Her performance was the shining star in a rather lifeless, dusty, and uninspired revival of the original production which thankfully avoided Broadway. Compare with the rollicking original recording and you will easily notice the lack of life, spirit and vibrancy in the new recording. The addition of A Friend to Me added nothing to the score but sluggish redundancy. ![]() Oh, Baby, the Places You'll Go!: A book to be read in Utero $6.99 My husband and I just read this book to our baby tonight after receiving it as a gift from friends. It couldn't be more adorable! If you are a Seuss lover, this book is a great little treat that refers to many of the best loved Seuss characters all while helping you get into the routine of reading to your child. It's never too early to expose your child to literature and this book is definitely a fun way to start. It is a small book but I fail to see the problem with that as it is meant to be a cute little gift item for use during pregnancy only. It's about the size of a small board book - about 4x6". I will be purchasing this book and sharing it with friends as they begin their own families - it's the perfect congratulatory gift! ![]() Garmin n¸«ävi 765/765T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) $362.49 After having used the 760/780 for a year I picked up this unit for my wife to use. I had it on order for a 4 days and it didn't ship even though it was in stock. Had the option to cancel that order and I reordered when it hit $189 and chose two day shipping and it shipped right away, annoying, but I digress. The unit arrived in perfect condition except for a few fingerprints which easily wiped off, and included all accessories. I was able to register the unit on the Garmin website, and was offered a free map upgrade. Things that differ from the 760: - bar along the top - instead of displaying the upcoming crossroad, the 765 displays the street you are driving on. Pretty useless. I would much rather have it display the upcoming crossroad. - Upcoming turn arrows in the top left are a nice addition. - The 765 still displays your current speed on the lefthand tag when navigating a route. On the 760 - that vanished and was replace with something else when on a route. - The righthand tag can be customized to display the ETA, current time, or elevation. - Zoom in / out buttons are now both located on the righthand side, as is the shortcut button for the mp3 player. The mp3 button is quite small. - Lifetime traffic works well and was timely on my commute home last night. Unit correctly anticipated traffic and routed me around it. - Bluetooth does not work as well as the 760. Had great difficulty pairing with a Motorola W385. I eventually did after several tries, but will not download the contacts. I need to "connect" every time I turn on the nuvi. My old 760 had no problem and connected automatically once the phone was in range. - FM transmitter was initially very weak (as is the one on the 760) but I discovered that if you go into the service screens (Press and hold the battery icon) - you can set the transmitter to "High Power" and it works much better. It is now quite acceptable. - Battery does not last long at all on the 765. Low battery comes on in about 20 minutes with the screen set to full brightness. You can gain run time by setting the screen dimmer. -Screen smoothness / refresh rate and icons are much nicer than on the 760. Screen also seems easier to see in sunlight. - The 765 acquires satellites much quicker. - speaker is louder on the 765. I could barely hear the 760. - 3D building view is pretty cool. - Have not seen the junction view yet, though I have only used it for a few days. - Both units support multi point routing which is a major consideration if you want to force the route to be where you want. I use the Nuvis on my motorcycle and seldom want to take the most direct way but rater specify which scenic or twisty roads I want to ride to get there. Either the 760 or 765 will do that for you. Overall the 765 is a nice improvement, though the weak bluetooth, short battery life, and lack of upcoming crossroads are the major drawbacks. Pluses are a nicer looking screen / graphics, fast acquisition time, and better FM transmitter (once set to "High Power) |
