Business > Sales Getting started with selling on eBay: 7 of 20

I'm new to the whole blogging/selling online experience, so please bear with me. I thought that, since I've been selling on ebay via Auctiva for the past month, it was time to commit to sharing the experience via blogging. In the beginning, when I first considered selling online, it was hard for me to start. I had always wan...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Changing seasons: 32 of 67

Seasons: A Time for Change Out in the midst of a long forgotten field peppered with fallen leaves turned black from the chilling breath of nature stands a lone tree. It no longer serves to give shade; it's limbs empty of life and color; the sun no longer its companion. It's only service now is a reminder of how cold and deso...

Entertainment > Movie Remakes & Adaptations I Am Legend: Comparing the book and movie: 1 of 1

Book & Movie Comparison Review I Am Legend Richard Matheson I listened to the audio version of the book as opposed to reading it, and I gotta say, this is one killer book!

Arts & Humanities > Horror, Mystery & Suspense Book reviews: Indelible, by Karin Slaughter: 1 of 1

Book Review Indelible Karin Slaughter I wanted something different. I've been browsing the aisles at my local Books-A-Million (BAM) store trying to find new authors; trying to branch out from the norm. Lately, I've been able to finally stray farther away from my meager list of two or three favorite authors into other literar...
Arts & Humanities > American Literature Book reviews: Hannibal, by Thomas Harris: 1 of 1

Book Review Hannibal Thomas Harris Not too long ago, I finished "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris (Paperback / Delta / May 2000 / $14.00 / ISBN 0385339488), and though I've never had a favorite author other than Stephen King, Thomas Harris is officially it. After just the first few chapters of "Hannibal", I knew I was in for a tre...
Entertainment > Musical Instruments Great online deals on quality guitar strings: 1 of 1

I recently bought 2 packs of acoustic guitar strings. The Portland Acoustic Phosphor Bronze set and the San Diego Acoustic 80/20 set; both light gauge. I've been using Phosphor Bronze strings for a while now and wanted to try 80/20's out again, so I decided to compare the two. That's when I found webstrings.com. I couldn't b...

First of all, this book is packed full of useful information. Steiner goes over the pros & cons of the various aspects of teaching music.
