Seagate (GIVEAWAY)

November 9th, 2009

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED !!!

As a blogger I have TONS of photos floating around on my hard-drive. I fill up a hard-drive pretty quickly. And when I travel, I am constantly wishing I had a way to access some of the info I have on my DeskTop. Seagate has solved ALL of my problems! Check out their new line for all the techy people in your life this year. Affordable, easy to use and dependable! You will be a hit!

Seagate’s line of easy-to-use storage solutions that help people enjoy, share and store their digital content: Seagate launched the next evolution of network storage - FreeAgent DockStar^TM network adapter, an amazingly simple way to access and share your digital content with anyone from anywhere.

Increasingly, people are enjoying the benefits of being always connected, yet there still remains a gap in easily connecting people back to their content at home and sharing it with others. The DockStar network adapter reinvents how people think of anywhere access and the concept of sharing their digital files. It allows the FreeAgent Go^TM portable hard drive to be added to a network, giving access to its content from anywhere within or outside of the home, as well as allowing for selective sharing of files with friends and family. In a matter of minutes a drive can become accessible through any Internet connected computer, as well as through an innovative iPhone application.
In addition to the introduction of the FreeAgent DockStar network adapter, Seagate  also introduced three new capacity points for its award-winning FreeAgent Go hard drive family. In addition to the existing capacities of 250GB, 320GB, 500GB and 640GB, the Seagate FreeAgent Go portable storage solution will now also ship in 1TB, 880GB and 750GB capacities. These new capacity offerings in a portable form factor allow people to carry entire libraries of movies, pictures and music in their pockets.

The new FreeAgent Go drives are compatible with Seagate’s lineup of accessories in the FreeAgent family, including the new FreeAgent Theater+^TM HD media player, FreeAgent Go Dock^TM accessory, FreeAgent Go Dock+^TM accessory, and the newly announced FreeAgent DockStar^TM network adapter.

As with all Seagate FreeAgent® drives, the FreeAgent Go 1TB, 880GB and 750GB drives are all compatible with Windows® 7, Windows Vista® and Windows® XP operating systems and come equipped with Seagate Manager^TM software, an enhanced application that provides scheduled automated back-ups and multi-computer synchronization. The FreeAgent drives for Windows also offer security in the form of software-based AES-256bit encryption to help keep your information safe and
private. The FreeAgent Go 1TB portable drive is backed by Seagate’s industry-leading; five-year limited warranty, providing the confidence of knowing your digital memories and life’s work is on a hard drive you can trust.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Seagate FreeAgentGo and DockStar. The FreeAgent Go is lightweight and compact making portability a breeze and with the DockStar I can access all of my information that is here at home from anywhere. See, I told you , they solved all of my problems. And we all know that I am not the most technologically advanced person. With the Seagate line, I have had no problems setting up, installing, or working their products. That makes them #1 on my list this year!

How Berry Sweet

October 10th, 2009

I remember playing with all of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls that my sister had when we were young. I reember all the different smells they each had, and the little strawberry hut/house. And watching Strawberry Shortcake on Saturday mornings.

It is so fun to see Strawberry Shortcake re-surfacing. She was always so much fun and now, you can experience Strawberry Shortcake in her full-length feature DVD “Sky’s The Limit.

Life is berry sweet in Berry Bitty City where Strawberry runs the Berry Cafe. But, when Berry Citys water supply was in jeopardy, Strawberry must find a way to rescue the town, and learns that when you have good friends and faith in yourself, any challenge can be overcome.

As always Strawberry Shortcake portrays good values so that you can allow your kids to watch without worrying about what they are learning. And, she has her own website where they can play videos, games and activities. You can find it HERE

You can find Strawberry Shortcake Sky’s The Limit in major retailers across the country and at several retailers online including the Fox Store.

The DVD also contains some special features for your enjoyment. The Music Video: “Cafe Cabaret” Sing Along and DVD-Rom Printable Coloring Pages.

“A copy of the DVD was provided to me by 20th Century Fox for review purposes. I recevied no other compensation and the opinions provided in this review are those of my own and have been in no way influenced by an outside source.”

Durham County

September 16th, 2009

Award-Winning Series Marks ION’s First Venture Into Original Programming

What you don‟t know about your neighbors could kill you. That’s just everyday reality in “Durham County,” the new original scripted prime time series premiering this Fall to U.S. audiences on ION Television. “Durham County” is an eerie combination of suspense and family drama that marks the first original prime time series to premiere on ION Television. The show will bow to U.S. audiences in early September.

Produced by Muse Entertainment and Back Alley Films, the Award-Winning “Durham County” series follows the troubled world of Homicide Detective Mike Sweeney (Hugh Dillon, CBS‟ “Flashpoint”) who moves his family to quiet suburbia for a fresh start after his partner is killed and his wife Audrey (Hélène Joy) is diagnosed with breast cancer. While Durham County seems like the perfect place to begin again, Sweeney soon discovers that his neighbor Ray Prager (Justin Louis) may be a serial killer. What’s more, Prager is not just a random stranger - he is Sweeney’s arch high school nemesis. As events unfold and young women begin disappearing, an intense showdown develops between the two complex men and their families.

“‟Durham County‟ is the perfect new show to serve as a prime time anchor as we build our schedule of compelling original and hit off-network series,” said Leslie Chesloff, Executive Vice President, Programming, ION Media Networks. “‟Durham County‟ is unlike anything else on television and it will instantly grab and hold onto viewers, particularly our key 25-54 demographic. It is this kind of programming that makes ION Television a destination for anyone who is looking for TV that is truly different.”

This is the kind of show that will grip your mind and emotions and keep you hanging on. The critically acclaimed “Durham County,” ION Television’s first original series, premieres September 7th and will air Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. Check your local listing for the channel in your area.

In addition, check out the Durham County micro-site, http://www.durhamcountysecrets.com to help you explore more of the show. On the site, you can check out the exclusive clips, sound bites and photos. You can also upload your own secrets, view secrets from others and send them to a friend.
