Reviewing the Garmin Forerunner 201 GPS Watch

By Joseph Aaron

If you are a professional athlete, you will always certainly benefit from the Garmin Forerunner GPS 201 watch. It has a striking array of functions to offer. It contains a GPS sensor, an electronic map, session change and reversal capabilities, calorie tracker, lap info and information, performance archives, auto stopwatch with auto-lap and auto pause features, lap timer, pace alert, distance alert, free Training Center software, a bendy wristwatch strap, and an A/C desktop charging unit with a serial port.

The GPS 201 is perfect for a professional as well as a more casual athlete. It mainly works to help you manage the rate and tracking aspects. This unit offers plenty of plus points, but its worst drawback is that it does not work predictably. This is the only reason it is hard to consider it perfect. Its dimensions of 3.3 ? 1.7 ? 0.7 make it appear more bulky than a normal fitness watch; actually it is lighter than it looks, weighing in at only 2.8 ounces. The watch is waterproof and therefore may be worn by swimmers or by athletes in rainy or damp weather conditions.

The GPS 201 can store a lap record history of up to 5000 laps and offers many more features that you should tinker with to match up with your own demands and personal requirements. One of the most important features the watch provides is the Training Center Software. This is the perfect feature for you to use to save your performance statistics and can also help you see ways in which they have varied along your path, particularly if you have worked out at different elevations. The Virtual Partner component helps you set goals that you want to reach. You simply have to compare your actual workout session with that of your virtual partner.

The GPS function of this 201 model is put down by many users because the signal can be fickle at times. In addition to that, they also tend to find fault with the irregularities in components such as altitude and pace readings. This model does not have a heart rate monitor. Currently, when most of the computer interfaces can work with a USB, this model falls to the back of the pack with a serial port facility.

The wristband of the Forerunner 201 GPS Fitness Watch is stretchy, enabling you to wear the watch by wearing it on your wrist or your bicep as you choose. Its LCD display screen is a joy to view in well-lit conditions as well as in the shadows. The rechargeable lithium alloy battery can remain charged for 14 hours before losing power. It appears to be just fine for runners, but may not be quite adequate for bicycling, etc.

Overall, the Garmin Forerunner GPS 201 is a watch with a lot of benefits. The training Center software and the Virtual partner features warrant special mention. Ultimately, its patchy GPS signaling is its only flaw.

Biker Radio Show

By LJ James

I have been writing about the Biker Lifestyle for years as a freelance writer and I have also been DJing Bike events for many years. I knew I wanted to bring the two together and do a Biker Style radio show right from the beginning. I had spoken with local stations in my area about doing a Biker radio show and each time the radio station either wanted lots of money up front or they just wanted nothing to do with a Biker radio show. The Biker market is what they call a niche Market and stations want shows that will appeal to everyone.

I knew that the motorcycle market was going to be tough. If I was to use regular radio station I was going to only be able offer the show to local Bikers and it would be a show that was on only at a certain time every week, so if you missed the show well that's it you missed it. This is not what I really wanted.

I wanted a show where Bikers from all over the world could listen in and be part of it. Being We are Bikers and never know where we will be at any given time I also wanted the Bikers to be able to listen to the show on their time schedule. The answer I knew was the Internet. But how to do it? I had no Idea.

I didn't have the cash to start my own Internet radio station. So I started looking into existing Internet stations. Again the same problems everyone wanted money upfront and the shows would only be on at a certain time! I knew there was a way to make this work I just did not know what it was!

The answer came during the Summer of 2008 when a guy from Florida called the Paisan sent me an email saying he had read some of my articles and he would like to interview me on his Internet radio show called Sundays Sauce Pot. I called him and after speaking to him I agreed to be on the show.

The show I did with the Paisan and his partner Danny Dawg was unforgettable and I had a great time. I developed a friendship with Danny Dawg and the Paisan. When I told them how I wanted to do my own Show for years they where happy to explain how I could do a show like theirs. The show would go Live at 8pm on Wednesdays and could be listen to from the beginning any time a person went to the website from any computer world wide 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This was perfect it was everything I had been looking for over 10 years! With help I figured out how to work every thing and the Biker Lowdown Radio Show was born.

I had originally planned on waiting to start the show in January as I wanted to make sure everything was perfect! Then I remembered nothing in life is perfect and I just started the show as is. The response the show has received has been beyond anything I could have hoped for and has really been overwhelming!

The Biker Lowdown chat room gets busier every week and it lets listeners know they are really a part of the show! My goals for the show is to be entertaining and let all who Ride know what is going on in the Motorcycle world at the same time. I am also working on a much larger more inter active website and I am getting ready to start having T-Shirts, Bumper Stickers and so much more to give out to my listens at events! I invite you all to check out the show at BikerLowdown.com let me know what you think and what topics you would like to talk about !

I am Your Bro LJ James AmericanBikerX.com I'll See you on the road!!!

Dish Network Is The Obvious Choice

By Issac Penland

With so many options to choose from when looking at TV service providers it's easy to have trouble sorting them all out. However, there are a number of reasons why Dish Network should be your TV service provider of choice.

First of all, the fact that Dish Network uses satellite technology to deliver all of its programming means that it's available in many more areas than cable TV. In fact, while cable TV is available in big cities, suburbs, and some medium sized towns, Dish Network's satellite TV is available everywhere. It's the rare piece of property that doesn't have a place to mount a satellite dish facing south, so there's an excellent chance that you'll be able to get this great service no matter where you live! In fact, if you live outside of a cable TV service area, satellite TV might be your only option.

Another implication to the fact that this company has a much larger service area than any cable TV company is that even if you live in an area that offers cable TV, you probably won't be able to take it with you when you move. Chances are that when you move you'll have to find another cable TV company (provided you move to a place where cable TV is available) and go to the trouble of having it connected and learning which channels are which. This simply isn't a problem with Dish Network because of the fact that it can go with you. You'll have to get the system set up again and you'll have to get used to new local channels if you subscribe to them, but that's a lot less trouble than finding a new TV service provider!

Dish Network also has the great programming and diverse selection of entertainment packages that make it a good choice for your TV source. With choices such as America's Everything Pak with over two hundred and sixty channels at one end and Dish family with its forty channels on the other, you'll be able to choose from a tremendous range of entertainment packages that can suit your every need!

Plus, regardless of which entertainment package you choose, you'll be able to add more channels to it in order to get the customized package that you really need. For instance, movie buffs might want to add premium movie channels from big names like Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, and HBO to a package such as America's Top 100 rather than getting a larger programming package that has the sports channels that they don't need. It's also possible for the student of foreign languages to add any of a variety of different international channels to her or his entertainment package!

No matter what your tastes, you'll want to consider adding HDTV channels to your entertainment package! That's because Dish Network's selection of HDTV channels can provide a refreshingly new way to watch TV. If you've ever wished that you could watch all of your TV in a commercial movie theater then HDTV is for you! That's because this is the TV format that's designed to make everything look great on a big screen and sound great through a superior sound system! Dish Network has every kind of TV programming that you could imagine in the HDTV format! This means watching movies, sports, dramas, and even the news in true home theater detail!

Dish Network also provides receivers with great DVR capability. With a DVR receiver you'll not only be able to record dozens of hours of HDTV and conventional TV, but you'll even be able to expand the recording capacity without limit thanks to the ability to use external hard drives!

Dish Network is the obvious choice for your TV service provider.

Dish Network provides you with numerous options when it comes to choosing entertainment packages that have a wide variety of TV entertainment. For example, its America's Top 100 Entertainment Package has over one hundred channels and it's only the introductory level package! If you opt to go with America's Everything Pak, you'll be getting as many as three hundred channels to choose from.

Moreover, the ability to add channels and special packages to any of these can help you customize these entertainment packages to meet all of your exact needs! Customizing one of these entertainment packages is as simple as adding a premium movie channel package such as HBO or Starz, adding some foreign language channels, adding adult channels, or tacking on a set of HDTV channels!

HDTV in particular is an area that Dish Network excels at providing for its subscribers! While other TV service providers were only providing ten to twenty national HDTV channels, Dish Network was delivering nearly forty, and its available High Def channels have only increased since then!

This makes recording your favorite TV shows- no matter when they air- incredibly easy. In addition, each of these devices can record video from two channels at the same time, and even allow you to watch a video that has already been recorded!

The best example of the freedom that Dish Network can bring you is ability to live anywhere while still enjoying the absolute highest quality TV.

This is a result of the fact that Dish Network uses satellite TV technology instead of cables to transmit its programming to its subscribers.

Thanks to the innovative application of advanced technology, this company will allow you to watch TV without even being at home! There are a couple of ways that this company can provide this service.

Cell Phone Ringtones

By Gray Rollins

Landlines and cell phones have different ring tones. While most landline phones have only one ringtone (the familiar brrrrrring sound), cell phones give you a lot of options. The standard ringtone of landlines phones are rapidly becoming a thing of the past as more and more people make the transition to cellular.

Cell phone ring tones are one of the most common way to personalize one's cell phone. A lot of cell phones on the market already have several different ringtones loaded out of the box. There are quite a few people who never get around to changing this ring tone and just stick with the default.

There's no reason to stick with that one boring old ringtone though. There are a few different types of ringtone you can choose from. There are the very basic, one note at a time monophonic ringtones, polyphonic ringtones, which play several notes at once for a richer sound and the more popular true tone ringtones. These ringtones are clips of audio files (either MP3 or WMA format) of about 15 seconds in length. One great way to customize your cell phone is by assigning a different ring tone to each caller.

There are many promotional offers out there for free ringtones; often, you'll be asked to fill out a survey or sign up for an email list to get your free ringtone - however, you can buy ringtones for a s little as 99 cents, so it's a bargain either way. You can also make your own ringtones if your phone can record sounds - you can record distinctive sounds or even the voices of your friends for ringtones!

Since your cell phone is a primary function of life then why not customize it to your tastes? There are so many ring tones available you can have one for every person who gets the privilege to be on your SIM card. Depending on who is on your cell phone contact list, you can give each person their own ring tone based on a song that you identify with them. College fight songs, wedding songs, just about any song you can think of they've got a true tone available.

Personally, I have five ringtones on my cell phone and I use one for my wife, another for my tech-savvy eight year old son and yet another for a college friend of mine. When you know who's calling, you never have to deal with callers who called the wrong number or a salesperson.

It can be a lot of fun to shop for individual ringtones for everyone on your contacts list. In an age where technology has depersonalized some aspects of our lives, it's good to know that cell phones still offer the possibilities of creativity, personality and fun.

You can create your own ring tone or buy one from a subscription site. Be careful with the subscription site though, you don't want to get stuck with a bunch of ring tones that don't reflect what you want to say or hear. There are some subscription sites that allow you benefit from their research based on your preferences. Sorry, I've got to cut this short, the ring tone titled, "From This Moment" by Shania Twain tells me my wife is calling.

Maximize Your Options With Dish Network

By Issac Penland

If you want options, then Dish Network is the TV service provider for you! While other TV service providers talk about flexibility and customer service, this is the one that actually delivers with its dynamic programming packages, the technology to let you watch what you want, and options that even let you take TV with you when you travel!

Dish Network's flexibility starts out with the fact that its satellite technology lets you enjoy great TV no matter where you live! With satellite TV signals blanketing the entire continent, it doesn't matter whether you're in the middle of an enormous suburb or one hundred miles from the nearest power line. So long as you have some electricity and that ability to aim a satellite dish at the southern sky, you'll be able to enjoy Dish Network's great programming! Plus, since this satellite TV company has a nationwide service area, you won't have to switch providers if you move!

The same features that make Dish Network available everywhere have also prompted many people to take the service with them when they travel by recreational vehicle or on their own boats. The fact that a satellite TV system can be installed in these vehicles allows subscribers to see the world without sacrificing their favorite TV entertainment!

Another great form of technology that's available through Dish Network is that of the DVR! Some models of satellite receivers have DVR's built into them which allows them to store specific TV shows on a built in computer hard disk! This provides a large amount of storage capacity as well as instant access to any single video.

Give Your Family The Ultimate In Telecommunications With Comcast

By Dawn Amerson

You realize the benefits that come from being able to use the most modern telecommunications technology in your home. You know that a high speed Internet connection can make it possible to take online classes, let your kids get information for their homework, or make it easier to manage a household. And you realize that cable television brings you the most convenient form of home entertainment that you can possibly get. You even know that having a telephone service that uses advanced technology to make it cheaper and easier to call anybody is a wonderful addition to any service plan. The big question is, if you realize all of these things, why haven't you switched to Comcast yet?

Maybe you haven't realized that there is actually a company that can provide you with everything you want in your home telecommunications services. But Comcast is such a company. Whether you are looking for fast Internet, more home entertainment, or any other quality service, Comcast can provide you with it. Best of all, you can get all of this without having to break the bank. You will likely find your services cheaper than what you are paying right now, especially if you bundle all of your services under the Comcast Triple Play.

Though some package deals might bring lousy services together under one low price to make people bite, Comcast's services are not like that. In fact, every single one of the company's services are of the highest quality that you will find anywhere. If you need to be convinced of this fact, start with Comcast's cable television service. Comcast's cable TV service is a fully digital (meaning no analog channels whatsoever!) service which allows customers to experience the most advanced technologies available. Each programming package contains at least 200 channels and some run closer to 300. Premium movie channels, in depth sports coverage, foreign language channels, and other options are always available if you want them. And, for people with demanding schedules or who like to watch television on their own terms, On Demand is a popular new service. On Demand is comprised of hundreds of movies and television shows that can be selected from a special menu and rented for a day. Even premium movies are available through Premiums On Demand.

You won't be able to object to the quality of Comcast's services based on its Internet service either. In fact, the speed and accessibility of broadband cable Internet might just be what sells you on Comcast's services. A typical high speed Internet customer gets six to eight Mbps of download speed at all times. Then, when the customer is downloading something large, the connection jumps up to twelve Mbps. Considering the size of most modern downloads, this will allow you to finish most downloads within a second and larger ones within less than a minute. Compare this with a DSL connection and you will realize that you can save tons of time that would have been spent staring at your screen waiting for the download to complete.

The Triple Play also includes telephone service- called Digital Voice. Having the opportunity to throw your telephone service into your service plan makes everything a lot more convenient.

Now that you realize that there is a company that can not only offer you everything you need, but also give it to you at a price that you can handle, why not choose Comcast as your provider.

Free Reverse Phone Searches ? How Do They Work?

By Sam Lockwood

Imagine being able to simply key in a phone number and then being able to know exactly who that number belongs to. It's possible to do just that with what is known as a "reverse phone lookup". Not only is it a neat way to get information on someone but also an incredibly useful tool.

It would be fair to say that the leading reasons for people wanting to do reverse phone searchers, is to verify a caller's identity, to inquire as to who owns a specific number of a call they missed and furthermore, to run a personal check on some of the numbers which have been dialled or received on a spouse or partner's phone if there is any suspicion of cheating.

It has only been in very recent times that more and more database are becoming available and this alone has made reverse look-ups possible

Nowadays however, with the internet at everybody's fingertips, finding out information regarding a phone number has never been easier. In fact, there are numerous companies dedicated entirely to this type of service who can provide information regarding almost all phone numbers.

Admittedly, in most cases there is a charge involved for performing a reverse look-up but considering the charge is miniscule, everyone can afford it. Alternatively, there are also other possible ways of getting this information for free.

Try this free version of a reverse phone search - it won't take long and it's easy to do. Using Google, simply enter the phone number into the search box between quotation marks and hit the search button.

The success of this search will be dependent on whether or not the owner of the number has ever published the number online, for example, as part of a profile on one of the social networking sites. If they have, you can be sure Google will find it and you can take a look at the information that is displayed on the webpage.

As a rule of thumb, paid services provide both employment history and address history in addition to name and current address so if Google has let you down, you may want to consider a paid service.

If you decide on using a paid service, you'd be bettor off to avoid using companies which charge you per search. Rather, companies that charge a one-time fee upon sign-up are far better value, allowing members to conduct an unlimited amount of searches. You're never billed again when you need to use this type of search.

When one considers the small fee these companies charge, the ability to perform reverse phone searches is an exceptional feature to have at your disposal.

Myfax Online Faxing: An Inexpensive Alternative to a Fax Machine

By Caressa Waechter

Everyone knows that a fax machine is a very efficient method of sending documents from one person to another. They allow for fast, quick, and convenient communication via phone lines. However, owning a fax machine is not for everyone.

Fax machines can be a lot of bother to own. They have to be connected to a dedicated phone line if they are to be ready to receive faxes at all times. You also have to have somewhere to put the machine, and you have the concern of maintaining the eyesore. Owning a traditional fax machine can be something that a lot of people just don't want to deal with.

If you don't want to own a fax machine, but need to use one occasionally, there is some good news. Online faxing gives you the ability to send and receive faxes whenever you want, and does not require that you actually own a fax machine, or pay for a dedicated phone line. You receive your very own fax number and you send and receive your faxes via the Internet.

While there are several services that offer online faxing, myfax is one of the better ones. With myfax, you can turn any Internet connected computer into a fully functioning fax machine. Faxes are send and received either via a convenient to use website, via email, or via Microsoft Office programs.

Online faxing with the myfax service is very cost affective, with service starting at under $10 per month. You have the choice of having either a toll free or local fax number which is used to receive faxes, and any computer connected to the Internet can be used to send faxes.

With multiple fax plans to choose from, myfax has an online faxing plan to fit the needs of everyone. And if you end up sending or receiving more pages that what is allocated by your plan, they offer reasonable priced additional pages.

There is one downside to the myfax online faxing service, which is the inability to sign or edit faxes online. This allows you to make changes to fax documents without needing to print them, and is a service that is offered by some of their competition.

If sending faxes is something you ever find yourself wishing you could do, but you cannot justify owning a fax machine, myfax has a solution for you. Why not try their free, 30-day trial and see if the myfax online faxing service is what you have been looking for?

Discovering How VoIP Works

By Torrie Cantor

Not everyone knows about how VoIP works. VoIP, after all, is one of the latest technological advancements in communication. Now, VoIP could be used instead of standard phone lines. So how does this technology work? How can you benefit from it?

Technology - The first step to understanding VoIP is to understand present technology. Our phone lines make use of what is known as circuit switching. Your call is passed through a series of switches until it reaches your recipient and the circuit is opened. In the span of time that you are on the line, the circuit remains open even at times when there is dead air. Even if you are just listening or not talking, the dedicated line is open. Since you are using this particular line, you have to pay for the number of minutes that you have been on it. The dead air is therefore considered a waste that you have to pay for.

VoIP Functions - VoIP functions differently. There is no circuit switching and no dedicated line. What is present is packet switching. With packet switching, your analog audio data is converted to digital packets. These packets have their own addresses so they know where they have to go. These packets then proceed to the nearest router to the next until it reaches the recipient. Once the recipient gets the packets, it is converted back to audio form.

The Difference - There is a big difference about how VoIP works. There is obviously no dedicated line. The packets also take different routes depending in which is most accessible. Other routes remain open for the exit or entry of other data packets. There is thus no need to pay for the dead air in which no data is sent. The lack of a dedicated line is what makes VoIP primarily cheaper than traditional phone lines.

Accessibility - Aside from the lesser cost of VoIP, its accessibility is also a major attraction. You can use VoIP whenever and wherever there is internet connection. In our world today, the internet is accessible in almost any place where people are expected to use them. This piece of technology is therefore a big bonus for people who need to travel a lot. You no longer have to spend for long distance calls that can take a big chunk off your budget. VoIP offers the chance to save a lot on the cots of calls.

The Catch - The problem with VoIP though is that it still has a lot of kinks to be worked out. There are still many services that rely on the typical audio communications set-up. One important service for example is 911. When a 911 call is received, there is instant recognition of a caller's exact location. This is still something that isn't possible through VoIP. The packets that are sent simply have IP addresses on them but no physical addresses.

Limits of Computer Technology - Aside from this downside, VoIP is also prone to the weaknesses of computer technology. Your computer could crash or you could lose packets in the process of transmission. This is a big problem if you are transmitting very important information. Your packet data could also fall victim to viruses and hackers.

On principle, there are great advantages to how VoIP works. There is still a need however, to further improve the technology to ensure that users are satisfied and kept safe.

Dish Network Makes Satellite TV Better Than Ever

By Issac Penland

Satellite TV has a lot of advantages as a way to watch TV, and getting satellite TV from Dish Network is the best possible way to get the TV that you want to watch at a price that you can afford! That's because no one else does such an incredible job of delivering more first class TV channels to people all over the country, and offering the best technology currently available!

Dish Network's commitment to its subscribers has been proven time and again through everything from the incredible number of channels that it provides, to its innovative use of DVR technology, to its aggressive initiative to bring as many HDTV channels online as possible! All of this makes Dish Network a great company to do business with!

Dish Network was founded on the premise that every family, regardless of where they live, should have access to great TV and plenty of it! This company lives up to that guiding premise better than it ever has before with an introductory entertainment package that contains over one hundred channels! This package, specifically America's Top 100 Entertainment Package, is like a breath of fresh air to anyone who has been subjected to over the air terrestrial TV or cable TV. That's because it offers such a huge selection of channels at such an affordable price!

These channels include lots of great content for kids such as cartoons and educational programs, plenty of options for adults in the form of movie channels, and lots of options that the whole family can enjoy such as channels dedicated to sports and hobbies. All of this makes America's Top 100 a great option for the whole family! In addition, you can opt for much larger entertainment packages too. For instance, America's Top 200, America's Top 250, and America's Everything Pack allow you to access some truly great TV through the enormous number of channels that they offer!

Dish Network has also mastered a number of aspects of DVR technology in order to provide even better service to its subscribers. A DVR is an ingenious device that can record video directly off of the satellite signal and then play it back at a later time. It's easy to program to record things that you can be around to watch when they come on, but Dish Network has taken their usefulness far beyond time shifting TV! For example, it's now possible to have video on demand options through a satellite TV service!

This is done by transmitting special VOD content in the background of the satellite signal and letting a DVR record and store it on a hidden part of the hard disk. That video on demand content is then displayed on a pay per view basis through the Dish On Demand service! Another great application of DVR technology is the PocketDish which is a portable device that can display video downloaded from a DVR! These innovations definitely help to make Dish Network a more attractive option!

Dish Network has also been instrumental in furthering HDTV technology! HDTV channels will allow your HDTV set to meet its full potential with the best possible picture and incredible sound that will make the step from home entertainment system to home theater a reality! Dish Network also offers a number of different options for adding HDTV channels to your entertainment package!

Satellite TV just got a whole lot better thanks to Dish Network!

How To Get Free PC TV

By Jed Elaine

According to a recent report on TV viewership data gathered by NBC (NY Times, October 17, 2008), free Internet streaming is the most popular alternative to traditional television, accounting for roughly a quarter of total viewing based on field surveys of their TV episodes. Aside from streaming, paid downloads, VOD (video on demand) and mobile viewing were also assessed but their numbers were insignificant at best. The impressive amount of Internet streaming has indeed cast the writing on the wall for free TV on PC.

To a great extent, our daily life is already based on the internet. From shopping to public enquiry and personal messaging to office communication, internet is deeply entrenched in us, enrolling the major portion of American society. It's only fitting then that Internet TV should flourish, especially now that accelerated advancement of technology and infrastructure have long more than overcome the initial constraints and setbacks experienced by the industry in its early years.

Different kinds of television are distributed over the internet nowadays and the few most notable ones are Internet TV (ITV), Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), Broadband TV and User Generated Content TV (UGC TV). To broadly distinguish among themselves; ITV is free open-format video streaming, IPTV is closed and usually require set-top boxes governed under pay-per-view or subscription structure, Broadband TV is much like ITV with extended real-time interactive capabilities such as messaging, on-demand media, images and UGC TV are basically free-style individual short clips such as the immensely popular YouTube.

There are obvious benefits to be found in Internet TV for both the programming providers and viewers. Viewership is a key factor. It's on this account that programming providers are drawn. The carrot for them would be the potential advertising revenue or other similar agendas. On top of it, entry and set-up is as simplistic as it gets. Viewers won't quarrel with Internet TV either. It's free and it rocks.

TV and Internet, these are the two greatest pastimes of modern lifestyle. The situation is perfectly set for TV on PC. It will consolidate and optimize many things, none more than expenditure, time and even space. The majority of homes and workplaces are already equipped for it as all that's needed is a PC with internet access. Most of all, it will be a breakthrough for the many who are constantly torn between TV and internet, be it leisure, work or studies.

Having that said, the sheer volume and choice of raw free TV on PC can be overwhelming but the solution to this have been quick to emerge. How else but ? Since the television programming is viewed through the PC, it's almost automatic that computer software program would be employed to control and organize the access, download and watching of TV on PC. There is a handful of proprietary software retailing on the net that do an excellent job of it and as free TV on PC evolve, these software would only get better.

Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 - What a Great Show!

By Tasha Miller

This year's secret is out about Oprah's Favorite Things 2008, which aired on November 26th. The show this year was very different from past year's shows where the audience received several thousands of dollars in gifts.

The primary focus of this years Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 was to show you how you can get through the holiday season without spending a ton of money. Oprah was very wise to do a show like this considering the financial state that the country is in and showing people some creative options to purchasing gifts and giving gifts that are more heartfelt.

Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 was a combination of things such as Gratitude boxes, which Oprah says is one of her all time favorite things and she still, does it to this day. You can make or buy a Gratitude box for as little as $2 and place heartfelt notes inside to the person. These notes can be from just one person, friends or family. Words from the heart mean much more to people than something you buy them.

Oprah made a list of her favorite holiday music hits and in the spirit of the season she made both the music and the CD cover art available for download at her site including artist Faith Hill singing "Joy to the World", Aretha Franklin singing "Silent Night", Josh Groban, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", Tony Bennett, "I'll be Home for Christmas" and many, many more of this season's hits sung by today's hottest artists.

Another great gift idea from the Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 show was a Treasure Box. They cost about $12 and inside you can put numerous keepsakes for your family, friends and children. You can buy some file folders and put them in there and date or tag them however you like. Inside the folders place special photos, report card, awards, anything you can think of that would mean something to that person. Start one for your best friend and then maybe they will add to the box and on different occasions you can give them something else to add to their Treasure Box.

Hot Chocolate becomes more popular as the temperature goes down. For just a little bit of cash you can make people a gift they will truly enjoy...Hot Chocolate Cones. Simply take a few moments to find a recipe online to make your own hot chocolate, add marshmallows and chocolate chips and place it all into decorative candy bags or piping bags found locally at a craft store. Then just decorate simply with a bow or some added ribbon for an added extra touch.

Gift Baskets are a great inexpensive gift when you are making them yourself and the things that go into them.

HDTV: Read This Before Buying

By Don Pedro

Have you ever experienced thrilling sounds and breathtaking lively pictures that HDTVs deliver? Those who have the experience fall in love with this piece of modern technology. HDTV can give you the feeling of a theatre at the comfort of your home.

There are many differnces between traditional Standard definition television (SDTV) and HDTV. High definition televisions are digitally programmed and operated and therefore they are able to handle super quality video streams.

What most people like about the HDTV in the first place is the three dimensional surround sound effects. It gives you the feeling that everything is happening right before your eyes and thus making the pictures more vivid.

HDTV required digital video streams for input and the television is programmed and operated digitally. So TV channels are also needed to broadcast in a format suitable for digital televisions. However almost all the popular TV channels have already launched their new digital broadcasting schemes to meet their subscribers' needs.

There are many well known brands available in the market already. To compare the quality and prices, you need to do some investigations and talk with someone who already have an HDTV. You will also find many useful forum, blog or technology news sites where you will be able to discuss things about HDTV with experts.

You can even buy the television online from many popular online e trading sites. Some of those sites even often offers discounts that may save you a lot. There are sites like Amazon.com where you will find myriads of brands producing HDTV. From there you can easily choose the right one within your budget.

It needs no telling that, HDTVs will replace the old fashioned SDTV in the coming days. But for now HDTV remains a gadget for passion to many.

Your Fitness & GPS Tracking Solution

By Joseph Aaron

If you are a professional athlete, you will always certainly benefit from the Garmin Forerunner GPS 201 watch. It has a striking array of functions to offer. It contains a GPS sensor, an electronic map, session change and reversal capabilities, calorie tracker, lap info and information, performance archives, auto stopwatch with auto-lap and auto pause features, lap timer, pace alert, distance alert, free Training Center software, a bendy wristwatch strap, and an A/C desktop charging unit with a serial port.

The GPS 201 is perfect for a professional as well as a more casual athlete. It mostly takes care of the pacing and tracking aspects. This unit offers plenty of plus points, but its major design error would have to be that it does not work predictably. This is the reason why you would not consider it perfect. Its dimensions of 3.3 ? 1.7 ? 0.7 make it appear more bulky than a normal fitness watch; actually it is lighter than it looks, as it weighs only 2.8 ounces. The watch is waterproof and hence it can be worn by swimmers or by sports participants in rainy or wet weather conditions.

The GPS 201 can keep a lap record history of as many as 5000 laps and comes with a lot more features that you are able to adjust to match up with your own wishes and individual requirements. A very important feature the watch offers is the Training Center Software. This is the perfect tool for you to use to save your performance stats and can also let you see how they have varied along your path, especially if you have worked out at different elevations. The Virtual Partner component allows you to set standards that you desire to attain. You just need to compare your current workout session with that of your friend.

The GPS function of this 201 model is disliked by a number of buyers because the signal can be fickle sometimes. In addition to that, they also tend to find fault with the discrepancies in functions such as altitude and pace readings. This unit does not have a heart rate monitor. Today, when many of the computer interfaces can work with a USB, this unit is behind the times with a serial port facility.

The wristband of the Forerunner 201 GPS Fitness Watch is adjustable, allowing you to flaunt the watch around your wrist or your upper arm as you choose. Its LCD display screen is easy to read in well-lit conditions as well as in the shadows. The rechargeable lithium alloy battery can remain charged for 14 hours before losing power. It seems to be quite alright for runners, but may not be quite adequate for biking, etc.

Overall, the Garmin Forerunner GPS 201 is a watch with a lot of benefits. The training Center software and the Virtual partner features warrant special mention. Ultimately, its patchy GPS signaling is its only flaw.
