Christian Music - free, free mp3

I LOVE listening to them and this free song was so wonderful to find. I don't have this CD. When I put in their music I find I can't help but stop and just be. I love their sound...I love how I can listen to them and really connect with God. Beautiful. Thanks for the free song! How Great Is Our God

The first half minute or so is pretty good but it soon deteriorates. The volume is inconsistent, with bursts of annoyingly loud singing. Even with a low volume setting, the song's screamy aspect makes it hard to focus on the lyrics. The singing quality is insufficient for the primary singer's style of adding much emphasis that flows against the music. At the time of my writing this, the mp3 is a lengthy 5:47 but the song nevertheless gets cut off before it completes.

I love this song, whenever I hear it I just want to lift my hands to the Lord God in praise and thanksgiving. What an amazing song that really makes you think of how Great our God really is! God Bless you for reading this and I hope you'll take the time and download and listen to this song - play it for your friends, family and everyone you know. Be a light shining brightly in the darkness. Lift up your hearts! Lift them up to the LORD!

I downloaded it to figure out how to get the MP3 on my phone before I bought some of my favorites from Steve Green. In the process I learned I needed to use the downloader, and ended up with a song that is great at any price. The song and her voice is indistinguishable from the very best out there. WOW!

First of all, Kimberly Rivera's voice is soaring and powerful and expressive, she really lets loose when she sings. I haven't heard anyone exactly like her. Her husband Alberto is excellent on the piano. This is a very worshipful, inspiring rendition of this song.

Their other songs are also highly recommended, they usually write their own material, whereas this is a cover of a popular worship song by Chris Tomlin.

Just a note that this song cuts off at the end where it is supposed to flow seamlessly into the next song on the album. I haven't bought the Deeper Still album yet but I may. I have their The Collection and The Longing albums and they are both quite good. I would describe them as free-flowing, meditative, "new age" sound worship. Good for "soaking" prayer. Some songs (such as Royalty) build to dramatic climaxes that give me goose bumps.

This song is captivating, seriously. What an amazing voice this woman has (and his is very nice too). It enticed me to purchase some of their CD's and I have not been disapointed in any of them. I would prefer that Alberto, I assume it's Alberto, would cut down on his "verbal coaching" during the songs & music. It interrupts the spiritual flow and fibe...with her voice & the cool music you do not need any coaching...it provokes emotion without it. - Free Mp3 - Praise - Free - Worship'

Birthday Gift - travel, tote bag

Visit Store Now !!

I bought the Garden/Leaf green tote, and it's the perfect sized work bag. Love the color and design- even cuter in person. it's got flowers and little birds on it. the water bottle pouch is a nice size, too. Happy about the key holder in the little internal pocket.

Holds my purse, a book, lunch, knitting, and a few files with a little room to spare.

Overall great value for the price. Exactly what I was looking for. High Sierra Abigail Tote Bag Backpack, Black

I purchased two of these bags on the 8th Feb and they were promptly delivered to my door in Australia by the 18th Feb. A 10 day delivery for an international destination is pretty fantastic!!! Back to the bags themselves!! I couldn't decide between the Black bag and the one with the Tree print, so I decided to be daring and get both!! What girl couldn't use an extra bag right?! Both are really well made, nicely lined with grey nylon lining fabric with handy mesh pockets, one for your drink bottle the other with a zip for keys, purse, whatever. The straps are just the perfect length for over the shoulder or to carry by your side. The size is perfect not too big not to small, just right!!. There is also a large pocket on the outside if the bag which will be very handy. The Black bag is made from a nicer nylon fabric which has a self pattern all over like tiny honeycomb, you cannot see this in the photos, but it makes the bag just that bit nicer than the bag with the tree pattern, not that there is anything wrong with it. If I had just ordered the Tree patterned bag I would have been just as happy, now I have two lovely bags I can alternate on different days..

I wanted to use this as a swimming bag for my daughter. It is just big enough and can hold

a change of clothes and towel as well as a shampoo bottle in a small inside pocket.

There is also a separate pocket for earplugs, keys and the likes. It still has space left to hold

another towel! The flat, wide outside pocket can hold a small book for me to read.

I bought the blueprint cartoon clouds and it is true to color and lovely.

The material feels waterproof and is nice with a matte sort of finish.

Good purchase from Amazon. Item arrived on time in good packaging.

I was looking for a good bag to bring my lunch, papers, and misc. stuff to work and also durable enough to clean if I spill something liquid. This is PERFECT! I got the black and white design, and it is so cute. I would use it as my purse, too. It's perfect if you're prone to spilling things, too, since it's nylon/polyester. I can wipe it down and not worry about stains.

I use this bag to transport things back and forth for my daughter's daycare. But, I find myself using on the weekend as a general tote bag as well. It has a mesh pocket for a bottle and is nice and roomy for her things. I bought the White & Black Trees & it looks gorgeous in person. The picture does not do it justice! I was also pleasantly surprised that it had a flat, large pocket in the front underneath the logo.

Overall, wonderful tote bag. Good construction! Good value for under $20!

I bought this bag to use as my purse during the school year so that I can toss in my notebooks for the day and go. I foresee it being a great multi-purpose bag! I do wish it had more pockets and maybe a zipper or velcro closing, but it has more pockets than most tote bags I've seen. It stands up well on its own with what I carry in it (wallet, notebooks, binders, cosmetic bags, water bottle...)I'm especially pleased that the water bottle pouch is suitably deep to fit any of my water bottles (except it would be too narrow for a Nalgene). I bought the garden/leaf green one and the design is even cuter in person! - Travel - Women - Tote Bag - Tote'

Patricia Walden - yoga dvd, yoga for beginners

Visit Store Now !!

I originally purchased this in VHS format. This is a very good program for absolute beginners, as I was when I started with it. However, even after using the program frequently enough that I have literally memorized it, I find that I enjoy it enough that I continue using it almost daily, although I now also have other sources of instruction. The program does progress slowly and does not focus much on the breathing, although there are breathing cues given at specific points. However, for someone who is just beginning to explore yoga, slowness is a benefit, not a drawback, and there is enough to worry about when trying to align the poses correctly without also worrying about trying to breathe in a specific manner, and the Iyengar yoga style in general reserves breath control beyond just trying to remember to breathe regularly and evenly for people above the raw beginner level. Patrica Walden does a very good job of explaining the basics for each pose, and if you read the booklet which comes with the DVD or the tape, you get a much more detailed description of each pose, as well as suggested modifications and suggested variations to try on your own. At first, if you are anything like I was (in pretty decent shape, relatively young - ok, 31 when I started with it - and not overweight but not the most flexible person on earth either), you will WANT the slowness, because you will be very tired, sore, and out-of-breath in between poses. Once you begin working more comfortably in the poses, you can use the fast-forward and skip buttons on the DVD remote in order to speed up the program and make things faster and more of a workout. Plus, the poses selected are a very good set of basic poses, primarily standing poses, and they quickly begin to build up your strength and flexibility, which makes the program a very good program to begin with. Also, almost all of the poses can be done entirely without props, although they will likely help, and the props which you will likely want can be fairly easily substituted with household items (i.e., blocks, a strap, and a chair), unlike some of the other beginner programs I have seen which utilize large bolsters in addition to blocks and a strap. In fact, I recommend this particular program so highly that I recently gave it to my own mother when she expressed an interest in exploring yoga, and I have recommended it to several friends. A complementary DVD is Yoga Basics, also by Patricia Walden, which gives more seated poses and twists. Although there is some overlap with this DVD, the two are worth having together. As for the bonus Yoga for Flexibility program, I thought it was made fairly clear that those poses are fairly advanced ones not intended for beginners, but I like having the program on the DVD because it gives me something else to work with once I have become more of a master of the other poses.I do recommend getting this program on DVD rather than VHS, especially with good single-disc DVD players down way under the $... mark and cheap adapters available at Radio Shack for those of us with elderly TVs. The DVD makes the program easier to fast-forward through when you are ready to work at a faster pace, and I wore the video tape just about out after using it nearly every day for months. Yoga for Beginners

I've taken a few Iyengar yoga classes, so the material on this DVD wasn't new to me. If you are interested in getting started with yoga I would suggest taking an instructor-led class, as the instructor will be able to give you immediate feedback on your poses. Trying to copy what an expert is doing on TV is difficult at best, and you could end up hurting yourself.

Having said that, I found this to be the best DVD on yoga among the ones I've seen. Even the short opening sequence where Ms. Walden does a series of poses in Death Valley is worth watching on its own. I found her to be a good instructor, not too spacey but also warm and pleasant to watch. Don't miss the bonus interview with Patricia, as she gives some good pointers about maintaining a practice.

If you've never done yoga before, you might find some of her instructions bizarre, like "Soften the throat". In my Iyengar yoga class several years ago the instructor said the same things, so when I heard Patricia repeat them I realized that this is part of the Iyengar program. And I've also discovered that many of the seemingly odd comments are actually useful for making yourself aware of what your body is telling you, even after the session is over.

At first I was a little put off by the extended instruction given during the exercises, which others have pointed out makes this not a workout DVD at all. I disagree--you can either skip over those parts or continue holding the pose while the instruction is going on. This is something you would have to experience during a beginner class anyway, so get used to interruptions when you're first getting started.

Also, don't expect to be able to do the poses exactly the way the instructor does them (or even close). Find your own limits and don't push yourself too hard to go beyond them. This is not a competition; it's about relaxing and feeling good about yourself, no matter what your ability level.

In short, don't expect Patricia's DVD to answer all your questions about yoga, but it's a useful tool that you can use to increase your flexibility, calm your nerves, and improve your life. Namaste.

This DVD contains two yoga programs that have been reviewed in VHS format: *Yoga Journal's Yoga for Beginners *Yoga Journal's Yoga for Flexibility. The Yoga for Beginners DVD is loaded with over 3 hours of content. The DVD format provides flexibility in using the programs for practice - fixing one of the complaints reviewers had with the VHS format of the program. For example, the programs have sub-menus that allow you to skip the prologues (i.e. Patricia Walden practicing backbends in Death Valley) and there's a section of the DVD main menu that allows you to choose poses to practice without watching the entire program. Yoga for Flexibility and a nice interview with Patricia Walden are located in the "Bonus" menu of the DVD. There's also a booklet that describes each pose demonstrated in Yoga for beginners. All in all this is an excellent introduction to Yoga practice and a lot of programming at an extraordinarily reasonable price. - Yoga Dvd - Yoga For Beginners - Beginners Yoga - Iyengar Yoga'

Dewalt Battery

Visit Store Now !!

A friend has converted me to a Dewalt believer over the last few years. And I've always loved his 18V cordless drill. When I spotted this set on sale I couldn't pass it up!

The drill is a 3 speed, 3 mode, adjustable clutch, locking keyless chuck MONSTER of a cordless drill. Three selectable speed ranges lets you maximize availble torque to suit material and application. I have mine in the middle range which suits most applications. Three modes: Screw, Drill, Hammer... The screw mode engauges the clutches to avoid stripping your heads. With 23 clutch settings I think you'll find the right one for your fasteners. Drill mode disengauges the clutches and lets you run your bits without changing your clutch setting. The final mode is Hammer Drill mode for masonry drilling. You gotta love that! I've never seen a keyless chuck that works like this. Holding the cylinder and turnin the chuck unlocks it then spinning the cylinder will tighten or loosen the jaws. Once the jaws are tight, turn the chuck again to lock. NICE! I couldn't be happier with this drill!!!

Also in this set are two 18V XRP DC9096 Ni-Cad batteries and a one hour charger. The packs aren't that much larger than the 15.6V I'm used to with my previous drill but definitely offer much more power. They are heavy but not so much that you care. The one hour quick charger is mode protected to prevent over charging and even has an indicator to tell whether it's charging, complete, or even if their's a problem with the battery. One word about your batteries...keep them charged ALL OF THE TIME. Batteries tend to devlop issues if they'll left in discharged state. Fully charged batteries will have better overall performance and a longer life. I just put mine on the charge every month or so to top them off.

6.5" Circular Saw. I haven't cut anything with it yet but I have an up and coming project involving 1/2" ply, 2x4s, 2x6s, and 4x4 porch spindles. I'll let you know how it did. As for the physics of it. It feels like a beast. A good heavy motor and cast body. It has a nice lever lock for the depth adjustment and nob lock for for the angle.

Reciprocating Saw... Again haven't cut anything with it yet, but soon. It feels good in the hand. With a pack inserted it feels about the same weight as my 7.5amp Craftsman. I have high hopes for this little beauty.

4" Angle Grinder... This and the price difference were the reasons I went with this set over the 4 tool set. I caught this one on sale and the difference was less than $50. I wasn't sure how this thing was going to work but man am I impressed. It comes with one thin cutoff wheel and it does DAMAGE. I used it to cut some 1.25" x 1/8" thick angle steel to length. It went thru it nearly as fast as my 7" 13 amp grinder. You can feel the torque! The safty sroud is fully adjustable for the best angle with a lever tensioner. The stablizer handle can be mounted on either the right or left side. There's not much more to say about it. Great for those little jobs and in tight spaces.

On to the "what's with this?" category. The impact driver I'm not as impressed with but then I wasn't expecting much or even really to use it. I thought I read somewhere it puts out 400 in-lbs of torque. I'm not even sure it this converts but assuming there's not some strange law of physics I'm unaware of that's something like 33-ft-lbs? Okay... But I suppose if your lazy or you have TON of little bolts to take off that are rusted on, then maybe...

Update 4-28-2011: I recently installed a full glass storm door on my parent's house. I used the drill to pre-drill the three dozen or so holes in the project. I finally figured out that the impact driver has a locking collet and is actaully a "impacting" screw gun. And surprisingly it works really well. It made short work of this project and I had NO...NOT ONE issue with rounding my screw heads. All-in-all VERY impressed!

The light is...well a light. Though I can say it's strong and bright! Honestly, I would prefer LED just because I hate wasting my battery power on these little portable space heaters. Seriously, if your cold stand in front of this thing for a minute, it'll warm you up. That said if power's no where to be found, this will light up your little corner of the universe.

It comes also with a nylon bag that once closed is just about busting with your new toys. It's not really heavy duty nylon but at the same time it should be fine. It also comes with a few accessories. As I mensioned before a single 4" cutoff wheel for your grinder. It also comes with one 16 tooth carbide blade for your circular saw and a tool to install it.

All in all, the price is amazing and so is this set. If you casual hobbist or a professional contractor you should be equaly impressed. These are battery tools and as such aren't going to be as strong or reliable as your bigger corded models. But trust me, if for no other reason than sake of ease, these will be the ones I grab first. DEWALT DCK655X 18-Volt XRP 6 Tool Combo Kit with Impact Driver

I originally wanted a Makita set but the price on the Dewalt was too good. Having used Makita for years I'm super impressed with the Dewalt gear, the light built into the drivers is brilliant, power is great, function is top notch. The angle grinder is surprisingly powerful as is the circular saw, and the light which folds out on it's gooseneck is perfect for late night BBQ's!

I come from a Makita family and had always planned on getting a Makita tool set. While I was at Home Depot these power tools were on sale, and my wife surprised me with them. It has been over 2 years and I am so glad she did. I love (LOVE) my Dewalt power tool set. I use the drill most frequently (of course) but I can't even count how many times the grinder has been the perfect tool for whatever job I have been working on. I try and take care of my stuff, but I have dropped my tools several times and they still work great. This has been such a great purchase and I absolutely recommend them to anyone.'

Cordless Drills - 18v, drill

Visit Store Now !!

I'm a contractor and our company specializes in erecting condos so we are more than familiar with our power tools. When I first started my job I invested in this DeWalt drill since EVERYONE has one. After using it for a while I feel that it is not all that it is hopped up to be, the battery life sucks and I had to replace the battery after a couple months because it stopped holding its charge. After trying out others I would recommend Makita for the price and performance, also do stay away from Ryobi that brand of power tools is a joke (I would get it for my learning teen but not for professional use). DEWALT DC720KA Cordless 18-Volt Compact Drill/Driver

As a matter of full disclosure, I am using this drill as a DIY homeowner on minor projects. This drill was my upgrade into the world of pro-grade power tools from a cheapo 14.4V Black & Decker drill. I upgraded primarily because I was frustrated by having to drill pilot holes for lag screws all the time due to the lack of power. Furthermore, my former so-called variable speed drill only had two speeds, namely 400 or 800 rpm, nothing in between so I was constantly stripping screw heads. After doing some serious research into Makita, Milwaukee, Hitachi, and Dewalt, I chose Dewalt. Why? Because of the power and construction of the tool. Dewalt uses its own measurement of torque (Unit Watts Out) whereas most other companies list max torque in ft-lbs. In my opinion, I best equate UWO to the amplifier rating in audio receivers. In receivers, many companies list their amplifier rating with only one channel driven. Rarely do companies list amplifier rating with all channels driven. UWO, to me, is Dewalt's real world sustained torque rating like all channels driven in an amplifier. So for this drill, although Dewalt lists it at 410 UWO, I think this probably equates to nearly peak torque of at least 450 ft lbs if not more. Also, I really liked the fact that Dewalt uses all-metal gears and it has solid magnet construction in its motor.

For whatever reason, although most companies have wholeheartedly embraced the Lion technology, Dewalt has chose to slowly move into it and, thus, still has a large portion of tools with NiCd batteries. I really debated about the whole NiCd v Lion thing. But really, for my purposes, I doubt I will be using the drill so much that I will use up 2 batteries. I really think having a back-up battery negates the charge time issue. Of course there's the weight issue, but again, for me, a difference in weigh of 6-8 oz is not a game breaker.

The closest drill to the DC720KA was the Hitachi DS18DSAL. Really solidly constructed drill with good power. Unfortunately, from a purely superficial standpoint, the Hitachi looks like a toy with the green molding. So I went with the Dewalt. In terms of real world performance, really happy so far. Was able to drill 2" long - 1/8" dia. screws into studs without a pilot, no problem. This sucker has power. Really like the LED light. The added heft of the NiCd gives the drill really good balance. Trigger felt right and was able to modulate speed very accurately (true variable speed!). I hope this review helps because other reviews just seem to spout off Dewalt sucks or "it's not lithium so it sucks" type comments.

I bought one of these about 6 months ago, used it and gave away to my brother in-law.

A week ago I bought a Ridgid R86007N which is identical to the DeWalt DC720KA except here is where the Rigid beats the DeWalt in all categories.

(1) Tested driving large screws into 2x4's The Rigid was able to sink the screw deeper with less effort.

(2) The Rigid is lighter by 1 lb. Less Hand fatigue.

(3) The Ridgid is more compact and smaller with more power.

(3) The Rigid uses a 18V Lithium-Ion Battery instead of a 18V Ni-Cad Battery. There no comparison between the Lithium-Ion which leaves a Ni-Cad in the dust. It has more power, lasts longer and takes shorter time to charge.

(4) The DeWalt has 3 or 5 year warranty. The Ridgid has a life-time Warranty.

For a manufacture to give a Life-time warranty speaks for itself in the confidence of quality in the product.

(5) There other minor advantages, but the con is, the Ridgid doesn't come with a Case. So I bought 2ea Husky cases for $9.98 a pair, while on sale.

Both the DeWalt and the Ridgid were on Sale for $99.00 ea. at Home Depot (2010 after Black Friday sale). I don't know how long the sale will last. Even though I have a workshop full of both DeWalt & Ridgid tools I feel one should give credit when credit is due.

This drill is exactly what I was looking for, small, relatively light, and has lots of power. The light onthe front is a great feature and the one handed chuck is great. It also uses my 18v XBR batteries as well...a nice feature if you are going to take it out somewhere.

The Drill is OK and my husband liked it OK. However, when I called the vendor and asked for specifics I was told it was a Lithium battery and on that basis I ordered it. When it came, it was a Nikad battery instead which is heavier. I was very disappointed. The drill itself is well made but I was not happy with the misinformation given me. I would not have purchased it if I had known. When I went back on-line to see what happened, I saw on the info sheet of the product that it said Nikad, but in the phone conversation in comparing various tools, I took good notes and I had specifically asked the rep if it was lithium which he said it WAS. Not good communication on his part or truthful. :( Service I would give only one star.

Bought this for my farmer/trucker husband who has no tools actually at the house because they're all on the truck or at the farm! Comes in super handy for all the curtains & pictures we've hung as well as putting together furniture, fixing bathroom fans, etc. Came with extra battery pack & carrying case: AWESOME! Great price too! - Drill - 18 Volt - 18v - Dewalt'

Ipod Accessory - kindle games, word games

Visit Store Now !!

Most of us grew up playing this game in some form or fashion - I can remember being in the back of the car on a long trip with a large pad of paper with a 100 square grid playing with my sister. We were usually good to be a little more quiet for ten minutes or so until one or the other would get frustrated with losing, or gloating a little too much with winning.

This game is pretty basic, with a 4 x 4 grid no matter what level you choose (easy, medium, hard): it would be nice if you could get a 10 x 10 grid, as the 4 x 4 grid goes really fast. I didn't find too much of a difference in the computer's level of play between the medium and the hard version. The speed of the game, in terms of how fast does the computer move as well as you being able to make your next move, is pretty good as compared to some of the other games I've played on the Kindle.

If you're looking for a quick "get away" game for your Kindle, you're probably going to like this and the price (free) is certainly worth it. Go ahead and pick it up and give it a try! Dots and Boxes

This game is fun and just like the one I played as a kid (and with my kids). I played my first few games on Medium against the computer and won them all fairly easily. Then I tried the Hard setting. Wow! The Kindle is really smart and very tricky. I played 3 or 4 games on Hard and haven't been able to beat the Kindle yet. I must say, it's a little frustrating.

All games are in a grid 5 dots across and 5 dots down, making for 4 boxes x 4 boxes. It would be fun to be able to play on a larger grid, but navigation might get difficult if the grid was too much bigger (thus making the boxes, dots, and lines smaller to fit on the screen). Navigation and game play is fairly simple and easy to get used to with instructions at the bottom of the screen to let you know what to do to select a line to draw. You use your arrows on the 5-way controller to arrow over to the box you want to draw the line in. The boxes are clearly outlined so there is no question what box you are playing. Once you are in the box you want, you select it by pushing the middle of your 5-way controller. Then arrows are displayed inside the box, showing you which lines are available for you to draw. You then arrow in the direction of the line you want to draw and the line is drawn. It's that simple. If you close a box, your "symbol" (either an elephant or a lion) is put in your box.

You can choose a 2 player pass and play version but i haven't tried that yet.

All in all this is a simple but fun game. Kids would like it especially on the easy or medium 1 player settings. Most definitely worth it for free!

Just like the paper version, however only a 4x4 square. Play against the computer or with 2 players. Keeps a running tally of victories. Great for playing with young kids. Very quick response unlike some Kindle games. The Price is Right! $0.00.

I feel that this game makes very good use of the controls on the Kindle. It uses the five-point cursor in order for the player to select a slot to place a line. First, you use the five-way controller to select the "box" you want to place a stick, then you select whether you want to place the "stick" on the north, south, east, or west part. Due to the comfortable interface, it makes the game fun and easy to play.

My only concern is this game might get boring after a while if it is too easy, otherwise it's a very enjoyable game which makes good use of the buttons on the Kindle.

It's free, it's fun, and it makes you think about the moves you make. After three or four games, I finally tied the Kindle on Hard. After the fifth or sixth game, I finally won. A fun and challenging game, I only wish the board could be bigger.

This fun little game is an amazing throwback to my childhood. Who didn't play this at some point as a kid when you should've been paying attention in class? In this game, you are trying to close the majority of boxes before your opponent can. You can play against the computer, or another person on the same Kindle. This is a great for passing a few minutes - I have played it several times when waiting to walk out the door for work. And it's free!

I never played this game as a kid, and after reading the reviews that others played it as a kid, I'm starting to wonder if I lived a sheltered life.

Regardless, the game is pretty cool - trying to beat the Kindle is a bit difficult - at Medium level, I'm getting beat regularly, but it makes for a nice distraction from reading. It would also make for a good game with kids that are say, under 8 (versus the other Amazon games) because it doesn't involve cards or gambling, but non-threatening lions and elephants.

It's free, so if you don't like it, then delete it. It's hard to argue with the value of something that's free.

My 6 year old son and I downloaded this and were instantly yelling out loud "lion" and "elephant." The game is faster and funner than paper. The graphics are georgeous. A great lead in to our reading time... Maybe a little "Life of Pi" Thank you.

This is a great game since I was little. My dad was the first one to teach me and now they made agame of this on the Kindle. This is a good game to pass the time. You can play with your friends or against the Kindle. You will never get bored of this or at least I don't. I remember playing against my dad and how he used to let me win but, now that I'm older he tries to win but sometimes he can't. I now play with my sister an it's getting difficult because we know a lot of little tricks to get the other one stuck. You can even learn tricks to get the Kindle stuck too. You will enjoy this game a lot. I sometimes play against my mom. I haven't bet her yet but, some day I will.Playing against my brother was easy but, playing against the Kindle was a lot harder if your playing difficult/hard. For one thing it's free and another thing its a great game to play. - Word Games - Kindle Active Content - Kindle Games - Games'

Automatic Self Wind - stuhrling, automatic self wind

Visit Store Now !!

I recently found myself needing to replace my trusty 10 yr old Seiko Kinetic. I have always enjoyed watches and rely on them so this was not a hasty purchase. After many hours of hunting and research I finally decided to buy the Stuhrling Original Raven Diablo (Silvertone) from Amazon. So far this has turned out to be an excellent decision and I am extremely pleased.

I had no specific brand in mind when I began my research-I simply wanted an affordable timepiece that met the following criteria:

-automatic mechanical movement

-rubber adjustable strap

-water resistance

-luminescent hands and markers

-quality crystal

-interesting (might as well enjoy it too, right?)

It is very clear to me that Stuhrling Original aims to make the purchase of a new watch a special event for the "common man". This was clear to me before the watch was even out of the box as the packaging is very nicely done. Not necessary, but certainly appreciated.

The movement thus far has proven to be very accurate and lost only 11 seconds the first 24 hrs and only 2-7 seconds over each 24 hr period since-excellent accuracy for a mechanical watch out of the box and better than I could have hoped for. The black silicone-like rubber strap is robustly built, very soft, flexible and "grabby" so the strap keepers actually work. I am extremely happy with the readability in the dark. My concerns in this area were put to rest the first night when after only 2 hrs out-of-box in moderate household lighting the hands and markers were still very visible following 8 hrs sleep.

The watch is very ruggedly built and I feel that the quality is outstanding for the price paid. I have received many comments on the watch and find myself looking at it more often than is really necessary. I definitely like the fact that it's a skeleton, and the moving parts are visible. There are a lot of nicely done details and I especially like the use of skeleton-ized carbon fiber on the dial and the black PVD coated case. I should also note that the bezel has a finely brushed stainless steel appearance and is shinier than what appears in some of the photos.

One potential drawback for some is the fact that this is NOT a small watch and with the grippy nature of the strap can create issues when donning/wearing tighter long sleeves. A minor issue for me, but one worth being aware of.

Time will tell in regards to durability and longevity of the watch but I am expecting good things. I'm extremely happy with this purchase to this point and feel that this timepiece is an excellent value. Stuhrling Original Men's 179A.331613 Sportsman 'Raven Diablo' Automatic Watch

Always have thought of Stuhrling watches as a bit of a joke but I couldn't ignore the design of this piece. It is a stunnin, skeleton movement in the vain of Bell & Ross watches and a fraction of the price. I own Tags and Omegas and this easily holds its own in terms of presence and design.

For $200 whats not to love?

To the service department of sturling,

July 14, 2009, I purchased a Sturling Raven Diablo watch. This past February I sent in my to be serviced because something seemed to be loose in the movement. Keep in mind, the watch was not even 1 year old and was returned to me 4 weeks later, fixed? Today October 8, 2010, to my surprise, my watch stopped working and when I pulled the pin to set the watch before winding, the pin came all the way out and the watch still does not work after manually winding it. !!! This is disappointment and unfortunately reflects badly on your product line. I am afraid to send in my timepiece because I should not waste another $20.00 and the fear that something else will go wrong.

I cannot in good faith every buy a sturling product or recommend one to someone looking for a quality timepiece.

Sincerely,

Todd Shrager

So apparently I got mine as it is being phased out. I had to spend about 20 minutes on Google searching for a site that still had black in stock. Amazon has the black/silver, but I just like the all-black better and it was worth the search for me. That being said, if the all-black was totally gone and I had to get the silver/black, I'd still be happy as a pig in slop. First, the watch is clearly a "knock-off" of the Bell & Ross. One big difference: this watch costs 5% or less of what the B&R costs. So, is it the same quality? No. Is it the same fit and finish? No. But it's sure as heck a lot more than 5% of the quality and fit and finish. Probably closer to 50% fo the quality and 60-65% of the fit and finish. So the way I see it, I got $2,000 worth of watch for $200. I'll take that. This watch is big and relatively heavy, but I am surprised at how comfortable it is on my wrist. Since I have not had it long, I cannot speak to the durability, but for now I am extremely happy.

DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS!!!

I am a watch collector and own several rare watches that i treasure. I was looking for something special. I always thought i wanted a watch with carbon fiber, but i was not impressed with what is offered on the market. Prices for Carbon Fiber-faced watches seem to range between the $500 - $15,000 range. But that wasn't the main issue for me. The main issue is how to you blend the Carbon Fiber with the technical aspect of an Automatic Watch? How to bring something Traditional and Modern together? I never liked the solutions i saw from Firms such as OMEGA, TAG HEUER, RAYMOND WEIL, BELL&ROSS, PANERAI, but to name a few....then i saw this watch! UNBELIEVABLE!! so beautiful in every detail. The pictures do not do this watch justice! I chose this version with the aluminum because it looked very technical and sporty and i liked the contrast. I love every detail of this watch. My personal preference is to have a leather band, as i do not like Rubber Straps. But, once again, even the Rubber Strap of this watch is special... it isn't a one-dimentional strap. It has detail, depth, character. It looks like the strap was chiseled out of a solid block of rubber. I really must say, the detail level on this watch is extraordinary. Even the screws that fasten down the crown have a special 'S' pattern to them that i did not notice before. The box and presentation (packaging) of this watch is also of the highest level.

I would have paid much more for this watch.

Not that it is important to me, but everyone that sees this watch asks me about it.... much more then my Omega's on Panerai watches that i own. - Skeleton Watch - Stuhrling - Automatic Self Wind - Awesome Watch'
