Upgrade your PC memory w/ Crucial Technology

Amazon.com Product Description

Offering an incredible feature set and exceptional quality for its price, Samsung’s fifth-generation 42-inch HP-S4253 plasma TV uses the company’s proprietary electronic chassis and the latest DNIe enhancement circuitry to deliver outstanding brightness, contrast, and image clarity. Use it for home theater and use it for your PC–it’s perfect for both. In addition to a standard-broadcast NTSC tuner, it also features an integrated ATSC tuner that can capture over-the-air digital broadcasts from local network affiliates (the set will still require a set-top tuner for receiving non-terrestrial HD broadcasts from channels like HBO or Discovery).
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. Thanks to the new 13-bit processing capability of DNIe, the HP-S4253 can produce over 549 billion colors (compared to the one billion colors that TVs with 10-bit processing can produce.

This set features a 1024 x 768-pixel resolution, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 175-degree viewing angle, brightness rating of 1300 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), and an amazing 10000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV’s ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

The anti-glare plasma panel offers several protective features to resist burn-in, including auto pixel shift, signal pattern processing, and white screen function. It’s rated for a 60,000-hour panel life (6 hours of usage a day for 27 years). Other features include:

* Picture-in-picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources.
* Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
* Auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.
* Multi-lingual on-screen displays in English, Spanish or French.
* Side A/V input

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the sides of the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. It produces 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 watts total) and offers the following connection options:

* Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 on the side)
* S-Video: 2 inputs (1 on the side)
*Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs
* HDMI: 2 inputs
* PC: 1 D-Sub15 input
* RF: 2 inputs
* Digital audio: 1 coaxial and 1 optical

Tech Talk

HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV–all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats–standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

* Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into ÒfocusÓ during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
* TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
* The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
* Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Give your bike the ultimate upgrade with a GPS device designed just for two wheels, the TomTom Rider. And because it’s a TomTom device, it blends high technology and ease of use in ways that make navigating effortless.

The TomTom Rider’s interface couldn’t be easier to use.

The unit seamlessly integrates with your Bluetooth phone.

An intuitive, glove-friendly touchscreen interface, legendary 3D road mapping and voice instructions, and Bluetooth wireless technology converge to deliver the ultimate tool for motor-bikers.

The screen is also tailored for simple touchscreen operation, even with gloves. A mounting kit is also included that makes the Rider compatible with virtually any scooter or motorcycle. Power is provided by an integrated rechargeable battery that can be continuously charged by the bike’s battery, or recharged at home. An SD memory card contains all the maps you need for your journey, and there’s a USB port for PC connectivity.

With the Rider, everything you need for navigation is contained in the device. Just plug it in and go. This complete GPS navigation system offers door-to-door route planning to any address in the United States that’s also completely flexible.

Product Description

This compact video-making karaoke machine provides great party entertainment or practice for aspiring divas. The machine has a 5-1/2-inch black-and-white screen that highlights the lyrics and tempo of each song, and a two-digit LED screen that displays the track numbers of songs from the loaded CD. Features include an automatic voice control that lets singers replace the prerecorded voice on the CD with their own, a balance control to set the singer’s voice and prerecorded voice to equal sound levels, and an echo control to create a rich concert-hall effect. A built-in speaker and master volume control let songbirds belt out ballads to the entire room–or neighborhood! The most exciting feature, however, is the pop-up video camera that shows the performer on the karaoke or TV screen and records a music video to the VCR. Standard AV output jacks allow for use of the TV and VCR hookups or let you connect to another audio output device. This karaoke machine is covered by a 90-day manufacturer’s warranty, and CDG discs are sold separately.

I should mention that I look for templates all the time for my blogs. I just can’t afford to “pay” a designer or professional blog template developer to create a unique template for me and my network of blogs. A lot of the times, I go to the “usual” places, search engines, Emily Robbins, Alex King, WordPress .. etc etc ..

Not this time .. This time – I was participating in a community net-party like this one, Tuesday Night Mike Night, a few weeks ago .. and I saw this theme on the AdviceLibrary.com Blog.

By the way .. AdviceLibrary.com is an online article directory for both publishers and authors .. Check it out!

The theme is called … AdsMindedWide by Brian Sapiens of the Hi-Tech.

While I was “1-800-HART’icizing” this blog, adding my little bits here and there and started to play with the header graphic, CSS and more … my friend, the famous Joe Yanuzzi helped me out and created the above header (and about a dozen other choices too! I’d link his blog, but it’s in flux right now

HART (1-800-HART)

This is how I described the new look on HART-Empire – June 7, 2006

I was bored .. and decided that the 1-800-HART’s Picks blog deserved a new look, since it has not had a facelift since its inception.

This is an experiment in progress. Based on my statistics, only 4% of its readers were using browsers with screen views less than 1000 pixels, so I have selected one that is quite wider and more suitable for showcasing products, and for monetization.

Naturally, it just made sense to try the Ads Minded Wide Version Theme by Hi-Tech

NEW LOOK – Version 2.0

Currently, it is a work-in-progress as I tweak the code and color schemes and ads and really “1-800-HART’ize” it like I normally do for all of my websites.

OLD LOOK – Version 1.0

Plot Summary

Genres: Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Tagline: No Man Is Just A Number.
Plot Outline A resigned secret agent is abducted to a bizarre prison where the warders are almost as determined to break him as he is in trying to escape.
Plot Synopsis: “The Prisoner” is a unique piece of television. It addresses issues such as personal identity and freedom, democracy, education, scientific progress, art and technology, while still remaining an entertaining drama series. Over seventeen episodes we witness a war of attrition between the faceless forces behind ‘The Village’ (a Kafkaesque community somewhere between Butlins and Alcatraz) and its most strong willed inmate, No. 6. who struggles ceaselessly to assert his individuality while plotting to escape from his captors.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential video
If a top-level spy decided he didn’t want to be a spy anymore, could he just walk into HQ and hand in his resignation? With all that classified knowledge in his head, would he be allowed to become a civilian again, free to go about his life? The answer, according to the stylish, brilliantly conceived 1960s British TV series The Prisoner, is a resounding no. In fact, instead of receiving a gold watch for his years of faithful service, our hero (played by Patrick McGoohan) is followed home to his London flat and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a picturesque village where everyone is known by a number. Where is it? Why was he brought here? And, most important, how does he leave?
As we learn in Episode 1, Number 6 can’t leave. The Village’s “citizens” might dress colorfully and stroll around its manicured gardens while a band plays bouncy Strauss marches, but the place is actually a prison. Surveillance is near total, and if all else fails, there’s always the large, mysterious white ball that subdues potential escapees by temporarily smothering them. Who runs the Village? An ever-changing Number 2, who wants to know why Number 6 resigned. If he’d only cooperate, he’s told, life can be made very pleasant. “I’ve resigned,” he fumes. “I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own.” So sets the stage for the ultimate battle of wills: Number 6′s struggle to retain his privacy, sanity, and individuality against the array of psychological and physical methods the Village uses to break him.

So does he ever escape? And does he ever find out who Number 1 is? “Questions are a burden to others,” the Village saying goes. “Answers, a prison for oneself.” Within this complete 17-episode set (which contains the entire series), all is revealed. Or is it? –Steve Landau

Product Description

The Prisoner, one of the most remarkable and challenging science fiction series of all time, follows “No. 6,” a former government operative sent into a seemingly idyllic but twisted prison known as “The Village,” where he struggles to retain his identity in the face of sophisticated and relentless attempts by the powers-that-be (known as “No. 2″) to extract his secrets. Patrick McGoohan’s complete classic 17-episode TV series is presented in the fan-preferred viewing order, which follows events and dialogue within each story to provide a consistent and enjoyable viewing experience.

Skypeâ„¢ Cordless Phone

“Stick it to the Man” Wirelessly

Shhh… don’t tell your phone company but there’s this little service called Skypeâ„¢ that, using your PC and some internet black magic, lets you talk to anyone, anywhere in the world for free. What’s that you say? You already know about Skypeâ„¢ and have been using it for months to call your cousin Sven in Copenhagen… Ahh. But wouldn’t it be delightful to roam your house freely while you and Sven chat about how Empire Strikes Back really was the best Star Wars movie ever made and how newer technology and special effects don’t necessarily make a better film?

Enter the Linksys Skypeâ„¢ Cordless Phone. Rather than be tethered to your PC for all your Skypeâ„¢ calls you can “stick it to the man” wirelessly by making and receiving free calls from every room in your house. The compact handset sports a color LCD allowing you to display your Skypeâ„¢ contact list, connection status, and see who is calling with Caller ID. Built in speakerphone on the handset is a nice extra.

Simply plug in the USB base station to your PC, install the included software and be Skyping in no time. You even get 60 free SkypeOut minutes… to call those pesky friends who don’t already use Skypeâ„¢.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential video
Two of the all-time cartoon classics It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (a Peabody and Emmy winner from 1965) highlight this three-disc, six-episode set. Although the DVDs contain no extras (good grief!) and could have been combined on a single disc (drat!), the collection looks and sounds wonderful on DVD. The content is the same on the VHS and DVD sets, with two episodes per tape or disc. Accompanying Pumpkin is You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown, a cute spin on politics that has aged very well since its 1972 release. Christmas sports a lackluster sequel of sorts, It’s Christmas Time Again, Charlie Brown (1992) that has Sally dwelling on getting (instead of giving), Charlie Brown facing a spending dilemma, and everyone suffering stage fright before the annual school play. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) also won an Emmy but is not as well known as others; it also suffers from not having the original cast. Snoopy is foremost in helping to put on an impromptu feast (toast and popcorn) as the gang keeps forgetting the true meaning of the holiday. Also on the disc is a better Thanksgiving venue, The Mayflower Voyages (1988), part of the This is America, Charlie Brown series that breathed new life into the franchise. Mostly narrated by Linus, the show traces the Pilgrims’ plight and doesn’t talk down to youngsters on the hardships they faced. It’s a treasure of a gift (for others or yourself), all nicely packaged. –Doug Thomas

Product Description:
Pumpkin Season is a Read-A-Long DVD Picture book for children of all ages. It is a wonderful story about what goes on in a pumpkin patch during the fall season. Our story revolves around a cute little pumpkin named Reggie. He can’t wait to go to the jack-o-lantern auditions and play pumpkin games at the seasonal patch parties. However, in pumpkin society you either qualify to become a jack-o-lantern, or you are kicked out of the patch and made into pie by the Bakerman!
The Bakerman never makes pies out of the official jack-o-lanterns, but he has a big pie order to fill and now all pumpkins are up for grabs, especially Reggie. Reggie’s courage and determination unites the pie pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns, and they all join together to defeat the Bakerman. The jack-o-lanterns finally realize that big or small, scary or not, they are all the same. And from now on all pumpkins will be Holiday jack-o-lanterns, thanks to Reggie.

Product Description

The brand new AlcoMate is one of the most popular consumer-oriented breathalyzers on the market. It uses a highly-selective semiconductor sensor to provide reliable accuracy from 0.00 to 0.40% BAC.

Its sleek design and portability make it a great choice for bars, parties, and social functions. In addition to its appealing design and ease of use, this model is also very accurate. A modified version of the AlcoMate is actually used by some law enforcement organizations as an initial screening device. This item is brand new and comes with the full manufacturer’s warranty. The package includes: AlcoMate breathalyzer unit, carrying case, 5 washable and reusable mouthpieces and one 9 volt battery.

Ever spend eight hours in a “Productivity Bin”? Ever had worries about layoffs? Ever had the urge to demolish a temperamental printer or fax machine? Ever had to endure a smarmy, condescending boss? Then Office Space should hit pretty close to home for you. Peter (Ron Livingston) spends the day doing stupefyingly dull computer work in a cubicle. He goes home to an apartment sparsely furnished by IKEA and Target, then starts for a maddening commute to work again in the morning. His coworkers in the cube farm are an annoying lot, his boss is a snide, patronizing jerk, and his days are consumed with tedium. In desperation, he turns to career hypnotherapy, but when his hypno-induced relaxation takes hold, there’s no shutting it off. Layoffs are in the air at his corporation, and with two coworkers (both of whom are slated for the chute) he devises a scheme to skim funds from company accounts. The scheme soon snowballs, however, throwing the three into a panic until the unexpected happens and saves the day. Director Mike Judge has come up with a spot-on look at work in corporate America circa 1999. With well-drawn characters and situations instantly familiar to the white-collar milieu, he captures the joylessness of many a cube denizen’s work life to a T. Jennifer Aniston plays Peter’s love interest, a waitress at Chotchkie’s, a generic beer-and-burger joint à la Chili’s, and Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) has a minor but hilarious turn as Peter’s mustached, long-haired, drywall-installin’ neighbor. –Jerry Renshaw –This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.

Here’s what the author has to say:

**Learn over 60 new voicings, chords, progressions, and fancy arrangements to playing worship music! From fancy inversions of the ninth chord to the secret “Quartal” chord (which sounds very smooth), you’ll learn how to replace all of your basic triads and 3-fingered chords with full-sounding 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and altered chords! Believe me when I say: “Others will notice!”

**Learn patterns (or what I’m calling “couples”) like: “1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 2-5, 2-6, 3-6, 3-4, 4-5, 4-3, 4-6, 4-7, 5-1, 5-2, 5-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-3, and many more! Don’t be intimidated by the numbers. They are simply taken from major scales. The power in understanding all of these couples is that once you know them all, there will be absolutely NO SONG you won’t be able to learn! These patterns are in 95% of all gospel worship songs and you’ll know them now!

**Train your ear to recognize these small “couples” with specially designed ear-training sections of the video course (one-on-one with me)! Once you’ve mastered all of the “couples” above, then you must be able to recognize them in songs! I will constantly test you right there on the screen without you seeing the notes that I am playing in an effort to help you build your ear skills!

These are just a FEW of the MANY things you’ll be able to do once you’ve got this special edition of the Gospel Keys.

Jermaine told me himself that virtually THOUSANDS of people have been calling about this 5 hour mega course — the phones haven’t stopped ringing for the past month…

Contents:

Disc 1: Introduction of tones, basic chords, extended voicings, “music edutainment reality clips!” (1 hour and 25 minutes)

The first part of the course is focused on teaching you all the chords you’ll need to know to play a majority of worship songs. From personal experience, I’ve found these same chords to be present in just about 4 out of every 5 songs!

What most gospel musicians fail to realize is that chords are recycled and played over and over again in different songs. So part one focuses on getting you up to par, teaching you all the chords you need to know to get started (both basic, extended, quartal, and more)! Lots of content (various chord voicings, inversions, and demonstrations) has been added to this section and it goes beyond the basics — you get a whopping 80 minutes of step-by-step, over-the-shoulder instruction here!

Disc 2: Extensive ear-training, chord prediction techniques, and the “couple” system! (1 hour and 15 minutes)

Once you’ve mastered the chords and voicings from part one, you’ll learn, through a series of ear-training tests, how to differentiate between certain sounds. I’m going to show you how to determine what types of chords and progressions are being heard so that you skip all the mistakes that most musicians make when learning new songs!

You’ll also learn how to pinpoint patterns in chord progressions and how to predict what’s coming next in a song. I’ve taught this technique to thousands of people and they’ve benefited greatly from knowing exactly which chords lead to other chords! Music and progressions are circular and I’ll teach you just how to master this circle of chords and patterns!

Then, to top it all off, you’ll learn my couple system and how it helps you to play all of your favorite worship songs by ear. Many people get discouraged when learning new material but if you can simply think of chord progressions as small couples (just two chords at a time), you’ll immediately understand how songs and progressions work!

Disc 3: Vocal accompaniment, “real-life” worship songs, and application! (1 hour and 25 minutes)

Part three brings everything together (the chords and voicings from part one and the couples and progressions from part two) and allows you to see, step-by-step, how to play worship hits like “Thank You Lord,” “As the Deer,” “Anointing,” Hallelujah, “I Really Love the Lord (remix),” along with tons of “add-ons”, “fill-ins,” and tricks that bring your favorite songs to life!

While five songs are specifically covered, chord-by-chord, the systems and patterns you’ll learn from the course will enable you to apply these same techniques to tons of worship songs — all by ear!

With a live vocalist (not recorded — but “live”), you’ll get firsthand experience at how to accompany a singer and what it takes to play in this worship style. From left-hand movements to right hand chordal arrangements, this special edition over-delivers in many ways and you’ll be sure to benefit from almost 5 hours of instruction, demonstrations, and explanations!

This special edition is limited in quantity so the first 175 people to order after Wednesday, October 5, 2005 (starting at 7 a.m. pacific) will be receiving BONUS DISC 4!

Disc 4: An in-depth 30-minute, one-on-one, personal interview with Jermaine Griggs, founder of the Hear and Play Music Group (over 200,000 students)!

Plus bonus “uncut” and “behind-the-scenes” footage, bloopers, mess-ups, the headquarters, and more! (40+ min).

This is only available to the first 175 to order (either online or by phone). The website and phone lines open up at 7 a.m. and are usually off the hook all day… literally.

…So make plans to get your hands on the entire 4-disc (5 hour) package and your piano playing will never be the same!

With over 100 million copies sold in over 40 languages, millions have grown up with The Lord of the Rings, the classic epic tale considered by millions to be the greatest fantasy-adventure story ever told. J.R.R. Tolkien’s phenomenal epic trilogy chronicles the struggle between good and evil for possession of a magical ring.

IN STOCK
The book trilogy, named the most popular book of the 20th Century, has been presented in a series of feature films from New Line Cinema. “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King” together compose the motion picture event of the 21st Century. A work of sheer invention on a staggering scale, “The Lord of the Rings” takes us back to “Middle-earth,” an era that predates written history, where humans share the world with immortal elves, powerful wizards, and industrious dwarves.

Known primarily for their innate abilities to smith metal and stone, Dwarves are proud and strong-willed, ready for battle at a moment’s notice. Like many Dwarves, Gimli, son of Gloin, favors the axe as his primary weapon. Accompanying his father to the Council of Elrond at Rivendell, Gimli is chosen to represent the Dwarves in the Fellowship of the Ring. After the Fellowship becomes separated, Gimli fights valiantly alongside Legolas and Aragorn from the Battle of Helms Deep to the Black Gates of Mordor. With his unshakable determination for success, he proves to be a valuable aid to the Fellowship. In Moria, after a cave-troll destroys the tomb of his forefather, Balin, Gimli is able to retrieve the mighty two-handed Battle Axe that had once belonged to the Dwarf-lord. From that point on, Gimli uses this Battle Axe for all close combat. Prepared for as many different situations as possible, he carries the Battle Axe with him, along with his Walking Axe, Bearded Axe, and two throwing axes. The massive head of this Battle Axe could be swung in both directions, making it a good choice for rapid moving combat.

Includes a parchment certificate of authenticity and a wood display plaque.
Overall length: 37-3/4″

Each axe head thickness: 3/8″

3-D LASER CRYSTAL ART PIECES

LASER CRYSTAL: Two Dolphins with Large Coconut Trees

(subject to inventory quantities, and design availability)

This is a 3-D Laser Crystal Art Piece of “Two Dolphins with Large Coconut Trees”.

Laser Crystal Art is created by a powerful laser beam which is highly focused on a spot inside the crystal, melting microscopic pieces of glass. Then the laser beam refocuses to burn another spot, corresponding with the previous one. It is repeated thousands of times, to create this amazing 3-D image inside the glass. Crystal design has bevelled edges, and measures approximately 3″ x 2″ x 2″ (50mm x 50mm x 80mm).

Comes with nice gift box (see picture). Perfect as a small unique gift or desk decor. Please click on above image for greater detail, however the 2-D picture on the Internet does not do justice to this lovely 3-D Laser Crystal.

We recommended that you consider also purchasing the “Crystal Rotary Slide Show” item. This spectacular LED light is designed to make the 3D laser crystal look more breath taking when you put the crystal on top of the base.

The base utilizes a stylish rotary mirror disc and LED lighting show, which make the 3D-image glow in an amazing fashion. This beautiful crystal with the brilliant color will brighten up any room or location that you put it in.

The large display (4″ diameter) has 8 rotary lights and and the small display (3″ diameter) has 4 rotary lights are both listed under separate cover and not included in the above price.
