The Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer
In perhaps the most important parenting book of the decade, Dr. Harvey Karp reveals an extraordinary treasure sought by parents for centuries –an automatic “off-switch” for their baby’s crying.

No wonder pediatricians across the country are praising him and thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Pierce Brosnan, have turned to him to learn the secrets for making babies happy.

Never again will parents have to stand by helpless and frazzled while their poor baby cries and cries. Dr. Karp has found there IS a remedy for colic. “I share with parents techniques known only to the most gifted baby soothers throughout history …and I explain exactly how they work.”

In a innovative and thought-provoking reevaluation of early infancy, Dr. Karp blends modern science and ancient wisdom to prove that newborns are not fully ready for the world when they are born. Through his research and experience, he has developed four basic principles that are crucial for understanding babies as well as improving their sleep and soothing their senses:

?The Missing Fourth Trimester: as odd as it may sound, one of the main reasons babies cry is because they are born three months too soon.

?The Calming Reflex: the automatic reset switch to stop crying of any baby in the first few months of life.

?The 5 “S’s”: the simple steps (swaddling, side/stomach position, shushing, swinging and sucking) that trigger the calming reflex. For centuries, parents have tried these methods only to fail because, as with a knee reflex, the calming reflex only works when it is triggered in precisely the right way. Unlike other books that merely list these techniques Dr. Karp teaches parents exactly how to do them, to guide cranky infants to calm and easy babies to serenity in minutes…and help them sleep longer too.

?The Cuddle Cure: the perfect mix the 5 “S’s” that can soothe even the most colicky of infants.

In the book, Dr. Karp also explains:

What is colic?

Why do most babies get much more upset in the evening?

How can a parent calm a baby–in mere minutes?

Can babies be spoiled?

When should a parent of a crying baby call the doctor?

How can a parent get their baby to sleep a few hours longer?

Even the most loving moms and dads sometimes feel pushed to the breaking point by their infant’s persistent cries. Coming to the rescue, however, Dr. Karp places in the hands of parents, grandparents, and all childcare givers the tools they need to be able to calm their babies almost as easily as…turning off a light.

Customer Review: This book made all the difference for us!
Now that we’re expecting #2 and I’m back in the baby section, I happened across the listing for this book and felt compelled to write because this book really had a positive impact on us with our first. I learned early on in my first pregnancy that there is WAY TOO MUCH information out there and if you read long enough (books, blogs, mags, etc) you’ll find both an author who agrees completely with you and an author who is at total odds with you. Sanity came for me when I allowed myself to remember that I am a fairly intelligent person and that I should trust more of my own judgement and instinct - even if this was our first child. Anyway, this book, to me, just made sense. The author talks about a “4th trimester” during which your newborn adjusts to his new surroundings. Compare the environment a newborn leaves when he’s born: a loud, motion filled, warm and very snug home listening to Mom all day long - to what he’s usually delivered in to (especially a first child): a quiet, still, very open environment. How would you react to such a drastic change! If nothing else, learn the way to properly swaddle - I promise you will be glad you did. And best wishes to your new bundle of joy!!
Customer Review: A must-have for parents!
As a mother with a colicky baby…this book was a blessing. I highly recommend it and will be giving it to all new parents!

Customer Review: Jacket review
It’s currently the middle of winter here in the White Mountains. I purchased this for summer riding, so I haven’t been able to utilize it yey. However, I’ve tried the jacket on and it fits and feels light. Just what I was looking for! I’m very satisfied with the quality. I’ve been searching for one of these, without success, at many of the Harley Davidson stores around the Phoenix area.

Sleeping Beauty (Special Edition)
Disney’s 1959 animated effort was the studio’s most ambitious to date, a widescreen spectacle boasting a gorgeous waltz-filled score adapting Tchaikovsky. In the 14th century, the malevolent Maleficent (not dissimilar to the wicked Queen in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) taunts a king that his infant Aurora will fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love. Things almost but not quite turn out that way, thanks to the assistance of some bubbly, bumbling fairies named Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. It’s not really all that much about the title character–how interesting can someone in the middle of a long nap be, anyway? Instead, those fairies carry the day, as well as, of course, good Prince Phillip, whose battle with the malevolent Maleficent in the guise of a dragon has been co-opted by any number of animated films since. See it in its original glory here. And Malificent’s castle, filled with warthogs and demonic imps in a macabre dance celebrating their evil ways, manages a certain creepy grandeur. –David Kronke
Customer Review: Not one of my fave Disney films
For some reason, and I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’m really not into Sleeping Beauty. I adore Disney movies and have seen pretty much every one, with the exception of a couple. This does not rank high on my list. The story never really interested me, the music was just OK. It came as a bit old fashioned for me. That said, It’s certainly not a bad movie by any means, just not as enjoyable as some of the other brilliant ones out there.
Customer Review: Major Rip-Off
The DVD arrived in a timely fashion. However, it was cracked on the bottom of the DVD and was, therefore, unreadable by my DVD player. When I initially complained, I was promised another copy of Sleeping Beauty. Weeks have gone past and I never got the replacement copy. I then contacted both the vendor and Amazon and, now, over a month later — still no replacement and no word. If you want to avoid being ripped off, I would seriously avoid this vendor.

CLIF Kid ZBaR, Variety Pack of Peanut Butter, Chocolate Brownie, and Chocolate Chip, 1.27-Ounce Bars (Pack of 48)
Customer Review: Great for Kids and Adults
Gotta love Clif Kid Bars. This variety pack is a definitely a good bargain and I enjoy all the flavors. They’re not just for kids — adults like em just as much. Wonderful taste and relatively low in calories. Always eat one a day between lunch and dinner as a quick nutritious snack that beats having a candy bar, potato chips, etc.

Customer Review: Healthy, loved and a good value…
I guess the most important thing to start with is - my kids LOVE Z-Bars. They were introduced to these early and as far as they know, this is what granola/snack bars are. They find other, more sugar-laden, bars a little too much. I was pleasantly surprised to find this and am more than happy to ply them with this healthier alternative.

These are a great tasty snack and pretty portable. They only suffer in the hot weather when they get a melty. Otherwise, they hold the kids over from 10AM to lunch on most days. Also, the 140 calories makes them a nice snack for adults too when you’re not up for a 200+ calorie bar.

I guess it’s important to note the price as well. The value is great (especially if you subscribe) for a this amount of bars.

But, I repeat, the kids LOVE them - 5-stars!

Sony 2500 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, 4-pack
SONY NH-AA-B4E RECHARGEABLE NIMH BATTERY BLISTER MULTIPACK (AA 4-PK) LONG LASTING; IDEAL FOR ALL DIGITAL DEVICES; AA; 4-PK

Customer Review: Back in business again.
I have tried several different brands of batteries for my Sony digital camera and they were just not holding up very long, especially when I would use the flash. For a while I thought my camera was defective, so when everything else fails, read the manual. Of course Sony will recommend their own line of batteries so I purchased this item to see how they worked. They are great!

The camera now works like it did when brand new. I have not kept track of how many images I can take before I need to change batteries, but I would say that it is at the maximum as listed in the owner’s manual.

Customer Review: Oh yeah….
I bought these batteries on the recommendation of people who use them for flash units in photography, which is what I wanted to use these for. They work great. They hold charge well. Money well spent.

Zoolander (Special Collector’s Edition)
Charge your micro-mini cell phones and whip up some orange mocha Frappuccino, ‘cuz Zoolander is on the runway, and you’re gonna laugh your booty off! Based on a sketch created by writer-director Ben Stiller and cowriter Drake Sather for the 1996 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, Zoolander is a delirious send-up of New York’s fashion scene as epitomized by male model Derek Zoolander (Stiller), a dimwitted preener who’s oblivious to a Manchurian Candidate-like plot to turn him into a brainwashed assassin. Tipped off by a reporter (Christina Taylor), Zoolander teams with rival model Hansel (Owen Wilson) to foil the poodle-haired fashion designer (Will Ferrell) who’s behind the nefarious scheme. The goofy plot’s only half the fun; with roles for Stiller’s parents (Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara), dozens of celebrity cameos, endlessly quotable dialogue, and improvisational energy to spare, Zoolander is very smart about being very stupid, easily matching the Austin Powers franchise for inspired comedic lunacy. –Jeff Shannon
Customer Review: Absurd and Hilarious
With preening self-importance and pouty narcissism already baked into the industry’s DNA - torturing couture fashion almost certainly lacks an element of good sportsmanship. Fashion has always been a satirists Pi?ata party so I was pleased that Zoolander went well beyond the clich?d “dumb model” premise to focus on the countless small affectations that make fashionistas well, fashionistas. From the first scene where the shadowed, dimly recognizable outlines of fashion icons Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour and Donna Karan conspire to assassinate the Malaysian prime minister (whose new government threatens to outlaw clothing sweatshops) it is clear that the producers will gore every detail in the search for gut-busting comedy. Yes, Ben Stiller (Zoolander) and Owen Wilson (Hansel) are terrific as the vacuous supermodel savants who become unwittingly enlisted in the assassination plot - but, it is Will Ferrell and Ben’s father, Jerry Stiller who steal the show. As an actor, Ferrell’s trademark has been a glowering self-absorption that makes even his bad films worth the effort. As fashion-scion, “Mugatu” (”a defrocked member of `80s club band, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and inventor of the piano tie.”) he is clearly at the top of his game and caused more than one of my friends to spit their drinks when he came on screen. His performance is classic and alone justifies the cost of the DVD. Finally, there’s Jerry Stiller - wrapped in a designer jogging suit and 50 years of borscht belt shtick - Jerry’s turn as “Balls” Model Agency Owner, Maury Ballstein is so Catskills lowbrow that not laughing is just not possible. Just a fun movie - highly recommended.

Dichroic art glass jewelry set, ‘Turquoise Pyramid’ 16.5″ L
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Pre-Hispanic monuments inspire these sleek pyramids. Set in sterling silver, they hold mesmerizing shades of blue and green. Debora and Marco craft the design in dichroic art glass to create original earrings and a pendant in stainless steel threads. .925 rating silver. Each jewelry set is meticulously crafted by hand, thus no two will ever be exactly identical in color and pattern. Artisan Info: “Hello, we are Debora and Marco and we met while doing research on glass. Debora is from Argentina. After finishing a degree in art, she decided to widen her horizons and that road brought her to Mexico where we met each other,” says jewelry artisan Marco. “I studied veterinary medicine. After several successful professional activities that benefited society with practice and technical knowledge, I was attracted to art. So we both began researching the art of glass, both with the same restlessness and both destined to join forces as we dominated the technique of dichroic glass.” Dichroic glass is an ultra-thin coating of metal oxides and quartz, grown as a crystal structure on the surface using a highly technical vacuum deposition process. Originally produced for the aerospace industry, it now provides a medium for Debora and Marco’s fused glass jewelry. “First we began making sculptures

Customer Review: Better to have a PC
This product is best for a PC user. My MAC OS X does not interface well. The functionality and clarity of display are very good.
Customer Review: Terrific digital frame!
I received the Fidelity Digital Picture Frame for my birthday recently. I absolutely love it! This frame includes 256 MB internal memory, which is huge when compared to other digital frames. You can upload a lot of photos to it without the need for a memory card. You can also use a USB Flash Drive which is convenient. The frame also accepts most camera memory cards. The image is vibrant and it’s easy to operate. I have an Olympus Stylus 800 and a Canon digital Rebel XT. Photos taken with the Olympus are absolutely perfect for this frame because the aspect ratio is exactly the same so your photos fill the entire frame without leaving any dark spaces. Photos taken with the Canon leave a dark space above and below the photo but still looks pretty good.

Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition)
The come-from-behind winner of the 1981 Oscar for best picture, Chariots of Fire either strikes you as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or as a tale of true determination and inspiration. The heroes are an unlikely pair of young athletes who ran for Great Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics: devout Protestant Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a divinity student whose running makes him feel closer to God, and Jewish Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), a highly competitive Cambridge student who has to surmount the institutional hurdles of class prejudice and anti-Semitism. There’s delicious support from Ian Holm (as Abrahams’s coach) and John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson as a couple of Cambridge fogies. Vangelis’s soaring synthesized score, which seemed to be everywhere in the early 1980s, also won an Oscar. Chariots of Fire was the debut film of British television commercial director Hugh Hudson (Greystoke) and was produced by David Puttnam. –Jim Emerson

Customer Review: Believe us…
Please believe us that this DVD advertised as “widescreen” is indeed just the full screen with the top and bottom cut off to make it look widescreen. Very false advertising. The movie is, of course, one of the best ever made - especially about sport. This version, however, is not satisfactory!

Customer Review: Be Warned: This DVD is NOT a true wide-screen!
My God. They created this wide-screen version of “Chariots of Fire, Two Disk Special Edition” by chopping off the top and bottom (or just the bottom) of the old full-screen version of the same title. In other words, the old full-screen version has more screen to watch.

I don’t think they even bothered to remaster this from the original tape, because the old full screen version is actually sharper on my monitor screen than this wide screen version if I watch them side by side. So, I’m giving one star for this their shady business, even though I believe that the film itself is one of the best films ever made. Let’s hope that they will do it right for Blu-ray version, assuming that someone will publish a Blue-ray version.
