My Take on the DVD

I used to watch this show when I was a kid in the mid-1980's. and it was fun then and it was great to see that I as well as a whole new generation can watch and enjoy this series now as well. While this is only Season one I am sure that not too far into the future that will be coming out with the rest of the seasons as well. I will be nice when the whole series is out and you can finish the whole set! 

The series is fun with good writing and plot. While the artistry is different than what you would get today, it is still good never-the-less and it reminds me a lot of some of the other great 80's cartoons such as Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man and others!

If you are a Conan fan and you have never seen this series, you are missing out! Come and check it out today!

Poised to attract an audience of kids, young adults and parents who grew up with this animated series, this 12-DVD box set contains all 65 action-packed episodes – known to fans as the original series aired in 1985, as well as insightful bonus features.  A must-have for collectors to complete their pop culture video library, M.A.S.K.:The Complete Original Series is available for pre-order now from Amazon.com and major retailers.

  • Unmasking M.A.S.K.: retrospective interview with show writers on this hit animated series
  • Saturday Morning Krusaders: entertaining look back with loyal fans



My Take on the DVD
Watching this show brings me back as I used to be so excited to watch this and I remember even having some of the old M.A.S.K. action figures and cars that I would play with when I was young. I had actually forgot about the sho until I was asked to check out the complete series DVD set. In watching this show there were parts that really brought back some great old memories. I also look at these now and see that they held a great mix of plot and characters. 

I was happy to see that shout! factory is bringing back old shows like this as I am really looking forward to sharing these with my daughters so that they can get to know me and what I liked when I was a boy!

Product Review - Everblade

About the Product
It's almost hard to imagine a world where our daily items actually last.  Practically everything is disposable.  Everything from our paper coffee cups to shopping bags, and even items like our computers and furniture.  They are built to be the most economical, but are they?  Sure they seem relatively inexpensive at first, but it’s hardly inexpensive when you are buying the item every day, week, month or year.  It adds up and for the large part it goes unnoticed. 

We, like most of you, couldn’t help but notice the staggering waste of material and enormous cost that came along with using razor blades.  We asked ourselves, is there any way to consistently keep razor blades sharp without creating a whole new set of problems; like the maintenance and time of a sharpener or the cost of batteries to keep a sharpener running, not to mention all the additional costs and packaging associated with the upkeep.

EverBlade solves the problem, it is completely self sufficient, requires no batteries, electricity or maintenance.  Imagine a single blade lasting you 4 or 6 or even 12 months simply by placing it on the EverBlade stand instead of on your counter or in your medicine cabinet - it's that simple.

As we were working hard to solve the problem of a dull razor our research lead us to a collection of unique shaving products that have just hit the market.  They are made of concentrate, meaning there is no filler or air, you are buying 100% product that will last you much longer than any of the traditional shaving products.  This will save you money over time, you’ll have an amazing shaving experience and will certainly create less waste for all of us.  In addition, the EverBlade shaving products do not contain chemicals or alcohol and are made with a natural preservative system. 

Our goal is to provide you with a product, the EverBlade, that will one day be handed down to your grandchildren, working just as well as the day you bought it, instead of being tossed into a landfill for them to clean up.  And to offer genuine shaving techniques that will be pasted on generation after generation, that include a shaving experience free of chemicals and alcohol that irritate, dry and prematurely age your skin.

They are so confident in the benefits of the EverBlade products that they offer you a 30 day money back guarantee on all purchases.


My Take on the Product
WOW, talk about making a razor everlasting! I've had the same razor since I starting using the everblade & just decided to throw it away for sanitary reasons last night. I've noticed ANOTHER benefit of everblade being it helps repel the hair that would normally get stuck inbetween the blades, which I've had problems with in the past. I think this is a great product & would recommend it to anyone!

My husband used this product and we were actually in shock! He has really thick hair and his blades normally only last him about two shaves and then he has to use a new one. He uses the Gillette ProGlide razor and the refill blades are about $16 for a pack. They are so expensive that he tries to make them last for as long as he possibly can, but even with doing that, he still only gets a few shaves out of them. Since he started using the EverBlade, he has been on the same razor and has shaved so far six times!!! That is just insane!! We are thoroughly impressed and are looking forward to how long he can make this blade last. For this one blade to last six times, that is already unheard of for him, so this is a winner to us. We definitely recommend this product and would love to give an update in the near future on how many more shaves he gets out of this blade!! The price to me is great! I think it is very much worth it for the length of time that the blades last, it does pay for itself very quickly!

Product Review - Rain Bird

About the Product
Most of us know dad loves to see his lawn in great shape – and loves the credit too.  We also know it can be tough for dad to keep on top of lawn maintenance without the right tools (“technology”).  Funny thing is we spend tons of money and time using new technology indoors to make our lives easier and cost less.  However, when it comes to using great technology to save time and money outdoors, there seems to be a huge disconnect.

That is where the new Rain Bird SST Weather-Based Irrigation Controller comes to the rescue.  Designed to be installed and used by everyday consumers, the new SST Smart Controller ensures that landscapes receive the precise amount of water needed to thrive, reducing the amount of water wasted to overconsumption and varying weather and temperature patterns. The SST achieves maximum water-efficiency by setting pinpointed, zone-by-zone watering schedules tailored to the landscape’s watering needs, and adjusting based on changing weather conditions.

This self-adjusting, weather sensing technology is housed in a powerful and rugged controller that works with a sophisticated weather sensor to create daily adjustments in watering schedules so that landscapes receive the right amount of water every time.

Simply put, it’s like having a weather man in your backyard...all the time.

So, just like your Smart refrigerator knows when your food is spoiled (yes, they exist), the next generation of irrigation gadgets knows when your landscape is about to go bad.

And, when combined with smart watering habits, the SST can result in water savings of up to 70%, not to mention reduce the strain on an already stretched water supply..and Dad’s back.



 
The SST Smart Controller with weather sensor is designed to incorporate into any automatic irrigation system. The indoor/outdoor smart controllers have a suggested retail price of $139.99 for a 6-valve model and $159.99 for a 12-valve model. The controllers are available through the Rain Bird online store, as well as in select Home Depot and Lowe’s stores. More information on the SST Smart Controller is available by visiting, http://www.RainBird.com/homeowner/products/timers/SSTsmart.htm




My Take on the Product
I had a 4 zone version for our system in the past and it worked fine, but that I did not really see much water saving in the past. When I heard about this system I was excited to try it out because I noticed that this system was set up for water savings partially. In looking at the system when I did receive it I was impressed with how the system looked and in looking at the instructions prior to installation how easy it seemed that it would be easy to install as well.

After reading this I moved to install the system and I was amazed to find how easy this system actually was to install. In less than an hour I had a new system up and running. Once connected and in working with the new system I really liked the interface as it was very intuitive and was very easy to follow. I noticed that when the system was working, it seemed to make my whole sprinkler system work more effectively. I also noticed better water pressure overall with the new system.

Overall, after about a week, I have noticed a marked difference in this system and I am very impressed. I would recommend highly. I have even considered adding to my system overall. Especially because I have seen how effective this system works now, I now can see that having more would only impact and increase the beauty of my landscape.

If you are looking for a system that really works well, this is the system for you! Check it out today!

Hammerhead iPad 2 Hard Shell Case

About the Product
Many things are uncertain on vacation -- your flight schedule, the weather, if the water is safe to drink. So, for this summer's vacation, make sure to pack one thing you can rely on: a Hammerhead iPad 2 Hard Shell Case (MSRP, $39.99 USD).

The Hammerhead iPad 2 Hard Shell Case will keep your iPad 2 safe from harm, no matter where your travels take you. Now you can be worry free as you use your iPad 2 to bring along your favorite reading to the beach, to look up recipes at the BBQ and search for restaurants near your hotel. The Hammerhead Hard Shell Case's unique polymer cover protects both the front and back of your iPad 2 -- giving you the all-around protection your device needs when you're on the go.

Weighing only 8.3 oz., the Hammerhead iPad 2 Hard Shell Case is lightweight and thin. With a water-resistant cover, you can enjoy some extra protection poolside. Installation is simple -- simply insert the iPad and close with a "click" and you're ready to go. You'll save battery life as well: the case's cover automatically wakes & sleeps the iPad 2 display.

"The iPad 2 is a perfect vacation companion, but most cases fail to give you the protection your device needs," said Don Mayer, CEO of Hammerhead. "With the Hammerhead iPad 2 Case, you can rest assured that your iPad 2 can handle the rigors of travel -- letting you focus on the important parts of your vacation -- relaxing and having fun."

Available in 10 stylish colors, this durable case also allows the iPad 2 to sit in four convenient positions. The Hammerhead iPad 2 Hard Shell Case is currently available on Amazon.com, through the Hammerhead website and in Small Dog Electronics' stores and other retail outlets nationwide. Colors include red, black, white, navy, gray, orange, blue, tan, pink and green.

My Take on The Product
The IPad 2 can be a bit delicate and for the money you pay when you buy one you want to make sure that it is safe, as you do not want hundreds of dollars down the tube. The cover that Apple provides is fine for light use and as long as you are careful your IPad will be fine, but if you get into any hard use issues or if you are traveling with your IPad, I highly recommend looking for a hard shell case
What is great about these cases is that the design of them makes it easy to simply slide in your IPad and lock it into place. At the same time the fold on the case provides you with a nice incline to be able to type a message or play a game. You can also use it the opposite way and it can become a movie screen as well for the latest movies you download to watch on the fly! 
This case covers the entire I{ad without blocking anything that you would need to get to, so there is no reason that you would have to continue to get the IPad out of the case to adjust things like volume or even to use the camera which was a nice add-on if I do say so myself!

I was able to check out the basic black case and it is sleek and stylish, but if black is not your color you can easily find another amongst the nine that they have! The one thing I notice with the black though is that it does tend to show fingerprints. I do not know whether this is the case on the other colors, but black does show this (Just something to keep in mind).

Overall, I really liked this new case, it was very light, relatively inexpensive and provides with the peace of mind that your IPad is safer than in some of the lighter weight cases that you can find on the market. I highly recommend this to all!

Crayola MP3 - Fun Electronics for Your Kids

Take your tunes with you on this silver Crayola 2GB MP3 player! It can store up to 96 hours of music (approximately 1,800 songs) and features USB mass storage to copy and store data files from a computer. The LCD screen lets you scroll between songs, read lyrics, or set up the menu. This MP3 player even lets you record your voice. It supports MP3, WMA, and WAV formats. Includes earphones, necklace loop, USB cable, instruction manual, and Music Express software. Music Express converts your CDs to mp3 format and lets you find and organize your music, burn CDs, and more. Dimensions: 3"L x 2.25"W x 0.75"D.


If you’re taking a plane or car ride ANYWHERE this summer, kids should have their own set of tunes to enjoy.  Crayola has come up with a MP3 to make it fun for kids to come up with their own play list as well as encouraging them to have their own sense of ownership for kids also!


The product is being released by Sakar International (http://sakar.com/) and along with a wide array of other kids devices and other electronic devices for all ages, this company is going out of its way to stay on top of electronic trends in the market. 


In trying out this out I was impressed to find how easy it was to set up and use. With easy uploading capabilities and a 2GB storage capacity this MP3 will last a child quite a while and at the same time will allow the child's interests in music to change as they change also. The buttons on this are intuitive and even my 6 year old was able to catch on quick and use this with no problem.  


Overall, for the price, durability and ease of use, this MP3 is a must have for kids that are begging you for their own MP3 or for that special gift that you have been wanting to provide your child also!

DVD Review - RIO

About the DVD
As summer heats up, spread your wings and celebrate with the funniest birds in town! The all-new comedy-adventure RIO comes to Blu-ray and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. RIO brings together vivid characters and colorful backdrops amidst energizing Latin and contemporary tunes, creating the ultimate family-friendly music and dance experience for audiences of all ages. In addition to more than one hour of special bonus features and materials, consumers will have access to all-new exclusive levels of the smash video game hit Angry Birds Rio® that showcase your favorite characters from the film!

Captured as a young bird from the wild, Blu (Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network) is a domesticated Spix Macaw living thousands of miles away from his homeland, Brazil. When his human owner Linda (Leslie Mann, 17 Again) discovers that he is the last male of his kind, they head south to Rio de Janeiro to meet the only other female. But it's far from love at first sight between the socially-awkward, flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel (Anne Hathaway, The Princess Diaries). Shortly after Blu's arrival, the two rare birds are captured by greedy animal smugglers and find themselves lost in the Brazilian rainforest. Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on a hilarious and clumsy adventure where they learn about friendship, love, courage and spreading one's wings to fly.

The creators of ICE AGE bring audiences a whole new tropical adventure in RIO featuring the most colorful cast of characters south of the Equator, including George Lopez (Beverly Hills Chihuahua), Tracy Morgan ("30 Rock"), Jemaine Clement (Despicable Me), Rodrigo Santoro (Che), will.i.am (Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa), Jamie Foxx (Dreamgirls), Jane Lynch "Glee"), & Wanda Sykes (Over The Hedge).

RIO will be available in a 3-Disc Party Edition, featuring the Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital Copy, as well as in a 2-Disc DVD Party Edition. It is available in the U.S. and Canada.

My Take on the DVD
 My family and I missed seeing this in the movie theatre so we have been awaiting this movie with great anticipation. When I was asked to review this extended 2 disc version of the DVD, I can honestly say that I was very excited! In watching the movie I was amazed at how beautifully done all of the artwork was in this movie and there were many funny parts within the movie as well. The characters within the movie work so well together and there is much humor in the bantering between the characters themselves. It was interesting to see this though as I think that some of the humor in this and in other cartoons today are written in part for adults (which I enjoy though).

My kids loved the bonus features in this movie, they were dancing up a storm though much of the dance sequences and they loved exploring the world of RIO (they said that this part was cool).

All-in-all though I would highly recommend this movie to all. It was a great family film with a good message and you have fun throughout and even learn a bit about a new culture along the way!

My Take on the Product 
I have oily skin and have tried a number of things over the years to combat this with mixed results. When I heard about the Clarisonic Plus I was intrigued and interested to see how it worked and how well it worked. In using this I have to say that I was impressed. I have used this for about 10 days and in using this I can say that my face is feeling very clean. I have noticed that the product does a great job at deep cleaning and it has really made a few rougher areas of my skin to become much smoother.


Though most guys would be afraid to try this, I would say that if you have issues with your skin and you have tried other type of products to manage this without any type of  results, this product may be the product that you are looking for.


I would have to say that overall the product has exceeded my expectations and I know that it will for you as well..

Planters Trail Mix Promotes Great Outdoors Month

About the Nuts
In honor of the Presidential call to get outdoors, I thought it would be interesting to round up the best snacks to bring along on your outdoor adventure!

My Take on the Products
I was quite impressed with this snack mix. Full of great energy boosting items, this mix provides the perfect pick-me-up whether you are out on the trail, or sitting in your office. I particularly enjoyed the dried fruit that was in the mix, as I am always interested in being health with fruits. In saying this though the nuts were great as usual!

So if you are looking for some great snack mixes that are healthy and filling, look no further than these mixes. Overall, these mixes take snack mix to the next level. With a combination of health and flavor, how could you go wrong?
