Product Description Tribute
Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley is a long way from Hollywood. And that’s exactly how Cilla McGowan wants it. Cilla, a former child star who has found more satisfying work as a restorer of old houses, has come to her grandmother’s farmhouse, tools at her side, to rescue it from ruin. Sadly, no one was able to save her grandmother, the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with a tumultuous life, Janet entertained glamorous guests and engaged in decadent affairs—but died of an overdose in this very house more than thirty years earlier. To this day, Janet haunts Cilla’s dreams. And during waking hours, Cilla is haunted by her melodramatic, five-times-married mother, who carried on in the public spotlight and never gave her a chance at a normal childhood. By coming east, rolling up her sleeves, and rehabbing this wreck of a house, Cilla intends to find some kind of normalcy for herself.Plunging into the project with gusto, she’s almost too busy to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer—but his lanky form, green eyes, and easy, unflappable humor (not to mention his delightfully ugly dog, Spock) are hard to ignore. Determined not to perpetuate the family tradition of ill-fated romances, Cilla steels herself against Ford’s quirky charm, but she can’t help indulging in a little fantasy.But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla. In the attic, she has found a cache of unsigned letters suggesting that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she died—and that the father was a local married man. Cilla can’t help but wonder what really happened all those years ago. The mystery only deepens with a series of intimidating acts and a frightening, violent assault. And if Cilla and Ford are unable to sort out who is targeting her and why, she may—like her world-famous grandmother— be cut down in the prime of her life.

Editorial Reviews Tribute
From Publishers Weekly Roberts sets her underwhelming latest in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, where former child star Cilla McGowan rehabs her famous grandmother's long-neglected farm. Cilla's movie-star grandmother, the Marilyn Monroe–like Janet Hardy, who died mysteriously on the farm at age 39, haunts Cilla as she transforms the former hideaway of the rich and famous into habitable living space and tries to resolve whether Janet committed suicide or was murdered. While cleaning out the attic, Cilla unearths a collection of unsigned love letters to Janet from a local suitor, which adds spice to the puzzle of Janet's death. Meanwhile, Cilla's hunky graphic novelist neighbor, Ford Sawyer, provides the requisite sizzle and encourages Cilla to follow her dream of becoming a top-notch building contractor—much to the dismay of Cilla's headline-hungry diva mother. Amid the demolition and sheet rocking, Cilla comes up against a disgruntled local, and a series of unnerving threats and occurrences (vandalism, torched Cilla dolls) almost unhinges Cilla. The terror tactics (and the revelation of who is behind them) are half-baked and distract from what's ostensibly a girl meets boy, boy wants girl, girl finally wants boy story.

Customer Reviews Tribute
Love Roberts, Liked the Book I love Nora Roberts and have been reading her books for probably a dozen years. Although she didn't cover any new ground in this book, that's fine with me because I enjoyed the characters of Cilla and Ford. I always love the focus on family relationships in Roberts' books, and she definitely created a character with Spock! My only dislike of the story was how hurried it was in the end - the sweet relationship between Cilla and Ford came to a screeching halt and all of a sudden there was a twist and an unexpected bad guy...and this didn't ring true to me or to the story line. However (and this could just be me), I enjoyed the book overall - it was just the last 30 or so pages that disappointed me.
Delightful! Delightful is the only way I know to describe this book, and the delight is in the two main characters. In a role reversal, the hero is the laid-back, more passive character and the heroine is the driving force. This is not to imply that he's a wimp and she's a harridan but more that he's not the typical over-protective "I can do anything" man and she's not the "oh, please, save me" woman. The plot is not particularly original, but the male/female relationship saves the day. I loved it!
Couldn't stop reading... Nora Roberts has done it again. This is one you should not start until you have time to finish it.

Editorial Reviews The Host: A Novel
Amazon.com Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal romance into alien territory in her first adult novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion. A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing. Readers intrigued by this familiar-yet-alien world will gleefully note that the story's end leaves the door open for a sequel--or another series. --Mari Malcolm
About the Author Stephenie Meyer graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English literature. After the publication of her debut novel, Twilight, booksellers chose her as one of the "most promising new authors of 2005" (Publishers Weekly).

Customer Reviews The Host: A Novel
A review for those wondering I think The Host was an amazing novel.I was skeptical to read it at first because it was science-fiction, and so debated buying it. I love The Twilight series though and so decided I would read it.I just recently finished it and found it incredible.I find it to be just as-if not more than-great as The Twilight novels.If you are pondering whether or not to buy this due to it's genre classification, I definitely encourage you to read it.
I want my 2 weeks back! I loved the idea behind this book it instantly drew me in. Then it dragged and then it dragged some more. The plot had holes the size of Chicxulub crater. My girlfriend gave this to me while she finished twilight. She raves about twilight but I don't think ill be reading it. By the end of the story I honestly didn't care about any of the characters and I was just hoping the last 100 pages or so were blank.
Couldn't put it down When I started this book, I didn't think I would rate as one of my favorites. I was so wrong. The first few chapters, I wasn't clear where this story was heading and I was a little bored, but they are very important chapters for setting in your mind the information (the occurences and emotional climate of the characters) that is needed through the rest of the book. Chapter 4 is where I was hooked as the story began to unfold and then you just can't stop reading. I LOVED IT!

Customer Reviews
Solid performance, but... I've had no performance problems so far; it's relatively fast. However, while the drive is Mac compatible, it isn't automatically so, out of the box. I had to hunt through the support pages at the Iomega site to find instructions on how to repartition for Mac compatibility. It's not brand new on the market; I'd have though Iomega might have included info about repartitioning for Mac by now.
Defective When i got my external hardrive I was excited to use it right away, after one session of uploading photos, videos, and word documents I properly ejected, shut off, and removed the USB port. next time I tried to use it, the light wouldn't come on, and the file icon would not show up on my computer. Now i cannot acces anything on my external. How would i go about using the warranty on this product without getting all my files erased? -Rick
excellent product, great performance, It does make a little of a blowing noise like some of the review state but is due to the 7200RPM and all I need it was storage and this product definitively have that. Really, it don't interfere with a movie viewing because you can always place it on the floor or away from your location. Very satisfied with it, that might buy another one.

Fun for both kids and adults, Blokus is a strategy board game that challenges spatial thinking. Bright colors and simple rules make it ideal for ages five and up, but adults will certainly be engrossed by this unique and challenging game.
Not Your Average Board GameBlokus encourages creative thinking and has received a Mensa award for promoting healthy brain activity. The goal of this game is for players to fit all of their pieces onto the board. When placing a piece it may not lie adjacent to the player's other pieces, but must be placed touching at least one corner of their pieces already on the board. The player who gets rid of all of their tiles first is the winner and strategic thinking helps as you block moves from your opponent. Blokus sometimes comes to an end because there are no more possible moves.
Four players make this abstract game especially fast and exciting; however, it can be just as fun for two or three players. Blokus has come up with a number of different ways to play the game to make it more thrilling when playing with less than four players. Draft Blokus allows a player to use more than one color and Reverse Blokus reverses the entire game so that the person who places the least amount of tiles on the board is the winner. It can even be played in a solitaire version when one player attempts to place all of their pieces in a single sitting. A game of Blokus typically lasts a 30 minutes. As a practical feature, raised edges on the board help keep the tiles in place and allow convenient clean-up. This game includes 84 pieces in four vibrant colors, an instruction guide, and one gameboard with 400 squares.
Blokus is simple to understand, but the game's complexity is revealed shortly after everyone begins to play. It can be addictive, even for those not normally into abstract games. Blokus is a catalyst for spatial thinking, as players form images in their mind before placing the pieces on the board. Children and adults can play together for hours of competitive family fun. As Europe's 2003 Game of the Year, Blokus is adored by many and even played in professional tournaments.

Great for the whole Family My daugher requested this for her 7th birthday. She started playing this game with her grandparents. Very education and fun for the whole family.

Customer Reviews Banzai Sidewinder Falls Low Prices
This is cool! This appears to be very durable, and of the same material as the high dollar fun jumps. I set it up for a birthday party and over a dozen kids broke it in, and then some. It stood up well to the abuse of hours of swimming by the kids. My only critisim of the product is that once you turn it off you loose all the water that you put into over the course of the use for that day. So be prepared to have a higher water bill due to that. So if your in an area with drought restrictions you could get into trouble using this product because of the constant use of water from the hose. It would have been better to have a permanently blown up lower section to retain the water and a recirculation pump to supply water to the slide and the water cannons. It doesn't though, and you have to run it off the hose each time. Other than that the kids love it, and have used it just about every day since purchasing it.
Extremely pleased Though this review is somewhat long, it will hopefully answer your questions. We are very pleased with this slide. We've now had it for a full month and have used it almost every day (there were maybe three or four days this last month that we didn't inflate it.) We've had no problems at all. It has been through two birthday parties one with about six, 6 year olds and another with about nine 10 year olds. Around the parties our kids have used it virtually every day and some days the neighborhood kids join them. I'd consider that pretty heavy use. The slide had held up just fine and I believe - and hope - that it continues to do so. Important - make sure all kids follow the rules - not only to make sure the slide lasts - but for their own safety, it is a just a toy and not a commercial unit after all. No more than one child at the top of the slide at a time and make sure children move away from the bottom of the slide as soon as they come down to be out of the way of the next child. Initial set up takes maybe a half hour while you make sure you do everything properly. Every set up after the first takes about 4 minutes - 2 minutes to spread out and plug in the blower and two minutes to inflate. That's it. Take down couldn't be easier. Unplug the blower and untie the vent on the opposite side. Completely
Could be better We like the water slide a lot; however, because we the only way to get water while playing is connecting to a garden hose, the water is always very cold. I wish the slide came with a recycled water system. One hose is connected to the slide, and then the water is distributed to several places, so the spraying water on the top is not powerful. Make sure there is a lot of water ruuning on the big slide when you slide; otherwise, you might have burned your arm or elbow skin as some kids and I did.

Darker than pic, but washes out to pic Shipment was quick; within 5 days or less (through Amazon's standard shipping). I purchased this 12 of this item to use for a group trip. I was a bit disappointed to see that it was a bit darker than pictured. Instead of sending it back (b/c there was a shipping fee), I just kept it. Used it anyways, but washed it before use. The color came out and it turned out a lot lighter; just like it's pictured! So now I like it! It was a bit deceiving at first. I recommend washing/rinsing first before use as the color may stain other clothing. Great price & great shipping! Downside is that the company prefers you to email them instead of calling.
great product Its a bandana my daughter used as a napkin on a camping trip. What can be said about a bandana? It is what it is. Nice color, great price.
Fun and multifunctional I plan to make funky kitchen curtains with these. Fast delivery, bright colors. I'm happy.

Product Description Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device
Introducing Kindle™ Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle. We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, you’ll find reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot, and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time. We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read. With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand. We’re very proud to introduce Kindle and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. - The Amazon Kindle Team

Customer Reviews Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device
New electronic reader user I love my new kindle! It reads just like a book, and the convenience of having my daily newspaper and blogs delivered instantly is amazing. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who spends a lot of time reading, or feels guilty about all the wasted unrecycled paper that is produced.
Great concept. Poor execution!! First of all, let me say that I love this little thing. It's easy to shop for what you want to read and to carry and a great concept. However, mine is going back for 2 reasons. The design is poorly executed. Unless the Whisper is supported by another platform there is almost no way to hold the reader without unwanted toggling back and forth amongst pages. If you try to hold it with your hand, you WILL toggle the pages. 2) There is no backlighting. I don't care what the concept was to produce the pages the same shade as whatever they are supposed to be. You need good lighting to read with it and this reader has none. In my mind, the lighting concept was as deficient as the support concept. That is to say, there isn't any. True, you could use a small reading light. But priced where this unit is, nope, figure out how to light it without the lamp on top of it. If the unit was $100 or so, I'd probably keep it. I do enjoy it. But priced where it is, IT IS NOT A VALUE PURCHASE!! Needs redesigning. It's going back! Hope this helps.
My world has changed I had been looking at the Kindle since it came out. I finally bought it when the price came down just a little bit... I could not wait any longer. I think my favorite feature is the "whisper-net". I can be anywhere and get a book delivered right "in my lap" in minutes. I have also wanted to subscribe to an international newspaper, but always found it rather invonveniantely set up through normal mail. The news would get to me so much later. Now with the Kindle this is all in the past. I get the Frankfurter Allgemeine delivered to me without having any delays. I read a few of the reviews on this item before I bought it. I think the only one I might really agree on is the "next page" button on the right hand side of the Kindle. It is rather easy pushing it by accident, but having said that... it takes a second to push the "back page" if that happens. All in all, one of my best purchases ever!

Editorial Reviews Live Butterfly Garden
Editorial Review Did you know that painted ladies (the butterflies, that is) taste with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? You and your kids will be fascinated by all you learn about these beautiful creatures with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes with a relatively easy-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (you provide only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars. The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes about three weeks from when you receive the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container with all the nutrients they need). Your children can watch the larvae increase dramatically in size, form chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it's suggested that they release the butterflies after a few days of observation). This would make a wonderful activity for families with kids of any age, but younger children will need help assembling the observation chamber and reading the instruction booklet. (Note: The manufacturer recommends that butterflies should not be set free in temperatures lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.) --Rachel Radway

Customer Reviews
Really Interesting I thought that this product was a great idea. There are a couple of issues that I had with this item. To order the catapillars cost an extra fee, that while it was minimal, it was unlisted in the product description. The other thing is that the kids, (ages 9 & 5) were disappointed that they couldn't touch the caterpillars. All in all this was a educational product that can be used again, and would be great for a science fair project.
live butterflys My almost three year old son loves bugs. So we thought this would be a great toy for him. I think I like it more than him, he is more hands on, and of course you cant really touch the catapillars, you just have to look at them. But they are just now beginning to turn into cocoons. I will for sure be ordering more catapillars and doing this again!!
loved it This was a great experience! It was amazing for both the kids and parents to watch!

Customer Reviews Apple iPhone Soft Polycarbonate Slim fit Case - 6 Color Options
stylish BUT.. The case makes my iphone stylish and I like that it is very slim, perfect fit. Although I must admit the polycarbonate case will not protect my phone if I drop it accidentally,but it will protect the sides and the back from scratches.I also like that the color is the same as what the picture shows. I let my husband critique the case since he used to work for a Japanese MOLDIE company for plastics,polycarbonate etc. and he said it is a good case but he does not like the lines on the sides of the case where they connected the parts together...this is where the Japanese will reject the job for quality reasons..this is where it will break (since I have to remove the case to dock or charge my phone).He said if they can make it as one whole piece it will be a better quality. He also mention that he did not like that they spray painted the case(the insides have different color and you can see the red spray paints but it is not visible when you put the phone in the case). He must be right because the same lines on the side of the case that he mentioned is where I see the paints coming off, making the line more visible.I still give it 4 stars because for the price and the way it makes my iphone look stylish.
white case does what it's supposed to This case pretty much does the prescribed task: It wraps around the iphone! Unlike most out there, it's not bulky, so it fits in your pocket a little better. It's one of the cheaper ones out there, but you get what you pay for. I bought the white case, and the inside is still black, you could tell that they just sprayed the outside white. It's held up pretty well, not much to complain about for 14 bucks
Best case, period! The case clips onto your phone. It is as thin as two playing cards. The feel is like rubber but it is durable polycarbonate. Easy to put into your pocket and to hold. I have dropped my phone twice (grrr) and the cozip has protected it beautifully. About 4 of my friends now have taken one look (and one feel) of my cozip and have ordered their own. It's a must have for any iPhone user!

Customer Reviews Apple iPhone Soft Polycarbonate Slim fit Case - 6 Color Options
stylish BUT.. The case makes my iphone stylish and I like that it is very slim, perfect fit. Although I must admit the polycarbonate case will not protect my phone if I drop it accidentally,but it will protect the sides and the back from scratches.I also like that the color is the same as what the picture shows. I let my husband critique the case since he used to work for a Japanese MOLDIE company for plastics,polycarbonate etc. and he said it is a good case but he does not like the lines on the sides of the case where they connected the parts together...this is where the Japanese will reject the job for quality reasons..this is where it will break (since I have to remove the case to dock or charge my phone).He said if they can make it as one whole piece it will be a better quality. He also mention that he did not like that they spray painted the case(the insides have different color and you can see the red spray paints but it is not visible when you put the phone in the case). He must be right because the same lines on the side of the case that he mentioned is where I see the paints coming off, making the line more visible.I still give it 4 stars because for the price and the way it makes my iphone look stylish.

SLOW shipping on some items Great price for American Apparel products. Unfortunately, it turned out that they didn't have 1/3 of the stuff I ordered. Then they shipped a bunch of the items really late (two weeks). They told me it was because they're new inventory. They really need to update their Amazon posts to reflect what is CURRENTLY in stock!
Awesome The BF loves American Apparel shirts as undershirts in white or ash grey, so in addition to those I got him some in colors he doesn't usually wear. The red is cheery and bright and the eggplant is a dark rich purple. Getting them online from places who buy AA in bulk and pass on the savings is so much cheaper than walking into AA and spending >$15 on a simple cotton shirt. As always, the shirts I received were quality material- soft, durable cotton in an excellent cut.
COLIN'S REVIEW Very comfortable and nice. I appreciate it arriving on time. Take care and God Bless.

Amazon.com Product Description What if one device could help you navigate anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, while offering travel tips, storing your favorite tunes and photos, providing translation assistance, and more? That device is here, and it's not much bigger than a deck of cards. The Garmin nüvi 350 is set to revolutionize what we expect from a GPS navigation device, or from any device for that matter.

DesignWith a total weight of 5.1 ounces and slim measurements of 3.87 x 2.91 x 0.87 inches (WxHxD), the nüvi 350 is just right for the pocket or purse. A bright, 64,000-color display dominates the front of the device and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels means that there's plenty of room for displaying map data and other elements of the device's interface. An SD memory card slot is provided for expansion software, such as a points of interest database, media files and electronic guides (see below). The flip-up antenna includes an MCX-type connector for connecting the unit to an external GPS antenna. Meanwhile, a powerful built-in speaker resides on the back of device. A built-in lithium ion battery will give you for to eight hours of battery life, depending on use. In addition to an AC charger, the unit also ships with a 12-volt power adapter for vehicle charging, as well as a windshield suction cup mount.
Fortunately, Garmin has made it easy to interface with the nüvi 350's 700 megabytes of onboard memory, thanks to "plug-and-play" USB mass storage support. Just plug the device into your computer's USB port and you've got instantaneous access to all the audio books, music, photos, supplemental maps and other data on the nüvi 350's internal and SD card memory.
NavigationThe nüvi 350 is first and foremost a personal GPS device. Wherever you go -- in your car or on foot-- the device offers extremely accurate position data, thanks to a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver by SiRF and WAAS-enabled, 12-satellite reception. Combined with detailed maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico the nüvi 350 provides automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, and touchscreen control-- making it easy to find your way anywhere. Plus, the unique "text-to-speech" feature calls out turns by street name, and you can choose from either 2D or 3D mapping perspectives when you're viewing your route on the display. Additionally, the nüvi 350 is compatible with Garmin's GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver*, which allows users to avoid traffic tie-ups by simply pushing a button that will calculate a new route.
As mentioned, the nüvi 350 comes packed with mapping data for North America, but you can can also load up your custom points of interest. Set up proximity alerts for school zones, safety cameras, and more using Garmin's free POI (points of interest) loader program (available from garmin.com).
Important note about map updates: Due to our high volume of sales, almost every Garmin portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. If you ever do need a map update, you can purchase one from Amazon.com at our Garmin Store.
Tools for the JourneyNavigation is just part of the journey, and the nüvi 350 is one of the first devices to recognize that. The built-in "Travel Kit" offers an MP3 player, an audio book player from Audible.com, a jpeg-format picture viewer, a world travel clock with time zones, a currency converter, a measurement converter, and a calculator.
In addition to the included travel tools, additional software add-ons are available, such as the Garmin Language Guide, with data provided by Oxford University Press. This software suite contains a multilingual word bank, phrase bank, and five bilingual dictionaries. The multilingual word bank and phrase bank supports nine languages and dialects, including American English, British English, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, European Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Now you can look up and translate more than 17,000 words or 20,000 phrases per language -- right in the palm of your hand. Through the unit's text-to-speech interface, users can get a spoken pronunciation of each entry in the word bank, along with gender and part of speech information.
Another useful add-on software package, the Garmin Travel Guide, is loaded with information provided by Marco Polo. These guides put in-depth travel information such as reviews and recommendations for restaurants, tourist attractions, and more at your fingertips. The software allows you to navigate to an address or search points of interest-- places like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. The nüvi 350 automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way. The unit also audibly announces the name of upcoming streets-- letting you keep your eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. And if you stray off course, the nüvi 350 automatically calculates the quickest way to get back on track.
*Traffic services available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. Requires the GTM 10 FM TMC traffic receiver and subscription fee to enable traffic capability.
