Our dogs are alone most days as my wife and I both work. We long ago got into the habit of leaving music on for them, even though they long ago got over being anxious when alone. But when they like the music, we can tell by their demeanor when we return.
This CD is wonderful! They love it, it totally relaxes them while they're home alone. They even make sure to "remind" us if we appear to be leaving without turning it on, they sit by the player and beg for it!
We have tried a few different products, and this is one of the best. We have even fallen asleep ourselves, while listening.
You can't do much better, I highly suggest it.Get more detail about Through a Dog's Ear: Music to Calm Your Canine Companion, Volume 1.

I used iGuidance 1.0 for the Pocket PC for over 4 years before I got the Garmin nüvi 360. I loved the iGuidance but the Garmin nüvi 360 blew me away!

Accuracy
--------
The nüvi is very accurate; it has yet to fail to bring me to my destination. However, I've encountered a few instances where an address or road wasn't in the nüvi database - and I have the most current (2009) maps. In such cases, your best bet would be to simply enter an adjacent or nearby location into the nüvi.

Directions
----------
The software lets you know how far ahead your next turn is when you're within between about .1 to .5 miles. It says something like "In .1 miles, turn left onto Broadway" and a few hundred feet before your turn, it omits the information on the distance before your turn and simply says "Turn left onto Broadway." I wish it used feet instead of miles when specifying distances .2 mile (1056 ft) or less but it's a minor complaint.

The software gives you the directions for two successive turns that are very close together (say, 300 feet apart) all at once to make sure you have ample time to respond to the second turn that immediately follows the first. For example, "Take exit 70, then keep left", or "Turn right, then immediately turn left."

However, it may occasionally notify you of a turn a little late, which results in you missing the turn. Thankfully, this doesn't happen very often. If you do miss a turn, however, the software recalculates a new route very quickly (within a couple of seconds)!

Auto-Off/Resume Function
------------------------
My Garmin is a permanent fixture in my car. I leave the car adapter permanently hooked up to the unit. What I really love about it is it automatically turns off when the external power supply is lost. What this translates to is whenever I turn off my car engine, the unit automatically shuts itself off. When I start my car, the unit automatically fires back up. It gets better - it remembers your set destination when it turns back on and resumes giving you directions to your destination. This feature is handy for when I need to fill up on gas midway to a destination. After I'm done filling up my tank, I start my car, at which point the GPS unit fires back up and immediately resumes giving me directions to my destination. Very cool! This makes the Garmin nüvi the perfect In-Car GPS solution!

Data Entry
----------
The keys for entering addresses into the nüvi are arranged alphabetically from A-Z, not in a QWERTY format. Personally, I find the tedium of having to hunt for letters in the A-Z format a real inconvenience and annoyance!

Lock It
-------
You can lock your nüvi with a 4-digit PIN. The package comes with 2 decals that state that your GPS unit is secured with a security code to deter would-be thieves from stealing the unit.

Text-To-Speech
--------------
The text to speech still sounds like it comes from a synthesized voice but it's perfectly intelligible.


Multi-Point Routing
-------------------
Even though Multi-Point Routing is NOT an intended feature on the nüvi 360, it doesn't mean the nüvi isn't _capable_ of Multi-Point Routing. Here's how it's accomplished: Say, you want to go from point A to point D via point B and point C.

(i) You want to first set the destination to point D.

(ii) Then, once again, you set the destination a second time, this time to point C. You will receive the following prompt from the software asking "Insert as via point?", which essentially means: Do you want to overwrite the destination you've set in step (i), i.e. the point D destination or do you want to go to point D VIA point C. Answer YES.

(iii) Yet again, set the destination a third time to point B. Answer YES when prompted whether you want to "Insert as via point?"

There you have it, the nüvi is going to take you from point A to point D VIA points B and C. It's a clumsy roundabout way of getting the nüvi 360 to do Multi-Point Routing, but it can be done.


Nice Extras
-----------
- SD card Slot
Since the unit can serve as an MP3 Player and a photo viewer, it has an SD card slot allows you to load mp3 and photos (JPEG) onto the unit.

- MP3 Player
The MP3 Player is very basic. It has shuffle and repeat track/playlist. The unit will only read mp3 files in the root directory of the SD card; it will not read mp3 files that are in a folder. It will, however, read playlist (pls) files, which can have their source from one or more folders / sub folders. There are other limitations to the mp3 player:
(i) you cannot delete tracks
(ii) you cannot arrange/edit your playlists

To edit/delete your tracks or playlists, you will need to do so in your computer, mobile device, or music device.

- Picture Viewer
You can load your photos via the SD card slot and view it on the screen.

- Bluetooth Phone Hookup
I'm, unfortunately, still using a cell phone that's doesn't have Bluetooth (it's one of those antiquated phones reminiscent of the cell phones from the 90's) so I'm unable to test this feature. But I'm able to tell you it's a feature that allows you to hook up your phone to the GPS unit via Bluetooth so you can use the GPS unit as a handsfree console. Now, that's pretty nifty.

Conclusion
----------
The Garmin nüvi 360 is a very affordable In-Car GPS Solution. Apart from the cumbersome interface (A-Z keys) for entering your destination, I really don't have very much else to complain about it. Highly recommended!

I travel frequently for business and personal reasons and often bring my HP Pavilion dv9823cl 17" widescreen computer with me. My large computer doesn't fit in a standard-size backpack. So when I fly and carry on my luggage, I end up with three bags - a backpack with my purse and electronic items inside, a computer sleeve with handles, and a suitcase - one too many items to comply with carry-on rules. Sometimes the airline and airport staff make a big deal about this. I wanted a new backpack that would fit my computer AND my purse contents AND my electronic items like chargers AND some magazines AND my snacks AND will fit under the airplane seat in front of me. So far, this bag looks like it will work!

I like the color (black with yellow trim) because it's conservative enough for business, hides dirt, and still stands out from all-black generic stuff. I like the design because it's low-profile on my back and doesn't stick out too far like my old backpack did. It does make me look like a turtle, but then again all backpacks make people kind of look like turtles. I was hesitant about the backwards opening that makes it more secure because I had never seen a design like that before. Although it makes it a little more difficult to slide my computer in and out because I have to maneuver the computer through the straps to get to the pocket, it is a small price to pay for security. The main compartment where the computer goes opens wide but not wide enough to where everything falls out. By "everything" I mean the two large mesh zip bags that are included and Velcro-ed in place in the main compartment. I use those bags to store my full-size mouse and chargers (for cell phone, cell phone earbud, digital camera, computer) and valuables (wallet, cell phone, digital camera, GPS). I can also put one or two Eagle Pack-It tubes (full size or half size) inside before zipping up the compartment. There's still a little more room for two stuffed small Ziplocs for my travel-size liquids and snacks, a magazine or two, and maybe a bottle of water and a scarf. The bag feels well placed on my back, as other reviewers have said. However, it hangs low because I am a petite 5'2". But it is not uncomfortable. In addition, the carry handle on top is sturdy and thick, which is important because when fully loaded my bag feels like it weighs at least 10 lbs, maybe even 20 lbs, and I frequently hang it from hooks in bathroom stalls when traveling. I don't use the little pocket for the MP3 player.

I have yet to test whether it will fit under the airplane seat in front of me, but I am already sold on this backpack. My previous backpack, an REI Big Byte, served me well for 10 years, but with my huge computer, I needed a different backpack. The Mobile Edge SecurePack looks like it's the one!Get more detail about Mobile Edge SecurePack 17-Inch Backpack (Black/Yellow).

As mentioned in other reviews, it worked right out of the box! I just purchased that doesn't have parallel ports (none of the new ones do) and was concerned I'd have to scrap my 10-year-old HP LaserJet workhorse (they go on forever). Even the savvy PC mavens who built my computer said I'd have to scrap it. Thanks to few minutes of online research and this wonderful Iogear GUC1284B USB to Parallel Adapter, I'm ecstatic! After agonizing with the joys of the blister package, I plugged the parallel end of the cable to my printer and USB end to my computer -- selected a printer driver in Windows and..amazingly...printed a test page faster than I'm used to with my HP. Though the Iogear comes with a drive disc, it's not needed for Windows 2000 & XP...just "plug & play."

Few solution products have done precisely what they're intended to do without hassle, if they work at all; but this wonderful adapter is perfect...for less than 20 bucks! Highly recommended!Get more detail about Iogear GUC1284B USB to Parallel Adapter.

We have a toddler and an infant. On the day this book arrived at our house, we were having an extremely difficult time. My toddler was hitting our brand new baby and poking his eyes!

Prior to buying these CDs, my husband and I used the 2-CD set, "Speaking French with Michel Thomas." We learned a lot quickly from those CDs, but wanted to learn more. So, we purchased the Instant Immersion French set. This has to be one of the worst purchases I have ever made! It is very difficult to determine what the people on the CD are saying, and the tasks are unclear. There is no guide book to help you along.

I'm going to purchase the full Michel Thomas set now, and highly recommend his method of teaching over this set of CDs.Get more detail about Instant Immersion French.

This is a very high quality leather case with good hardware. My laptop fits well and it has a place for almost everything. The almost is a limited amount of space to carry the computer power supply and cords. There isn't a pocket deep enough to carry those items without causing the outside to bulge. The velcro flap fastners are noisey and overdone. A few snaps would have been much better. Other than that the quality is first rate.Get more detail about Targus CLN5 15.4 Traditional Leather Notebook Case.

Listen...It works GREAT for a FEW months then...it completely fails to be read by any computer. Years worth of pictures and business documents were transferred to it are now GONE!! ...and they want to charge me 600-2400 dollars to see if they can fix it. I should have learned my lesson with the first one that went bad too. It would be nice if they would warn you that their product is severely faulty.

My Favorite Places From A to Z is a delightful children's ABC picturebook. Every letter of the alphabet represents a different wonderful or special place, which is described in a poem by author and mother Peggy Snow, and vividly illustrated in an exaggerated, cartoony style by professional artist Brian Barber. A joy to read aloud and share with little ones. "D d: Dance Studio / At the dance studio, I stretch and pose. / I see myself in mirrors from my head to my toes. / Wearing pink ballet shoes, I glide across the floor, / Trying to remember everything I learned before. / Watch how I leap. See how I whirl. / Like a leaf in the wind, I flutter and twirl."Get more detail about My Favorite Places from A to Z (My Favorites).

I am a second grade teacher and I have to say that "Funky Phonics and more, vol. 1" really livens up my classroom, every year!

Favorite tunes include "The Vowel Song", "The Animal Song", "Telling Time" and "Androide".

I would say that "Funky Phonics" is really a Reading Readiness kit which also introduces phonics through song. Lots of the songs are action packed.

For example, when we are singing "The Vowel Song", I make giant flash cards for the kids and each child gets a chance to be one of the vowels. Then as we are singing about each vowel, the child proudly gets a chance to pop up and show off his letter.

"The Animal Song" is great. It's much more that an alphabet song. It introduces a new animal for every single letter of the alphabet and teaches an interesting fact about each of the animals too!

"Telling Time" is wonderful because not only does it each kids how to tell time, it reviews skip counting in 5's because after all, this is often the way we tell time.....ie..10:05, 10:10 or 10:15.

"The Androide Song" is an interesting approach to telling time. The kids love to hear the Androide sing about time and his daily race through the fast lane of life.

Of course, other interesting songs, such as "Days of the Week", which teaches how the days were named after the planets, and "Who's Going to Save Us Now?" a great environmental tune, really spice up other curriculum units.

Whether for home use or in the classroom, I hope you'll be as excited and pleased with "Funky Phonics and more Vol. 1" as I am.Get more detail about Reading Readiness Songs: Funky Phonics (Songs That Teach Language Arts) (v. 1).

This is a great compilation of most of at least the less-obscure Buddy Holly songs. I really like it. However, being more of a casual fan than a hard core collector, it was almost a little too much material for me. The first disk contains three cuts from the original "Buddy and Bob" blue-grass-style group, which are mostly "interesting" for their novelty and historical value. The rest of the first disk contains primarily Buddy doing Elvis-style-knockoff songs that don't sound much like Buddy's later signature style. (Buddy admired Elvis, and many of Buddy's earlier songs tried to emulate Elvis.) From my personal viewpoint, the one truly classic Holly song on the first disk, "That'll Be the Day", could have been moved to the second disk, and the first disk eliminated. For a somewhat-serious collector this is a must-have. For someone looking for a Buddy Holley collection to listen to in their car while traveling, etc. there is maybe a little too much filler material. This consideration aside, many of the songs still sound fresh and original after 50 years. It would be a travesty to give this work by the legendary Buddy Holly anything less than 4 stars, even considering the filler material.Get more detail about HOLLY,BUDDY - MEMORIAL COLLECTION (DIG) (SLIP).

I was shocked after receiving this to see that when Sophie is angry she copes with her anger by running and running and running until she feels better. The pictures show her running alone into what looks like a forest. Then she goes by a big lake and sits in a big tree, again all alone. When she finally feels better she walks home. It appears that she's gone far away on her journey. She is a young girl and certainly this is not what you want your child to do. I wish they'd said she goes in the back yard and runs or that she goes in her room and takes herself away through visualization to these places.
