My Chicken Fried Steak came out a mahogany color, and the crust had a definite burnt flavor. The frying oil was burnt, not reusable, and oil is not cheap.
Most authoritative cookbooks recommend 320° to 365°F for deep frying. The highest smoke point of readily available shortening is around 350-360°F, only canola and peanut oils are above 400°F.
I would put the ideal temperature at no more than 350°F, 50°F less than this fryer.
Presto Customer Service said I should only use canonla oil (contrary to the enclosed instructions) and if that was not satisfactory, I should return the unit.
I was disappointed and surprised after good reviews.』
(Presto 05420 FryDaddy Electric Deep Fryer) 『After deep frying 150 turnovers, there was minimal oil splatter and clean up, plus 1/3 the amount of oil was needed compared to using a cast iron Dutch oven. Quick delivery too.』
(frydaddy) 『very compact versatile well made unit. it heats up quickly and is a no brainer to use, a really good value』
(Unsafe!) 『We ordered this to use to make french fries now and then. It arrived quickly, with no manual inside (original packaging ordered directly from Amazon). We figured we just plug it in and get frying...
I plugged it in and poured the oil in and started working on the rest of dinner. I have small children so I thought I should probably move the fryer further in on the counter, so I pushed it with my thumb and forefinger...Two 2nd degree burns and a trip to the emergency room later, this thing is going in the trash!
How could a name brand fryer not have a warning that the black matte finish on the outside of the unit gets as hot as the inside?!?!? I just assumed (wrongly, I know) that the sides were insulated and that as long as I was careful not to splash the oil, I'd be fine.
I'm shocked.』
(FryDaddy Review) 『The FryDaddy is the perfect deep frying pot. It heats up in 10 minutes from refrigerator cold oil to oil hot enough to fry in. The FryDaddy comes with a plastic lid that you can store the filled pot in the refrigerator for the next time which is very convenient for those of us who re-use the oil. Very little oil is necessary and there is no splattering of hot oil-it's very clean to use. The plug is magnetically connected to the pot and connects and disconnects very easily both for safety and storage. It is a non stick pot that cleans easily and it comes with a non stick slotted spoon to remove the food.』 『You don't need a 6- gallon oil vat to enjoy deep- fried foods at home--this petite deep fryer makes four big servings with just 4 cups of oil. A compact 7 inches in diameter, the fryer features easy controls for precision frying: it automatically maintains the proper frying temperature, letting you focus on cooking instead of fussing with the controls. The fryer features a snap-on lid, so you can store oil right in the fryer for reuse. All surfaces are nonstick for tidy cleanup (the fryer is not dishwasher-safe and should never be completely immersed in water). A hand scoop is included with the fryer for easy stirring, lifting, and draining, and the 120-volt AC cord unplugs from the outlet, while the attached handle makes the fryer easy to move around the kitchen. The fryer has a two-year limited warranty.--Ariel Meadow Stallings』 『Makes four servings with just four cups of oil. Maintains perfect frying temperature automatically.

(Very nice kettle) 『I bought this to replace my metal whistling kettle. The whistle is louder than my previous ones, so I can hear it from the next room. The glass heats up much quicker than metal. And, it's nice enough to serve from on the table.
I had a couple of minor complaints, however. You need to really turn the kettle at an extreme angle to get the last few ounces of water out of it. While I'm doing this, the steam escapes onto my hand and wrist - not a big deal, but it's uncomfortable. And, the cup markings on the outside are a bit misleading. I have to fill it to 4 cups to fill a single mug for tea. Seems like it's about 4oz per "cup" on the markings.』
(Very Nice Kettle) 『The biggest complaint I could think of about this kettle is that just leaving water in there for one day will leave white residue in the kettle. This is actually a good thing because you can see it and clean it, so you know you are drinking from a clean kettle. I think that is my favorite part of this kettle, that or just how big it is.』

This album makes me proud to be Italian, , It brings me back to the Italian Renaissance, reminding me of the great artistic works of Davinci and Michaelangelo. I'm a composer, musician, producer for 25 years and i give this album straight 10's all across the board!. A true masterpiece just like a Ferrari! a must have for every music aficianado! Bravissimo!』
(Another amazing CD from Eros!!!) 『Well, I was prepared to love this CD, as I love ALL of Eros's music. But this was even better than I expected. How can this man put out such phenomenal music, year after year? I've been listening to this CD for a couple months now, and it has become one of my all-time favorites. I'm always trying to learn Italian but that's not necessary to enjoy Eros's music. There are so many beautiful words with internal rhymes and rhythms that go so beautifully with the extraordinary arrangements. Although Eros does collaborate with others on the music and lyrics, his unique singing is what makes it all work so well. Eros sings with such soul and he has truly mastered the art. I am just so grateful to have Eros's music with me in my life, esp. those long car trips. I feel so reassured when he sings, in "Appunti e noti", "Sono sempre qua con questo spiriti ho." May he ALWAYS continue to be there singing with the same spirit. I, for one, will ALWAYS be listening..... All the songs are great, but some other favories are: Il cammino Parlo con me Ali e radici Non possiamo If you buy this CD, you won't be disappointed!!!』
(Not enough stars available in my opinion) 『I bought this CD on a whim while browsing in Borders. It has been an amazing purchase. Unique, moving, absolutely beautiful beyond words. I have a teenager who wants to learn Italian as a result of listening to this repeatedly in my car while being chauffered about! You have to hear this CD to experience what a master can do with beautiful lyrics and excellent orchestration. Most highly recommend this CD.』
(Outstanding, as usual!) 『Simply put, classic Eros: beautiful music, nice flow, great sound, on and on. I first started listening to him in 1998 while on a trip to Greece. From that point (thanks to my aunt), I have been hooked. I am the proud owner of every CD he has released (including imports) plus his Roma Live DVD! He just gets better and better with age--trust me, you will not be disappointed. NOTE: Be careful when you order the CD...there is an Italian (what I prefer and the best) and a Spanish version.』
(Emotional&beautiful music) 『In this album Eros transmits his emotions through beautiful music&orchestration. As usual the lyrics&production are excellent. His best album in years.』 『ITALIAN LANGUAGE VERSION. 2009 release, the 11th studio album from the Italian superstar, recorded in Los Angeles. All 11 new songs were produced by Eros with Claudio Guidetti (and six tracks co-produced by Michele Canova), and written by Eros with Adelio Cogliati (lyrics) and Claudio Guidetti (music). Both Cogliati and Guidetti are longtime Eros collaborators, having written most of his biggest hits.』

True to its title, this beautifully illustrated and masterfully annotated package is a wonderful representation of Yiddish culture as it flourished in "Di Goldene Medine" [The Golden Land]; a.k.a. America. The listener will find just about every important artist in the world of Yiddish music; including, but not limited to Naftule Brandwein, Dave Tarras, Mishka Ziganoff, Abe Schwartz, Harry Kandel, Yossele Rosenblatt, Berele Chagy, Mordechay Hershman, David Roitman, Alter Yechiel Karniol, Pierre Pinchik, Isa Kremer, Fraydele Oysher, Ludwig Satz, Jennie Goldstein, Maurice Schwartz, Fyvush Finkel and others of equal ability and reputation. The novelty tracks on these CDs are, by themselves, worth the price of this set: "Cohen on the Telephone" will have you in stiches, as will "Getzel at a Baseball Game." This collection was assembled by Sherry Mayrent, whose introductory essay ought to be required reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in this subject and Hank Sapoznik's record annotations provide a concise, informative and thoughtful background for each track. Audio editing and restoration was performed by Chris King, who has succeeded in removing the objectionable surface noise that often accrues to these original recordings over the years and, more importantly, has done so while allowing the warmth of the original performances to shine through.
I've been following this project since its inception and I can honestly say that the folks who put this together share a deep love and respect for this music. It shows.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The greatest generation) 『A complete set of the most historic and realistic filming that will ever be produced of World War 2. This is not viewing entertainment, but rather recorded history of one of the darkest and survival challenging periods in America and the Free World's struggles. Historic in content with a salute to America's Greatest Generation.Film History collectors, find a place for this great set. A world of caution; The VHS set is complete with clear viewing filming and a sound track as filmed in 1950. Several DVD reproductions are reported to been very bad on product quality. I would recommend buying the VHS series and avoiding any of the DVD repros.』
(Older VHS vs new DVD) 『Buyer beware! The newer DVD set of this FABULOUS series is not up to the quality of this VHS edition. The DVDs are made by the History channel, and the sound quality is awful. This older VHS version, produced by New Line features (although on tape) has a much finer sound quality and even the video isn't that bad, compared to the lousey transfer of the DVDs. These are still the finest chronicles of war footage AND narration that have been made of WWll, in my opinion. Try to get thru them without tearing up at the human sacrifice and bravery.
UPDATE: Mill Creek Entertainment now has a 3 disc DVD set for UNDER $10.00 with all the 26 episodes. I have compared them side by side PIP on my TV....Identical prints as the VHS tapes, only slightly sharper on the DVD's. Sound quality same as tapes, Great bargain!』
(Hopelessly Old Fashioned) 『Once considered one of the greatest TV documentaries ever made, no one under the age of fifty is going to be able to sit through this overblown, hoaky collection of war footage. The narration is so overdramatic it's almost laughable, like the propaganda films made during the war to increase morale. Roger's score is great music, but it's just too prominant and often completely inappropriate (like the cheerfull flute music as Hitler marches into Paris).
Skip this dinosaur and go directly to World at War, the great BBC series from the 1970s.』
("Victory at Sea" -- A Victory to See) 『Probably the most extraordinary documentary of World War II ever produced for television, the original 26 episodes of "Victory at Sea" have been collated into six VHS tapes. To own the original 26 volumes on individual tapes is a collector's treasure indeed. Virtually impossible to find in that format and, if you can find it, good luck on the price!
Starting with "Prelude to War," each episode of the series focuses on a distinct naval engagement or campaign in the Second World War. Captured enemy film from various Axis sources enhances the vast collection of U.S. Navy and other Allied and private sources used to compile each episode. The narration by Leonard Graves is superb and the writing for the narration is equally prominent. Narration is always just right and never excessive allowing the viewer to relish the award-winning musical score with its familiar and sometimes haunting refrains. Three long-playing recordings of the original soundtrack and variations thereof from the series were released in the heyday of "high fidelity" recordings. Soundtrack CDs are currently available for those who enjoy the music as much as the video images.
All footage is in black and white and there are some technical "deficiencies" for the purists among the viewing audience. However, considering the series made its television debut in 1952, the historical accuracy, content and balanced perspective are truly remarkable. In the episode centered around the climactic naval and island battle for Okinawa, Leonard Graves describes the kamikaze threat to the U.S. fleet off the island as a "duel between gunners who fight to live and pilots who fight to die." There is no judgment of kamikaze fanaticism a mere seven years after the end of the war. Episode after episode, it is a factual account of what occurred on the vast oceans and seas of the world without political inclination of any sort.
"Victory at Sea" is a true classic documentary of American television with the bonus of one of the most enduring soundtracks of any film presentation of any kind. It is a mandatory addition to the video library of anyone interested in World War II -- especially all aspects of the war at sea. Selections from the series should be used to educate the youth of the nation in the secondary schools to convey the scale and sacrifice of so many six decades ago.』
(I want to buy the DVD for this set too!) 『Ditto that from viewer in New Orleans. I have seen this series on TV years ago and I am hoping it will be on DVD soon.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Outstanding Big Band Music&Swing Dancing!) 『Eric Felton and his band warps us back to the USO canteen and the sexy 40s with his wonderful music! The swing dancers really add to the atmosphere! You can't get any better than this for the greatest hits of the 1940s! Even the microphone that he uses is from that era. I'm hoping he'll release a DVD on this magnificent masterpiece.』
(Big Band Sound of WWll) 『I am an activity director at a retirement community. The residents loved this video. It really brought all the memories of that era and those that were able were up dancing and those that could not dance were singing and tapping their feet. They not only enjoyed the music but the added touch of the swing dancers really brought it all back for them.
It delivers what it promises...the spirit, style and sound of that unforgettable music. We only had one complaint...it was too short. We could have watched for hours.』
(The Big Band Sound of World War II) 『This video provides one hour of wonderful entertainment. Eric sings in a very appealing fashion, with a very pleasant-sounding voice. He makes the top notes seem easy. His captivating stage presence, along with his trombone playing, lend a great deal to the performance value of this production. The orchestra, under Eric's direction, plays the jazzy/swing arrangements expertly. The "girl" singer, Mary Cleere Haran, is an asset to the production. The piano player is amazing, seemingly so at ease at the keyboard. The setting, resembling a USO hall of the wartime period, creates a place to showcase the unique style of the swing dancers. Eric is a multitalented person who obviously enjoys what he does, and strives for perfection. I think anyone who has feeling and appreciation for the good music reminiscent of the World War II era would be pleased with this video. Eric shines!!!』
(A pre-release review) 『A few weeks ago, I watched a pre-release extract of"WW II Big Bands"on a local TV station. I enjoyed it very much. Eric Felten is better than Glen Miller! He plays not only the trombone, but sings, too. Further, it's not only the orchester, but they also show how dancing looked like in those days. The tunes brought back old memories to me. I heard and liked all of them as a teenager after the US soldiers had brought them to Berlin, my home town, in the summer of 1945.』 『The Big Band Sound of WWII
With the Eric Felten Jazz Orchestra Featuring Special Guest Mary Cleere Haran
Imagine yourself in the US Armed Services at the height of World War II. A long way from home, you yearn for music, company and the chance to hold a girl in your arms. You head down to the local canteen. The hall is draped in red, white and blue. The floor is filled with servicemen and their sweethearts, dancing to the joyous sound of a roaring big band.
The spirit, style and sound of that unforgettable time are recreated in this one-of-a-kind concert film, featuring 18 of the era's greatest swing tunes. Renowned crooner and bandleader Eric Felten is joined by noted vocalist Mary Cleere Haran, a 30-piece jazz orchestra, and some of America's finest swing dancers to celebrate the music that helped win the war.
These are the songs that inspired a generation-We'll Meet Again, Kalamazoo, As Time Goes By, In the Mood, Sentimental Journey, and many other favorites. Relive the joy and sweet sorrow of The Big Band Sound of WWII, forever captured in the heartwarming and nostalgic musical tribute.
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Very enlightening!) 『Even though this DVD is rather short (60 minutes), it captures the essence of the spirituality of Coltrane's music. Covers the approach of openess Coltrane took to his music incorporating Indian and eastern rythmns which inspired him and which was a basis of his spiritual development. It has a complete take on "My favorite things" which is really electrifying and also shows Coltrane jammin with Miles Davis as well. John Coltrane's music captures you and takes you on a spiritual journey unlike any other jazz musician (except maybe Miles). Very introspective interviews with his former sidemen as well. Even though the picture quality is grainy on some parts, the music is alive and mystifying and conveys Coltrane's musical genius. I highly recommend this DVD to any Coltrane fan, this is now one of my favorite DVD's in my collection along with "Miles Electric".』
(The best ever My Favorite Things...) 『
If this version of MFT was only available on CD, it would certainly be the best version ever... There's only some problems with that: although the doco does contain the entirety of Coltrane's solo after Tyner's, it does not include the beginning of the performance...and also, the sound quality is so extremely bad that it almost makes you weep.
Still, this is incredible music. Coltrane here breaks so free from the studio version of the piece that one wonders why none of the recorded (or bootlegged) versions seem to have this much power...this is truly an outstanding performance, which we are lucky to have.
The visuals are also astoundingly powerful - you can see the strain in Coltrane's face, and in Elvin Jones' - drool begins dripping out of the end of the soprano sax, and at one point Coltrane (deeply into the performance) accidentally clubs the microphone with it! The visual details make this performance almost frightening to watch - one wonders what a real live performance of coltrane was like.
The other performances on this disc are very fine too - look at the ONLY complete recording of Alabama (not a single CD version has the whole piece) and it's on video too! There's a couple of fierce performances of Impressions - one with Eric Dolphy - and a superb Naima.
There is finally colour footage of Coltrane at the Newport '65 concert (New thing at Newport) which shows the frightening energy of his music making as well as the fact that James Garrison had appalling dress sense...
』
(Excellent Documentary) 『The performance footage alone would be worth the price of this 1 hour documentary that focuses on the music and life of John Coltrane. Clips are included from his work with Miles Davis and also his classic quartet in an extended version of My Favorite Things. In addition there is a clip that flashes back and forth between the Southern Church tradition and Coltrane's soloing that clearly links the two and demonstrates the roots of his art in a tangible way. The interviews with Alice Coltrane, Wayne Shorter and others are illuminating and show how influential Coltrane was for other musicians. For any fan of Coltrane's music that never had the chance to see him perform this DVD offers a great opportunity to get a glimpse at the man behind all of that wonderful music. I absolutely loved it.』
("He integrated all of the music of the world") 『I've watched quite a few documentaries lately and this is one of very best. It is straight ahead--covering Coltrane's background and musical journey through the years. There is a lot of excellent footage of him and other musicians playing--a real treat for those who like jazz from his era, as I do. There are short clips of Charlie Parker, Monk, and Ravi Shankar. In addition, one gets exposure to members of Coltrane's bands including solos by Eric Dolphy and Roscoe Mitchell, and plenty of good footage of Elvin Jones on the drums. Early on, there is a clip of Coltrane when he was in the Miles Davis band. Miles plays a bit, then Coltrane steps into a solo and the viewer can immediately see what a powerful force he was.
This film includes a long solo of Coltrane and his band playing"My Favorite Things"--where he works himself into a feverish mood. The film effectively draws a comparison between Coltrane's playing and a spiritual trance, not unlike what he would have experienced in church as a young person in North Carolina.
There are some great interviews with Rashied Ali, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Heath, Wayne Shorter, LaMonte Young and Alice Coltrane. In addition to the well-chosen footage, I like this film so well because it treats the viewer as intelligent. It isn't filled with superlatives and excessive fawning. It isn't condescending."A Love Supreme"is barely mentioned. The interviewees talk to the camera (to you) like you're a real person who's curious about the life and the music of Coltrane. For a jazz fan, this is a real treasure. For someone who doesn't know much about Coltrane, it would probably be an excellent introduction. The length is about one hour.』
(Coltrane is great - movie is weak) 『Coltrane and his music is really genius. The same I expect from the movie about him. Why I consider it weak: 1. It is only 60 min and not all the time is for his music. DVD can fill>3 h. 2. Comments are interrupting his performance. The sessions are cut at the middle. I think I need to wait for DVD writer and create the movie that I want by myself. I want to have whole session of performance from Jazz Casual (weak picture, but the sound recording is good). I want to see as much as possible from Kind of Blue, My Favorite Things, Giants Steps and Love Supreme. I saw the parts from these sessions but I want to have all of it. I don't care that the picture can be weak, but I want to see Coltranes fingers and hear his sax. Also for music DVD it should be the option to play only music without comments, because after couple of times you probable want to hear only music and not listen to the story.』 『John Coltrane is easily one of the key innovators, visionaries, and virtuosos of American Jazz. Coltrane's spiritually influenced and challenging music not only turned the jazz world upside down in the 1960s, but directly impacted all modern music for decades to follow. It is this relationship between music and spirituality that is the core ofJohn Coltrane: The World According to John Coltrane. Produced with his wife's cooperation,The World According to John Coltraneis truly a heartfelt documentary on his work and influence on the music community. The bulk of the 60-minute documentary focuses on Coltrane's eastern spirituality/musical direction in the 1960s as told through the voices of friends, fellow musicians, and admirers. Perhaps the most impressive aspects of this documentary are its live footage clips. Listening to Coltrane is extremely powerful, but watching him pour his heart and soul into his sax is absolutely awe-inspiring. These clips will leave you yearning to see the entire performances, unedited. Unfortunately, this is the DVD's one fault; no extras of the performances in their entirety. Oh well. A fan can dream.--Rob Bracco』

(Looks like R2D2 but heats well) 『Strengths:
Powerful heater, it warms up a room fairly quickly. The heated air can be directed horizontally or vertically with the vent control. This heater would be a good choice in cold climates.
Thermostat seems pretty good at keeping the room at a constant temperture.
Has auto (thermostat controlled), low, high heating modes. Only the low heating mode is quiet.
Cool to touch, can be placed against wall.
Remote control works well.
Weaknesses:
Unit is not as quiet as would be hoped. This may be an issue if you are watching TV or going to sleep with the heater on. In the low heat mode, the fan is fairly quiet, but then the heater will remain constantly on (the automatic mode that controls the heater using the thermostat uses both high and low heat modes). The remote control can help alleviate this problem.
Unit is LARGER than most alternatives (be sure to note dimensions). Not as easy to store in summer months.
Remote control "beep" from the unit is pretty loud.』
(Delivers the HEAT! Safe, Quiet, and Powerful) 『Product is terrific. Received yesterday and my finished basement(1000sq ft.) is already warm and toasty. Product has very intuitive controls and auto temp control is terrific. Love the fact that it has a timer so you can govern your electric bill.
The great thing about this item is the fact that it pulls cool air up through a bottom vent and then the heated air exits through the vents on top. This really circulates the air and warms up the room very quickly.
Power consumption doesn't appear to be too bad. Doesn't trip the circuit breakers even on high heat.
Price is fantastic for what you get. Build quality seems very strong. We'll see if the ionizer does anything. Can't hurt.』
(Does a great job but a bit noisey) 『UPDATE: Seems like the noise I previously reported has soften somewhat during these days. Maybe there is a break in period for the cyclonic fan... I don't know, but at least I can now fall asleep. It's still noisy in comparison to other heaters but I am very happy nonetheless. The remote is key btw. I use it every night to turn it on and/or set the timer. I can even use it in the dark since the function buttons are surrounding the one large power button. You remember where the timer button or temperature button is located and you definitely know which is the power button.
The bottom line is that this heater looks great against the wall, taking very little space in depth and with it's manual 90 degree rotation for output flow, it easily heats up my 15x15 drafty renovated room, when compared to smaller 1500watt heaters. The remote is very convenient to use while waking up in the morning BUT this is NOT the quietest heater I ever had. Since Auto Temp control only works in high setting, if you want to go to sleep with the heater ON while using the Timer, the noise from the fan will keep you awake. The rotation noise is flawed and is even louder than my air purifier. I will be exchanging this model at Sears to see if this was just an isolated incident and will update this review with the details in the future.
Overall, a great heater that looks great against the wall and does a very good job at heating a room, despite the noise.』
(Pleasantly Surprised) 『I just bought this last night at a local home-improvement store (for less than a new one here). I got an extended warranty on it.

(Overpriced&Two Handles Unnecessary) 『I quickly ordered this without reading the full description and was disappointed to see on delivery that there are only two pods in the package and each comes with it's own handle.

(Here's my beef...) 『I have to agree that the availablility of these things is a problem. The trouble I'm having is the fact that these places want to charge me $10+ to ship them.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review ("The Animal" Unleashed) 『Now before I get started, I'll admit that I'm not a big Batista fan. I'll admit that I believe there are plenty of other subjects&wrestlers in WWE that are more indemand to be released onto DVD than Batista (just like a majority of the Chris Jericho supporters in the previous reviews&I personally would like more "legends" sets using the footage from their vault). However, I'm not blind either in that it's a fact that Batista has been one of the biggest&most popular stars in WWE for going on the past 5 years weather I like it or not®ardless if I do or don't agree with the reasons that is...and another thing I can't deny is that Batista has been in some of the best matches on certain PPV cards for the past couple of years. The guy is already in his 40's&he's not expected to be around for a very long time either so it's better business to strike while he's still at the peak of his popularity&career. Not everything WWE Home Video puts out appeals to all audiences and this is one of those cases where you just have made up your mind&don't care for Batista then this release isn't for you, this was the decision that was made weather we like it or not&there isn't anything we can do about it now.
The documentry stars off talking about Batista's childhood growing up in the rough area of Washington D.C. and how he came the "man of the house" at an early age before going into his experiences of moving to San Francisco&Virginia. How he started weightlifting in high school&his early "easy money" jobs were talked about before going in the story of his relationship with his future (now ex) wife Angie. How Batista got involved with wrestling originally through WCW&later with a WWE Hall Of Famer was talked about before getting into the story behind his WWE developmental character Leviathan. His career starting as Deacon Batista&eventually becoming a member of Evolution is discussed with various important moment being highlighed. How the fans "chose him" over Randy Orton leading to his WrestleMania match against Triple H is also talked about including various issues he had going into the match&the incident that happened backstage after the match as well. The documentry got real personal as the negative effect the business had on his relationship with Angie along with Dave's issues with his oldest daughter were heavily discussed. The move to SmackDown (and the "heat" he had backstage with the roster)&how close he got with Eddie Guerrero&Rey Mysterio is discussed before heavily going into the popularity he's had with the Philippino community. The story behind him forfitting the World Title due to injury, his surgery&comeback, and regaining the title from King Booker is discussed before talking about his feuds against Undertaker, Edge, and Shawn Michaels before closing out the documentry on his celebrity status leading into other TV shows&various magazine covers.
DVD extras include bonus stories of Batista talking about a brutal version of "Hide&Seek" he used to play as a kid, Batista&his mom telling stories of his rough neighborhood that resulted in 3 different shootings in his first yard, being a lifeguard at the community pool, funny story behind filming a Leviathan segment, what happened when Dave spent $500 on a new suit for his WWE debut, what happened when he went to a pool tournament with Triple H, the moment he gained the most respect for Eddie Guerrero&how Eddie helped Dave's relationship with his daughter, a gift he gave Chavo Guerrero, and the story behind his "geeky" lunchbox collection.
Also include are two disc of bonus matches including... vs. Kane - This match was just wasn't good&boring for the most part. Batista was still very green at the time&Kane can only carry his opposition so far in a match but it just didn't work here. Armageddon '02
vs. World Champion Triple H - The match itself was just HHH beating down on Batista until he pissed him off&"unleashed the Animal"&beat up HHH in a way we haven't seen in a long time, at that point, all the way to winning the World Heavyweight Championship. If you watch the documentry, you'll find out an interesting fact in that Batista didn't have feeling in one of his legs during this match. WrestleMania 21
Hell In A Cell Match vs. Triple H - An awesome match that tops their WrestleMania match by so many points . You could see the hardcore influence in this match as so many hardcore weapons (barbed wire chairs for example) were used. Triple H bleeds buckets once again and is one of this best matches of not just the night but his career period. Vengeance '05 ("Triple H: King Of Kings"&"Hell In A Cell")
No Holds Barred Match vs. JBL - This match was pretty short&sweet but if you saw their Great American Bash match, you'll know why. Batista was also in his hometown so he put on one of this best performances given the conditions. SummerSlam '05
vs. Eddie Guerrero - This was more about "putting over a storyline" than having a great match because Eddie was putting over the storyline of "not lying, cheating, and stealing." The match was good but again, nothing really memorable besides the fact that this was the last we'll see of Eddie Guerrero on WWE PPV. No Mercy '05 ("Viva La Raza: The Legacy Of Eddie Guerrero")
vs. World Champion King Booker - This match was about one thing, Batista winning the belt back in the arena he lost it in. This was better than their SummerSlam match but that's not saying much. This was another performance that Batista "walked through" to the point to where the people started to leave&you could hear small "boring" chants. Again, it wasn't a horrible match but it was just dry&boring. Survivor Series '06
vs. Undertaker - Taker's Undefeated Streak vs. Batista's Title and I'll be point blank honest, this was the match that should have ended the show. This was Batista's best showing since he returned from his injury as he stepped up his game&didn't show any lack of effort like most of his previous performances. This was a classic "big money" WrestleMania match&the match of the night for me as you saw the crowd off the chain thoughout the bout&even moments where it looked like Batista was going to end the streak&one spot to look out for would be Undertaker's big dive onto Batista. It's ironic that this was the 20 year anniversary of WrestleMania 3 but Undertaker walks out of his WM the same way he did 10 years earlier...as a champion. WrestleMania 23
Steel Cage Match vs. World Champion Edge - Well, this heavily makes up for their Judgment Day match as Batista did carry his own weight here in this cage match. It's wasn't a bloody massacre (eventhough Edge got a bad gash near his lip) but a watchable matchup where again, it was so close between both men. One Night Stand '07
w/Special Referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Undertaker - Undertaker brought out the type of performance from Batista that he needed after that godawful series of matches with Khali. Just like their previous trilogy of matches, this was a awesome match from start to finish. Cyber Sunday '07
vs. John Cena - Both Cena&Batista have a reputation for being too "off&on/hot&cold" during their matches but that wasn't the case here as both men brought forth a strong effort&were on the ball in this match. Batista used a different type of offense than we normally see from him as he showed signs of Ric Flair's offense of attack the leg&even used the figure four submission along with a rear naked choke later on while Cena also worked on the leg to set up the STFU. From reversing each others moves like the powerslam into the FU&the leg drop off the top into a powerbomb before Batista unleashed "the animal" and proved he was as as Michael Cole put it, "three seconds better than Cena.". SummerSlam '08
vs. Randy Orton - After teasing a match between these two since the days of Evolution, they lock up for the first time ever...since the episode of RAW after WrestleMania 21. This was one of those matches that I honestly felt didn't go past "first gear" as they kept the same pace throughout the match with it only picking up at various spots with their impact moves&counters instead of just building up over time but I'll give credit here for telling a story with each move of Orton's being very calculated. It was a good match but I felt like it didn't live up to the "4 years" hype they used to build up this match. Armageddon '08
Also included are a match as his OVW character Leviathan vs. Doug Basham, Shawn Michaels at Armageddon '03, a tables match with Ric Flair vs. Dudley Boyz from Royal Rumble '04, Chris Jericho at Vengeance '04, his performance in the '05 Royal Rumble, triple threat vs. King Booker&Finaly from "SmackDown" in Dec. '06, and the Evolution reunion with Triple H&Ric Flair vs. Edge&Umaga&another former Evolution member in Randy Orton from the 15th Anniversary Edition of RAW.
In the end, this was exactly what I stated in the beginning as this is strickly a DVD for Batista fans as far as the documentry goes because the fact is that Batista hasn't had a long career so there weren't many stories to tell but at least they tried to make up for it by getting deep in his personal life&were honest with various subjects (unlike how they heavily overexaggeraed&lied on Cena's) like his backstage heat&his attitude when he came to SmackDown. As for the match selection, it's nice that they didn't get alot of matches already released on other DVD's (unless you buy every single PPV DVD they put out) they got most of Batista's best performances on here (you notice there was no mention of Great Khali anywhere on this set) but there are some matches on here just to document a moment (like the S. Series match with Booker) or a stage in his career (his OVW match) along with some other flops (like the match with Kane) that could have easily been replaced with another match or important moment from his career like his Backlash rematch against Triple H, winning the tag team titles with Mysterio, or his title victory against Jericho at Cyber Sunday '08. In the end, if your already a big fan of Batista then odds are your going to get this anyways but if you aren't then I would suggest to get this set based off the match selection more than anything else because the documentry was lacking due to Batista not having a long career. 』
(The Animal is Unleashed) 『This is a fantastic DVD for one of the best superstars in WWE today, The Animal Batista. Tons of great moments and matches are included, like his classic matches with Triple H, Undertaker, and his epic encounter with John Cena. However other great matches are missing, like his great series of matches with Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho in 2008. They are only briefly mentioned in the documentary. I would have also included the Last Man Standing match or Hell in a Cell with the Undertaker, the Punjabi Prison match with The Great Khali, the second Night of Champions match with Edge, and his world title match with CM Punk at The Great American Bash.
But in the end, this is still a must-have DVD for all die-hard WWE fans!』
(Batista Walks Alone) 『I will preface this review by saying that I have been a Batista fan since early in 2002. I discovered him through Ohio Valley Wrestling, and was instantly hooked with his captivating character. This is an unbiased review however, and not a case of a fangirl screaming over a loved wrestler.
What I liked the most about the DVD was Disc One, the interviews with people who know Batista the best. He has always struck me as a very humble man, and he certainly comes across that way in the interviews. When you listen to him speak, he gives credit where credit is due. It isn't only his interviews that I enjoyed, it was great seeing the people who are so important in his life. As I said, I've been a fan of Batista since the very early days, and seeing Jonathan Meisner, a person I used to interact with on Batista's official message board was interesting. Hearing many of the stories from his book "Batista Unleashed" told in person was enjoyable. Also, there are pictures shown on this DVD that I do not remember from the book.
Disc Two and Three feature matches, and even though I had seen all of the matches before, it was nice seeing them again all in one place. I almost wish they had included more OVW matches, in particular the match where he saved Ric Flair's son David from John Cena and Sean O'Haire. Two other older matches that were included were awesome, Batista vs Shawn Michaels from Armageddon 2003, and Batista vs Jericho from Vengeance 2004. Of course, my favorite match is Batista vs HHH Wrestlemania 2005, especially since I can see me holding my sign during the build up to the match.
Overall, I found the product very entertaining, and the production is very slick.』
(In-Depth Story.) 『I Was Actually Against Purchasing This DVD, So I Had Rented This One. Like The Internet Wrestling Community, I Was Also Against Batista Coming Out With A DVD This Early In His Career, Despite Other Performers Such As Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Even From The Likes Of Mid-Carders Like Shelton Benjamin As Well. I Haven't Read The Book, But I Think That Since That Was Released, Maybe Some Readers Thought That He Should Put Out A DVD For The Non-Literary Community.
I Personally Love WWE DVD's That Really Get Into The Subject's Life And Upbringing And Also What Bought Them Into The Business, Let Alone Deep Backstage Issues And Rumors That The IWC Always Reads Everyday.
For Those People Who Like Non-Kayfabe WWE Documentaries, This One Is One To At Least Rent (For All Those Who Do Have Netflix Accounts.) This One To Me Is Intriging, But Not Much As The Shawn Michaels DVD Back In 2007, Or The Ric Flair DVDs.
P.S.- Also, I Was Pretty Much Glad This Wasn't Those Complilation DVDs Of Just Superstars And Their Matches, Like The Macho Man Collection.』
(Eager to purchase) 『Batista is Friday night Smackdown and is the best.I cannot wait to order this dvd. How come it was not well rated. Hopefully he will do good at bragging rights this sunday.

(jumanji review) 『Love this movie, exciting, funny, good for the whole family! Unable to locate this item in the stores, but of course, now I'm learning, just go to amazon.com to find anything you desire. Great service and prices.』
(Action and adventure for the kids) 『Find a comfortable chair, lay out the board, grab the dice, and get ready to play. But remember: once you start this game, you can't stop. If it takes you over twenty years to finish, finish you must. "Jumanji" is loosely based on the Caldecott Medal-winning children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. The basic premise stays the same: a sister and brother find a strange game based on a jungle safari adventure. When they begin playing it, they find they cannot stop, for the characters and events of the game come to life and start filling their house with monkeys, lions, explorers and other strange things. Only finishing the game will make it all go away. In the hands of Hollywood, more story is added. Now we have a game spanning 26 years, when one of the two children playing the game in 1969 gets sucked into the game itself. He's trapped there until a fresh pair of children in 1995 find the game and begin playing. The right number is rolled, and out Alan comes...as Robin Williams! Finding the grown girl to complete the group, the four must complete the game before their town is destroyed by the stampeding rhinos, killer pod vines and crazed Great White Hunter. Robin has some good moments in this film, though he isn't allowed to riff as much as in other vehicles. He's supported by an excellent cast, including a young Kirsten Dunst as the sister of the new pair of children; Jonathan Hyde as both the 1969 father and Van Pelt, the Great White Hunter from the game; and Bebe Neuwirth as the modern children's aunt. The effects are, not surprisingly, ILM-excellent -- necessary in a film of this type. The script was co-written by Van Allsburg to insure the atmosphere of the film and book mesh, but he did not fall into the "This is MY baby" syndrome, and received good help from his two co-writers (for details, see the main page). Highly recommended for old and young alike.』
(The Everlasting Game) 『This movie is a lot of fun. It's full of action and adventure and, at the same time, has its very tender moments. You can't help but get interested in the characters immediately and you stay involved until the very satisfying conclusion.』
(Puh-Lease!) 『I couldn't wait to see JUMANJI when it first came out in the mid-Nineties. A magical board game that brings the wilds of the jungle to life? Action, mayhem, and special effects? Robin Williams? Sign me up!
Yet I walked away from the theater disappointed with this movie; and the other day after viewing it on cable my disappointment hasn't wavered. While some scenes were certainly exciting and entertaining, for the most part JUMANJI was annoying--from David Alan Grier's (who added nothing to this film) wrecked police cruiser, to Robin Williams's "poor me" sappiness, to Kirsten Dunst being an irritating smart aleck, to a young Bradley Pierce whimpering with monkey makeup on. Yuck. And the special effects. . .let's just say CGI has come a long way since the last decade. No, the monkeys and spiders and bats and elephants and the lion and rhinos did not look real. And what, pray tell, was the point in playing this (terrifying) game in the first place? Games are played for fun--not to teach near-lethal life lessons.
Now the good. Jonathan Hyde was fun to watch in his dual role as Williams's father/hunter-protagonist; and Bebe Neuwirth is always easy on the eye, no matter what the venue. And I liked the juvenile, bawdy, irreverent orneriness of the game board itself; in many ways it was the best character in JUMANJI, and kept the movie from rolling snake eyes. --D. Mikels, Author, The Reckoning』 『Based on the children's book by Chris Van Allsburg,Jumanjistars Robin Williams as a man who escapes his confinement within a devilish board game, only to be followed by all kinds of exotic problems: elephants, lions, zebras, monkeys, floods, giant insects, killer plants, and a big-game hunter. The computer-generated effects all wreak havoc through quiet streets, and while most of this is pretty fun, relationship conflicts and character development are weak and forgettable. The high point, in comic terms, is probably David Alan Grier's hilarious performance as a cop catching the worst of these various plagues--one at a time. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, Dolby sound, optional French and Spanish soundtracks, optional Spanish and Korean subtitles.--Tom Keogh』 『A magical board game serves as a door to another dimension in this adventure fantasy based on Chris Van Allsburg's award-winning children's book. When a pair of orphans discover the game and start playing it they unwittingly unleash a man (Robin Williams) who's been trapped inside--as well as an array of stampeding jungle animals, brought vividly to the screen courtesy of ILM's computer-generated special effects.

Now that that's done; I couldn't imagine Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in an action film but they pulled it off well. Nobody can top what Adams, Feldon, Platt, Kopell, etc. did in the series and the actors in this don't rip off their interpretations or belittle what they had done. Carell plays Max with a deadpan wit, which I enjoy, compared to Adams' nasily voice which defined the character back in the 60s and it still does now. Hathaway is the accomplished agent who doesn't even tolerate Max until the end while Feldon immediately fell in love with him. Platt's Chief grew exasperated with Max's antics while Arkin's actually admired Max's talent. And Kopell (who makes a cameo) used a thick German accent while Terence Stamp is an English actor who plays Seigfreid with a bit more menace. The references to the series are excellent from Max's catchphrase to the shoe-phone. Even the three cars Adams drove in the opening credits are featured. The plot is a little cliched (drawing comparisons from how Steve Martin's Clouseau gets humiliated only to be redeemed in the end) and some twists aren't that surprising but it doesn't stop this from being funny and exciting. The gags and jokes are clever (this being one of few comedies I've seen in theatres and the whole audience was laughing) but the vomit joke was disgusting and not remotely funny. The action sequences were executed well, some scenes being homages to the Bond films (the original series being a spoof of them) such as the free fall fight sequence with Dalip (who reminds me a little of Richard Keil's Jaws and Kabir Bedi's Gobinda) from Moonraker. Trevor Rabin's score is excellent and I love the reorchestrated TV theme.』
(Funny, but not a classic like the show) 『Get Smart is based on the classic 1960s sitcom starring Don Adams as Maxwell Smart and Barbara Feldon as agent 99. In the movie Steve Carrell as Smart is Control's top analyst but he wants to be an agent. He finally gets his chance when Control agents all over the world are attacked at once by KAOS and they are left short handed. So agent 86 goes on his first mission with agent 99 played by Ann Hathaway.
The cast play their parts with verve and their are several laugh out loud moments in the movie, but it doesn't sustain the laughs throughout. People who didn't watch the TV show may like it more. I loved the old show and found the differences off-putting. Don Adams played Smart with a bumbling arrogance. Carrell is a brilliant comedic actor but he played Smart so straight he had almost no personality. Barbara Feldon's 99 was smart and confident but also vulnerable. Hathaway's 99 was self-centered and abrasive at times. Get Smart is a funny movie but not a classic like the TV show.』
(Steve Carell: Smart&Funny / Anne Hathaway: Smart&Sexy) 『Great fun movie for all viewers as it captures the brilliant British humor that has made the UK series such a big hit. The casts of the film were brilliant as they all had a complimentary role to the two leads; Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. I would definitely recommend this film to all movie goers as it is jam packed with smart and sexy humor and comprises of some pretty cool action sequences but the comedy is the bread and butter of this film.』
(Fun Action!) 『Totally laugh out loud movie! If you're a Steve Carell fan - actually if you're an 'office' Steve Carell fan - go out and rent this DVD right now cuz you're missing out! This was such a fun action movie with all the special effects and excitement still very present. Awesome Awesome. Steve Carell does his 'thing' in this movie and he is just too awesome for words. To speak something so ridiculous with a straight face in such a serious situation - I wonder how his co-stars managed to get through the scenes without laughing their heads off. And the sparkling diamond of the movie - Anne Hathaway - is it just me, or does she get more beautiful in each film? She is a 'knock out.' Really lovely to see her combine her comic talents with the swift actions. This woman can kick butts with sexy style. All the other casts were downright hilarious. Alan Arkin - need I say more? And the geek twins Bruce and Lloyd were truly icing on the cake. Nice to see Masi Oka - the Japanese hero who travels through time - in such a fun movie. I did knock one star off cuz the friends I went to see the movie with weren't as enthusiastic as I was. Obviously, I know they're wrong. I have seen this movie three times.』
(Funny movie) 『Get Smart is a funny movie. The combination of Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway unexpectedly provided good laughs and good acting. It is entertaining to watch for the whole family. Blu- ray picture quality is excellent. Sound reproduction added another dimension to the movie.』 『The Cold War may be over, but that doesn't mean it can't still be milked for laughs.Get Smart, the sassy film version of the Mel Brooks/Buck Henry-created '60s TV satire, brings plenty of elements of the original series and spins it freshly into the new world of bad guys in the 21st century, pretty much without losing a beat. Steve Carell is perfectly cast as the bumbling Maxwell Smart--but in a slick improvement on the TV show, Smart isn't really hapless--though he has a bit of a self-esteem problem (all around his apartment are sticky notes with exhortations like "You can DO it!"). Carell's Maxwell Smart is a sharp techie researcher at the uber-secret crime-battling agency, CONTROL, who's just a little out of his element out in the field. As his data-crunching sidekick Bruce (Masi Oka ofHeroes) says, "We'rethe ones guarding democracy!", aghast that Max would want to be an agent.
But Max longs for the action enjoyed by the likes of Agent 23 (a godlike Dwayne Johnson), with glamorous deployments around the world. When he finally gets his dream assignment--as the newly minted Agent 86--he's paired up with the slick and experienced Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway), who provides great lines, not to mention some interesting chemistry, while she continually saves Max from harm's way. The cast is terrific, with memorable appearances by Alan Arkin as the Chief, Terrence Stamp as the head of the uber-evil KAOS, and Bill Murray as a (literally) put-out-to-pasture agent whose spy post is inside a tree ("really great, old-school stuff" he calls his assignment). And there's plenty of action, explosions, and creative shootouts with the bad guys (highlight: a freefall from a plane, with two people and just two parachutes). But it's Carell and his combination of insecure yearning and deadpan delivery that makeGet Smartas, well, smart as it is. When Max learns he's finally been promoted to agent, he slips into the Cone of Silence--which unfortunately is malfunctioning. "I'm so happy! I'm so happy!" he yells, as his colleagues sit nearby hearing the whole thing. Discovering that, he purses his lips and says, "Well, that's a sucker-punch to the gonads." Sorry about that. --A.T.

(Yummy Green Tea) 『The Timothy's green tea is fabulous. I have the Keurig platinum and use the largest cup setting and it makes the perfect cup of tea...just add a little honey and you're good to go! I only gave it four stars as I'm not sure how a cup of tea would turn out on a smaller cup setting...it may be a bit too strong.』

(EASY GREEN TEA (decaf)) 『 I love green tea (I need decaffinated). However to do regular brewing took at least five minutes. I then found Timothy's decafinated green tea(K cups)and W0W one minute and you have bold flavorful tea.』 『Green Tea K-Cups, since ancient times, many medicinal benefits have been attributed to green tea. Green tea is less processed than other teas and most of the original plant substances remain, including chlorophyll. This gives green tea its color. Timothy's Green tea has a dark golden color with a roasted flavor. It is fantastic to drink with meals, and it complements most meats and vegetables. A healthy choice to drink everyday.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Digital ICE not working for Windows 7) 『So far I'm happy with the scanner after just setting it up.
However, after downloading all the software and the Adobe Elements that goes with the scanner, somehow the DIGITAL ICE feature is greyed out and not available to use. I have sent in a request to Epson. Everything else appears normal (scanning works, and even the dust feature), so I was originally thinking that this problem was because of one of my settings. However, I've clicked and unclicked everything in the professional scan mode, and nothing gives me access to DIGITAL ICE. Does anyone have any experience with this?』
(Just Getting Started) 『Easy to hook up, software installed smoothly and seems like a nice sturdy unit. I like how the lid automatically "holds" in the up position so you can place photos on glass with one hand. Makes in easy to swap to the next pic when doing large amounts. So far the images look great. Been doing them at 600dpi, which is a large high quality photo. It will actually go up to 12,800dpi...I don't think that would fit in my house! So far I've scanned about 75 photos and I'm really liking it and would definitely recommend it.』
(Scanner) 『We did a good bit of searching various companies for price comparisons and found this to be by far the best deal. In addition this is exactly what we have been seeking. It is likely that we will purchase at least one more just like it.

(Fast and Easy to Use) 『After going back and forth on a number of different scanners to replace my old Scanjet 3970, I settled on this one. My requirements were: 1. Had to be fast. I've got a lot of pictures to scan in and I want to scan at decent resolution (at least 1200 DPI). 2. Had to handle negatives. I've got a lot of old negatives to scan in. 3. Had to be easy to use and "mindless". I typically scan photos and such in during the day and need to be able to drop them on the scanner and hit a single button.
This scanner has met all of those expectations.
A few minor complaints: 1. I can't find a way to specify an output directory. If there is a way it's well hidden. 2. The accessories for holding the slides and negatives seem a bit "flimsy". They haven't broken on me but I could see it happening. 3. The accessories are "loose". To use the slide scanner adapter you have to take out the regular backing for the scanner. And when you aren't using them the accessories have no storage area.
These are minor complaints, however.
Over all the speed is excellent and the picture quality outstanding. It handles negatives flawlessly and can hold up to 12 negatives on two strips at a time saving them each to different files. 』
(Good Scanner) 『I did my research, and without breaking my budget picked this model. This scanner is very easy to use. I customize every photo I scan and it works great and pretty quick. I was scanning some 1940's and early 70's pictures and they came out pretty clear. I have not tried the negatives yet but so far I am very happy with my purchase.』 『The Epson Perfection V500 Photo features a built-in transparency unit for positive or negative film up to medium format. It scans 12 frames of 35mm filmstrip, four frames of mounted 35mm slides or 1 frame of 6x12cm medium format film at once, ideal for preserving old family images. Four easy access buttons are located on the front of the scanner to initiate scan to application, scan to PDF, scan to email and copy. They offer a quick and easy way to scan an image without the need to access settings on the computer. The scan to PDF function allows an image or multiple pages to be scanned and automatically saved to a specified PDF file, while the scan to email button allows documents or images to be copied and sent anywhere in the world at the touch of a button. Software provided with the Perfection V500 Photo includes the new Epson Scan 3.2 and Epson Creativity Suite. Epson Scan is designed to make scanning easy with its automatic mode and home mode. The needs of the advanced user are addressed with the professional mode. Epson Scan 3.2 offers high compression multi-page PDF scanning and allows ICC profiles to be embedded into the scanned files. Colour reproduction for negative scanning delivers superior image quality in critical or mixed lighting conditions. It also offers an advanced backlight correction to improve the overall visibility in the image. Digital ICE Technology ensures dust and scratches are completely removed from colour films, creating high-quality results. Additional software includes Adobe PhotoShop Elements 4 (PC) and 3 (Mac) and ABBYY FineReader Sprint 6 Plus. An optional Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is available for small offices that wish to use the Perfection V500 Photo for higher volumes of document scanning.

(Avoid the power supply, but it does work) 『I couldn't figure this out for the life of me, and I constantly read reviews about it. Finally I accidentally learned how to use it.
1) if you can avoid using the power supply that comes with it, do so. My drive could still be attached to the computer's original power source, and it worked just fine. I do not trust the power supply that comes with this item. It doesn't even stay plugged into itself and I worry about it overheating or blowing up. It feels very shoddy.
2) all you need to do is plug the cable into your powered and running drive and let it sit for like, half an hour. THEN when you plug the USB into your laptop or other computer, it will recognize your hard drive as if it were a external drive. All you need to do then is drag and drop!
I wouldn't plan on using this as a permanent solution.. just save the files you need and then buy a new drive!
Once I figured it out it worked fine. Don't know why it needs to sit for a half hour, but don't care either. It let me get to my data and that's what I needed!』
(just puts in it's 9-5) 『Purchased to pull info off of hard drives out of my old computers. It works well but some of the connectors are not very well made and I have an issue with the power cord plugging into the brick. It has to sit juuuusst right for it to work properly. The molex connector on the other end is just as bad. This product did the job it needed to, but now it is in the back of the junk drawer and I will probably but a different one the next time.』
(buy it) 『Our computer died. I pulled the hard drive out of it and used this thing to connect it to our new computer to get some files off of it. I was worried because this thing was cheaper than the other stuff for sale. not worried now this is a good product. hellah simple to use effectively and it comes in a nice box. Paid $3 for shipping from tiger direct and it was on my front porch 3 days later.』
(A great little rescue device) 『I agree with those who have said that this isn't a device you'd want to use on a regular basis -- it's a rescue device. But it's a _nice_ rescue device.
If a computer (especially a notebook computer) fails and you need to extract the information from the hard drive, you can use this device to temporarily mount the hard drive on another computer, without having to open the working computer's case or muck with its configuration.

I used it all the way from the Great Lakes to central Florida, through the West Virgina mountains, and it never budged. Well, except when I pulled it of the dash and slid both it and my GPS under the passengers seat. After using the windshield mount on my old Garmin on the windshield, I find this to be far superior. You just attach the windshield mount to the glass-like surface of this disk and gravity/friction do the rest. I'd buy it again. Especially over more expensive contraptions that may or mey not do a better job. 』
(Bracketron friction dash pad) 『Works great in my HHR but find that the adjustable windshield arm that came with my Magellan 3250 is all I really need. I do find that the friction pad does work better than the supplied arm in my wifes KIA Sedona with the long dash.』
(Great for switching cars) 『We use it in both of our vehicles at different times. It is easy to move and I can take it anywhere I go. Thje suction cup platform is very stable. This is a good product and when bought from Amazon as a package with my TomTom a great value. I would suggest this for anyone with two vehicles and 1 TomTom.』
(So and so.) 『There are some similar products, but I have nothing than this one for the purpose. Therefore the following comment is not comparison with other competitive product. My wide type GPS was hold on the dash board firmly without problem, but its bottom rubber left some sluges on the dash board and it was observed some rubers of the surface lost, which may result shorter life of the priduct.』
(Great idea, it's perfect!) 『I love this thing! It eliminates all those obvious rings on the windshield that tells the world I have a GPS onboard. And it really does stay put on the dash.

Only problem I had was the price. come on Logitech were already spending hundreds for the remotes, give us a discount/price break something?』
(The Only Way to Go For Your PS3) 『My only complaint with this unit is the price, but once you get over that it's the best option out there and once you've had a harmony remote it's almost impossible to go back to a regular remote. Not much of a review can be given here as it has a lot to with the remote you use, but it's safe to say if you have a harmony remote you won't be disappointed with this adapter. It powers the ps3, controls all of it's functions and works as advertised. I have a ps3 slim and it works fine with it, although I am told earlier revisions didn't.』
(Awesome device) 『There's not much to say. You plug it in, press a button and the Ps3 finds it. Works great with the Harmony One remote. No complaints!』
(Does the job) 『I've been using this for three days now, and no problems at all. The initial setup was quick and worked right away. I'm using this with a Harmony 900 remote, and it took most of my time setting up the remote, not the adapter.
Also, I've not experienced any of the reported problems of losing sync or other controllers losing sync. I did put the adapter 2 glass shelves below my PS3 to create a little bit of space (as some suggested doing).
Bottom line for me is I can now control the PS3 entirely with my Harmony remote, so it was well worth the cost.』
(Works great... setup is not obvious) 『The only issue I had getting this to work with my Harmony remote was that there was no device called "Logitech Harmony Adapter for PS3" listed in the software. After looking for it in various device categories for a very long time I tried it with the general "Playstation 3" device and it worked great. It even automatically handles those video prompts when you want to turn it off. It is a huge improvement over having to use a separate remote just for the PS3 player.
You can't tell from the picture, but the thing is tiny. It's about cell phone sized. Something that is kind of curious about this is that the power LED is extremely bright. It is much brighter than the LEDs on any other piece of AV equipment I have. It is bright enough to use as a night light. That could be a good or bad thing depending on where you have it and how you feel about night lights. Worse case, a tiny piece of electrical tape will hide the bright LED.』 『Your Harmony remote already controls the most important pieces of your home-entertainment environment with one notable exception - your PLAYSTATION 3.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Much better than not having one, but...) 『I decided to purchase the Canon wireless remote to use in conjunction with my Canon Rebel XSi because I have always had trouble taking self-portraits, and I did not want to have to run into place to get the shot I wanted. I also figured that with a wireless remote, it would be easier to hide the remote when taking the photo. Since I don't want the remote to show up, I usually put the switch on the 2-second delay, so I have time to put it away.
With the remote, it is definitely making it much easier for me to take self-portraits. The remote is easy to use, because all you really need to do is press a button. The one downside that I am finding is that my remote does not always take the photo when I press the button. I am not sure if this is a problem with the range or perhaps this is a problem with not holding the remote directly in line with the sensor.』
(simple and works) 『This item is a good add-on to my canon DSLR. It is compact, simple and works well. The only problem is this remote control seems not very sensitive. You have to point it straight to your camera accurately, or it won't work.』
(Works fine with Digital Rebel XTi / 400D) 『The remote control is easy to use and works with my Digital Rebel XTi (same as 400D sold in Europe). Just set camera to "Self-timer / Remote control" (second button from the top on the right side of the display). The shutter can than be remote controlled. Of course the auto focus works also when using the remote control!』
(Excellent product - nice surprise) 『I was a little apprehensive about this product as they didn't have it at high street shops (Wolf/Ritz). I was very pleasantly surprised as this does exactly what I needed without any extra nonsense. I wanted to take shots of my family including myself; my baby tends to screw up timed shots so I can needed a wireless remote and this does the job very nicely.』
