Lots of Free MP3 songs downloads from Amazon
There are 550 plus songs that Amazon is giving as free mp3 downloads.
I sorted the result by release date and found that even future releases are available with the date. Instead of searching the web and doubting if the downloaded mp3s are legal, the Amazon free downloads is a good hassle free alternative. May be that all good numbers are available at Amazon for free.

Flying alarm clock for heavy sleepers - Princess PI-722
Flying alarm clock for $12 only - How many times you have felt that you are a heavy sleeper and feel alarm clock sucks ? Here is the innovative (or damn funny) alarm clock that flies and only way to stop it is to chase that fan and put it back on the base. The clock works simply enough: the base has a motor that spins the top part at a designated time, causing the top to fly up for a few seconds. It makes you to get out of bed is the idea behind this item. Hope that chasing this item we don't break things in our house.

For $15 "South Beach diet" slims a person upto thirteen pounds ?
South beach diet book & DVD for $15 - Its summer time to slim down and get into shape by shredding all that extra winter fat. I haven't tried South Beach diet myself but as website and Amazon reviews claims this dietary plan from Arthur Agatston begins with two-week program claiming to produce a weight loss of from eight to thirteen pounds. The mantra seems to be consumption of "good carbohydrates" and "good fats".
Wiki on SB quotes
"In 2004, Kraft Foods licensed the South Beach Diet trademark for use on a low-carb line of packaged foods called South Beach Diet."
Arthur Agatston calls the slim plan in three phases, Phase 1 is to relieve you of cravings for sugar and starches.In Phase 2, some of the banned food are slowly introduced while weight loss continue to around 1-2 pounds per week.Phase 3 is for maintenance and should be followed for life.
To loose pounds follow the phases and if required repeat the phases is what may Amazon reviewers and websites talk about this South beach diet program.
Here is the Amazon deal to get this diet deal - South Beach Book and Workout DVD for $15.57

$29.99 Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid
Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid - A 88% discounted item. Orig - $168 and now is available at $29.99.
Some Quickies
"The thick, sturdy aluminum heats up quickly and evenly, and goes from the stovetop to the oven up to any temperature.
As with all true Calphalon products, you can not put hard-anodized aluminum into the dishwasher. It will damage the surface, leading to pits and discolorations, and void the lifetime warranty to boot!
Second, this is not a nonstick pan. If you want nonstick, buy Calphalon Commercial Nonstick, the best ever made (The Commercial nonstick line has the more advanced LRS3 coating versus the much less effective LRS coating on the cheaper Professional Nonstick II line)."
"how thin it is or how easily food sticks to it or how hard it is to clean it"
"the finish wore off within a couple of months, and I was left with an ugly aluminum pan. I called Calphalon but they told me that if I didn't follow the cleaning instructions they wouldn't replace it."
"I've used it a few times now. My food has burned because it gets stuck to the bottom, even with medium heat, and the rest of the food isn't cooked."
"I) Use lower heat setting! Solid aluminum with hard anodized surface is the most efficient for heat transfer. It heats faster and cooks faster than clad, stainless or plastic coated non-stick (Teflon). Modify your cooking habits-try medium low setting first. Prove this to yourself by putting your pan on a cold burner with your hand in the pot. Turn on the burner and see how fast it heats. You'll be saving energy too.
II) Allow food to warm up a few minutes on the counter before cooking.
III) Keep pan clean. Check for uneven color on cooking surface. This is grease build up. It's easily removed with scouring powder which won't harm the h-anod. surface.
IV) Soak cooled pan prior to cleaning."
Overall item has many positive reviews and a stealing price. Only thing is to be careful about cleaning and stickiness of the item.

Is it worth buying HD-DVD player now ?
If you already own a HD-DVD player, I feel there is no rush to get rid of your player on eBay. If you don't own it then this is a good time to buy this player for the below reasons.One compelling reason - its a great upconverting dvd player at a bargain price.Everywhere you see the comparison of HD-DVD players to lost battle of Betamax to VHS which in my opinion is not correct. With Betamax there was no earlier formats and simply to put it no backward compatibility for its commercial success when that tapes format war ended. With HD-DVD players the scene is different it competes with all existing upconverting DVD players and fares well in the quality section.
Look at the prices of these players, you can get a HD-A2 player at Sam's club for now $68. [ Click here for $68 Toshiba DVD player - enter your zip code and pick up the player from your nearest store ]. This trend will make the demand go up for these players in upconverting players market and supply will become scarce in near future. I personally still waiting for Blu-Ray players prices to come down as after the announcement of HD-DVD format pull back announcement from Toshiba, a surge in demand for Blu-Ray players kept their prices intact with out any good bargain deals.
Also consider the already available 500 plus HD-DVD titles that makes a good collection. I recently bought Bourne trilogy - The Bourne Identity , The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum for deal price from Amazon. [ Click here for Bourne hd-dvd]. Keep looking for these HD-DVD prices to drop as low as $10 and at least until May of 2008 we can expect new releases which were already promised to release in HD-DVD.
There is one more great reason that it seems it is possible to burn HD content to a regular DVD-R discs . Once burnt you can play it as an HD movie on an HD-DVD player. I'm sure there are restrictions in the video length as DVD-R can support less of HD content. All my camcorder HD content can be burned this way to DVD-R as anyway they are short duration clips. I'll research more and write a post with step-by-step guide of burning HD content to DVD-R discs.

OBD II Check Engine Auto Scanner Trouble Code Reader
What is frustrating with old cars (> year 1996) ? I always get "Check Engine" light very often these days for my old 1998 second car and that makes me worry if there is any real problem with the car. Car manual says even if you don't tighten up the gas cap properly there is a possibility of getting check engine indicator. If I take it to my (Acura) dealer he tells 1001 problems with car and as usual repair costs go over $1K for the car which is worth $5K. I found this "OBD Check Engine Scanner" . If you have taken your vehicle for emission testing you will know by now that they use similar technology to read emission percentages.
Some of the product features:
* Works with all 1996 and newer cars & trucks that are OBD II compliant
* Reads and clears generic and manufacturer specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) and turns off check engine light
* Supports multiple trouble code requests: generic codes, pending codes and manufacturer's specific codes
* Stand-alone unit with no need for an additional laptop computer to operate
* Highly reliable and accurate, Easy-to-read crystal-clear backlit 2-line LCD display
This scanner is compatible all OBDII and EODBII compliant vehicles 1996 and newer. Please Note: may not be able to retrieve all codes on some VW, Audi, and Subaru cars. This scanner is not compatible with CAN protocol.

Christmas deals 2007 - Garmin nüvi 350, Movado Women's Amorosa Watch, Nikon D40 and Ottoman Set
1] --> Garmin nüvi 350 for 299.99 - An absolute must buy GPS in case you don't have one. Last year I bought Pharos GPS (PDR-135 I believe) in a cheap deal and I paid the price and learnt my life lesson that some items deserve the price for their brand power and for their quality. This portable unit falls under this "Super" category. One of my friend introduced me to this unit and he usually is a heavy travelling guy meaning walks on Newyork puzzle streets loooking for his clients business addresses and the same with rest of the US maps. He carries it in his pocket and sooo convenient I thought.I own a 660 version of Garmin which is bigger in screen and has bluetooth and FM transmitter with live traffic alerts capabilities.If you just need for quality maps go for this unit.
2]--> Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens - Looking to buy DSLR ?? Cannon and Nikon are reputed brands. I own Cannon Rebel Digital XTI with the default 18-55 mm lens.I got that for around 650$ this year in May.The price for this camera seems to be a good price if you are looking for DSLR cameras.I personally recommend dpreview.com site to check out various models to compare before you dive into decision of which model is right for the deal price.

Okay you must have got tired by now with all deal searching and this Ottoman set can make you hide all your deals and as well serve as chairs for congested places.

Philips AJL308 Digital Photo Frame Clock Radio for $50
Philips AJL308 Digital Frame Clock Radio for $50
What's the deal?
1. Clock + Radio + Digital Photo Frame in one unit
2. Priced at $50 which is 50% off as this usually goes for 99$
Reviews ??
Good: A clock with two independent alarms that also plays audio files (.mp3 and .wma), video (mpeg4 and divx codices) and photo slide shows (.jpg only). It has built-in "relaxation" sounds to help you fall asleep.
A firmware needs to be updated -- As one reviewer puts this update as "Philips posted a firmware update on their Web site on September 14, 2007, that fixes this issue. Visit the Philips Web site, type in "AJL308" to find the product page, select the Support link tab (just above and to the right of the product image), and scroll down to the Software section. There is a PDF read-me file and a ZIP file with the actual firmware update. Read the PDF and carefully follow its directions to update the firmware. You'll need a USB drive to transfer the firmware update to your AJL308, and it takes several minutes to complete the update, but once it's done the day of the week should be correct. "
Bad
Displays JPEG-format images only. For a widescreen 7" LCD picture frame, the resolution is only 480 x 234.In clock mode you can see only one deaflut picture meaning no slideshow.

Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote for $117
Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote
Why this is a hot deal ?
1] Pricegrabber price - $153
2] Amazon's price is $130 before rebates
3] No tax in most states (savings of 6% plus on taxes) and Free shipping.
4] 10% Rebate from Logitech
5] $117 is the Final Price
What about reviews?
BAD: 1] The remote does not sit comfortably on the cradle since the cradle is also the charger and if it doesn't sit precisely on it, it will not charge itself properly. If you can tap the table next to the remote and it will set it off charging.
2] The remote lags when pushed a button.
GOOD: 1]The keys are MUCH better located and logical.
2]Set up is programmed via the Harmony website. You need a good working knowledge of your devices and the functions you want the 880 to perform. But after this somewhat tedious process, the 880 performs beautifully.
3]It is rechargeable, which means no digging for batteries when it all of a sudden runs out.
4] This remote can control up to 15 devices, like for all the remote-controlled devices in home - all the tvs, TiVos, DVD players, Cable Boxes, and even the surround sound box thing.
You need to connect it to your PC with a USB cable to program it, and it is a snap. If you have the model numbers for your devices, which are usually found somewhere on the device itself, then it is a real no-brainer. Logitech had all of the devices give the setup program model numbers for in their database, and it will quickly set those up. If you couldn't find the model number give the manufacturer name, and if you have remote for that device then you need to push a few specific buttons on the device's remote so it could learn it, and it will figure out the best model match for that device within few minutes.

Amazon has Xbox 360 HD DVD Player for $130 -- the lowest price ever
Amazon has Xbox 360 HD DVD Player $130 with free shipping and no tax.
Click me for $130 XBOX HD-DVD Deal
First time I heard and showed inclination to buy HD DVD player is when Wlamart had secret black friday like sale a month ago by marking down the price of Toshiba HD DVD players for around 200$.But now the most affordable high-definition player available, the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player is the best solution for movie lovers seeking HD content in the highest possible resolution, this promotion ($129) makes the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player one of the most compelling offerings for consumers looking to make the leap into HD this holiday season.
Microsoft claims the Xbox 360 HD DVD player is now the cheapest high definition player available, following the recent price reductions.
Xbox 360 HD DVD Player benefits [From Microsoft]
•Stunning video and immersive surround-sound audio with up to six times better resolution than a standard DVD
•Innovative interactive content that enables PIP commentary, scene selection, and menu access when you watch movies
•Only HD DVD offers the 'combo' disc that lets you play the DVD on your existing DVD players in your home or in your car
•Enjoy hundreds of great HD DVD movies from major studios such as Universal, Warner, Paramount, Studio Canal, and more
PS3 comes equipped with the HDMI output option, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player allows only for either component or VGA output via the Xbox 360 itself.The bottom line: The Xbox 360 HD DVD player is an inexpensive way for 360 owners to get high-def movies, but nonowners and audiophiles should stick with standalone HD players.
Toshiba HD DVD Players vs XBOX HD DVD
Previously exclusive to Toshiba HD DVD Players, with the purchase of an Xbox 360 HD DVD Player at the new low price of $179, choose five HD DVD titles free from a selection of 15 popular titles through a mail-in offer. Comparing the Xbox 360 add-on to the Toshiba unit showed that the Xbox 360 unit was capable of some very good visuals, even considering it is using only component cables versus the HDMI hookup of the Toshiba. The Toshiba is essentially a Pentium 4 computer, where the Xbox 360 runs on a PowerPC core.

Price drop Canon Rebel XTi DSLR Packages - $550 for body & $618 for kit - free Shipping from Amazon
What's nice buying from Amazon ? No taxes and free shipping.
What's even more sweeter deal is if Amazon drops price on hight ticketed items like DSLRS. This is the deal to pound on - A Canon Rebel XTi DSLR Packages - $550 for body & $618 for kit (Kit includes default lenses)
Click me for Canon Rebel XTi DSLR Packages - $550 for body & $618 for kit
Silver body - $549.67
Silver kit - $617.93
Black body - $549.94
Black kit- $628.11
A DSLR camera gives great pictures at high ISO's , meaning the higher the ISO,the more sensitive the sensor is to light which means that you can take pictures in low light situations that you wouldn't be able to get with a P&S. If you are taking pictures outside then that's usually not a big deal. If you are taking indoor pictures like weddings, parties, family pics, sports, school events , then DSLRs can be very important.
If you are interested here is my review on this camera that I own.

If you are taking pictures outside then that's usually not a big deal. If you are taking indoor pictures like weddings, parties, family pics, sports, school events , then DSLRs can be very important.
If you are interested here is my review on this camera that I own.

Buying Toys for the Baby
Initially the mistake we made in choosing the toys for our baby is to go all by our self (myself and the wife) to buy toys that we like.We ended up most of the times in choosing the wrong toys. Believe me we thought it is as simple as to go buy toys and we learnt it hard way that we are not helping ourself and our baby in choosing the right playable toys.Call this as our inexperience with toys and all that first baby learning mistakes.
Now What we usually do is take our child to a toy store for her to play with a toy before buying it, Most of the times (70%) this works.This provides a good opportunity to observe your child playing with different toys.See what interests your baby. Watch to see whether he/she has an inkling about how to use the toy. If he/she does, go ahead and buy it.
Also when you visit your friends who has babies of same age as your child , this socializing is good opportunity to see what friends toys your baby likes.
Basing on all these now it is time for you to call the shots on what to buy for your baby.
There are thousands of toys and toys stores to choose, and that's just in the newborn and infant section. one cannot buy all the toy store and more over it is unnecessary to create too much junk in the house, over time build some criteria to narrow it to your child needs.This is a bumpy road and will take some time but every one kind of gets a feel of what baby likes and dislikes. Just not limit your baby to only one set of toys make her toys diversified that eventually helps her/him grow.
