Italian resources

I remember someone posting a little while ago that they were starting Italian, and asking about any good resources people knew. I'm starting Italian as well, but I can't find the thread. Does anyone have it bookmarked/ can anyone suggest some good resources?

I'm looking for:

an Audio learning course like Italian.pod but with less English
Word lists with sound
Grammar guide
Dictionaries (mono & bi)
Places to get Italian television online (Like d-addicts or dramacrazy)
Somewhere that teaches Italian spelling etc
A pronunciation course
Italian Books (preferably with audio & translations)
Anything else you can think of

Thanks for any help.

Edit: If anyone knows a good Italian learning forum, that would be great too.
Edit2: A place like the drama wiki on d-addicts (i.e. English descriptions of programs) would also be great.
