QuickBooks Class Tracking - How To Use For Best Results


What is Class Tracking?

Class Tracking in QuickBooks is a way to break down different segments of a single business. Let's say, for example, that you own a chain of restaurants. You have one in the north part of town, one on the south part of town, one in the east part of town, and one in the west part of town. You could establish classes with the following names: North, South, East, and West, and assign these to each transaction - writing checks, entering bills, generating invoices, etc.

If you want to see how of all the restaurants are doing as a group, you would run a regular Profit and Loss. But if you wanted to see how a particular restaurant was doing, you would still run a Profit and Loss, but you would filter it by Class. This report would give you the revenue and expenses for whichever class you chose, assuming all of the original entries were made correctly. Very nice!

What Types of Accounts Can Use Class Tracking?

Class Tracking is designed for Profit and Loss transactions, not for Balance Sheet transactions. On most screens it is very easy to tell if you are operating in a profit and loss transaction, or a balance sheet transaction with classes. Let's take the Write Checks screen. You are familiar with both halves of this screen, no doubt. There is the upper half with the green "check," and the lower half, with two tabs that say Expenses and Items in a white field.

If you have class tracking turned on in QuickBooks, open the Write Checks screen (from the banking menu, select Write Checks). Take a moment and look where the Class column is located. It's in the lower half of the screen. The upper half of this screen is definitely a balance sheet transaction - it takes money away from the bank account. The lower half of the screen is often a profit and loss transaction. And it is in this section where the class is assigned.

The same holds for the Enter Bills screen. Open it now and see (from the Vendors menu, select Enter Bills). In the Invoice screen, it is is a little more difficult to understand, but still, the class assigned here will affect a profit and loss account.

Can I Have Separate Companies in a Single QuickBooks File, and Assign Each Its Own Class?

No. Each unique entity, with a unique FEIN, must have it's own file.

I've often seen questions from people who have set up different companies in a single QuickBooks file, and assign a class name for to each company. At some point, the business owner inevitably wants a class report based on the balance sheet for each company - the bank accounts, accounts receivable, credit cards, accounts payable, etc., all broken down by class. QuickBooks Class Tracking cannot do this, and was not designed for this!

Another problem with establishing different companies within a single QuickBooks file is that ownership across the companies might not be the same. Retained Earnings for each company cannot be separated (at least, not automatically by QuickBooks). Maintaining separate Retained Earnings is crucial if the ownership across the entities varies AT ALL.

Also, if the entities are corporations, preparing the corporate tax returns becomes a real challenge if they've all been setup into a single QuickBooks file. There's just no way to have QuickBooks breakout the separate balance sheets that are required for the tax returns.

What Should I Do If I Have More Than One Company in a Single QuickBooks File?

You will need to separate them into separate QuickBooks files. I know, I know - you don't want separate QuickBooks files! I understand. But that is the way it needs to be - truly! If you need help doing it, go to the Intuit website and find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor to help. This is a sticky situation and should be handled by somebody who understands accounting principles.

Design
With 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.

Navigation
The 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.



The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.
Tools for the Journey
Navigation 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.

Customer Review: Great GPS

This unit performed excellently. Took a trip to Nashville and it was right on. Listened to a book on tape thru it and that worked great.

Customer Review: Worth every dollar!

Compact and easy to use. No fumbling with maps or written directions anymore. A must have!



The Land Before Time IV - Journey Through the Mists



The Land Before Time IV - Journey Through the Mists
Littlefoot and the gang meet a shy newcomer, Ali, but the pleasantries stop there. There's a dire environmental theme to this third sequel in the series, in which the world's weather changes beyond the Great Valley, and what had been dry land is now a "land of mists." The shift brings new creatures who push out older inhabitants, and Littlefoot sees these radical changes for himself when he has to venture into the area to find a medicinal flower for his sick grandfather. While the animation is slow and contained the way direct-to-video cartoon releases often are, the story is sound and the now-familiar characters are memorable. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Dinos--Spoiler

The animation is still superb. For the most part, the characters are likeable. The major exceptions to this are Cera and Ally. Cera is always pushy and arrogant, no supurise. However, it gets old. Ally seems like a bigot, which sticks to her own. That's not a kid-friendly message. Also, Grampa--the reason I bought this--is hardly in it at all. Plus, he's weak and sick throughout but recovers in 2 seconds, whatever!

Customer Review: A Great Succes! ! ! !

I really like this movie because of the great lesson it teaches, and it is hillarious!! It starts when a herd of "Longnecks" come to the Great Valley to tell of some news of some strange weather changes in different places not far from the Great Valley. The wandering Longnecks call it the,"The Land of Mists." Everybody in the Great Valley is not too upset, I mean, why would there be any reason for them to go to a place like that? Right? WRONG! Littlefoot's Grandpa suddenly becomes ill, and his one and only hope is to eat the petals of a golden flower that grows only in, "The Land of Mists!" So Littlefoot, Ducky,Cera,Petrie,Spike and a new comer Ali journey to "The Mists" to find the petals of the Golden Night flower. But, they are not alone as they are looking for the flower, for deep in the shadows, lurks two pesky villains, looking for something to eat....... So, if you are wondering what's going to happen, get the movie!!

Customer Review: There's nothing like watching a 7-year old with a Webkinz

I recently got to spend some time with my 7-year old niece and watched her "wax lyrical" about how much she loves her Webkinz (she has three of them!). She took me over to the computer and showed me how the computer part works with the beagle Webkinz she named "Sam". I watched her zip around the computer playing all sorts of games to "make money" to pay for the food, clothes, and treats for her "pet".



The game teaches kids some of the responsibilities of having a pet (like making sure they get fed, taking them for a walk, spending time playing with them, etc.) while teaching computer skills at the same time. The carnival-like environment where they play games to make money for their pet is fun and provides enough variety to keep them coming back day after day.



I'd highly recommend Webkinz for any child who loves toy animals and wants to gain further experience on the computer.

Customer Review: Webkinz Beagle

I bought this for my daughter when I couldn't find one around our home town. So, I ordered it thru the internet and Amazon. It was one of her favourite gifts! Not only can she cuddle with him, but she goes on the Webkinz website and creates a room for her virtual pet, and plays educational games that will build up W-$ for her to buy things for her pet!! She really enjoys playing on the website and she sleeps with the beagle every night! I even went and bought a chocolate lab webkinz for my son who is 3. He and his sister have a good time playing on the website and carrying their pets wherever they go!



I-Sight, Mini Task Light On Your Ear



I-Sight, Mini Task Light On Your Ear
Tired of fumbling with awkward book lights that need to be carefully balanced on a page? Shine a light exactly where you need it with the I-Sight mini task light. It fits comfortably on the ear and projects a bright glare-free beam straight ahead with no

Customer Review: I-Sight, I like!!

I always find it amusing that some folks seem to have difficulty with operating something rather simple. Much like the people shown in an advertisement having difficulty (on purpose) with a simple task and then shown with the 'solution' product that they are pitching.

We spend a lot of time RVing with a dog which requires spending time outdoors, many times in the dark. This little light is perfect since it frees up your hands to handle the doggy chores. But it also is enough light on a dark night to allow you to get around while seeing everywhere your head is pointed.

It feels awkward at first, until you get the hang of it. Put it on your ear, adjusting it and pushing it against your head, until it feels snug. Mine has yet to fall off or even come close to falling off.

I've used 'head lights' that strap around your head like a visor. And I've used other types of illuminating devices, but this is now my favorite.

If you are one of the voters in Broward county during the 2000 election who couldn't seem to vote, this is not for you. Everyone else - you'll love it!

Adding to this review..............

I neglected to mention that it has allowed me to grill on our portable grill outside after dark when camping. Many times the light available is just not enough or non-existent. This light is more than adequate for the task and frees your hands to do everything. It's cool.........

Customer Review: I love this little light!!!

I purchased one of these about 2 years ago in Radio Shack, and I used it so much that used up the battery and finally the bulb. I then obtained a replacement and did an encore and now I am buying a third. I may seem like lot but in all honesty I used the hell out of mine! I have used it for such things as changing a flat tire at night (this happened to me twice), working on computers under a desk, wiring electrical fixtures in a dark corners. Plus about a 1000 other applications where it was not practical to have a conventional flash light. It's light in weight and mounts on the ear much like a cell phone ear piece does. About the only down side it that if you have cell phone ear piece on the other ear, you end up looking like something out of Star Trek.



The Complete Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions) [HD DVD]



The Complete Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions) [HD DVD]
Customer Review: Best Movie ever!

I bought this movie as a present for my husband; he is a huge Matrix fan. And needles to say, I score big. He is really happy with not only being able to watch it any time he wants but with the quality of the movie.

Customer Review: Take the red pill while you can, don't swallow the blu pill with this one!

This is the movie that makes owning an HD DVD player still worth it. If you don't have one, it is still worth buying one just to own this movie on HD DVD. Of course, in a short amount of time, this movie will be transferred to Blu-ray - however, it most likely won't have the same kind of IN MOVIE EXPERIENCES that HD DVD does. Also, when it comes out on Blu-ray, they'll probably charge a lot more!



Take the red pill now while you still can and see how deep this rabbit hole goes!



Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat



Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat
The Cat is back! This time he's in your house and on your PC! Follow along as the story is read, or click on objects and play games. As kids play along, they will discover big and small surprises along the way. (Ages 3-7)

Customer Review: Dr. Suess Cat in the Hat interactive CD

Dr. Suess Cat in the Hat CD is fabulous! You have the option of just having the story read to you or you can play with it interactively while it's being read. What's so nice about just the story itself is that it is read to music, and even sang in parts. It's so pleasing auditorily, that alone captures the youngster's attention. The graphics are great and when playing interactively with the pages, there are countless things to click on and view. I think quite possibly you can catch something different each time you play. Besides just clicking on items in the scene as with most interactive CDs, you can maipulate some things on the Cat in the Hat, for example, dragging a ball over to shoot in to a basket. This is a definate for the Dr. Suess lover, or anyone who loves the idea of interactive play. A purchase you'll love and use over and over again!

Customer Review: Autistic Kid Loves It

My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this game and will play with it for hours.



She just likes to randomly skip around and repeatedly run the animations from clickable hotspots.



She already could read the book, before we got this program. And she likes the Mike Meyers live-action adaptation of the Cat in the Hat too.



Estéban's Complete Guitar Course For Beginners



Estéban's Complete Guitar Course For Beginners
Esteban studied under celebrated guitar master Andres Segovia, performed thousands of concerts, and topped the Billboard charts.

Customer Review: Guitar course

Not what I received. Received another copy of the DVD so I returned it. Still waiting to see if the return gets processed correctly.

Customer Review: Easy to understand

Though I think the DVDs could have been way more educational. It is really good. I am learning how to play guitar!!!!! JUst do not get discouraged when you compare the way you play with Estában's way. He is a professional, we are not. So enjoy!!!



Incredible Hulk the Complete Comic Collection Win/Mac



Incredible Hulk the Complete Comic Collection Win/Mac
Incredible Hulk: The Complete Collection DVD brings together more than four decades of adventures that star a classic superhero. Nuclear physicist Bruce Banner created a new kind of nuclear explosive, the Gamma Bomb. On its first test, he was caught in the blast - but instead of being killed he was turned into a dark, distorted version of himself. He was transformed from a skinny, brilliant weakling to a brutish mountain of super-strong muscle. For 40 years, the Hulk's adventures thrilled audiences around the world. This DVD collects every issue of the first volume, from 1962 to 2005. That's over 530 issues in all!

Customer Review: Awesome!

This is a must have for any hulk fan! Yeah, some of the reviewers might complain about the quality of the scans, but it is a very minor issue, and overall an incredible (no pun intended) compilation of the comics. Also, I really like the fact that they scanned the entire book, advertisements and all. It gives you a sense of the times in which they were published. Pick this up, you won't be disappointed!

Customer Review: Comics on DVD are a great idea

I've got several of the Marvel collections of comics on DVD, and I've been very pleased with my purchases. It nearly impossible for the average person to get access to this much comic history in a printed format, even by buying collections and trade paperbacks. I enjoy being able to go back and read the comics from the 1970's when I was growing up one night, and then the next jump ahead to more recent House of M / Civil War arcs.



I do recommend a good monitor, however. A wide-screen would be ideal.

QuickBooks Class Tracking - How To Use For Best Results


What is Class Tracking?

Class Tracking in QuickBooks is a way to break down different segments of a single business. Let's say, for example, that you own a chain of restaurants. You have one in the north part of town, one on the south part of town, one in the east part of town, and one in the west part of town. You could establish classes with the following names: North, South, East, and West, and assign these to each transaction - writing checks, entering bills, generating invoices, etc.

If you want to see how of all the restaurants are doing as a group, you would run a regular Profit and Loss. But if you wanted to see how a particular restaurant was doing, you would still run a Profit and Loss, but you would filter it by Class. This report would give you the revenue and expenses for whichever class you chose, assuming all of the original entries were made correctly. Very nice!

What Types of Accounts Can Use Class Tracking?

Class Tracking is designed for Profit and Loss transactions, not for Balance Sheet transactions. On most screens it is very easy to tell if you are operating in a profit and loss transaction, or a balance sheet transaction with classes. Let's take the Write Checks screen. You are familiar with both halves of this screen, no doubt. There is the upper half with the green "check," and the lower half, with two tabs that say Expenses and Items in a white field.

If you have class tracking turned on in QuickBooks, open the Write Checks screen (from the banking menu, select Write Checks). Take a moment and look where the Class column is located. It's in the lower half of the screen. The upper half of this screen is definitely a balance sheet transaction - it takes money away from the bank account. The lower half of the screen is often a profit and loss transaction. And it is in this section where the class is assigned.

The same holds for the Enter Bills screen. Open it now and see (from the Vendors menu, select Enter Bills). In the Invoice screen, it is is a little more difficult to understand, but still, the class assigned here will affect a profit and loss account.

Can I Have Separate Companies in a Single QuickBooks File, and Assign Each Its Own Class?

No. Each unique entity, with a unique FEIN, must have it's own file.

I've often seen questions from people who have set up different companies in a single QuickBooks file, and assign a class name for to each company. At some point, the business owner inevitably wants a class report based on the balance sheet for each company - the bank accounts, accounts receivable, credit cards, accounts payable, etc., all broken down by class. QuickBooks Class Tracking cannot do this, and was not designed for this!

Another problem with establishing different companies within a single QuickBooks file is that ownership across the companies might not be the same. Retained Earnings for each company cannot be separated (at least, not automatically by QuickBooks). Maintaining separate Retained Earnings is crucial if the ownership across the entities varies AT ALL.

Also, if the entities are corporations, preparing the corporate tax returns becomes a real challenge if they've all been setup into a single QuickBooks file. There's just no way to have QuickBooks breakout the separate balance sheets that are required for the tax returns.

What Should I Do If I Have More Than One Company in a Single QuickBooks File?

You will need to separate them into separate QuickBooks files. I know, I know - you don't want separate QuickBooks files! I understand. But that is the way it needs to be - truly! If you need help doing it, go to the Intuit website and find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor to help. This is a sticky situation and should be handled by somebody who understands accounting principles.

With 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.

Navigation
The 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.



The device automatically calculates the fastest route and provides voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions along the way.
Tools for the Journey
Navigation 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.

Customer Review: Great GPS

This unit performed excellently. Took a trip to Nashville and it was right on. Listened to a book on tape thru it and that worked great.

Customer Review: Worth every dollar!

Compact and easy to use. No fumbling with maps or written directions anymore. A must have!



The Land Before Time IV - Journey Through the Mists



The Land Before Time IV - Journey Through the Mists
Littlefoot and the gang meet a shy newcomer, Ali, but the pleasantries stop there. There's a dire environmental theme to this third sequel in the series, in which the world's weather changes beyond the Great Valley, and what had been dry land is now a "land of mists." The shift brings new creatures who push out older inhabitants, and Littlefoot sees these radical changes for himself when he has to venture into the area to find a medicinal flower for his sick grandfather. While the animation is slow and contained the way direct-to-video cartoon releases often are, the story is sound and the now-familiar characters are memorable. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Dinos--Spoiler

The animation is still superb. For the most part, the characters are likeable. The major exceptions to this are Cera and Ally. Cera is always pushy and arrogant, no supurise. However, it gets old. Ally seems like a bigot, which sticks to her own. That's not a kid-friendly message. Also, Grampa--the reason I bought this--is hardly in it at all. Plus, he's weak and sick throughout but recovers in 2 seconds, whatever!

Customer Review: A Great Succes! ! ! !

I really like this movie because of the great lesson it teaches, and it is hillarious!! It starts when a herd of "Longnecks" come to the Great Valley to tell of some news of some strange weather changes in different places not far from the Great Valley. The wandering Longnecks call it the,"The Land of Mists." Everybody in the Great Valley is not too upset, I mean, why would there be any reason for them to go to a place like that? Right? WRONG! Littlefoot's Grandpa suddenly becomes ill, and his one and only hope is to eat the petals of a golden flower that grows only in, "The Land of Mists!" So Littlefoot, Ducky,Cera,Petrie,Spike and a new comer Ali journey to "The Mists" to find the petals of the Golden Night flower. But, they are not alone as they are looking for the flower, for deep in the shadows, lurks two pesky villains, looking for something to eat....... So, if you are wondering what's going to happen, get the movie!!

Customer Review: There's nothing like watching a 7-year old with a Webkinz

I recently got to spend some time with my 7-year old niece and watched her "wax lyrical" about how much she loves her Webkinz (she has three of them!). She took me over to the computer and showed me how the computer part works with the beagle Webkinz she named "Sam". I watched her zip around the computer playing all sorts of games to "make money" to pay for the food, clothes, and treats for her "pet".



The game teaches kids some of the responsibilities of having a pet (like making sure they get fed, taking them for a walk, spending time playing with them, etc.) while teaching computer skills at the same time. The carnival-like environment where they play games to make money for their pet is fun and provides enough variety to keep them coming back day after day.



I'd highly recommend Webkinz for any child who loves toy animals and wants to gain further experience on the computer.

Customer Review: Webkinz Beagle

I bought this for my daughter when I couldn't find one around our home town. So, I ordered it thru the internet and Amazon. It was one of her favourite gifts! Not only can she cuddle with him, but she goes on the Webkinz website and creates a room for her virtual pet, and plays educational games that will build up W-$ for her to buy things for her pet!! She really enjoys playing on the website and she sleeps with the beagle every night! I even went and bought a chocolate lab webkinz for my son who is 3. He and his sister have a good time playing on the website and carrying their pets wherever they go!



I-Sight, Mini Task Light On Your Ear



I-Sight, Mini Task Light On Your Ear
Tired of fumbling with awkward book lights that need to be carefully balanced on a page? Shine a light exactly where you need it with the I-Sight mini task light. It fits comfortably on the ear and projects a bright glare-free beam straight ahead with no

Customer Review: I-Sight, I like!!

I always find it amusing that some folks seem to have difficulty with operating something rather simple. Much like the people shown in an advertisement having difficulty (on purpose) with a simple task and then shown with the 'solution' product that they are pitching.

We spend a lot of time RVing with a dog which requires spending time outdoors, many times in the dark. This little light is perfect since it frees up your hands to handle the doggy chores. But it also is enough light on a dark night to allow you to get around while seeing everywhere your head is pointed.

It feels awkward at first, until you get the hang of it. Put it on your ear, adjusting it and pushing it against your head, until it feels snug. Mine has yet to fall off or even come close to falling off.

I've used 'head lights' that strap around your head like a visor. And I've used other types of illuminating devices, but this is now my favorite.

If you are one of the voters in Broward county during the 2000 election who couldn't seem to vote, this is not for you. Everyone else - you'll love it!

Adding to this review..............

I neglected to mention that it has allowed me to grill on our portable grill outside after dark when camping. Many times the light available is just not enough or non-existent. This light is more than adequate for the task and frees your hands to do everything. It's cool.........

Customer Review: I love this little light!!!

I purchased one of these about 2 years ago in Radio Shack, and I used it so much that used up the battery and finally the bulb. I then obtained a replacement and did an encore and now I am buying a third. I may seem like lot but in all honesty I used the hell out of mine! I have used it for such things as changing a flat tire at night (this happened to me twice), working on computers under a desk, wiring electrical fixtures in a dark corners. Plus about a 1000 other applications where it was not practical to have a conventional flash light. It's light in weight and mounts on the ear much like a cell phone ear piece does. About the only down side it that if you have cell phone ear piece on the other ear, you end up looking like something out of Star Trek.



The Complete Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions) [HD DVD]



The Complete Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions) [HD DVD]
Customer Review: Best Movie ever!

I bought this movie as a present for my husband; he is a huge Matrix fan. And needles to say, I score big. He is really happy with not only being able to watch it any time he wants but with the quality of the movie.

Customer Review: Take the red pill while you can, don't swallow the blu pill with this one!

This is the movie that makes owning an HD DVD player still worth it. If you don't have one, it is still worth buying one just to own this movie on HD DVD. Of course, in a short amount of time, this movie will be transferred to Blu-ray - however, it most likely won't have the same kind of IN MOVIE EXPERIENCES that HD DVD does. Also, when it comes out on Blu-ray, they'll probably charge a lot more!



Take the red pill now while you still can and see how deep this rabbit hole goes!



Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat



Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat
The Cat is back! This time he's in your house and on your PC! Follow along as the story is read, or click on objects and play games. As kids play along, they will discover big and small surprises along the way. (Ages 3-7)

Customer Review: Dr. Suess Cat in the Hat interactive CD

Dr. Suess Cat in the Hat CD is fabulous! You have the option of just having the story read to you or you can play with it interactively while it's being read. What's so nice about just the story itself is that it is read to music, and even sang in parts. It's so pleasing auditorily, that alone captures the youngster's attention. The graphics are great and when playing interactively with the pages, there are countless things to click on and view. I think quite possibly you can catch something different each time you play. Besides just clicking on items in the scene as with most interactive CDs, you can maipulate some things on the Cat in the Hat, for example, dragging a ball over to shoot in to a basket. This is a definate for the Dr. Suess lover, or anyone who loves the idea of interactive play. A purchase you'll love and use over and over again!

Customer Review: Autistic Kid Loves It

My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this game and will play with it for hours.



She just likes to randomly skip around and repeatedly run the animations from clickable hotspots.



She already could read the book, before we got this program. And she likes the Mike Meyers live-action adaptation of the Cat in the Hat too.

Customer Review: Guitar course

Not what I received. Received another copy of the DVD so I returned it. Still waiting to see if the return gets processed correctly.

Customer Review: Easy to understand

Though I think the DVDs could have been way more educational. It is really good. I am learning how to play guitar!!!!! JUst do not get discouraged when you compare the way you play with Estában's way. He is a professional, we are not. So enjoy!!!



Incredible Hulk the Complete Comic Collection Win/Mac



Incredible Hulk the Complete Comic Collection Win/Mac
Incredible Hulk: The Complete Collection DVD brings together more than four decades of adventures that star a classic superhero. Nuclear physicist Bruce Banner created a new kind of nuclear explosive, the Gamma Bomb. On its first test, he was caught in the blast - but instead of being killed he was turned into a dark, distorted version of himself. He was transformed from a skinny, brilliant weakling to a brutish mountain of super-strong muscle. For 40 years, the Hulk's adventures thrilled audiences around the world. This DVD collects every issue of the first volume, from 1962 to 2005. That's over 530 issues in all!

Customer Review: Awesome!

This is a must have for any hulk fan! Yeah, some of the reviewers might complain about the quality of the scans, but it is a very minor issue, and overall an incredible (no pun intended) compilation of the comics. Also, I really like the fact that they scanned the entire book, advertisements and all. It gives you a sense of the times in which they were published. Pick this up, you won't be disappointed!

Customer Review: Comics on DVD are a great idea

I've got several of the Marvel collections of comics on DVD, and I've been very pleased with my purchases. It nearly impossible for the average person to get access to this much comic history in a printed format, even by buying collections and trade paperbacks. I enjoy being able to go back and read the comics from the 1970's when I was growing up one night, and then the next jump ahead to more recent House of M / Civil War arcs.



I do recommend a good monitor, however. A wide-screen would be ideal.
