Sunland Traditions Collectible Dolls: Cody, Tasha, and Olo

Sunland Traditions is the home of the very popular collection of high quality collectible dolls. These tall figurines are definitely not toys. They are almost 2 feet tall and weigh over 10 pounds each. They come with their own wooden stands and apparel befitting each of their respective ethnic background. Cody, our most popular Sunland doll, has just returned to inventory after a long absence. He sells out quickly.

Cody is a Cowboy, dressed in his horse-riding attire. He is ready for riding the range clad in his real suede leather hat and chaps, real jeans (real jean material), real metal belt buckle and metal ornaments, silky smooth fine hair, and real looking eyelashes. Cody's face and hands are real porcelain. The detail displayed in this handsome piece is absolutely amazing. Cody weighs 12 lbs. and is 24 inches tall. Cody comes with a limited edition numbered certificate of authenticity.

When you look at her from the front you are in awe, but when you pick her up and turn her around... there is a baby in a papoose on her back all bundled up... cute as a button! Her hair is so silky fine you will think it is real. Olo measures 19" tall, weights 12 lbs. and, she comes with a limited edition numbered certificate of authenticity. Comes in a nice color display box. Her face and hands are real porcelain, and down to the fine details even her eyelashes
look real.

How Much Storage Capacity Do I Need?

Hello Media Buffs,
One of the first things you will discover in your endeavor to store all your media projects, which includes video, audio, and photographs, is that drive space disappears very quickly. Considering that the average photograph consumes about 0.1 megabytes, the average song uses 10 megabytes, and the average dvd movie gobbles up 3-4 gigabytes, it is quite easy to see how much disk capacity you will need to satisfy your requirements for storage capacity. As a practical example, suppose your DVD collection consists of 230 movies. Assuming 2.5 Gigabytes (GB) per movie, your collection would consume 575 GB. So the 2 TB My Book Essential from Western Digital would be a very good choice and at the same time, there would be plenty of excess drive capacity to expand your collection.
For the average individual, a minimum of 2 terabytes of storage should work quite well. I use the Western Digital My Book Essential 2 TB external drive, which is now on sale at DISCOUNT GIFTS ONLINE, for only $215, which includes free ground shipping and no sales tax...Great Deal!
In addition to media storage, the 2TB drive excels at computer file backup and complete systems backup and restore.

For the more demanding individual, the Western Digital 8 TB Sharespace hard drive will satisfy all data and media storage requirements at a very cost effective price of only $1,030, including shipping and no sales tax. This is the lowest price anywhere when you factor in shipping and sales tax charged by the other merchants, on or off line.

All Western Digital drives include a factory 2 year warranty, which can be extended at the buyer's option.

I hope this information has been helpful. You can now calculate how large an external hard drive you will need to satisfy you storage requirements.

Life After A Computer Crash

Most of us have suffered through a major computer crash with the accompanying loss of data and important documents. Recently, I had my third crash, this time my main desktop system. Fortunately, this time I had an external hard drive with a complete shadow backup of my "C" drive. The external hard drive is a 2 TB (terabyte) Western Digital My Book Essential (Western Digital part# WDBAAF0020HBK-NESN).

For my readers who are unfamiliar with computer lingo, a terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes. Most modern computer hard drives are rated at 160 - 500 gigabytes of storage capacity. It is critical that a data backup system is always available for all critical data and documents, especially for business and technical (research) applications.

The price of the Western Digital My Book Essential external hard drive is only $215 which includes free shipping & no sales tax from Discount Gifts Online. This is a great deal through Discount Gifts Online
The hard drive comes with a 2 year Western Digital factory warranty.

The drive has an illuminated capacity gauge which, at a glance, indicates the remaining unused space on the drive. The drive continuously backs up changes on the "C" drive so the chance of losing data is very small.

The first task that should be performed once the Hard Drive is installed is the complete shadow backup of the main computer's "C" drive and the creation of a bootable floppy disk. The built-in software in the My Book Essential automatically takes you through the setup process with prompts and instructions. The procedure is clear, concise, and easy to follow. The "C" drive backup is slow and can take 6-8 hours or more, depending on the size of your "C" drive. But, you only have to do this once. The continuous incremental backup will take over from this point forward.

For more information, please visit my webpage and read the complete detailed description of the Western Digital My Book Essential 2 TB external Hard Drive.


Keep in mind that at some point during the life of your computer that a crash is highly probable. These crashes will occur at the least opportune time. And unless you have a backup of your data, you will experience a catastrophic loss requiring many hours of lost time trying to reconstruct your files. Taking into consideration this time spent, the Western Digital External Hard Drive is cheap insurance.

Incidentally, for you music, video, and photography buffs out there, the 2 TB My Book Essential Hard Drive is a wonderful storage and backup medium for your video, audio, and photo files as well. But that is the subject of my next Blog.
