The best all-natural circulation solution
Natto has since been the subject of 17 studies, including two small human trials in Japan. Based on this research, nattokinase is one of the most promising nutrients for a healthy circulatory system.
Nattokinase is one of several enzymes related to your circulation. Fibrin, the enzyme that causes blood clotting, is usually broken down by another enzyme, plasmin. Plasmin aids normal platelet aggregation and circulation. But plasmin production declines with age. Nattokinase helps by facilitating blood flow the same way plasmin does, and also supports your body's natural production of plasmin.
My nattokinase uses the patented NSK-SD™ formulation, which has its naturally-occurring vitamin K removed. Plus, unlike some others, this product gives you a full 2,000 FU (fibrin units) per day, the dosage recommended by Dr. Sumi and other leading researchers.
- Supports normal circulation, blood flow, and blood viscosity
- Helps maintain your body's normal blood-clotting mechanism
- Supports natural production of plasmin, which reduces fibrin
- Helps maintain normal blood pressure levels

Nokia's colourful and courageous range of Lumia smartphones is ever increasing in popularity, and by extension, so is the intuitive operating system they run on – Windows Phone.
Competing with the likes of Android and iOS, Windows Phone boasts a plethora of great features, including Live Tiles – your favourite apps, people and music customised how you like it; Here Maps – an intuitive, offline map service that'll ensure you never get lost again; and Cortana – the advanced personal assistant that is coming to Windows Phone very soon.
Make a bold statement and choose from several vibrant and colourful handsets, like the affordable Nokia Lumia 635, or the flagship Nokia Lumia 930, which both come in a vibrant green and orange variant, amongst others.
If you've just bought yourself a new Windows phone, or you're thinking about it,then we're here with 5 top tips to help you start getting the most out of it, from setting up the Live Tiles on your Start screen to controlling your Xbox with the SmartGlass and beyond!
Intriguing promotions of the long-awaited Nokia X (codenamed Normandy) have been leaked ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event, where the handset is expected to debut.
While Android and iOS are still the two biggest smartphone operating systems in the world, by a sizeable margin, Windows Phone is slowly gaining market share thanks to great phones like the Nokia Lumia 1020; as such it is usually classed as one of the big three platforms, although Microsoft obviously wouldn't say no to having more users.
Two stunning smartphones that offer looks, top specs and amazing value square off against each other!
By now, most people must have heard of the term 'phablet', a word used to describe big-screen phones that straddle the line between smartphones and tablets. It's a category of devices that was started pretty much singlehandedly by Samsung, with the release of the original Galaxy Note, and there's been one constant feature that's defined every phablet made so far: they've all been Android phones. Up till now, there's never been a big-screen phablet running anything except Google's mobile platform.
One of the undisputed kings of mobile phones, Nokia has maintained consistently high sales figures throughout the world by offering an extensive selection of handsets. Named the largest phone vendor for almost 25 years (1988-2012), this Finnish brand has shown it can still compete in the modern smartphone market with recent models from the Nokia Lumia range popular additions to any household.
Making use of the Windows Phone OS instead of their traditional Symbian operating system, models such as the Nokia Lumia 930 and Nokia Lumia 630 show just what this manufacturer has to offer modern buyers. Whether it's the 8MP camera and ClearBlack AMOLED touchscreen of the 900 or the PeopleHub feature of the 630 which captures your attention, you'll find a great range of deals and offers from leading networks with us. Everyone from T-Mobile to Three is eager to give their customers access to the latest Nokia phones so you'll never be short on choice.
Nokia certainly deserves its position as one of the world's leading mobile brands. If you're looking to get a mobile phone upgrade then take a look online with us. You'll find everything from touchscreen options such as the Nokia Lumia 630, available in white and black.

The glass flowers are lovely however the stakes provided with them are sloppy at the joints making it very hard to set in the ground straight. They should also be at different heights but they are all the same length. Expected better quality for the price.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
My mother has loved art glass, and especially Dale Chihuly, for years. When I saw these, I knew they would be the perfect Mother's Day gift, and I was right. After reading the comments about the yellow flower, I decided to go with two blue and one red. She is essentially housebound, so she decided to create a container to go in front of a window with dwarf sheflera, stones, and these. I couldn't have found a better gift.

I have these in my flower garden and get nothing but "where did you find those?"

- Good Way To Add Color
- Glass is Thin
Best Uses
- Adding color
These are nice to add color to a seasonal garden. What I didn't like was that the glass was pretty thin, and the tube sections were either too tight or too loose (seemingly because of the black finish on them). Some of the finish was peeled off, and more peeled off when I fit the sections together.
If you order a set of three, you should either use a hacksaw to shorten a tube section (which will allow you to stagger heights) or put them far enough apart so they can't hit each other and break the glass.
All in all, a little too expensive for the quality.

I love this. I'm so pleased to have my work enter the pantheon of English-student-written comics (a genre ably represented by Dinosaur Comics and Nedroid, among others).
The comic Kichiru shared with his students was a collaboration with KC Green — I wrote it, he drew it! It's called "Emmy & the Eggs" and we made it as a Halloween special a few years ago.
If you missed it, it's in three parts here, here, and here.

The only thing we still have of the Halloween Keith mythos in culture today is the game Truth or Dare
— MALKenstein ! (@malki) October 26, 2014
I have written some more about Halloween Keith.
Some say Halloween Keith was a corn farmer who died in a drought year, through laziness or ill-management of his crop; others say he was born from the cornfields themselves, a new form of smut who took legs in an attempt to become a man. Inside his wrappings are either bony limbs hung with rotted flesh, or bulbous, fungal lumps of corn. Perhaps both, working in concert…
Once a year, on the eve of All Saints' Day, children from the local parish used to go door-to-door collecting food donations to help the less fortunate. Because charity is most virtuous when done anonymously, the children would wear masks, or dress up in costume — sometimes as adults, but other times as monsters and evil things, as a reminder that even the demons may repent and do good works.
This presented the perfect opportunity for Halloween Keith to also disguise himself and collect food from unsuspecting families, enough to feed him for another year…

Yes | No 3 out of 5 Good speaker mounts Written By Rich B, Montvale, NJ on Tuesday, January 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good mounts for the money. However, when used as sole mount for a speaker, it tends to slip no matter how much you tighten it. I also would have liked to see this in white. Pros: Decent mount for the money. Easy to install. Cons: Can be weak particularly if it is the only mount for the speaker. Not available in white. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Solid minimalist no-fuss design Written By Richard M., Hollywood, MD on Monday, January 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased three pair to mount my set of five Definitive Technology speakers: Pro Monitor 1000, Pro Monitor 800, and Pro Center 1000. The compact design is unobtrusive yet no slouch when it comes to securely mounting the speakers to the wall and holding them in the desired position. They are very easy to mount on any surface that can securely hold a user supplied screw or bolt fastener. The fact that I needed to mount on drywall between studs was not an issue. Even the heavier Pro Monitor 1000s are rock solid mounted with heavy duty drywall anchors. Pros: Secure and solid. Easily installable in minutes. Allows reasonable articulation of speaker orientation. Nice round number Cons: A bit overpriced (nice round number notwithstanding). May require a Channel Locks (R) assist to tighten heavier speakers. An included screw hole template would be very helpful for mounting center speakers. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Mighty little mounts Written By John, Jacksonville Fl on Sunday, December 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

I used these with an 800 setup so I could aim the speakers. It's a snap to make fine adjustments. Personally I did not use the mounting hardware they sent. I used the screw in metal stud savers with a 40# rating from home depot. Quick shot with the screwgun and there mounted. Pros: Easy to hang, Easy to aim.

Always a pleasure and a hassle-free experience doing business with you. ML 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Not great Written By AustinJerry, Austin, TX on Sunday, April 22, 2012 I used these mounts for ProMonitor 1000 speakers, which are 7 lbs. I have two issues with the mount. First, the range of adjustment was too narrow--I could not aim the speakers exactly to the primarily listening point. Second, the large plastic thumbwheels used to lock the mount in place cannot be adjusted tight enough by hand. Using a large adjustable pliers gets the job done, but not without marring the surface of the thumbwheel plastic. For an additonal $10, I recommend the ProMount 90, which is all metal, has a wider range of adjustment, and can be locked down using an allen wrench. I replaced all of my ProMount 80's with 90's. Pros: None. Cons: Limited range of adjustment, hard to tighten the thumbwheel. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Not bad at all Written By Peter Irie, Maryland on Friday, July 29, 2011 These are not bad brackets but when mounting them, please try to get better wall plugs and thicker screws. The ones they come with are not the best quality. Other than that they are pretty good. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology ProMount 80 Written By Brad, Louisiana on Sunday, July 10, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered the ProMount 80's to replace the factory mounts on an older set of Klipsch Quintet II speakers (which had a U-shaped integral base/mounting bracket with a limited range of motion) in a new ceiling mount installation. The ProMount 80's are stable, secure, and provide a great range of motion for aiming of these smaller-sized speakers. The ball joint/socket fit is tight, to the point that you have to force the two together, but this is what makes the assembly so stable. Some forethought will be necessary, as there is limited space between the wall/ceiling and speaker to connect the wiring and then tighten the knurled ring for final speaker aiming. The brackets appear to be stable enough for a slightly larger sized speaker, and the instructions even make reference to using two brackets per speaker for mounting of larger-sized speakers, but the larger the speaker, the harder it will be to hold everything in place to make connections and tighten. Note that the alignment of the two ball joints to the two wall-mounted sockets on a dual mount application would have to be PERFECT in order to work, as there is zero play in the ball joint/socket assembly. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Perfect for smaller wallmount speakers Written By matt, Lexington KY on Monday, January 25, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's a wallmount, works as advertised. Very solid and secure, no worries about it pulling away from the wall or drooping with the weight of the speaker attached. I am using these mounts with Definitive Technologies Mythos Gem speakers. Only little quibble keeping it from a 5-star review is how tight you have to get the knurled knob to stabilize the speaker orientation. The knurls are slippery and a little hard to turn, especially if you are mounting in tight places, like corners. I had to use a pair of pliers to get them to the correct tightness. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (February 19, 2013) — The 74th running of the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup and the $350,000 American Oaks headline a stakes schedule worth more than $6.8 million for the 2013 Spring/Summer meet at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The 75th anniversary season begins Thursday, April 25 and continues through Sunday, July 14.
A Grade I at 1 ¼ miles over Cushion Track, the Gold Cup, which was won a year ago by Game On Dude, will be run Saturday, July 6, and is part of a stakes doubleheader. The card will also feature the $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile, a Grade II for older fillies and mares on turf.
The American Oaks, which featured a rail-skimming victory by favored Lady of Shamrock in 2012, will be contested Saturday, July 13 and is the last of six Grade I's during the meet.
An invitational for 3-year-old fillies at 1 ¼ miles on turf, the American Oaks anchors a program that also includes the $200,000 A Gleam Handicap for older females at seven furlongs, the $150,000 Landaluce Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs and the $150,000 Hollywood Juvenile Championship for 2-year-olds at six furlongs.
"Once again, the Hollywood Gold Cup and the American Oaks are the highlights of the season,'' said Martin Panza, Betfair Hollywood Park's racing secretary and vice president-racing. "The meet should get off to a good start with the well-received Golden State series continuing on California Gold Rush Day (April 27).''
A Grade I on turf, the $300,000 Shoemaker Mile, will be run Saturday, June 29, along with the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap, a Grade I at seven furlongs.
For the second consecutive year, the Grade II Swaps Stakes will be offered on the 4th of July. Offering a purse of $150,000, the Swaps, which is for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles, is the main attraction of a holiday card that kicks off the second to last week of the 49-day meet.
The Hollywood Gold Cup and American Oaks programs are among 10 multiple stakes days at the meeting. The first is Gold Rush XIV, the annual showcase for California breds.
Run at 1 1/8 miles, the $300,000 Snow Chief Stakes and the $250,000 Melair Stakes are the main Gold Rush events. The Snow Chief is for 3-year-olds while the Melair is for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles. The other notable Gold Rush stakes are the $125,000 B. Thoughtful, which is restricted to older fillies and mares, and the $125,000 Tiznow for older horses. Both are run at 7 ½ furlongs.
In addition to the simulcast of the Kentucky Derby, Saturday, May 4 will feature the $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap and the $70,000-added Cool Frenchy Stakes. The LeRoy, a Grade II at 1 1/16 miles, is the first prep for the Gold Cup.
Along with the simulcast of the Belmont Stakes, the primary race Saturday, June 8 is the $200,000 Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap, a Grade II at 1 ¼ miles on turf. There will be two other grass stakes for 3-year-old fillies that afternoon – the $150,000 Honeymoon Handicap at 1 1/8 miles and the $70,000-added Manhattan Beach at six furlongs.
A Grade II at 1 1/8 miles, the $150,000 Californian, which was taken by Game On Dude in 2012, will be run Saturday, June 1.
The Vanity, which was captured by longshot Love Theway Youare a year ago, will be offered Saturday, June 15, the richest of three stakes that afternoon.
A Grade I for older fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles, the Vanity has a purse of $250,000.
The other stakes on the Vanity undercard are for 2-year-olds at 5 ½ furlongs – the $100,000 Willard L. Proctor and the $100,000 Cinderella, which is restricted to fillies.
The stakes schedule commences April 25 with the $70,000-added Harry Henson Stakes. Named in honor of the legendary track announcer who worked at Hollywood Park from 1958-1982, the Henson is for 3-year-olds at six furlongs on turf.

American Express is consistently one of the highest rated credit card issuers. This could be because the customers are demographically different than average Visa and MasterCard customers. American Express customers are generally individuals and businesses with higher credit ratings, and they are more likely to make better financial decisions. Additionally, many American Express cards are charge cards. Charge cards don't have associated interest rates, so every bill is due in full. As a result, American Express customers generally don't buy what they can't afford to pay back within 30 days.
In the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 credit card satisfaction survey this is the sixth consecutive year that American Express has taken the highest honors. American Express also won the highest accolades from personal finance bloggers, taking home the Best Credit Card in the First Annual Plutus Awards a couple of years ago, with the Blue from American Express card.
Here's an overview of the major credit and charge cards from American Express and reviews for each.
American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card Sitting in between the Platinum Cards and the regular Gold Card is the American Express® Premier Rewards Gold Card. For new card holders this card currently offers 25,000 Membership Rewards® points after spending $2,000 on purchases with your new card in the first three months of Card membership. On purchases, cardholders earn 3X points per dollar for flights booked directly with airlines, 2X points per dollar on gasoline at US gas stations, 2X points per dollar at US supermarkets, and 1X point per dollar on other purchases. Terms and limitations apply. These points can be used for gift cards at popular stores or transfer points to over twenty frequent traveler programs. There are no interest charges because you pay your balance in full each month. Terms and Restrictions Apply.
There is an introductory annual fee of $0 for the first year, then $175. The annual fee is much less than the Platinum Card, but the benefits are not as extensive.
Platinum Card® from American Express The Platinum Card® from American Express is the flagship charge card, offering the best benefits American Express can offer. You can earn 40,000 points after spending $3,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months of Card Membership. When cardholders select a qualifying airline, you can benefit from up to $200 annually in a statement credit with the airline of your choice to use towards baggage fees, flight-change fees, in-flight food and beverage purchases and more. There are no foreign transaction fees with purchases made on your card. American Express has a 24/7 Platinum Card Concierge service for assistance with last minute restaurant reservations, travel, gifts, and more. As this is a charge card you pay your balance in full each month. If you are a small business owner businesses consider The Business Platinum Card® from American Express OPEN. Terms and Restrictions Apply.
These benefits come at a significant cost. With an annual fee of $450, the Platinum Card is not for the faint of heart. The potential benefits could outweigh this annual fee, but this is a personal decision.
Editor's note this offer expired and is no longer available. Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express For travelers that fly on Delta Airlines frequently, the Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card from American Express is one of the best ways to earn relevant and valuable rewards. With the welcome bonus offer you may be rewarded with 30,000 bonus miles after your first $1,000 in purchases on your new Card within three months of Cardmembership and a $50 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase with your new Card within your first 3 months. You can continue to earn miles at the rate of two miles per eligible dollar spent on qualifying Delta purchases and one mile per dollar for all other eligible purchases. With the Gold Delta SkyMiles card you can check the first bag free on every Delta flights which can add up to a savings of up to $200 per round trip for a family of four. Terms and Restrictions Apply.
While the annual fee for this credit card is $95, there is a $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $95.
Editor's note these offers expired and are no longer available.Blue Sky from American Express® and the Blue Sky Preferred from American Express The Blue Sky from American Express® and the Blue Sky Preferred from American Express are credit cards, not charge cards, focused on travel rewards. With the Blue Sky from American Express spenders can earn one point for virtually every dollar spent on the card, but those points are about 33% more valuable than typical rewards programs. According to the American Express website, "Each 7,500-point increment is equal to a statement credit of up to the amount of the eligible travel purchase capped at $100." So you'll want to maximize this by using it on purchases of $100 or more so as not to lose out on any reward benefit.
With the Blue Sky card, there is a welcome bonus: earn 7,500 points after you use your card to make $1,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of Cardmembership – redeemable for a $100 statement credit. The Blue Sky Preferred from American Express has the additional feature of earning two points for every dollar spent at U.S. restaurants, hotel rooms purchased directly from hotels and for car rentals purchased directly from select car rental companies, as well as offering an annual $100 airline allowance in the form of a statement credit to cover airline fees such as airline meals and baggage fees. Points are earned only on eligible purchases. Terms and Restrictions Apply.
The Blue Sky has no annual fee, and The Blue Sky Preferred Card comes with a $75 annual fee.
Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express Without fail, the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express is the readers' favorite at Consumerism Commentary. This credit card currently features an offer of Starpoints® bonus offer where you may earn up to 25,000 bonus Starpoints as follows: receive 10,000 Starpoints after your first purchase and an additional 15,000 Starpoints after you use your new card to make $5,000 in purchases within the first six months of Card Membership. Starpoints can be redeemed with more than 150 airlines with SPG Flights with no blackout dates and more than 1,100 hotels in nearly 100 countries around the world who are participating in the SPG program. Some hotels may have mandatory service and resort charges. For small business owners American Express offers, the Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express. Terms and Restrictions Apply.
The Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express offers a $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then after the first year there is a $65 annual fee.
American Express bonus offers are not available to applicants who have or have had the product. Also you may not be eligible for the bonus offer if you currently have an American Express Card, please see application page for further information. Cash back and points are earned only on eligible purchases. Terms and Restrictions Apply.

Highlights from a new report indicate that the world is about five years into a chronic global food crisis that is not expected to abate for many decades. Despite improvements in agricultural technologies, the global industry faces too many uphill battles to overcome significantly as world population continues to increase, according to the report, "Welcome to Dystopia! Entering a long-term and politically dangerous food crisis," by Jeremy Grantham, GMO, a global investment management firm.
The quarterly report points out the biggest challenges the agriculture industry faces. The report points out problems from water scarcity, little increase in yields from the increased use of fertilizer, rapidly rising food and resource prices and bad farming practices.
Here are the top highlights directly from the report.
1. Last year we reported the data that showed that we are 10 years into a paradigm shift or phase change from falling resource prices into quite rapidly rising real prices.
2. It now appears that we are also about five years into a chronic global food crisis that is unlikely to fade for many decades, at least until the global population has considerably declined from its likely peak of over nine billion in 2050.
3. The general assumption is that we need to increase food production by 60% to 100% by 2050 to feed at least a modest sufficiency of calories to all 9 billion+ people plus to deliver much more meat to the rapidly increasing middle classes of the developing world.
4. It is also widely assumed that at least the lower end of this target will be achieved. I believe that this is substantially optimistic. At very best, if we reach that level we will not be able to hold it. Much more likely, we will not come close because there are too many factors that will make growth in food output increasingly difficult where it used to be easy:
• Grain productivity has fallen decade by decade since 1970 from 3.5% to 1.5%. Quite probably, the most efficient grain producers are approaching a "glass ceiling" where further increases in productivity per acre approach zero at the grain species' limit (just as race horses do not run materially faster now than in the 1920s). Remarkably, investment in agricultural research has steadily fallen globally, as a percent of GDP.
• Water problems will increase to a point where gains from increased irrigation will be offset by the loss of underground water and the salination of the soil.
• Persistent bad farming practices perpetuate land degradation, which will continue to undermine our long-term sustainable productive capacity.

Fins Bois
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Fins Bois : 37,000 hectares of soil. characterized by quick aging environment. A subtle flowery bouquet characterizes this eau de vie. The largest, and by far the intriguing cru, is Fins Bois. Geographically, it rings the other three crus. It lies, approximately, in the triangle between the towns of Rouilliac, Matha and Pons. It has a rich, full, strong aromas with a touch of the maritime climate.

Reference Service
The Carbondale Public Library serves a diverse public with unique individual needs and levels of ability to conduct research independently. At times of peak activity within the library, it is mandatory that rules for providing reference assistance be established. The most recent standards document, Serving Our Public: Standards for Illinois Public Libraries provides the model for this reference policy.
The Board of Trustees and Library Director of Carbondale Public Library encourage staff of all levels to pursue continuing education opportunities which will enable them to better meet the needs of the library's clients. All staff members receive in-house training regarding appropriate responses to client questions, including reference questions. This training includes reference interviewing techniques, reader's advisory service, and bibliographic instruction. All staff members are taught to treat each client and question asked with respect. Names of users and the transactions which occur between users and the staff are confidential and not discussed outside a professional context.
Reference service and materials are available to all persons regardless of their age, religion, race, sex, social or economic status. Reference service and materials are available during all hours the library is open and is provided in response to all forms of inquiry including but not limited to clients in the library, the telephone, telefacsimile, email, and TTY. The reference questions of clients visiting the library are given the highest priority. All requests for information receive an answer or status report within one working day. Questions which cannot be answered with on-site resources are referred to another agency. Such referrals are verified and/or mediated by library staff.
In the instance of legal, medical, investment, or tax reference questions, the staff may only guide the client to the material available on the topic of interest. The staff may not evaluate or interpret the information provided nor may the staff define the meaning of terms, offer investment advice, select income tax forms or serve as a surrogate for a professional in any of the fields listed above. If all materials within the library are beyond the understanding of the client, the client will be advised to consult with their professional from the above listed fields for additional information or advice. For further details see the separate policy on Legal, Medical, Investment, and Tax Related Reference Questions.
Reference materials regardless of format may not be removed from the library.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 digital camera
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Features, Family, Women, Men, Under $500
If you've got someone on your gift list that needs a new point-and-shoot camera that also takes great video, we'd like to recommend checking out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7. This is the point-and-shoot that we've been using for the past 8 months or so, and the quality is great. Video recordings look superb in high definition, recorded in AVCHD Lite. You've got a 25mm ultra wide-angle lens with 12x optical zoom, facial recognition, and other bells and whistles. What we love about this camera, though, is that it has GPS built-in to geotag your photos and videos automatically, on the fly, as you take them. The ZS7 retails for $349.95, but Amazon is currently selling them for just $257.82 - a savings of $92.13!

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Powermat Rechargeable Travel Mat
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, USB, Cell Phones, Misc. Tech, Women, Men, Techies, Under $100
We're big fans of what Powermat has to offer here at Gear Live HQ, and that's why we think it's appropriate to feature them in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. What you've got here is a little panel with a built-in battery pack that lets you wirelessly charge your mobile devices. It folds up and is small enough to throw in a bag, and won't take up much space at all on a desk. On a full charge, you can charge an iPhone five times. The Powermat Travel Mat comes with adapters that allow you to charge any USB device, Nintendo DS, a few proprietary phone connectors, and iOS devices. The cool part here is that you just set your device on the mat, and it starts charging.
They typically sell for $130, but Amazon's got 'em for $69 right now.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: My Book AV DVR Expander
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Home Entertainment, Storage, Men, Techies, Under $250
Okay, let's keep it real for a moment with this next entry in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. We know more and more people are using DVRs these days, whether it's something like a TiVo, or one of the ones leased from a cable company. The one thing that we hear time and time again is that the hard drives inside these things are simply too small to hold any substantial amount of programming, especially when dealing with HD programming. That's where the My Book AV DVR Expander comes in. You simply connect this bad boy to your DVR (it supports a ton of them from TiVo, DirecTV, Dish, Scientific Atlanta, Motorola, and the list goes on) and give it a few minutes to get calibrated, and you've instantly added 150 hours of high definition storage to your setup. If you know any TV buffs, we'd recommend something like this for the holidays.
The Western Digital My Book AV DVR Expander usually sells for $127.60, but Amazon's got it for $119 right now, a savings of 7%.
Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Sonos S5
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Men, Techies, Under $500
As evidenced by the fact that we saw holiday decorations up at a major retailer the other day, it seems that It's that time of year again where we dig deep and give you our daily recommendations on what you should get your loved ones in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. This year, we're kicking it off with the Sonos S5. If you're unfamiliar with Sonos, it's basically the best way to get music from just about any location (your computer, your iPhone, the web, the cloud, etc.) to play in any room in your house. It's super intuitive, and even years after using Sonos, the technology still blows us away. The Sonos S5 is a wireless all-in-one music system that lets you jump right into the Sonos experience. If you have an iOS or Android device, you can download the Sonos remote control app, and you can also control the system with a computer using the Sonos Desktop Controller. Here are some other Sonos products that go nicely with the Sonos S5, which itself you can get for $399 from Sonos:
Oh, and if free shipping is something you appreciate, just enter the code FREESHIPSONOS during checkout!
2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z280
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Features, Family, Women, Men, Under $250
Casio rocks it this year with the Exilim Zoom EX-Z280 digital camera, and we like it enough that we are recommending it in this years gift guide. It sports a dedicated Easy Mode, making it easy enough for pretty much anyone who enjoys pressing buttons to operate, while still maintaining the advanced features for more experienced pros, including ones that you don't typically find on budget-priced digital cameras. One such feature is mechanical (instead of digital) image stabilization, giving you nice clear shots while you stumble around during a holiday party after one-too-many eggnogs, as well as a 4x optical zoom lens. In addition, it shoots video in 720p, so it can even take the place of your Flip-style camcorder. You can grab one now for $173 on Amazon.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment, Family, Men, Techies, Under $100
The Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player allows you to attach any external hard drive or USB flash drive to the device, which lets you watch videos, listen to music, or even create your own slideshows from your photos, right on your television. The WD TV HD Media Player can accept up to two external drives at once, and supports Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 sound, making it ideal to play movies stored on those devices in glorious 1080p. They typically sell for $129, but Amazon has them for $99.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Sony Alpha DSLR-A330
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Men, Techies
This Sony Alpha A330 DSLR camera is lightweight, and pleasing to the eye what with it's copper-and-black finish. This one hits 10 megapixels, and sits nicely in the space between uber-cameras for the pros and the dead-simple point and shoots. The Sony Alpha A330 boasts a 2.7-inch pullout LCD display that is posable (great for working with difficult angles,) and the image stabilization and autofocus are there to help with getting the perfect shot. Even cooler? You can get short tutorials of the different settings and effects right on the screen itself. A camera that teaches you, so you can learn as you go. The Sony Alpha A300 with 18-55mm lens sells for $599, but Amazon has it for just $549, a nice $50 discount.
2009 Holiday Gift Guide: Kodak Zi8
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Handhelds, HDTV, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250
We love how inexpensive it's gotten for people to attain the ability to record high definition video, and we think this category is set to explode this holiday season. Based on this, and you know how much we love video, we've got to recommend the Kodak Zi8 handheld camera. Why? Well, the Kodak Zi8 records full 1080p HD video at 30 fps, and can also take 5 megapixel still images. It incorporates image stabilization as well, which helps avoid that whole Blair Witch shaky cam effect that none of us enjoy, and in a rare move, it even has a microphone jack so you can connect a nice, high quality audio device, if you so choose.
It's definitely a great value for such a small device that packs a nice punch. The Kodak Zi8 typically sells for $179, but you can find it on Amazon for a little less than that.
Honorable Mention:
Flip Mino: It isn't HD, but it's about $60 cheaper than the Kodak Zi8.

2009 Holiday Gift Guide: HP DreamScreen 100
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Displays, Household, Wireless / WiFi, Family, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250
Ever since the HP DreamScreen arrived on the scene, generic digital photo frames have seemed so passe. I mean, the DreamScreen is a digital photo frame on crack, essentially. It's available in 10- and 13-inch sizes, and aside from simply displaying your digital photos, it can stream Pandora (or up to 10,000 Internet radio stations,) set alarms, display your calendar, show you a five-day weather forecast, and even give you a look at your Facebook account so you can see what's up with your peeps. Plus, it incorporates touch into the bezel, and we like touch.
The HP DreamScreen typicalls sells for $250, but Amazon currently has it for $205, a full 18% off.

Holiday Gift Guide 2008: VUDU $99 for a limited time ($200 off!)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Movies, Men, Techies, Under $100
If you, or someone you love, is a big movie buff with an HDTV, we have to recommend the VUDU Christmas Special that is going on right now. The VUDU set-top box normally sells for $299, but for a limited time it can be had for just $99. Now, you also have to buy $50 in movie credits, so the total cost would be $149, but that $50 is would go towards rentals and purchases of VUDU content, including their fantastic HDX 1080p movies. Rentals cost from $1-4 dollars, and purchases are obviously higher.
We recently reported on a lot of the Internet content that has also just made its way to the VUDU service, so all in all, we think this would make a nice gift - either for someone else, or for yourself. Our only complaint with VUDU remains that their speeds are limited, which provides a very, very poor experience if you want to rent HDX content. No matter how fast your Internet connection is, VUDU caps downloads at 4.0 Mbps. That means that my super fast 50.0 Mbps FiOS connection means absolutely nothing, and I still have to wait hours before I can watch an HDX flick. If they got rid of that, it would unleash HDX, their flagship offering. A personal niggle for sure, though. If you don't care, pick one up!
If you miss the sale, you can typically find some nice VUDU deals on Amazon.

Customer Reviews for Horizontal Blinds Graber
By customer from TN
I purchased these blinds for nine windows in real wood cherry without holes. They were delivered in perfect condition and installed with no problems.View this product
"Not a handyman"
By notahandyman from monett, mo
I recently went throught the entire process of measuring, matching color, ordering and finally, installing blinds ordered from blindsgalore.com. This process was made simple by following blindsgalore's website. My wife was terrified that I would, for lack of better words, destroy our home when intalling the blinds. However this process of installing blinds was so easy I now have the confidence to tackle other house jobs that I know I should'nt be tackling. Oh well, at least my blinds look great! Also, I'll have you know that I had ordered samples from another online vendor, but blindsgalore's samples can in first - That effectively took the other vendor out of the running for my window treatment purchase. -AustinView this product
