One Lens Does It All
The DSC-S500 has a quality Sony lens that adjusts from 32mm wide-angle to 96mm telephoto setting (35mm equivalent), so it's great for room interiors, group shots, and panoramic landscapes as well as close-ups. And 3x optical/2x digital zoom performance lets you zoom in close or pull back for perspective--so you'll be able to cover vacation trips, holiday gatherings and special events with a more interesting range of shots.

In high school, Michael Crider was the jokester, the drummer in a band, the Howie Mandel impersonator. Fast-forward ten years and the funny man has married and become the family man. The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Fatherhood-Crider's candid, down-to-earth account of his transformation-proves that even without much sleep, he has kept his sense of humor completely intact.
From the moment he hears the unexpected news that the pregnancy test is positive to the end of his son's first year of life, Michael Crider is awed, anxious, and all-too-human. In between these milestones, he endures the aches and pains of his wife's pregnancy (which had a clear impact on his own bodily comfort), swallows his pride when bunny wallpaper replaces his beloved Budweiser mirror, has a short and only partially-appreciated stint as her labor coach on the Big Day, and experiences every one of his son's "firsts" as though they were his own. Honest, informative, hilarious, and heartwarming, The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Fatherhood is a must-read for all new parents.
This book gives parents a reason to laugh as Bob navigates the unexpected twists and turns of parenthood every mom and dad has experienced--such as that feeling of panic when you hear the toilet being flushed and immediately followed by your child's less than reassuring yell of "Uh-oh!" Or the admonition to your five-year-old of, "No, you can't have the leftover cotton candy for breakfast, even if you do pour milk over it."

Tim Bete understands that in the midst of the challenges of parenting there's always a chance to smile and recognize the miracle of the young life that is yours to care for.

This season's must-have accessory? Your music. Listen in style with iPod mini. Like any classic fashion icon, iPod mini goes with everything: Macs, PCs, sequins, and tees. And with up to 18 hours of battery life, it'll outlast the latest trend. Weighing in at just 3.6 ounces, iPod mini fits your lifestyle and your bag, whether it be cocktail purse or messenger duffle.
The chic, matte anodized aluminum case resists stains and scratches, all the while protecting your iPod mini—from, say, the jostle of overzealous paparazzi. Recessed in the case to keep its surface pristine, the 1.67-inch (diagonal) backlit screen displays full song and album titles, artists' names, and more. And iPod mini lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge:* enough for a transatlantic flight, the limo ride to your hotel, and a few solid hours of boutique shopping. Of course, iPod mini works just as well for your everyday pursuits. With up to 25 minutes of skip protection, you can even walk the dog in style.
Put on Some Tunes
So light and colorful, iPod mini yearns for the limelight. Indulge in a little scene-stealing yourself when you wear your music on your sleeve or around your neck. With optional accessories, including a stylish lanyard and mix-and-match armbands, your iPod mini becomes an ensemble essential. Wear it running a trail or walking the red carpet. iPod mini complements any look, from track suit to tiara.
Always striving for perfection, Apple engineers moved the iPod's buttons under the wheel. The iPod mini Click Wheel—complete with color-coordinated icons—takes best advantage of miniscule space and lets you scroll single-handedly through up to 1,500 songs from your iTunes music collection. You'll find such thoughtful construction only from Apple. Because, try as they might, the competition can't touch this.
Behind the Click Wheel of your iPod mini await features that make it the world's best digital music player. Listen to your music as you fall asleep, and wake up with music or an alarm. Store a copy of your contacts, calendar and to-do lists on your iPod mini. Or keep anything from store restaurant reviews to nightlife guides, and news articles to exercise routines—right at your fingertips.
This second-generation iPod mini has enhanced USB support with one simple connection for all Mac and Windows users. It embodies freedom and portability, allowing you to bring your favorite music everywhere you go and to everything you do.
