Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX - Gadget or Necessity

By Matt Ryan

Dual monitoring is a very efficient way for individuals to get their work done. Whatever you may use the two monitors for, it allows you to separate applications for your convenience and ease of use. This concept has been around for over a decade and manufacturers are just now coming up with solutions that provide the same efficiency in a more spacious design.

Samsung has released a dual monitor set that has a 22" monitor along with an attachable 7" monitor - the SyncMaster 2263DX. This is a great setup for those who like the concept of dual monitoring. It is especially beneficial for individuals whom have limited desk space, and cannot fit two full sized monitors on their desk. The 7" monitor is perfect for secondary applications like instant messaging, while the 22" monitor is ideal for running your standard applications.

These monitors, with their shiny black coating, and beveled edges, will add a bit of elegance to any setting. The 22" monitor has a response time of 5ms, contrast ration of 1000:1, and a resolution of 1680 x 1050. All of which is pretty standard for monitors today. To connect the 22" to your computer, you will need to connect not only via the DVI, HDMI, or VGA port, but with the USB 2.0 port as well.

The smaller monitor, expectedly, has a much lower resolution and contrast ration along with a slower response time. (Res: 800 x 480, Con: 400:1, RT: 30ms) For a secondary monitor that supports secondary applications, these numbers are definitely sufficient for productivity.

Through the use of a swivel arm, the smaller monitor is attached to the larger one on either the left or right side, or even on the top. The smaller unit is flexible in its position as users can rotate the unit to their desired position. The unit can also be manipulated to stay in either landscape or portrait layout.

The secondary 7-inch monitor can function as more than just an attachment to the 22-inch monitor. The smaller of the two can also be used as a standalone monitor or even a digital picture frame. This smaller monitor was also designed to be used as a secondary monitor for laptops - if desired.

The Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX offers telecommunications benefits as well as dual monitoring. There is a 3.0M webcam, 1.5W down firing speakers, and a microphone integrated directly into the larger monitor. It is the perfect set up for videoconferencing.

The SyncMaster 2263DX can usually be found for around $550. This is a bit pricey for a 22" monitor, most of which can be purchased for around $200. You could easily buy two 22" monitors for less than you could purchase the new 2263DX. However, the 2263DX offers spacious efficiency.

It all comes down to what is most important to you. If you are considering dual monitoring then you obviously, need a solution that will help you to work more productively. The big question is space and budget. If you are willing to spend the extra dough, for the latest technology, then this is a great buy. If space is not an issue and budget is, then waiting for the price to drop might be the best alternative (or purchase two separate monitors).

Review: Montage Elite Massage Chair

By Steve Esquire

We present this massage review for those interested in learning more about the Omega Montage Elite massage chair. The Montage Elite is one of the high end massage chairs made by Omega. We will make an evaluation of the important features, functions and warranty coverage of this massage recliner. Here is our review of the Omega Montage Elite massage chair recliner.

It is important to compare warranty coverage between models and also between brands. There can be some major differences in coverage. Massage chairs are increasing in complexity and sophistication. Warranty coverage is your insurance against any defects in materials or workmanship. Just like insurance, you hope you never need it, but just in case it is there.

What kind of warranty coverage do you get with the Montage Elite? Omega gives you 5 years on the frame. There is 3 years for both parts and labor. You also get 1 year of free parts shipping. One important part of warranty coverage is in-home service which is covered for the first 90 days you own the massage chair. This is solid warranty coverage for this high end luxury lounger.

Automatic programs are pre-programmed massages designed by the manufacturer to maximize the functions of the massage chair. The Montage Elite comes with five different automatic programs. Each of the five automatic programs is developed around a theme and includes the following: Activation, Relaxation, Vitality, Night and Morning. Activation and Vitality are more vigorous programs providing deeper massage therapy. Vitality is somewhat in the middle. Morning and Night are similar to warming up for Morning and warming down for Night.

There are also 4 manual massage techniques. The Montage Elite has kneading, tapping, finger press and shiatsu. These are further complimented with 6 manual back courses. You can choose from full back, lower back, middle back upper back, shoulder and neck. The shoulder and neck are unique to Omega. You can get the upper neck and base of the skull or the shoulders and the lower neck. These are very relieving for built up tension in those areas.

Your lower body is in for a treat with the Montage Elite. Omega incorporates an air compression style massage for the buttocks, hips, calves and feet. Air bags are used to deliver a compression style massage. The compression style massage uses a squeeze, hold and release pattern. This is very soothing and relieving for tight and sore muscles.

How about a nice stretch of the lower body? The Montage Elite delivers. The lower body traction system will stretch out your lower body. The stretch is activated which will raise the leg rest to a horizontal position. The leg rest then lowers to 3 different successively lower positions. This extends out your hips, thighs, knees and ankles. This helps improve your range of motion.

A therapy commonly used by physical therapists is the application of heat. Heat is known to aid in the reduction of swelling of muscle tissue and to increase the blood flow. The Montage Elite has incorporated heat into three parts of the massage chair. Each part can be controlled individually. There is heat in chair back, seat and the leg rest. Why not relax and tune out the world with the MP3 player. Download your favorite tunes onto the USB stick and slip on the headphones. Drift away as the massage chair works you over.

The Montage Elite has an attractive, contemporary design. It comes in black, dark brown and ivory. The arm rests actually lift up and allows for wheelchair access. This is an outstanding luxury class massage recliner. It comes with one of the best warranties in its class. There is a full range of massage therapy capabilities and complimentary features. If you are looking at a higher end massage chair, you owe it to yourself to check out the Omega Montage Elite massage chair.

LJ James On "Sons Of Anarchy"

By LJ James

I have just finished reviewing the 2nd episode of the new FX show "Son's of Anarchy". I have been a fan of the FX Show "The Shield" for years and I have to say, I have enjoyed "Sons of Anarchy" so far. The show has great bikes and lots of action!

As a Member of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club, I can see many mistakes already in the show. One thing that really surprised me is how people have reacted to the show and me personally. People who know I'm a member of a Motorcycle Club are asking me, "Are you guys really like that???" Most of these people have known me for years! This is just after a two episodes of "Sons of Anarchy" their wondering if I'm leading some kind of double life.

Can you imagine if a show about criminal killer Florists came out? Would people ask them if they where really like that? One fact of life about being a Biker I have come to except is, it's real easy for people to think of Bikers as the bad guys. It's always been that way. I wonder how many Cops had people ask them the same question when the Shield came out? I also wonder how many Cops who watch the Shield and know that show is fiction will watch "Sons of Anarchy" and think that's how Motorcycle Clubs really are! The show "Sons of Anarchy" is fiction and it is way over the top.

Son's of Anarchy is going to shine a lot of light onto the Motorcycle Club world. Where as the last 10 years have been all about Motorcycle Builders and has led to a lot of people getting into Motorcycle Riding, I believe the next 10 years will be all about Motorcycle Clubs. Now this show could be a good thing for Motorcycle Clubs if, in-between all the fictional action, it also focuses on the bond of Brotherhood Motorcycle Clubs are based on.

Although the opportunity for "Sons of Anarchy" to make a positive statement about Motorcycle Clubs by highlighting the good Motorcycle Clubs do and the positive impact that they have on their communities exists, I have a feeling the show will have a negative impact on Clubs, Independent Bikers, and the Motorcycle Community in overall.

All Motorcycle Clubs are going to need to keep their eyes wide open and watch any new prospects. MCs need to make sure that new prospects are there for the Brotherhood and betterment of the Club and the community, not to live out some misguided fantasy they may have seen on TV or in some Movie. Another big concern of mine is people who will just go out and throw on a set of patches and think they are the "Sons of Anarchy". The Motorcycle Club world is all about Respect and there is a serious protocol that is followed by all Clubs. I would not recommend violating that protocol in any way.

Motorcycle Clubs have spent the past 20 years working hard to shake the old biker gang stereotype of the 60's and 70's. Now that we have come close to accomplishing our goal, shows like "Sons of Anarchy" and the upcoming HBO show 1% are here to drag our image back into the muck. How far will these shows set us back? I would ask the producers of these shows, there sponsors, and everyone else out there to please remember that Brotherhood is what the Motorcycle Club world is truly about.

Review: "It's How Much You Keep That Counts" by Ronald R. Mueller

By Karin Russell

Taxes! They're a fact of life.Nobody likes filing them. The thought of it puts fear in the hearts of many.

I'm a home business tax professional and I was so happy to find this book! I have never found a book so all-inclusive yet written in lay person language. It is on the "must have" list for all my tax clients.

It's a fact that the US government promotes small at home businesses by giving them tax breaks. 'It's How Much You Keep That Counts not How Much You Make' describes what deductions are available to the home business owner and shows you how to get the most from them.

'It's How Much You Keep That Counts not How Much You Make' is written in plain English and is the best home based business tax deduction guide I have found on the market. It translates complicated tax-law jargon into words you can understand and apply to your home-based business without hiring a CPA.... Whether you're going to start or have already started your business, you need this book.

The most valuable resource in 'It's How Much You Keep That Counts not How Much You Make' are the precise Article in the U.S. Tax Code, or the specific Congressional Tax Law, or the exact Federal Tax Court Ruling that authorized it. That means when your tax preparer says you can't take a deduction you can give him the code to look up.

'It's How Much You Keep That Counts not How Much You Make' also has suggestions about how to keep track of your expenses in just a few minutes a day. Mr. Mueller tells you exactly what you need to back up your deductions so that even if the government should chose to examine your tax return you'll be able to pass with flying colors.

No tax loopholes, gray-areas or tax dodger strategies are discussed in 'It's How Much You Keep That Counts not How Much You Make'. All the deductions presented are legal deductions sanctioned by the US government to help small businesses grow. The book only explains how to maximize the deductions the government allows.

Mr. Mueller's book has been reviewed by one of the top tax attorneys in the U.S. as well as by the IRS. Not a single thing was challenged by either. That in itself attests to the book's accuracy and to its position as THE authorative guide to home-business tax law.

Here's a brief look at what you will discover inside this all inclusive book.

Chapter 1 Explanation of the two tax systems in the USA

Chapter 2 How to legally qualify for tax breaks

Chapter 3 Day to Day expenses that could become business deductions

Chapter 4 How to determine your business deductions within your home

Chapter 5 How to write off equipment purchased for your business

Chapter 6 How to get your family involved

Chapter 7 Car deductions

Chapter 8 What qualifies as a business trip

Chapter 9 Entertainment expenses that can be deducted

Chapter 10 Documentation and simple record keeping

Chapter 11 Audit proof your tax returns

Chapter 12 How to get more take home pay

Chapter 13 How to put it all together

Chapter 14 How to get more from your past tax returns

If keeping more of your hard earned income appeals to you, then 'It's How Much You Keep That Counts not How Much You Make' is for you.

To me this book contains the best home business tax deduction information on the market today. The references to the exact Congressional Law; the specific Article in the US Tax Code or Federal Tax Court Ruling which specifically authorizes the deductions is frosting on the cake!

The Citizen Dive Watch

By Ed J Price

In diving, safety is extremely important and that is why you should always be aware of the time. In order for this to be possible, your watch should have special features like increased resistance to pressure, easy read dials and added protection from salt water to avoid deterioration. A standard waterproof watch would not have most of these features but dive watches like the Citizen Dive watch would definitely have them.

A dive watch is important in ensuring a safe return to the surface for any diver as it keeps track of diving activity. But you can also have a dive watch that is not primarily just for diving but one that is stylish to wear and useful when having a good swimming competition with others. Citizen Dive watches has huge range of watches in all styles and will be the perfect choice for all occasions.

Choosing the Features

In terms of style and quality, you are certainly headed in the right direction if you have your eye on any citizen diving watch. But before deciding on your next Citizen dive watch, there are some important things to take into consideration.

First, you need to know how deep you want to go. Many of the Citizen diving watches start out waterproof when diving up to 200 meters. This is exceptional for scuba diving as long as helium gas isnt a requirement. In helium enriched environment, 300 meters should be considered instead which is also supported in many Citizen Dive models.

While each Citizen diving watch has its own style, they all have that common easy to read bevel, which is crucial for clear readability underwater when the divers time underwater needs accurate tracking. Some watches like the Citizen Promaster SST have a non-reflective crystal face that can be seen clearly when being glanced on.

To avoid being underwater for more than the intended time, it is crucial to take a glance at the time every now and then. The Citizen Promaster SST is the ideal choice as it has 24 hour timing with its chronograph accurate up to 1/1000th of a second which makes it ideal for racing purposes as well. There are also advanced Citizen Dive watches available for more serious divers who want to keep track of the number of dives that they have done.

Preferable Styles

There is wide range of watches, from luxury looking ones to the more sporty ones, available in the Citizen diving watch range. If you want a watch just for diving and standard wearing purposes then you can choose from the selection of lower end Citizen Dive watches that are available. But you can try the Citizen Promaster SST if you are going for a more professional look as its combination of analog and digital elements along with its stainless steel bracelet giving it an appealing look. This model has one downside in the sense that it may not be as rugged as other models but it makes up for that by saving you a great deal when special occasions happen as you wont have to change watches.

In conclusion, the perfect choice when looking for a watch that has good balance of features and excellent accuracy in time tracking would be the Citizen Promaster SST. All the other models of Citizen diving watches are also fully capable of meeting the requirements that are present in diving. All divers are highly encouraged to acquire a Citizen Dive watch as only Citizen Dive watches allow for a combination of the elements of accuracy, style, durability and versatility.

Convey Your Love with Special Valentines Gifts

By Romeo Dayz

Special Valentines gifts, what makes them special? Can you find them, how?

Difficult question, difficult answer. Special Valentines gifts should be well thought out and something from your heart. You gift could be free or it could be expensive, price is not the defining factor of a special Valentines gift.

What makes special valentines gifts, and how will you know if its the best choice for your loved one? The only person who is able answer that, is you. Special valentine gifts for one may not be the best Valentine gift for others. Things to think about are what he or she does for a living as well as how they enjoy spending their free time. The best valentines gift for an outdoors person would probably not be a person who stays inside a lot.

Unlikely to be impressed with some expensive trinket or novelty gift item that serves little or no useful purpose, is any person who spends a lifetime bellyaching about crass commercialism. A person who loves a novelty or gag gifts might think the same trinket is the best Valentine's Day gift.

To get special valentines gifts, figure out what the person values most to lead the way. A personal handwritten message inside a valentine card could be very important and special to some people. Everything needed to make personal and creative cards can be bought from stamping companies like Stamin' Up.

You will be sure to make them smile when they see special items and treats in a Valentines basket. Eating rare treats is something everyone enjoys. Ready made gift baskets are available, but assembling one yourself is very simple if you desire. Fill a basket with things that your loved one likes for a special valentines gift. You can include chocolates, flowers, foods, jewelry, teddy bear or maybe romantic lingerie. I'm sure you can think up somethings that would work. For beautiful simple wrapping of your basket, take colored cellophane wrapping and cover the entire special valentines gift, add a bow to the top.

A basket is a great idea for a pet owner or a single parent. Make a basket of treats and toys for a pet and or child of your valentine and hand deliver it. If you come bearing gifts for a child or a pet you may be surprised by an exceptional warm welcome.

A few dollars spent can bring a sparkle to your valentines eye with special valentine gifts. Select a few best loved photographs from your collection. In a special acid-free album, make copies of the photos and place them. Personalize each photo in the book for your valentine by adding anecdotal accounts about the photos or include versus. If you want to use acid free albums you can get then at business like Parker Album Company of Carson City, Nevada; or Archival Methods of Rochester, New York.

You can buy presents, or can make few brilliant and unique valentines gifts by your own creativity. The vital factor is to show your attention and thoughtfulness. Relationships are built on sharing and understanding-sharing can bring a lifetime of memories for you to share with your love. Special valentine gifts might just have the effect you want them to have.

Product Review: The Omega M 5000 DLX Massage Chair

By James Knolan

This is a review of one of the top massage chairs produced by Omega Massage. The M-5000DLX is going to be evaluated based on its ease of use, warranty coverage, ergonomics, key features and the effectiveness of its massage therapy. Our reviews are systematic and a chair can earn up to 20 points in each category. The sum of the categories then determines its overall rating. Let us take a look at how the M5000 DLX rates.

Warranty Coverage & Customer Service: We equate the warranty coverage to obtaining an insurance policy. It is something you hope you never need to use, but just in case it is critical to have it. You want to make sure you are adequately protected. Here is the warranty coverage for the Omega M5000 DLX: You get 5 year coverage on the frame of the chair; 3 years coverage on parts; 3 years coverage on labor; 90 days of in home technician service; and 1 year of shipping for parts. This is excellent warranty coverage. Omega also provides solid customer service and competent technical capabilities. We rate the warranty coverage and customer service for the DLX as a 19.

Comfort & Ergonomics: The purpose of a massage chair is to ease your aches and pains to facilitate relaxation and wellness. To accomplish this, a massage chair needs to be comfortable. Another important element to comfort is ergonomics or how well the chair is designed to fit your body and where key controls are located. The DLX comes in oxide leather which is very comfortable to the touch as well as durable. There are adjustable head and shoulder pillows to support the head and neck. All chair controls are located on the remote control. Everything can be operated from the remote, including changing the music and volume levels. The M-5000 gets an 18 in this category.

Ease of Use: One excellent trend with massage chairs is the number of new functions that are being integrated. The flip side of this is how easy or complicated is the chair to use? The M5000DLX comes with many advanced features such as an MP3 music player. The remote control allows for control of all the functions of the massage chair. The remote has automatic programs with large buttons. You can open the panel in the middle of the controller for the manual controls. These controls allow you to select the type of massage and the area to be massaged. These are well laid out and simple to understand and use. The M 5000 earns an 18.

Key Features: Here are the two key features of the DLX. The lower body air massage system and the 3 automatic massage programs for the back. The lower body air massage utilizes airbags to massage the buttocks, thighs, calves and feet. The seat massage provides an invigorating massage of the buttocks. The foot wells of the leg rest contain reflexology nodules that gently press up into the feet to stimulate full body relaxation. We mention the 3 automatic massage programs because the actual program sequence of these massages are outstanding. The automatic massages include: neck and shoulders, full back and lower back. What is impressive is the use of many massage techniques beyond the standard kneading and tapping. There are a variety of techniques by use of fast and slow motions that are very comprehensive and very relieving. The DLX gets an 18 for key features

Massage Therapy: We will state right off the bat that the M5000 DLX is the strongest and most penetrating massage chair on the market today. The DLX comes with layers of padding to soften massage. This allows those more sensitive to also enjoy the chair, but also more importantly it allows those that need a deep penetrating massage to obtain it now and in the future. The automatic pre-programs are perhaps the best designed massage programs available with techniques not available in other chairs. The lower body is covered with the air massage system which can target together or individually the feet, calves, thighs and buttocks. We give the DLX an 18 for massage therapy.

The M5000 DLX from Omega rates a 91/100 in our evaluation. We particularly like the contemporary design with the highly varnished wood armrests and wood grain side panels. Also, Omega uses top grain ox hide leather. This finely crafted massage chair also comes with a backlit LCD controller. You get one of the most penetrating massage therapies with this massage chair. The programming of the massage treatments is as good as it gets. For total relaxation, put on the headphones and relax with your favorite tunes with the built in MP3 player. This massage chair recliner is certainly a powerhouse of massage therapy that will give you years of comprehensive and effective relief.

Zink Imaging - Cost Effective Printing

By Matt Ryan

Zink Imaging, which stands for Zero Ink?, is the latest technology in printing. This technology opens up a completely new world in printing, allowing consumers to print without the need in a more costly manner. Zink Imaging was released in 2008, and over the next few years, will become increasingly available.

This being said, the technology is not ready to replace our existing way of printing. However, it is ready to replace the way you print images from your digital cameras and cell phones.

The combination of a Zink-enabled device, along with ZINK Paper, is needed to print with Zero Ink. The paper is the backbone of this concept, as it contains the secret ingredient to print gorgeous images.

Each piece of ZINK Paper? is embedded with thousand of dye crystals, which are invisible to the naked eye, and coated with a layer of polymer overcoat. If you compare a regular piece of printing paper with ZINK paper, there is no visible difference.

Each crystal has a pre-defined melting point - the point at which the crystal will form, into liquid state, and form a particular color. Zink-enabled devices have heating mechanisms that adjusts temperature - based on the color to be printed - which melts the crystals as it passes over each line in an image.

Polaroid was the first to begin inventing this fascinating form of printing. Their original concepts included the same type of paper, along with a product called PoGo. (PoGo is a printer that fits in your pocket, which will allow consumers to print directly from their cell phones and digital cameras.) Bankruptcy forced Polaroid to halt all development on this project. Four years later a few of Polaroid's old employees, began their venture as ZINK.

The partnership between ZINK and Polaroid will allow Polaroid to move forward with their "print on the go" concepts. The PoGo, specifically, is a palm-sized printing device that prints image sizes 2x3 inches.

Polaroid is not the only company to realize the advantage of such a technology, and the benefits of collaborating with Zink. Zink has also collaborated with Alps Electric Co, Ltd, Foxconn Technology Group, and TOMY Company, Ltd. The joint venture, of all these partners, provides a table foundation for a lucrative run with Zink Imaging!

Printing images, with the utmost quality, has been attempted by many other manufacturers. For most consumers, the quality found is decent enough to hang on their walls. However, there are many who are striving for more. Zink Imaging very well may be the solution. Not only is the paper of high quality, but it is more affordable as there is no longer a need to purchase cartridges, and then dispose of them. It not only offers economic stability for consumers, but ease of use as well.

Currently there is only one size of Zink Paper available - 2 inches x 3 inches (the exact size that Polaroid's PoGo can print). For a package of 10 sheets, you can expect to spend around $2.00.

The future, of Zink Imaging, is bright. Not only is it a fascinating technology, but it provides convenience for consumers. (Imagine printing the pictures, you just took at the park, right from a park bench.) Consumers are sold on ease of use and convenience, and this new technology offers both!
