and pieces from the people we know to create our characters. Be careful to always mix and match. Never use an entire person in a novel. That person may not appreciate it.
Always avoid stereotypes. They are boring and unimaginative. They are an example of lazy writing. Be creative.
A character comes alive through their actions and dialogue. Actions, in particular, will show a character's personality. What they do and how they react largely depends on their personality, background and experience.
For example, a child who has been bitten by a dog will react differently when confronted by a strange dog than a child who has never experienced this trauma.
Believable characters always act consistently.
For example, in my book Working Like a Dog, Lucia wants new rollerblades. Her parents won't buy them for her. She must save the money herself or go without. So Lucia decides to start a dog-walking service to earn money for new rollerblades. Later in the story Lucia loses two of the dogs. She worries about the dogs and spends a lot of time searching for them.
The action in this story shows Lucia's character. She's a likeable responsible young lady. She is prepared to earn the money to buy new rollerblades. She could have stolen the money or rollerblades. She could have bullied other children for their lunch money. She could have nagged her grandmother into giving her money or rollerblades.
When she loses the dogs, she could have left them to find their own way home. She could have lied to the owners about losing them.
Lucia is responsible when she decides to earn money to buy her own rollerblades. When she loses the dogs she is responsible and searches for them until she finds them.
Lucia acts consistently and her behaviour is believable.
Imagine if Lucia decided to lie to the dog owners about knowing what happened to their precious pooches. She could say that the dogs were missing when she went to walk them. This element of the plot would probably be hard to swallow considering what we already know about Lucia. She would suddenly seem unbelievable.
It is essential to know what your character wants - their motivation. And why they want it. Your character's goal must be something that readers can relate to and care about.
Your readers must care about your character and be interested in their plight. Otherwise there is a good chance they'll put your book down and never return to it.
You, the writer, must care about your character. If you don't care about him or her then you can't expect your readers to care either. To care about your character you need to know him or her well.
Sometimes writers use a habit or habits in an attempt to make a character appear real. Habits can take the form of action and dialogue. Maybe a character chews their nails or adds the word "like" to the beginning of too many sentences or wears a particular type of clothing.
Be careful when giving your characters habits. Too many habits can distract the reader from your story and become an annoyance.
Characters should be kept to a minimum in children's fiction. Too many characters can confuse our young readers.
As children's books become longer and your audience older, there is more room for character development. But it is important to remember that every word in your book should be essential to the plot.

I've had this for a little over a month now, and have been using it in a mirrored RAID configuration. It is currently serving as my TimeMachine backup destination, and as the storage for my media server. It's nice and fast, and quiet enough that it does not distract from watching movies or listening to music. Additionally, it looks quite nice on my bookshelf.
I would recommend this drive to anyone, and will most definitely buy another when this fills up.
Customer Review: Terrific Drive
This is my second My Book drive; I liked my 500G one so much that I had to upgrade to the 2T with RAID and I am very impressed with the performance. Installation is really easy and the drive is fast and reliable. It automatically sleeps if you don't access it for a while and wakes up when you need it so it's energy efficient too. Works fine on all the interfaces but Firewire 800 is obviously the best. No negatives at all.

If you've read my previous articles you'll be aware that I've defined children's books as books that feature a child as the main character and the audience is children.
So, let's take a look at children as characters.
In picture books, no description of the characters is necessary. Picture books are highly visual and therefore all characters are obvious from the illustrations. When writing picture books, you have a limited number of words to work with and you can't afford to waste words on unnecessary description.
The same can be said of easy readers and chapter books. These books still contain a lot of illustrations and a limited word count. Description should be restricted to what is essential to the plot.
For example, if you're writing about a child who is bothered by their appearance - wearing glasses or being too small - then a limited amount of description is necessary.
A general guideline when writing these shorter books for young children is to only include what is essential for the story to make sense.
To make your character seem real to the reader you must think of him or her as a real person. People are around us every day. It's useful to take bits and pieces from the people we know to create our characters. Be careful to always mix and match. Never use an entire person in a novel. That person may not appreciate it.
Always avoid stereotypes. They are boring and unimaginative. They are an example of lazy writing. Be creative.
A character comes alive through their actions and dialogue. Actions, in particular, will show a character's personality. What they do and how they react largely depends on their personality, background and experience.
For example, a child who has been bitten by a dog will react differently when confronted by a strange dog than a child who has never experienced this trauma.
Believable characters always act consistently.
For example, in my book Working Like a Dog, Lucia wants new rollerblades. Her parents won't buy them for her. She must save the money herself or go without. So Lucia decides to start a dog-walking service to earn money for new rollerblades. Later in the story Lucia loses two of the dogs. She worries about the dogs and spends a lot of time searching for them.
The action in this story shows Lucia's character. She's a likeable responsible young lady. She is prepared to earn the money to buy new rollerblades. She could have stolen the money or rollerblades. She could have bullied other children for their lunch money. She could have nagged her grandmother into giving her money or rollerblades.
When she loses the dogs, she could have left them to find their own way home. She could have lied to the owners about losing them.
Lucia is responsible when she decides to earn money to buy her own rollerblades. When she loses the dogs she is responsible and searches for them until she finds them.
Lucia acts consistently and her behaviour is believable.
Imagine if Lucia decided to lie to the dog owners about knowing what happened to their precious pooches. She could say that the dogs were missing when she went to walk them. This element of the plot would probably be hard to swallow considering what we already know about Lucia. She would suddenly seem unbelievable.
It is essential to know what your character wants - their motivation. And why they want it. Your character's goal must be something that readers can relate to and care about.
Your readers must care about your character and be interested in their plight. Otherwise there is a good chance they'll put your book down and never return to it.
You, the writer, must care about your character. If you don't care about him or her then you can't expect your readers to care either. To care about your character you need to know him or her well.
Sometimes writers use a habit or habits in an attempt to make a character appear real. Habits can take the form of action and dialogue. Maybe a character chews their nails or adds the word "like" to the beginning of too many sentences or wears a particular type of clothing.
Be careful when giving your characters habits. Too many habits can distract the reader from your story and become an annoyance.
Characters should be kept to a minimum in children's fiction. Too many characters can confuse our young readers.
As children's books become longer and your audience older, there is more room for character development. But it is important to remember that every word in your book should be essential to the plot.

I don't need to say more than that. The side wood is not straight, it bows outward and the pegs are too short, so the shelves literally fall off the pegs and your DVDs go crashing to the floor. This thing is terrible and a waste of money, don't buy it.

Customer Review: Solid, quiet and fast
I've had this for a little over a month now, and have been using it in a mirrored RAID configuration. It is currently serving as my TimeMachine backup destination, and as the storage for my media server. It's nice and fast, and quiet enough that it does not distract from watching movies or listening to music. Additionally, it looks quite nice on my bookshelf.
I would recommend this drive to anyone, and will most definitely buy another when this fills up.
Customer Review: Terrific Drive
This is my second My Book drive; I liked my 500G one so much that I had to upgrade to the 2T with RAID and I am very impressed with the performance. Installation is really easy and the drive is fast and reliable. It automatically sleeps if you don't access it for a while and wakes up when you need it so it's energy efficient too. Works fine on all the interfaces but Firewire 800 is obviously the best. No negatives at all.

A Featured discount book ArticleCD Audio Books Save Bark
Many people who are frequent travellers, have found books in CD audio format so much lighter and easier to carry than the traditional hardback or soft-cover book
When clearing through security screening at airports, taking off shoes while balancing a paperback book is certainly an uncomfortable feat that no posture can carry graciously and stay composed and dignified.
Audio books come in a range of formats but once they are downloaded onto CD you can then choose how and when to enjoy listening to them.
As a pretty frequent traveller, I find my MP3 player to be the most convenient. It?s light, extremely portable and fit?s into a crowded handbag (or purse) with ease.
The other thing I like about CD Audio books is the price.
Because no trees lose their lives? or have their bark disturbed in the making of them, I hope I may be saving a tree somewhere on the planet too.
I am quite happy to disturb a few electrons and know that as my listening is a quiet affair, no one even has to listen to pages turning.
The other thing I like about CD audio books is that I can blot out a ?talky? passenger.
Some people seem to think that just because you are seated beside them in an aluminium tube hurtling through the air at a great rate of knots, that you are a captive travelling companion.
My experience has shown me that I am less likely to be expected to talk if I appear to be listening to my MP3 player. People respect that and leave me alone.
I know that I am saving my bark too when I appear unapproachable.
discount book Items For ViewingMichael 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.

Cake Decorating Course 1: Discover Cake Decorating
Student guide for Wilton's cake decorating course 1: Discover Cake Decorating. .
48 pages, softcover.
Intended for participants in Wilton's cake decorating course 1 classes, but may also be used as a self-study guide.
Customer Review: A must have for the novice
If you have never decorated then this is a must have book. It shows you how to make frosting, fill pastry bags, and talks about the decorating tips you will need. It is very easy to understand for someone who have never decorated a cake. This is the perfect book to get your decorating hands going.
Customer Review: take the course with it, prepare to shell out more $$ for tools
I just begin a Wilton cake decorating class #1 at Michael's, and this book comes FREE with the class which is $18 (instructor says these course books should retail about $3-5 at most).
You should take the class in addition to read this book, the experience of live teaching by an experienced instructor is invaluable. During this class, you will learn the beginner cake decoration techniques. It's a lot of fun, and if you don't want to proceed onto course II or III, it should be fine with just decorating your average cupcake, cookies and basic cakes. [[though most people love it so much that they do advance on..]]
however, I do have to caution that the course I tool kit you can buy ($19.99 @ Michael's) is only the bare minimum, it does not have all the things you will need for the first class. so be prepared to develop this hobby and pay more (~$20-40 depending on what you want) for other tool/tips/bags....

Customer Review: Works well for my Mac!
My main concern was this was going to be a PC centric bag with no thought for the Mac. Well, it fits my Macbook Pro just perfectly and safely. I can store all the extras in the outside pocket and have plenty of room for incidentals, as well as have the other side for paperwork I don't want to be turned into premature recyclable pulp. My only wish was they had a genuine Brown, non-dyed version. I could find no other manufacturer making a nicer model in natural color so this seemed to be the best bet. I've had it for a while now and it's been working out just fine.
Customer Review: great case
I received the notebook case in just a few days from my order and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. The service was excellent and I would by from this vendor again.

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.

Customer Review: Great GPS
This unit performed excellently. Took a trip to Nashville and it was right on. Listened to a book on tape thru it and that worked great.
Customer Review: Worth every dollar!
Compact and easy to use. No fumbling with maps or written directions anymore. A must have!
Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)
Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)
Spectacular animated action scenes turn the ancient epic poem Beowulf into a modern fantasy movie, while motion-capture technology transforms plump actor Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) into a burly Nordic warrior. When a Danish kingdom is threatened by the monster Grendel (voiced and physicalized by Crispin Glover, River's Edge), Beowulf--lured by the promise of heroic glory--comes to rescue them. He succeeds, but falls prey to the seductive power of Grendel's mother, played by Angelina Jolie... and as Jolie's pneumatically animated form rises from an underground lagoon with demon-claw high heels, it becomes clear that we're leaving the original epic far, far behind. Regrettably, the motion-capture process has made only modest improvements since The Polar Express; while the characters' eyes no longer look so flat and zombie-like, their faces remain inexpressive and movements are still wooden. As a result, the most effective sequences feature wildly animated battles and the most vivid character is Grendel, whose grotesqueness ends up making him far more sympathetic than any of the mannequin-like human beings. The meant-to-be-titillating images of a naked Jolie resemble an inflatable doll more than a living, breathing woman (or succubus, as the case may be). But the fights--particularly Grendel's initial assault on the celebration hut--pop with lushly animated gore and violence. Also featuring the CGI-muffled talents of Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs), Robin Wright Penn (The Princess Bride), and John Malkovich (Dangerous Liaisons). --Bret Fetzer
Customer Review: Beouwulf
Have not watched it yet, so I can really pass on my take on the movie. I heard lots of good things about the movie from others and wanted to own it.
Customer Review: Flawed in the Re-telling
There are many good things in this movie: The actual characters from the Epic, the basic setting, the intense violence, Grendel, even Grendel's mother. However, and I admit that I am biased here,I just don't think you can re-write a mythic tale that has survived for 1000 years to satisfy a modern director's idea of a good plot.
This movie is not Beowulf, it is a movie based upon the Beowulf epic. As such, it changes the central theme of the actual epic: The war between heaven hell being fought on earth as a struggle between good and evil, man and monster. I suppose that modern ideas of heroism can not accept the mythic heroism of the epic, but I feel that those very ideas are what make the original epic a truly great story.

A Featured discount book ArticleCD Audio Books Save Bark
Many people who are frequent travellers, have found books in CD audio format so much lighter and easier to carry than the traditional hardback or soft-cover book
When clearing through security screening at airports, taking off shoes while balancing a paperback book is certainly an uncomfortable feat that no posture can carry graciously and stay composed and dignified.
Audio books come in a range of formats but once they are downloaded onto CD you can then choose how and when to enjoy listening to them.
As a pretty frequent traveller, I find my MP3 player to be the most convenient. It?s light, extremely portable and fit?s into a crowded handbag (or purse) with ease.
The other thing I like about CD Audio books is the price.
Because no trees lose their lives? or have their bark disturbed in the making of them, I hope I may be saving a tree somewhere on the planet too.
I am quite happy to disturb a few electrons and know that as my listening is a quiet affair, no one even has to listen to pages turning.
The other thing I like about CD audio books is that I can blot out a ?talky? passenger.
Some people seem to think that just because you are seated beside them in an aluminium tube hurtling through the air at a great rate of knots, that you are a captive travelling companion.
My experience has shown me that I am less likely to be expected to talk if I appear to be listening to my MP3 player. People respect that and leave me alone.
I know that I am saving my bark too when I appear unapproachable.

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.
Cake Decorating Course 1: Discover Cake Decorating
Cake Decorating Course 1: Discover Cake Decorating
Student guide for Wilton's cake decorating course 1: Discover Cake Decorating. .
48 pages, softcover.
Intended for participants in Wilton's cake decorating course 1 classes, but may also be used as a self-study guide.
Customer Review: A must have for the novice
If you have never decorated then this is a must have book. It shows you how to make frosting, fill pastry bags, and talks about the decorating tips you will need. It is very easy to understand for someone who have never decorated a cake. This is the perfect book to get your decorating hands going.
Customer Review: take the course with it, prepare to shell out more $$ for tools
I just begin a Wilton cake decorating class #1 at Michael's, and this book comes FREE with the class which is $18 (instructor says these course books should retail about $3-5 at most).
You should take the class in addition to read this book, the experience of live teaching by an experienced instructor is invaluable. During this class, you will learn the beginner cake decoration techniques. It's a lot of fun, and if you don't want to proceed onto course II or III, it should be fine with just decorating your average cupcake, cookies and basic cakes. [[though most people love it so much that they do advance on..]]
however, I do have to caution that the course I tool kit you can buy ($19.99 @ Michael's) is only the bare minimum, it does not have all the things you will need for the first class. so be prepared to develop this hobby and pay more (~$20-40 depending on what you want) for other tool/tips/bags....

Customer Review: Works well for my Mac!
My main concern was this was going to be a PC centric bag with no thought for the Mac. Well, it fits my Macbook Pro just perfectly and safely. I can store all the extras in the outside pocket and have plenty of room for incidentals, as well as have the other side for paperwork I don't want to be turned into premature recyclable pulp. My only wish was they had a genuine Brown, non-dyed version. I could find no other manufacturer making a nicer model in natural color so this seemed to be the best bet. I've had it for a while now and it's been working out just fine.
Customer Review: great case
I received the notebook case in just a few days from my order and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. The service was excellent and I would by from this vendor again.

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.

Customer Review: Great GPS
This unit performed excellently. Took a trip to Nashville and it was right on. Listened to a book on tape thru it and that worked great.
Customer Review: Worth every dollar!
Compact and easy to use. No fumbling with maps or written directions anymore. A must have!
Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)
Beowulf (Unrated Director's Cut)
Spectacular animated action scenes turn the ancient epic poem Beowulf into a modern fantasy movie, while motion-capture technology transforms plump actor Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) into a burly Nordic warrior. When a Danish kingdom is threatened by the monster Grendel (voiced and physicalized by Crispin Glover, River's Edge), Beowulf--lured by the promise of heroic glory--comes to rescue them. He succeeds, but falls prey to the seductive power of Grendel's mother, played by Angelina Jolie... and as Jolie's pneumatically animated form rises from an underground lagoon with demon-claw high heels, it becomes clear that we're leaving the original epic far, far behind. Regrettably, the motion-capture process has made only modest improvements since The Polar Express; while the characters' eyes no longer look so flat and zombie-like, their faces remain inexpressive and movements are still wooden. As a result, the most effective sequences feature wildly animated battles and the most vivid character is Grendel, whose grotesqueness ends up making him far more sympathetic than any of the mannequin-like human beings. The meant-to-be-titillating images of a naked Jolie resemble an inflatable doll more than a living, breathing woman (or succubus, as the case may be). But the fights--particularly Grendel's initial assault on the celebration hut--pop with lushly animated gore and violence. Also featuring the CGI-muffled talents of Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs), Robin Wright Penn (The Princess Bride), and John Malkovich (Dangerous Liaisons). --Bret Fetzer
Customer Review: Beouwulf
Have not watched it yet, so I can really pass on my take on the movie. I heard lots of good things about the movie from others and wanted to own it.
Customer Review: Flawed in the Re-telling
There are many good things in this movie: The actual characters from the Epic, the basic setting, the intense violence, Grendel, even Grendel's mother. However, and I admit that I am biased here,I just don't think you can re-write a mythic tale that has survived for 1000 years to satisfy a modern director's idea of a good plot.
This movie is not Beowulf, it is a movie based upon the Beowulf epic. As such, it changes the central theme of the actual epic: The war between heaven hell being fought on earth as a struggle between good and evil, man and monster. I suppose that modern ideas of heroism can not accept the mythic heroism of the epic, but I feel that those very ideas are what make the original epic a truly great story.
Taking those elements out make this movie a morality tale about a false hero reaching redemption at last. The movie reflects the cynicism of the modern era I suppose, but it loses the epic qualities of the original poem.
