Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Large probe) 『This device is massive compared to most digital thermometers. The copper tip is as long as a steak is thick. You can't possibly use this for anything small. It will work for a roast, but not everyday things.』
(Quick&Accurate) 『I got this instant-read thermometer primarily to check internal temp of artisinal breads, but it soon replaced my meat thermometer. It is so quick and, in side-by-side test with my trusty old dial thermometer, it was very accurate. My only issue with it is that it sometimes - not always - wants to read the room temperature for an extended time. That means that I have to remove the battery when storing it in order to save battery life. Minor inconvenience, but it would rate five stars otherwise.』
(Better safe...) 『Good product is improved from its older, smaller version. Works especially well when you really aren't sure if the meat is done.』
(Maverick Pro Thermometer - Lukewarm) 『Much larger than picture led me to believe, a bit bulky. Tip is too large to be fast responding. Meat is consistently overcooked.』
(Maverick RediCheck Pro Thermometer) 『I love this thermometer! The neatest part about it is that you can watch it go from rare to medium to well done. It is very accurate. I had a Maverick thermometer before and loved it, but my husband put it in the sink in dishwater. DO NOT PUT THIS THERMOMETER IN WATER! The thermometer I had before was a small one, but this is a nice size. You can check a single burger or a chicken breast on a George Foreman Grill, plus you can check a roast in the oven or a pork chop on the grill. In this day and age where meat needs to be done, what a wonderful cooking tool to have.』 『Auto-on feature / Turns on when food reaches 115 degrees, accurate to 1 degree / Great for grilling, oven and microwave cooking / Determines E. coli safe』 『Take the guesswork out of baking, roasting, and grilling with this confidence-instilling electronic thermometer. Accurate to one degree Fahrenheit, its easy-to-read digital display indicates the internal temperature of meat so cooks can tailor doneness to individual tastes. A handy feature automatically turns the thermometer on when food reaches 115 degrees. Another useful option determines meat's E. coli safety. This versatile kitchen tool is made from durable, stainless steel with FDA-approved plastic. It runs off a single AAA battery, included with purchase.--Mary Park』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (This Is a really great thermometer) 『My first digital thermometer cost a lot less but was really inaccurate. Like one of the reviews. How many burnt dishes does it take to pay for a good meter. This is my second ThermoWorks product and I like both the product and the company. This is my second Thermapen the other was ruined by a sudden thunder storm. I just noticed that they now have a splash resistant model for about $10.00 more. Do not waist your money on the cheaper models or the old analog models. They are not accurate and very slow. These make a great gift for your BBQ king friend or family member. I hope this review was helpful.』
(Buy the best. Don't waste $$ on lesser thermometers!) 『Fast, accurate, and handy. You'll save a fortune on ruined meat and overcooked foods. It'll pay for itself after a good BBQ, Loaf of Bread, Recipe of Candy and Seafood Dinner. You simply can't over or under cook your favorite foods. Reads in literally 2 seconds.』
(Wonderful to use&makes an excellent gift) 『Cooking thermometers have come a long way in the 15 years.
I remember the old mechanical spiral-dial thermometer that my parents used - it was terrible. It's temperature response time was measured in minutes, and if it got you within +/- 20F of your target temperature, you were lucky. Candy thermometers offere a slight improvement in speed and accuracy, but were calibrated too high a range to be useful for grilling and baking.
Then the first of the digital thermometers came out for home cooks. As a budding humebrewer and someone who loved to cook, I immediately bought the best ones I could fine. Unfortunately, although faster and more accurate, they were still a bit slow ... taking up to 30 sec to stabilize. They also tended to be moisture sensitive, needed periodic re-calibration to retain accuracy, had to be turned on and off manually, and frequently needed new batteries. However, they were still a giant step forward.
About 5 years ago (guess?), I saw the first Thermapen in a Baker's catalog, which ballyhooed it's speed, accuracy, and convenience. I promptly bought one and tried it. I was delightfully surprised to encounter a product that actually did everything as well as it claimed.
LIKES:
* SPEED&ACCURACY: Courtesy of the probe's tapered tip, and modern thermocouple, the thermapen can get an accurate reading within 1F in roughly 3-4 seconds ... and the tip is tapered enough so that it only makes a small hole, without overly damaging that you're measuring. That makes all sorts of things possible - you can accurately check individual chops, burgers, sausages and fish for proper doneness while grilling, and you can check oven roasts and baked bread for doneness in a blink without losing all the heat in your oven (although if you're serious about baking, you should be using a wireless instant read instead). The unit also seems to retain excellent accuracy, and doesnt need regular re-calibration.
* ERGONOMIC: I like how the probe is protected by having it fold and clip into the side of the unit, so it can fit securely into your pocket ... no protective tube to lose, or awkward clamshell case. It's fairly rugged, and doesnt mind being bumped around in the ol kitchen tools drawer. The unit also turns itself off after a few minutes, to protect the battery (12v type 23A ... it looks like a half-length AAA).
MINOR NITS:
* F/C: There's no switch to change between farenheit and celsius ... you have to buy one set to one scale or the other. It can't do both. There's also no calibration adjustment ... although I dont really miss it, because this unit seems to stay accurate, despite years of use.
* BETTER SWIVEL NEEDED: I really like the folding probe, but because it only folds along 1 plane, it can sometimes cause awkward hand and viewing angles. It would have been better if the swivel were redesigned to allow full XYZ (3D) rotation, instead of only XY (2D).
* PRICEY: At $85-90 USD, it's priced rather steep. However, I've gotten years of very satisfied use out of mine, the battery is changeable, and it's been worth the price. Still, I'd like to see the price come down.
* SIZE: Although fairly compact and fits neatly into a pocket, there's still plenty of room for further size reduction.
Highly recommended ... if your budget permits.』
(Expensive, but worth it) 『I read about these a year ago (magazine said suggested retail was $79 and I paid $99 for mine) but I've been very pleased with the product. It came with a calibration sheet showing how it had been tested but I still tested it with a pan of boiling water. It was spot on. Never again will I under or over cook a meal. 』
(The Original Super-Fast Thermapen) 『I extensively researched this product and find it to be the best I have ever owned or used.』 『Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen is chosen by restaurant chains, health inspectors, quality managers and chefs all over the world. The clever pocket design replaces more costly and bulky handheld thermometers while using the same professional thermocouple technology. The Super-Fast Thermapen displays actual internal food or liquid temperatures in only 3 or 4 seconds. Other thermometers make you wait another 20 seconds or more to catch up to the Thermapen. Thats a huge difference in a fast paced commercial kitchen or when youre over a hot grill. If youre cooking an expensive cut of meat you want a perfect outcome. You dont want a slow temperature reading that might be misinterpreted and your meat overcooked.The reduced-diameter needle tip of the Super-Fast model only requires about 1/8 immersion so you can take the temperature of even thin burger patties. And, youll only leave a tiny, self-closing hole in your steak instead of the gaping juice-drain left by digital BBQ forks or the old dial-type meat thermometers.The Thermapen automatically comes on when you unfold the probe and it shuts off when you close it for storage. An auto-off feature will save your battery if you leave the probe open over 6 minutes. Each unit includes a battery, a wrist-strap and a certificate of calibration with actual test data to show your units accuracy at two temperatures.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Different tunes, Different Incarnation of the band) 『The Allman brothers had a stark choice before them, in the wake of the tragic losses of Duane and Berry: give everything up, sitting in Sackcloth&Ashes for the rest of their lives...or picking up the pieces and moving on! I'm exceedingly glad they chose the latter. Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil is NOT the boys attempting to recreate The Fillmore East...rather, it's the perfect complement to the ABB's landmark initial live album. Gregg&Co. very wisely decided not to even attempt to replace Duane with another guitarist ( at least not for a decade! ). Instead, they found a superb blues piano player in Chuck Leavell, also a wonderful complement to Gregg's B-3 organ. With the exception of Elizabeth Reed, there is no redundancy here: all new tunes, with a profoundly different "intensity"; yet faithful to that classic Allman Brothers Sound. While I respect bands such as Led Zeppelin deciding not to carry on after the loss of an original member, I am glad other groups do indeed live to fight another day...given an average longevity of three or four decades, it's inevitable that personnel changes will happen.』
(Mid 70's gem with a twist) 『I just listened to this recording and i have to say i was very impressed, several of the live tunes have a more jazz flavored tempo due to the excellent work of longtime Stones pianist Chuck Leavell. The high points include Elizabeth Reed, Southbound and Jessica all delivered with skill by the brothers lineup at the time. With D. Betts doing all the guitar work and the added keyboard the listener experiences a tight 6 man unit delivering the tunes with the skill and precision that the ABB are known for. I don't understand the critical reviews of this CD as the performances are top notch and the song selection is fine.』
(They didn't want it released. I see why) 『Dollar gas? Oh, that's a real knee-slapper there! And isn't it so great that they titled it that in the midst of an oil crisis similar to the one we're having now? Well, I guess it was common in Chuck Berry's time. Anyway, I wish I could say something good about this album. Because, cliché as it is to say this, the Allman Brothers are the best live band ever. But hey, even they have off nights, and besides, they didn't even want this released. Now, had Tom Dowd respected their wishes, the group's legacy as a live band would be 100% intact. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Instead, this was pumped out as a stopgap while the group was busy with the Gregg Allman "Pot, Meet Kettle" Drug Trial. So it's basically a collection of lackluster live material from the group's mid-'70s incarnation, which means it draws heavily from Brothers and Sisters - five of that album's seven are present here ("Jessica", "Come and Go Blues", "Wasted Words", "Southbound" and of course "Ramblin' Man"), and they're all given sluggish, perfunctory, bored treatments. Of course, they're all fine songs in the studio (and "Come and Go Blues" kicks butt), but that matters not because here the groupplays them all as half-heartedly as can be. But not even those are the biggest letdown on the album. That would be "Ain't Wastin' Time No More". It's taken in slow-mo. And that doesn't fit the "no regrets!" message of that song. And hey, I know "It's Not My Cross to Bear" is supposed to be world-weary. That's what made the original version so good. But the group doesn't sound world-weary, they sound stoned. I mean "stoned beyond all reasonable functioning" stoned, not just "kinda stoned" like the Allman Brothers always were because it's the Allman Brothers we're talking about and not some rock band that wasn't stoned all the time (which translates to "no rock band that ever existed"). And when you're stoned that badly you shouldn't be playing. You should be in rehab. And not telling on some roadie for drug possession just to get yourself out of jail, a-HEM, Gregg! Oh well. Never been ahuge fan of "Don't Want You No More", and it's a disappointment here, too. Makes sense, I guess. There are a couple showstoppers - I simply can't hear "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" too many times, and "Can't Lose What You Never Had" sports some fantastic jamming. But on a whole? Skip it, before someone else does! Aye, skip it, and gravitate towards the many great live Allmans albums. I'm talkin' At Fillmore East, the Atlanta International Pop Festival album, Live at American University, Live at Ludlow Garage, both of the Evening With albums, and some choice concerts you can find on Wolfgang'sVault.』
(Dickey Shines) 『If you are a Dickey Betts fan like I am,I highly recommend this album.Dickey has always been overshadowed by Duanes legend,but here he gets a chance to shine in the spotlight alone.He is featured playing on spirited versions of many of the Allman Brother classics.This line-up would be the only time the ABB would feature one guitar player.Chuck Leavells piano work is a great counter part to Dickey on the longer improvisations.The versions of "Southbound","Ramblin Man","Dont Want You No More-Its Not My Cross To Bear",and "Jessica" show Dickey at his best and why he should be considered among the best lead players of all-time.』
(NO "AT THE FILMORE EAST JUNIOR") 『What a difference five years can make. In the span of those years the Allman Brothers lost two of its founding members since its thermonuclear release of AT THE FILMORE EAST. Gone were Duane Allman (truly one of great guitars of his time) and bassist Berry Oakley (underestimated as a bassist and the writer of the classic song **Ramblin' Man**). Up to this point, the Allmans made no attempt to replace Duane Allman to preserve the dual guitar attack so loved by their fans. Gregg Allman did play some chords now and then; but his place was still behind the organ and keyboards. This left Dickey Betts carrying the lion's share of the guitar chores for the band--not that he minded all that much. Betts was quite talented in his own right and had been overshadowed by Duane even in death. The bass position had been filled by excellent Lamar Williams and the then unknown Chuck Leavell came in to fill out the sound with piano and vocals.
The band was clearly back into it's element playing live. The sound is a bit "cooler" in the sense of being more precise, better technically and backing off if ever so slightly in passion. This hardly means WIPE THE WINDOWS CHECK THE OIL DOLLAR GAS is a bad record. To the contrary, it is very good. But if you are looking for another AT THE FILMORE EAST you are bound to be disappointed.
Since AT THE FILMORE EAST and EAT A PEACH (the last two albums with both Duane Allman), the band released the classic BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Frankly, many expected the band to dissolve with EAT A PEACH and not much was imagined for the succeeding album. BROTHERS AND SISTERS was a phenomenal record with a bucket load of great songs. Everyone had thought the Allmans had arisen from the ashes to take the lead in the contemporary rock vanguard. That was not to be. Thus fair or unfair, WIPE THE WINDOWS CHECK THE OIL DOLLAR GAS is often regarded as a document of the band's journey into disintegration. By the end of the decade, the band would release two albums that would stand as embarrassments to this day.
In part, this hardly was the Allmans fault. Time had simply past and musical tastes changed. No longer did the concert goers have much interest in the long jams that was something of a trademark for the Allmans. Most have songs here have been played at the five to seven minute range. The exceptions are the nine minute **Jessica** and a seventeen minute **In Memory of Elizabeth Reed**. In the "old days" at five, six or seven minutes the band would just be warming up.
As it stands, five of the ten songs are from BROTHERS AND SISTERS. One from EAT A PEACH. One from WIN, LOSE OR DRAW. One from IDLEWILD SOUTH. And two from the self-named THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND. The only song that had seen life in AT THE FILMORE EAST was "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"--itself treated here to a nice touch by quoting the Doors' "Riders OnThe Storm" midway through. So one is hardly treated to an AT THE FILMORE EAST JUNIOR.
For my money, this album is worth every cent for a spirited "Ramblin' Man", the inspired different take of "Elizabeth Reed" and a rousing "Jessica". That being said, there really isn't a chunker here. All are among the best in the Allman's catalog. It is just that this is the lesser of all the band's live recordings. Much preferred are all the Allmans later live recordings such as AN EVENING WITH THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND (both volumes) and PEAKIN' AT THE BEACON.
Of course, I assume you already have AT THE FILMORE EAST. If not, what's the matter with you?

I used three rolls for my son's room and had finished putting it up in about an hour and a half. I cut the border into about foot long strips as I went so it was easier to work with, and just lined it up as I pasted it onto the wall.
The best thing about this though is after finishing, I noticed on one wall I hadn't put the border on straight...it was curving up on one side. I was able to gently peel it off, dip it in water again, and re-attach it, and there was no residue on my walls! This is a huge plus since this is a rental house! Great product, and I absolutely recommend. A quick and easy way to liven up any child's room!』

(An Explosion of Color!) 『This classic gem is an explosion of color and pure comedy. Red Skelton and Lucille Ball together, are you kidding me? How could you not love 2 of America's greatest clowns in their prime film-acting careers. The plot takes a slight dip, as Red drinks a bit of an (un)savory cocktail, but the show must go on. Both these charming redheads were a special gift to cinema and television. Buy it, watch it, savor it, enjoy it, and don't think about it!!Du Barry Was a Lady』
("Why is it all the rich people have the money?") 『May Daly (Lucille Ball) and Alec Howe (Gene Kelly) are in love, but he's too poor for her taste. Instead of marrying him, she wants to find a rich man even if she doesn't love him. When the hat check boy from the nightclub she works at (Red Skelton) wins a sweepstakes, she reluctantly agrees to marry him after he announces their engagement to the papers. Then after a big mix-up, the new money finds himself knocked out and dreaming he is Louis XV.
It is interesting that Ball wears red and pink frequently throughout the film, two colors that redheads are often warned to stay away from. Consequently, she looks more glamourous in her blonde wig and 18th century clothes in the dream sequence.
This snappy musical jumps around all over the place, but what it lacks in cohesiveness, it more than makes up for in entertainment. Really, the story isn't vital because the musical numbers are so good, and the stars have so much personality.
Kelly is gorgeous here, and his rendition of "Do I Love You?" is beautiful. "I Love an Esquire Girl" is a delight. The lyrics mention a lot of pieces of pop culture that are still relevant today, and it ends with a cameo by a beautiful star. The Cole Porter finale is a lot of fun as well, and a total departure from the story.
The worst musical number is Virginia O'Brien singing "Salome." The song isn't bad and her voice is great, but gosh, are her eyes dead! She looks incredibly bored the whole time she's singing, just staring into the camera like her eyes are made of glass.』
(Zany, colorful musical...) 『I absolutely love musicals, and while I'd rank Du Barry Was a Lady as one of the lesser films to come out of MGM's Freed Unit, it does have a lot going for it. The film is a shimmering Technicolor jewel, full of eye-popping sets and spectacular, elaborate costumes. Like two of the other films in the Lucille Ball Film Collection, Lucy plays a showgirl, but this time she's at her most luminous and sympathetic. Sure, she claims that money is more important than love, but she never leaves you doubting that she's got it bad for Gene Kelly's struggling piano-playing hoofer. Du Barry was only Kelly's second picture, and he gets a nice little solo to the Cole Porter gem "Do I Love You?" When the action moves to 18th-century France, Kelly turns into the "Black Arrow," a swashbuckling character that nicely foreshadows Kelly's turn in The Pirate five years later. Red Skelton is absolutely hilarious as the hapless hat-check boy in love with Lucy who turns into Louis XV when he mistakenly drinks a "Mickey Finn" intended for Kelly. Zero Mostel and Virginia O'Brien round out the supporting cast nicely. Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra are also prominently featured as the music act at the club where all the action occurs. The DVD is supplemented with the trailer, a cartoon ("Bah Wilderness"), and a truly fascinating short subject - the Pete Smith Specialty "Seeing Hands." This short was nominated for an Oscar and tells the story of Ben Helwig, who was blinded as a child and went on to become a really talented machinist during the war. It's really a very forward-thinking piece urging industry to hire people with disabilities because they could make important contributions to war-time industry. Du Barry is a good film to view for anyone who's a fan of the magic touch the Freed Unit brought to movie musicals - top-notch talent, colorful spectacle, and catchy tunes.』
(What Gene Kelly does to "Do I Love You, Do I" is...ah...memorable. Thank goodness for Lucille Ball and Donald Meek) 『"Be brave, my friend. You are dying for your country!" says The Black Arrow (Gene Kelly) to his pal, the grubby Taliostra (Zero Mostel), as the tumbrel bears them to the guillotine.
"Yeah," says Taliostra, "but I was born in the city." Expect much more of the same with Du Barry Was a Lady.
The 1939 Broadway smash starred two powerful performers, Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman, a first rate, innuendo-filled set of songs by Cole Porter, and lots of girls and gags. So what did MGM do when the studio bought the rights? Ditched Merman and Lahr and almost all of the Porter songs. (To be fair, a good many of Porter's lyrics would not have gotten past Hollywood's Code of Decency). MGM kept the girls.
MGM bought the rights for three reasons...to have a vehicle to showcase its up-and-coming comic lead, Red Skelton; the same with their newest knockout beauty coming to them from RKO, Lucille Ball; and to use Gene Kelly until they could figure out what to do with him. Skelton plays Louis Blore, a hatcheck boy at a posh New York nightclub who has a crush on May Daly (Ball), the club's headliner. But she wants security, not love. Still, we know she likes Alec Howe (Kelly), the nightclub's MC, dancer and songwriter, who loves her. When Louis wins the lottery, May decides to marry him. But then a mistaken mickey knocks Louis out and he wakes up as Louis XV, with May as Madame Du Barry and Alec as Black Arrow, the dashing fighter for freedom. All those comic relief employees of the nightclub, the likes of Mostel, Rags Ragland and Virginia O'Brien, show up as peasants or nobles, along with just about everyone else Louis had met in the nightclub, including Donald Meek. Things finally are resolved, with happiness all around, when Louis comes to and finds himself back in the nightclub with May, Alec and all his pals.
The movie has that smooth, unreal MGM Technicolor gloss that can make even genuine talent seem artificial. The best thing that can be said is that the movie has a few highlights and a great deal of barely imaginative but skilled professionalism. To substitute for the songs by Porter that were pitched, there is, in my view, a hodge-podge of mostly second-rate and facile Hollywood music and lyric writing. In place of Porter's clever, sophisticated and amusing songs, including the inventive and salacious "But in the Morning, No" where he comes up with some startling metaphors for sex in the a.m., we're stuck with "Madame, I Love Your Crepes Suzettes" and "I Love an Esquire Girl." Even Lahr wouldn't be able to make these lyrics funny. All Skelton does is mug and prance while he performs them.
If you like Red Skelton, you might enjoy Du Barry Was a Lady. He's in almost every scene, doing all of his unusual shtick. For me, Skelton was at his most appealing when he wasn't doing all the grab-`em-by-the-throat clowning, Give me the Skelton who was Wally "The Fox" Benton, master sleuth on radio, inept in real life, in Whistling in the Dark (1941) (1941), Whistling in Dixie (1942) and Whistling in Brooklyn (1943).
Lucille Ball is a knock out, strikingly gorgeous and with that skeptical, smart look about her that, I think, perpetually flummoxed studio heads. Those arched eyebrows of hers made her a challenge to cast. One of her most sympathetic and amusing roles, I think, was in Lured (1947), but it didn't do her career much good.
More than anything else, I think it's Gene Kelly's singing and dancing to Porter's great song, "Do I Love You, Do I" that establishes how out of sync this movie is with any sense of style or respect for excellent material. The song is one of the few from the Broadway show that was kept. To do it justice (even knowing that Merman introduced it) it needs the languid sophistication of a Lee Wiley or even the driving treatment Peggy Lee gave Lover. Instead, we have a typically Kelly interpretation, all on the surface, singing and tapping, and then a fast, athletic performance with chorus girls set to a blaring, flashy orchestration. Whoever was responsible for the grotesque treatment this great song received should have had their taps stapled to their lips. Here are the words. Perhaps you'll recall the melody.
Do I love you, do I? Doesn't one and one make two? Do I love you, do I? Does July need a sky of blue? Would I miss you, would I? If you ever should go away? If the sun should desert the day, What would life be?
Will I leave you, never? Could the ocean leave the shore? Will I worship you forever? Isn't heaven forever more? Do I love you, do I? Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see, Don't you know I do? Don't I show you I do, Just as you love me.
For good measure, the movie also gives us Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra, an unbilled Jo Stafford and the Pied Pipers (with Dick Haymes), and a curious trio called The Three Oxford Boys who imitate various dance bands by humming through their noses. The movie is glossy and bright, and if you can tolerate Red Skelton's continuous mugging and pratfalls, it might be worth a look. The DVD transfer is first rate.』 『Presented in glorious Technicolor,Du Barry Was a Ladyis an all-singing, all-dancing musical extravaganza with enough star power to light a major city. Freely adapted from the Cole Porter musical that was a Broadway smash in 1939, this was Lucille Ball's first color film, and after several years of lower-profile movies at RKO, Lucy jumped at the chance to star in an MGM musical, assuming the role that Ethel Merman had played on Broadway. And while Lucy gets plenty of screen time to strut her stuff as the sassy and lovelorn nightclub singer May Daly, the real star of the show is Red Skelton as hat-check boy Louis Blore (played by Bert Lahr on Broadway), whose affection for May is matched by Alec Howe (Gene Kelly), a struggling songwriter with whom May--against her gold-digger instincts--has reluctantly fallen in love. But when newly-rich sweepstakes winner Louis accidentally drinks a "Mickey Finn" intended for Alec, he passes out and dreams of being France's King Louis XV, living in royal splendor and running after the lovely Madame Du Barry (Ball) in the palace at Versailles. It's a comedic spin onThe Wizard of Oz, with the contemporary characters (including Zero Mostel in a wacky supporting role) playing their 18th-century counterparts.
This free-form premise is merely a clever excuse for an eye-candy feast of musical comedy, andDu Barry Was a Ladyworks best as a smorgasbord of all-star entertainment, from the jazzy swing of Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra (with Buddy Rich on drums) to the grand-scale production numbers featuring the splendidly costumed Vargas girls (made famous in the pages ofEsquiremagazine) and Gene Kelly at his fancy-footed best. It's a veritable explosion of Technicolor fun (this DVD transfer is nothing short of spectacular), and in addition to some fine singing by Virginia O'Brien, vigilant movie buffs can spot Lana Turner in a small, uncredited role. Also included inThe Lucille Ball Film Collection, this delightful DVD includes two short subjects from 1943: "Seeing Hands" is an Oscar-nominated "Pete Smith Specialty" short about Ben Helwig, who overcame blindness to become a gifted machinist; the film's progressive message encourages industry to hire persons with disabilities who can make a valuable contribution to wartime industry. Also included is the MGM "Barney Bear" cartoon "Bah, Wilderness," and a faded print of the original theatrical trailer forDu Barry Was a Lady, which really makes you appreciate the dazzling Technicolor of the full-length feature.--Jeff Shannon』

You don't need Abraham... if you are self empowered, if you know that you create your own reality, if you know who you are (the eternal you), if you know the meaning of your emotions, and if you can make yourself joyful anytime you want.
Do you remember when you were adored by someone? Abraham reminds me what that felt like.
Recently I find myself watching Episodes 2 through 6 over and over. They are fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! The Episode Series appears to be the best of the best of Abraham-Hicks. It is almost as good as having someone who adores me.
If money is tight, you can experience Abraham-Hicks on YouTube. 』
(3 Minute Trailer: EP3) 『Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1W5RD3TXXRP1IMotivation vs. Inspiration. Action vs. "Chilling." Overbearing bosses? Incurable illnesses? World peace? And, Abraham responds to an American's loss-of-freedom concerns. This one's going to leave you really refreshed!
---------------------------------------- --------- "Stop 'telling it like it is' and start telling it like you want it to be." ---------------------------------------- ---------
Esther and Jerry Hicks are two fun-loving adventure-seekers, currently breathing-in huge lungfuls of joy as they figure-8 across the United States in their rock star monster bus, following the good weather, meeting friends along the way and enabling as many people as possible to visit with Abraham during all-day Art of Allowing Workshops.』
(AMAZING!) 『I ordered this product to help with infertility and I was pregnant two weeks later! It's amazing what a little shift in your energy can do and this video really helps to make that shift!』
(My favorite teachers) 『Abraham is by far the best teacher, they have this wit and unconditional love that makes you understand that all is well really and getting better all the time. DVD's are nicer than CD's because you can see the whole interaction but I also like CD's for the convenience of listening while doing something else. If you've attracted this to you is because you there is something in it for you, no mistake, no coincidence. You won't regret getting it.』
(It's all about feeling better.) 『I have been an Abraham's student for 3 years now. Every year I gain more and more insight about life. I listen to the same material again and again. When time passed by, my experiences brought me to the new understanding of Abraham's materials. Abraham makes the law of attraction so simple and very easily to understand. The core of the teaching is just to trust that the Universe can bring everything and anything you desire and your work is just being happy at where you are and eager for more of what you want. I see my life changing so much since I listened to Abraham. I get a wonderful job, get out of debt, get along with my family, and get an amazing relationship. Everything is falling into place. What keeps me being where I want to be is Abraham's insighful words.』 『Topics addressed by Abraham during this workshop include: Total, permanent world peace - can it be achieved and should we even try? She wants to go on an Abraham cruise but cannot afford it, so how can she close the gap between her now reality and her vibrational escrow? He knows he has anchors of resistance that have manifested in the form of a paralyzed face...but what are they? Proving you are right in court - Abraham talks about the true cost of litigation. When our own government starts to tread on our fundamental freedoms, do we have a responsibility to stand up for ourselves? What can you do when your vivid imagination runs wild with horrible thoughts? What is the right mix between doing something and simply allowing thought-energy to flow? Men and women are there fundamental differences between the sexes? She has tried everything to get pregnant, but nothing has worked. Abraham tells us how to deal with a very bossy boss and find personal happiness at work. And much, much more. Answers and inspiration from the Non-Physical entity Abraham whom Esther calls infinite intelligence and Jerry refers to as the purest form of love he has ever encountered.』

A few examples would be criticizing the manager for a pitching change or getting on the case of a batter in a terrible slump. However, this DVD will remind you that the game of baseball stands for so much more.
This documentary really shines on two different levels. First, is the action transpiring on the field. Starting with President George W. Bush throwing out the opening pitch (a perfect strike) at Yankee Stadium on the first night back after the terrible 9/11 disaster, the film chronicles the Yankees' amazing run to a division title, a playoff series (against Oakland) that might have been lost if not for Derek Jeter sprinting out of nowhere, and the intensely dramatic World Series that, although it didn't end well for NY, contained a decade-worth of Yankee Stadium drama. The filmmakers are able to very effectively turn those events into a sort of metaphor for the city of New York.
The second level this movie succeeds on is in recounting the personal stories that were going on "behind the scenes" while the Yankees and Mets were doing their best to entertain the masses. In one instance, a young girl who lost her father on 9/11 only began finding herself again after a simple phone conversation with Derek Jeter. On other occasions, NYC firefighters and rescue workers were touched by personal appearances from Yankee players, allowing them (if only for a brief time) to think of something other than the terrible events that were involved in. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is also a very articulate presence throughout the film, as his words serve as a representation for the entire New York population at that time. Despite their sorrow, they wanted to see their Yankees.
As a person who has also experienced a difficult time in my life and been helped through it by the steadying presence of baseball, I found this documentary to be a very accurate portrayal of the lingering emotions during that time period. Through all the fear and anxiety, the sport of baseball was able to provide fans a respite (even if at first they were wary of looking at anything the same again) from the shocking events/changes around them. And that, ultimately, is the legacy of this fine sport...bringing people together over a common interest.
Thus, I recommend viewing this film on every September 11th from now until eternity, as it will help you remember how a frightened nation was helped to be resurrected by a simple (yet oh so grand) game.』
(Our Pastime!) 『Nine Innings From Ground Zero says a lot, shows a lot. Smiles, tears, laughter, joy, and sorrow. Narration is spot on sympathetic and poignant without being overly maudlin. Lot's of stuff in here you may have forgotten, or see for the first time. You need not be a New York Yankees fan to feel the enormous emotion as you see our former President grace the pitcher's mound in pride, defiance, humor, and care...and throw a strike right into the heart of the enemy, and our conscience.』
(For more than just baseball fans) 『This is one of the best made documentaries by HBO. Among many things, it shows how baseball helped New York and America survive the shocking aftermath of September 11, 2001.』
(Sugar-Coated Glurge) 『This ridiculous pile of maudlin crud would be funny if it wasn't so darned sad. First, the common theme is "New York NEEDED this World Series in it's recovery from September 11" and "New York DESERVED this World Series" and "It was America v. Arizona," etc. Never mind that the Yankees payroll was three times that of Arizona and that the Yankees had won four of the previous five October classics- nope, they were SUPPOSED to win this one because...um, well, because terrorists attacked New York, I guess.
The DVD also doubles as a campaign commercial for Rudy Giuliani, who manages to appear in WAY too many segments. One of the most unintentionally funny moments comes when the series goes back to Arizona and one of the Mayor's spokesmen talks about the "tough decision" concerning whether Giuliani should fly to Phoenix to be there- "what if we were attacked again in his absence?" Hmm, yeah, what if? I guess NYC would have had to get by without the Mayor wandering around the rubble looking for his command center with a bullhorn in his hand.
Another great moment comes when a Pwecious Wittle Girl reads a letter she wrote to Derek Jeter about how she weally, weally woves him and hopes he wins the whole thing. I had to pause the DVD and go brush my teeth after that part.
There's a lot more, but the message woven throughout the film remains the same- the people of NYC are Heroes who were Bent but not Broken, the New York Yankees ARE the city of NY, and it was Wrong and Bad for the Diamondbacks to win that Series. It was as if the Terrorists had Won.
Watch the DVD with some friends for a laugh, and supply plenty of booze. But don't invite any diabetics, this will send them into shock before the halfway mark.』
(remember 9/11) 『the main reason i bought this video is because the price finally dropped. i happened to be at this - my first- world series. i watched games three and four in yankee stadium after making the long trek out from colorado in late october. i'm very experiential and had to visit ground zero. every time i'm in nyc i visit the same corner. jeter's november heroics are memorable and by kim's meltdown. he never really recovered from those home runs. kim was just traded from the colorado rockies to the marlins. unfortunately, the yankees lost that one on a luis gonzalez's bloop single off mariano rivera, but there was nothing like watching president bush throw out the first pitch, the wtc flag unfurled over yankee stadium and lee greenwood singing.』 『In the days following terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, sports might have seemed trivial and irrelevant. ButNine Innings from Ground Zerodemonstrates how New Yorkers, in fact, embraced baseball with a cathartic passion, turning Yankees and Mets games into spontaneous rituals of grief and showcases for resilience and the restoration of normalcy. Off the field, both teams found a way to comfort the city to the extent they could, visiting firefighters and relatives of the dead; the Yankees' Derek Jeter personally reached out to the young daughter of one of the pilots killed by hijackers. The Yankees' ride to the World Series that year is covered extensively here, and the team's up-and-down dramas playing against Phoenix coincide with such off-field horrors as an anthrax scare and more warnings of terrorism. Outstanding game footage and interwoven analysis of baseball action and real-world events makeNine Inningsunique.--Tom Keogh』 『Short, well-made documentary showing how the NY Yankees vs. AZ Diamondbacks world series games, just a month after 9-11, provided welcome relief from the uncertainty New Yorkers, and the nation, felt about how to proceed with their lives. The Yankees, during the series, came to symbolize and re-strengthen everything that was, and is, New York... and America.』

My 3 year old granddaughter could not get it on. When it is on it is supposed to quit whimpering, which is not the case. You have to poke around inside the cast to hit the right place to make it stop, which is not easy to find. It also comes with a stethoscope that is too large to even fit in an adult's ears. She likes the dog when everything is turned off! I would not reccomend this.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Many positives, some negatives) 『The kids love this bank as it automatically counts the $ as you put it in and gives you a total on deposit.

Valuable New Features Based on the original and best selling CP9135, the next generation CP9175 has important additional features. In addition to allowing users to view data in English, Spanish, or French, the CP9175 is also Internet updateable. Plus, it displays freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault.
The Data You Need With more functions than other code readers available in the automotive aftermarket at comparable cost, the CP9175 easily retrieves diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer, leading you to the problem area. The scanner is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present.
The CP9175 is fully updateable, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive.
The CP9175 is simple and easy to use. The attached OBD II 16-pin connector cable provides both data and power connections, while the eight-foot cable and rugged housing are both oil- and grease-resistant for added durability. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. And thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery you can review the data you've gathered from the vehicle anywhere you please.
Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.
Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms.
The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with simple "hot keys" that are used to read and erase DTCs, make the CP9175 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.
The scanner comes with CD software that contains more than 3,000 diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.

(Perfect tool for beginning auto DIYer) 『I'm learning how to work on my 98 Volvo s70 so I can afford to keep it and this tool has been indispensable for my trouble shooting for the following reasons: 1) Defines the code for you, this means you aren't always looking at a book or website to figure out what's up. 2) Backlit. If you find yourself out occasionally at night checking vacuum lines and other minor things, the fact you can read the screen is helpful. 3) Reads "pending" codes that have yet to register as a check engine light. This means you see a problem before it becomes urgent. The live data will help some on this issue as well, but I'm still figuring out where my vehicle should be. I have been impressed with the amount of live data I get on the machine given that I have a European car. All in all, if you're fixing your own car you have enough stress on you without going back and forth from autozone to get codes read or having to look up new and mysterious codes. This is a great tool for a beginnine DIYer like me.』
(Equus 3130 and a 2005 Corolla) 『It linked up quickly and gave me the codes that AutoZone didn't. Helps out when you would rather avoid a dealer or local garage. Identified the area I need to troubleshoot. I cleared the codes easily to verify there was a problem and sure enough the Check Engine light came back on...the next day. Best Price I could find and it is a quality scanner.』
(Equus 3130 Innova code scanner) 『I purchased this tool on friday and recieved it on monday. I had been getting a check engine light on my 99 Accura cl and every-time I took it to Autozone it came up as an "exhaust leak" code. I had replaced the exhaust from the cat back and had not replaced the catalytic converter. When I pluged in the 3130 a "PO420 Catalyst system Efficiency below Threshold" code popped up.I changed the cat and cleared the code with the 3130 and have not had the problem again. I am very pleased with the code reader with the exception of it will not plug into a USB port on my computer, you have to purchase a seriel to USB adapter for $10.00 which is hard to find in your local Best Buy or Radio Shack. They carry a $39.99 Special Adapter which is over-kill.Thank-you Amazon.Com for providing fast shipping and Reasonable prices on Items I need!!! I have several Honda vehicles and tried this code reader on all of them including a 2007 Civic Si and it works on them all.』
(user of code scanner) 『The diagnostic code scanner function exactly as it expected. It is a useful tool for whowever has a problem. The only thing it does link to the PC. The manufacturer provided a cable connection to the PC and did not work, when I called the techniqual support about this problem they advice me to purchase a usb cable that costed me $36 dollars and still did not work. So I am disappointed to pay for extra feature that it did not work which is a waist of money. Buying a lower grade model would of been sufficiant.Equus 3130 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner with Live, Record and Playback Data Capability for OBDII Vehicles』 『The Equus 3130 Innova ScanTool CanOBD II Diagnostic Code Scanner is an enhanced scan tool that is loaded with many professional features. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer. But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Equus has added to the 3130. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.

(Decent product for the money) 『This scan code reader performed as described. It's a shame this product wasn't made in America instead of China!』
(PocketScan Code Reader) 『I recently bought the Actron CP9125 pocketscan code reader to help diagnose some recurring issues with my car, a 2003 VW Passat sedan with a 1.8L 4 cyl engine. I'd had some issues with the engine running rough, check engine light coming on, etc. I bought the reader, read the instructions (which were very simple and straightforward), and plugged it in under the dash. After a brief time with the engine idling roughly, the code reader provided two codes, one indicating I had a problem with the no. 3 cylinder misfiring, and with an oxygen sensor. By switching the plug-in ignition coil on the no. 3 cylinder to the no. 4 cylinder, then checking the reading again and noting it now showed a misfire in the no. 4 cylinder I was able to determine the ignition coil was malfunctioning. I went to my local foreign parts store, bought the coil for $48, and plugged it in...problem solved, no trouble codes anymore. Last time this happened, I didn't have a code reader and took it to a repair shop I'd been using. $357 dollars later I'd gotten my car back with 4 new ignition coils and 4 new spark plugs and wires. Buying the coil myself and plugging it in for $48 was a HUGE improvement, and EASY. Great product, and very valuable for helping you know what's REALLY wrong with your car when you take it in for service!』
(Scanner worth the investment) 『I ordered the scanner when I started to get a persistent engine light on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. On receiving the unit promptly after my order, I hooked it up, read the code, bought and installed a new throttle position sensor and the light has been out ever since. This was well worth the investment.』
(Does what it should) 『This reader worked for me as advertized. In less than 20 seconds it gave me the three error codes. Now I know that my O2 sensor is up for replacement. I am planning replace it myself which should save me hundrends of $$$ vs the dealership. I like that no battery is required to power the reader (unlike those more expensive readers).
Some minor issues I had: The buttons on this unit are not very well designed. Read and Erase keys double as Down and Up which works OK, but is not intuitive (there isn't an Up arrow on the right button). What is worse, the buttons get stuck sometimes. The screen is very small and I needed to consult the manual to interpret the abbreviated displayed there. And "there is lead in the cord" label is ridiculous. Well, at least we were warned :)

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (boring, some tips) 『I found this book too boring to read. The subject matter interested me, but the presentation is not well done. I liked reading about the stories but most of the material was repeated too much.』
(Extremely Helpful) 『I enjoyed the author's insight into time management and how to make it all work. Was very helpful in getting me back on track.』
(Waste of Time) 『Ironically a book on time management and organization takes 72 pages to get to the first time management tip, "focus on tasks that are closest to the revenue line". The first chapters are wordy cliché discussions such as work life balance, develop an entrepreneur mindset...blah blah blah. I found myself skimming the paragraphs looking for any specific original material. She has endless bullet points and numbered lists that are shallow random thoughts that read like a collection of Oprah magazine articles. Even worse are the self indulgent verbose romance novel examples, including this gem from page 165 "A news writer for a national trade magazine, Claire was a five-foot-one dynamo transforming her industry. Working alone, she was a one-women wonder, churning out cutting edge storiesfrom an office as wild as her mane of curly black hair. Claire's eyes sparkled with a sense of adventure, and her face was always on the verge of a huge, warm smile....." This dribble goes on for 3 more long paragraphs. Morgenstern undermines her credibility with these exaggerated fairy tale descriptions. She should purchase a copy of Strunk and White Elements of Style, save us the sophomoric prose and write a 50 page concise, focused time management and office organization book. A terrific alternative is 4 hour workweek by Timothy Ferris which covers many of the same points in a morecompelling, concise and convincing manner.』
(Great For Employees of Small(er) Businesses) 『Small or large, the tasks and responsibilities every organization must complete to be successful are pretty much the same. But employees of smaller businesses have a wider range of responsibilities than the more specialized staff of larger firms. Small business employees--and their owners--continually are confronted by many more types of tasks requiring attention. Additionally, smaller businesses tend to "run lean" with limited back up if someone is absent. These factors tend to foster an unfocused and inefficient workplace.
This book offers employees in such situations with insights and strategies that show them how to be more productive and efficient. If done well, it will also result in better work life balance and a less stressful workplace.
Two caveats, particularly for management and business owners: 1. Woefully inadequate attention (in this book) to the value of planning as the most effective way to minimize "fires" and "the tyranny of the urgent"; 2. No apparent consideration for time and attention necessary for maintaining the culture and values of the company (e.g., customers always come first, or great performance every time or measure twice, cut once, etc.)
』
(New way of e-mailing) 『"Never Check E-Mail In the Morning" is not about e-mail, it is about time management, self-discipline and productivity in general. The book helps you in self-assessment, helps to embrace your work/life balance, to develop entrepreneurial mindset, to choose the most important tasks, to create the time to get things done, to control the nibblers, to organize at the speed of change, to master delegation, to work well with others and to leverage your value.
Like other popular self-help books, "Never Check E-Mail In the Morning" has no "references" section, which I don't like. Once you have completed this book, you have no direction what to read next. Julie Morgenstern, the author of many time management books and a monthly columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine, and a guest on television and radio programs, probably supposes that you will continue with her further publications.
When the author writes about e-mail and the productivity issues that relate to e-mail, I fully agree with the author. She offers to break counterproductive habits and stereotypes related to our way of emailing. She covers the problems related to e-mail much better that "Hamster Revolution" by Mike Song.
I highly recommend "Getting Things Done" by David Allen and "Time Drive" by Gleb Arkhangelsky in addition to this book. 』 『
Named one of the five best business books by Cathie Black, president of Hearst Magazines, inThe Wall Street Journal
TheNew York Timesbestselling author, Oprah's favorite organizing expert, and America's number one problem solver presents a revolutionary book. It will help readers achieve the seemingly impossible: boost value and job security without sacrificing personal life. Morgenstern teaches innovative "grab and go" solutions that can be processed in as few as fifteen minutes to dramatically improve performance and efficiency, including:
Beware of multitasking. Scattering your efforts makes for a longer day.
Dance near the revenue line. Making or saving money is where your greatest
value lies.
Crunch your container. Shorten your workday by thirty minutes and you will
get more done.
Trust your truth. Never undervalue your unique self, skills, and point of view.
If you've ever wondered,Is it me or is it them? Julie Morgenstern's practical "inside out" approach will help you diagnose the source of each workplace problem and solve it quickly.』

The catchy title tips the reader off to the style and content of this attention-grabbing work. I purchased it for my teens and I also read it. I enjoyed the quick pace and smooth approach that DCYBD employed.
The authors cover: - how to ask questions - critical thinking - defending the truth of the Bible - apologetics for the person and work of Christ.
I recommend you purchase it for your teen and pick up one for yourself. It is thoughtful, stimulating, and it won't bore your High School or College age children.
