Panasonic VDR D300 - Choosing Digital Video Camcorders

By Donald K Aniston


Owning one of the many digital video camcorders offers a person the luxury of being high tech without even trying.

When a person is considering purchasing one of the many digital video camcorders, they must consider what format they would like their memories stored on for the future.

When people are considering a digital recorder over an analog type, the main advantage is that the digital camcorders allow for hooking up to a computer to store, transfer and even edit film. Compared to analog camcorders, the digital camcorder does not lose quality of picture or sound when transferring data. However, if a person is going from digital to VHS tape, then some quality loss should be expected, but it will be very minimal. Since the world of today is so computer focused, individuals should definitely consider purchasing a digital camcorder over the analog ones. The long term results will far outweigh the short term gain.

Digital video camcorders come in a variety of styles.

Depending on what a person is willing to spend and how much time they want to invest will determine what type of video recorder they purchase. The key is to understand what is available and how a person can use it to the best of their ability. Capturing memories on film has never been simpler than it is today thanks to the digital camcorders that litter the market place.

Individuals can choose to have digital recorders that record on tape, DVD, or to the hard drive that is located inside the camcorder. The digital camcorder that is most popular and most reasonably priced is the one that uses the Mini DV tape. These run for approximately three hundred dollars and are the easiest to operate for those who are not interested in editing or dealing with an array of functions. However, the other types are great to own and eventually, just as with Beta tapes, the world of camcorders will no longer operate using tapes.

These are great devices that can help a person store their memories because they are lightweight and fairly simple to use. Before a person purchases a video recorder of the digital type, they should understand all of their options and know how to go about choosing the best one to fit their needs.

By Steve Esquire


This product review is of the Human Touch shiatsu massage chair model HT-125. The Human Touch organizaton has one of the broadest range of massage chairs. The HT 125 is a low range model with an executive chair appearance. This massage chair review of the Human Touch HT-125 takes an unbiased look at this shiatsu massage chair. Human Touch is known for their HT technology which provides a realistic massage feeling. This massage chair recliner is in the $1,000 to $2,500 price range.

With more than 30 massage chair models at almost every price point. Human Touch has a wide range of offerings. You can find Human Touch massage chairs all across the country. Human Touch developed patents protecting their massage therapy technology. They are certainly an innovator, in a field of imitators in this industry. A patented item from Human Touch is the flipping ottoman. The flipping ottoman has a calf massager on one side and a flat cover on the other. Simply flip the ottoman when you do not want a massage and the chair looks like a regular.

What about the warranty coverage of the HT 125 massage chair? the HT 125 is covered for 3 years structure, 1 year parts, 90 days labor. In home service is available for an additional fee. Fees for in home service will cost you $225 for the first hour and $150 each additional hour. Better than having to pack and ship the massage chair. Human Touch is one of the biggest but warranty is a bit small. Human Touch does offer extended warranties.

How is the Human Touch HT-125 shiatsu massage chair? Let us start with the design and aesthetics. Human Touch makes an attractive massage chair and this chair looks more like an executive chair than a massage chair. The flipping ottoman helps get rid of the somewhat bulky calf massage. Human Touch does an excellent job with putting this chair on a large round base, which gives it a striking design. The Human Touch HT-125 is a comfortable massage chair and comes in a wide assortment of colors.

The Human Touch HT-125 massage chair has the following manual massages: partial roll, full roll, kneading, compression, percussion and kneading+percussion. Human Touch incorporates the latest version of robotic massage which is patterned after the same techniques used by professional massage therapists. There are 3 automatic programs in the HT-125. Overall, this massage chair recliner does a solid, thorough job on the back to loosen tight muscles and ease aches and pains.

The HT-125 massage chair by Human Touch also comes with a shoulder height adjustment. The shoulder height adjustment allows the user to select from 3 shoulder types: tall, medium, or short. Use the shoulder height adjustments of the HT-125 to position the rollers for maximum comfort. Put the HT-125 in manual mode and pinpoint a specific area of your body. Let the rollers work a given massage at one specific area to relieve soreness and tension. The leg rest of the HT-125 can be used to massage either your calves or feet. The leg rest also comes with a stretch function which will perform a gentle full body stretch. The gentle body stretch of the HT-125 is helpful to improve joint mobility. To get a foot massage, the user must raise the foot rest and bend their knees and put their feet on the calf massage.

Human Touch has done an outstanding job with the HT 125. This sleek, contemporary executive massage lounger is a compliment to any room in the house. The oblong base, thin chair back and flipping ottoman hide the fact that this is a well equiped massage chair. The HT 125 comes with an average warranty, so for additional protection, consider getting the extended warranty. The massage techniques utilize the HT massage technology which provides a nice, relaxing and soothing massage. The Human Touch HT 125 shiatsu massage chair recliner is a solid value and delivers thorough massage therapy.

Ease of Use: One thing is for sure, more features and options are being added into massage chairs, which is great.

Key Features: Out of the myriad of wonderful features, we will focus on two of them. The lower body traction and the reflexology foot massage are two outstanding features in this massage recliner. The lower body traction system can be activated at any time. It will seamless work with the automatic programs. This function stretches the lower body from the hips, thighs, knees, calves and ankles. The legrest lowers to 3 successive positions each time stretching you out just right. The reflexology foot massage incorporates Omega's footflex technology. This unique system uses airbags and reflexology nodes to gentle but firmly push up into the arch and then the heal of the feet. Other air bags provide a firm compression massage over the tops of the feet. This is absolutely wonderful after a long day on your feet. These features earn a 19 in this category.

Massage Therapy: This massage chair is the most comprehensive on the market. It has tremendous capability to deliver a full sensory experience. You have 5 automatic programs, 4 manual massage techniques, and 6 manual massage courses. There are 4 levels of speed adjustment and 4 roller width adjustments.

Slip on the headphones and let the music relax your mind. Get a great lower body stretch from your hips to your ankles. This is a very soothing, invigorating and the most comprehensive massage experience you can get from a massage chair. The Montage Premier earns 20 points for massage therapy.

The Montage Premier earns a 96/100 points on our rating scale. The Montage Premier is the most comprehensive massage therapy chair on the market today. You get comprehensive warranty coverage without having to buy an extended warranty. The chair comes with a wide array of massage treatments to target practically all areas of the body.

Review of the Sanyo SA-5000 Massage Chair Recliner

By Steve Esquire


This review covers the SA 5000 massage chair by Sanyo. We will evaluate the features, options and warranty of this mid range chair. There are many chairs on the market and many from small factories in China at very low prices. It is important to find good brands with strong warranties so you can have many years of peaceful and relaxing massage therapy. Let us take a look at this Sanyo massage chair.

We start with the unexciting topic of warranty coverage. The warranty coverage is to help balance out the risk of problems in the future. This is especially important on more expensive items to protect against defects. The better the warranty, the more peace of mind for the consumer. Sanyo covers the roller mechanism for 3 years, 1 year on the rest of the parts and 1 year on labor. Sanyo has finally introduced in-home technician service and is giving 1 year. Sanyo has a national call center to handle warranty items which gives them better control over service levels.

The mid range Sanyo SA 5000 has many of the same features as the higher end Sanyo. In addition to the remote control, Sanyo provides a wired sub remote. The sub remote allows operation of the chair back and foot rest. It also has the pulse and perspiration sensor to detect stress in the body. The SA-5000 comes with 4 automatic programs that can be started at the touch of one button. There are a variety of manual massages and also you can choose from preset manual courses. The manual courses target specific regions of the back or you can also pinpoint to hit one specific area.

One of the features rolled down from the higher end Sanyo is the perspiration and pulse sensor. This sensor is built into the wired sub remote. It detects areas of stress in the body. The sensor then feeds this information to the computer and the software will adjust the massage to target areas based on these readings. In order for this to function, the user must grip the sensor throughout the massage. Also, the sub remote allows you to change the position of the chair back and the leg rest. It also has a repeat function. The repeat function will command the chair to repeat the massage just given in the place it was given. This is convenient when it hits one of the key places and you need it to stay there a little longer.

There are 4 effective massage therapies built into the SA-5000. They are Stiffness, Recovery, Relax and Fine. Each has specific target areas and results. All of them deliver full body massage therapy. Stiffness is based on Shiatsu massage and is for the back and legs. Recovery helps to loosen stiff and tired muscles. Relax is for achieving total body relaxation and tranquility of the mind. Fine helps to increase blood and lymph flow. The SA 5000 also has 3 stretching functions for the lower body. You can activate a stretch function and it will seamlessly plug into the massage treatment already activated.

The SA 5000 has some innovative and unique manual massages. In particular the Grip massage. The grip massage is possible through the GK roller system unique to Sanyo. These rollers are designed to reach out from the chair. The grip massage is effective for the shoulder and neck areas. Additionally, the manual massages are Shiatsu, Kneading, Tapping, and Combination. Shiatsu uses a combination of the chopping and kneading actions. The kneading massage is a pinching action particularly effective in loosening tight back muscles and shoulders. Tapping is a rapidly delivered soft blows at a rate of up to 200 per minute. The Combination runs the kneading and tapping at the same time.

Are you looking for lower body relief? Sanyo provides an air compression system to provide a great squeeze, hold and release massage. This compression style massage is perfect for loosening up the tight muscles of the thighs, calves and feet. The airbags are designed with shiatsu style nodes to stimulate your acupressure points. These acupressure points help to induce whole body relaxation. If that is not enough, Sanyo has built in heating elements to warm the soles of your feet. This is a very comprehensive and thorough massage chair recliner.

We like the SA 5000 massage recliner from Sanyo. It has some great integrated technology like the pulse and perspiration sensor and the GK roller system. These are innovations you would expect from a large electronics company. We are less impressed with the look of the chair as it is a bit industrial in design. The warranty is fair and the 1 year in home service is an added benefit. You should really look at an extended warranty if it is offered for additional protection. If you are looking for a mid range massage chair, then this one should be on your short list.

Panasonic VDR D200

By Donald K Aniston


A camcorder is a video recorder with a built in voice recorder.

In 1980, the inventor by the name of Jerome Lemelson received the first patent on the now popular camcorder.

When a person thinks of camcorders, they most likely do not consider the internal components. Inside those small digital handycam recorders are many components, including a mini VCR. The handy cams are so tiny that one may have a hard time believing this, but in every type of camcorder, this crucial component exists. Also included inside is a CCD, which helps measure the light used to show the images, as well as lens and motors that deal with zoom, focus and aperture.

A camcorder is a wonderful item for a person to own.

With this invention, the world was given the opportunity to not only record the faces of people and the events of their lives, but to also capture the sounds of the events. As time goes on, a person's memory fades and the voices of loved ones become a distant sound never to be heard again. With one of the many high definition video recorders on the market today, a person can capture a voice in time that will last for generations to come.

This video recorder allows a person to capture important life events with just a click of a few buttons. A person can capture their wedding, the birth of a child or basically their entire lives for future generations. The media will not fade into nothing, like the still camera pictures of yesteryear. Recording special events has never been more technologically advanced!

These were previously used only for broadcast journalism, but when they were made for the general public, the world of sharing and recording memories was changed. People no longer had to rely on still cameras for their family memories. The world clamored for this new invention and they still are, with the high tech advances that are happening in the field of digital video recorders.

Water Heater Price: How Much Should You Pay?

By Ann Triune


What is a reasonable water heater price? This isn't so easy to answer. Different units and models have large differences in their prices. Should you just base your decision on the price alone? Are there other factors besides the price that you should consider? Here are some tips for you to follow to find the best deals.

Read Reviews

Your first step is not to compare models but to read about heaters. This does not mean you have to know everything about heaters. You just need some beginner's information that can give you some idea about heaters in general. Knowing some basic facts can help you understand reviews and product information better.

There are many different review sites. The ones you should check are the well-known independent review sites. Depending on the site you are on, you can get some information about various costs per model, installation costs and product reviews. These review sites are actually one stop sites where you can compare the prices and features. You can also benefit from various reviews from experts, amateurs and average consumers like you.

Consider Cost of Operation

There is more to a water heater price than the purchase cost. You may not know that a seemingly cheap heater may actually cost more in the long run. This is because it may cost a lot to operate it. You end up spending more than what you saved when you bought it. If you want to have long term savings on cost, then look for a unit with a high energy factor. This is found on the energy guide or label found on the unit. A high energy factor of around 0.8-2 would mean that the unit is efficient in using energy. This means less energy waste and cost for you.

Pick the Right Type

Most of us are familiar with heaters with tanks. These are usually the cheapest. The oldest models can cost only more or less $100. More expensive models such as the solar, tankless and heat pump types can cost from a couple of hundred dollars to above $1000. The cheaper ones however are often more costly to operate.

One factor that determines the cots of operation is the energy loss. Tanks have heaters that continue to heat the water. Even if no one turns on the tap, the water inside will remain warm. The water that stays unused for some time will eventually lead to a waste of energy. You end up paying for this energy waste. Those without tanks are an alternative option. These types only produce heated water when needed.

Conserve Energy

Not everyone has the money for an expensive energy saving heater. If you can't afford it yet, there are ways for you to cut the operational cost on your old tank heater. You could for instance, attach insulation on your pipes and tanks. With proper insulation you limit the amount of energy wasted. This is also a good way of helping conserve limited energy and resources.

The water heater price of a good unit may seem much. Investing in a costly heater however may eventually help you save on your energy bills.

The Ultimate Guide To Buying A Palm Tree Floor Lamp

By Ann Triune


Your living area or patio will look fabulous with a palm tree floor lamp. The palm tree floor lamp will give your living space a wonderful glow as well as some interest. This article will introduce to you the world of palm tree floor lamps!

First of all, palm tree floor lamps can be either custom-made or bought from a specialty shop. There are several designs available when it comes to palm tree floor lamps. There are lamps made of rattan, bronze and brass.

Pieces of rattan are attached to each other to mimic a real palm tree. Bronze moulds and cuttings may be used to give a palm tree floor lamp a distinctive style and a bit of elegance. There are also other lamps that have more than a single palm tree. Palm tree floor lamps may have their own pedestal or a box to support their weight. A palm tree floor lamp usually has a tall tube for the bark, leaf mock-ups, a pedestal and light coverings that mimic real coconuts.

There are lots of special features you may find in a palm tree floor lamp. You may find one with adjustable leaves. There are some that are simply molded into shape and others meticulously put together and carved.

There are many colors available for you to choose from. There are green, chocolate brown, ivory, yellow, red and orange palm tree floor lamps. Colors can also be combined together in one lamp. The post and coconuts may be brown and the fake leaves green.

The color and style of your palm tree floor lamp will depend on your home interiors and personal taste. To complete a tropical-inspired space, choose a lamp that looks natural such as one with green fake leaves and a post with earthy colors such as dark brown and beige. If you want the lamp to stand out a bit more but still match the space, choose a brass or bronze lamp, which adds a bit of sophistication. For something quirky that completely stands out, choose a brightly colored lamp.

Many palm tree floor lamps are designed for the outdoors. If you want to place a palm tree floor lamp outdoors, make sure it is weatherproof. Oftentimes those that are weatherproof have steel trunks. The height of palm tree floor lamps ranges from 8 to 20 inches. Taller ones are always great for the outdoors.

When it comes to the actual lighting, consider the light bulbs. Bulbs may be attached at the bottom of the palm tree floor lamp, which can light up the whole tree. They may also be attached somewhere at the top under the leaves, which is a typical feature in palm tree floor lamps.

Lighting may be colored or plain. Incandescent light bulbs are great if you want a nice, bright glow. An alternative is the LED bulb, which has a whiter glow and consumes less electricity.

Palm tree floor lamps are typically more costly than ordinary floor lamps. But this is mainly because they are very resilient and unique. Furthermore, you may find palm tree floor lamps at a discounted price over the Internet. So do some research before selecting your palm tree floor lamp. Costs may start from $100 to $200. You may have to wait around 2 weeks for construction and shipping depending on the retailer you chose.

Real Freedom with the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

By Peter J James


Game controllers used to be tied done by bulky cables that forced gamers to plug and unplug their controllers into their console. However, with advancements in the transmission of wireless data, Microsoft was able to fit a access for their Xbox 360 system. If you would like to be free from the clutter of wires, check out an Xbox 360 wireless controller.

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller: All the Features

The Xbox 360 wireless controller has many different features that gamers should find very appealing. Lets look into them in detail:

1. Up to four wireless controllers - Games can use up to four wireless controllers at any given time. They also have a range of thirty feet for access. This could very helpful for any games using the larger screens. This would allow you to sit back in comfort and play from a distance rather than having to be in cable distance.

2. Headset Port - For online gaming, the Xbox 360 wireless controller comes with a headset port, This allows you to hook your headset to the controller to transmit the data back to the bass unit.

This streamlines the Xbox Live service, and gamers will have much more freedom and be more effective while playing games.

The integrated Xbox 360 guide button allows gamers access online menus so that they can check other online players statistics and achievements, something that has become a major part of the Xbox 360 game advantage.

3. Improved battery life - The controller has had the expected battery life improved and recharging (or replacing) the batteries as easy as possible

4. New left and right shoulder buttons are designed for ease of use - An improvement over previous design.

5. Adjustable vibration settings - This allows gamers to preserve battery charge by using less power. Vibrations in controllers have been used for years now to enjoy games, but gamers can now preserve battery charge by lowering the settings.

Also the Xbox 360 wireless controller also has a built in warning light so that when battery power is getting low, they have plenty of time to recharge the batteries. (2 AA batteries)

My prediction for recharging is that they will go the same way as up the quality PC mouse cordless mouse, which will only require plugging into the base unit, and no batteries at all.

The Xbox 360 wireless controller is a huge upgrade over the pervious wired models. Long range and power control features set this controller above the rest, and other smaller enhancements like the headset port really make it a major advancement compared to the previous Xbox.

If you're still using a wired controller, you owe it to yourself to buy the new Xbox 360 wireless controller - it is the future here now.

The Benefits of a Best Vacuum Review

By Lilah Knowles


We all know that reviews are very helpful pieces of information that can help consumers make important product decisions. Just like any product, vacuum brands and models have helpful reviews too. The best vacuum review can save you a lot of time, money and frustration. You should remember though that not all reviews are the same. You should look for essential review elements that are found only in the best vacuum reviews.

Features

People primarily read reviews because they are interested in what a reviewer has to say about product features. The best vacuum review not only enumerates a unit's features but also provides clear descriptions of each. Some great reviews even have images of the different features. This will allow consumers to better compare the features of vacuum units. In this sense, a good review opens consumers to the chance of making their own feature comparisons and decisions based on those comparisons.

Functions

Of course, it is not enough for consumers to simply get an idea of what features a vacuum unit has. Consumers would also want the best vacuum review to contain how each feature functions and how each contributes to the overall value of the vacuum unit. It would help for example if a review had an explanation of how well a unit can work on bare and carpeted floors. A review should also be able to provide details about the use of different brushes, adjustable hose lengths and many different attachments. As much as possible, a review should also have something about a unit's portability and automatic functions.

Product Guarantee

Whether it's personal from the consumer or a standard guarantee from a vacuum manufacturer, a customer will always look for some kind of assurance that will tell him a particular model vacuum is the best in its class. A review should contain assurances from a person that has used the vacuum that it performs well; in the case of manufacturer guarantee, the best vacuum review should publish what a particular company promises its product can do. These guarantees can come in the form of testimonials from others who have purchased the product being described or warranties from the company selling the vacuums. By providing these details, it solidifies a consumer's decision to buy a vacuum product, or any product for that matter.

Rating

The best vacuum reviews have useful rating systems. A product rating based on a review, reviews or consumer votes is one good way to give consumers an overall quick picture of how good a product is based on consumer opinion. This will help assure a reader that the reviews he has read are at least approximately accurate and in line with the general opinion about a vacuum unit. Naturally, not all product decisions should be based solely on ratings. It would be a better idea to look closely at both ratings and reviews.

The best vacuum reviews should have these elements and more. Consumers should always make sure that a review contains some of these elements before basing a purchase on it. It would be a good idea too to read more than one review before deciding.

Product Review of Panasonic EP-30003 KU Shiatsu Massage Chair

By Steve Esquire


This is a massage chair review of the Panasonic EP 30003 shiatsu recliner. This is the new line of recliners called the Real Pro Ultra by Panasonic. This review will point out some of the important features, warranty coverage and specifications of this chair. The EP-30003 is a mid range model in the price range of $2,000 to $3,000.

Let us first take a look of the warranty of the EP-30003. The warranty coverage is your protection from defects from the factory. You want strong warranty coverage since it protects you from unknown problems in the future. This is a big ticket item, so it is important you get trouble-free enjoyment for the amount you are paying. Panasonic provides a 3 year warranty on the parts. You get 1 year on the labor with 1 year of shipping expense covered for parts if needed. Also, in home technician service is now available from Panasonic. You can get an extended warranty to match the major chair manufacturers but at additional cost. It is recommended that you get the extended warranty.

Technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace. The amount of features being added to massage chairs is nothing short of extraordinary. With the variety of features comes a challenge with keeping the chair easy and intuitive to use. The EP30003 has a very nicely designed remote control. It has buttons to activate automatic programs directly. It also comes with a voice guidance system. The voice guidance system will talk you through the controls that is great for beginners to use. You can also memorize programs. If you like a particular massage you can memorize the program so you can select it whenever you like without having to reset the controls.

There are two important features of the EP30003 that we would like to point out. Of course, there are many more, but we won't cover everything in this review. One of the more relavant features for Americans is the leg rest extension. The leg rest can be adjusted out to better position the areas on the legs. Also, this helps individuals that are taller to better fit in the massage recliner. The other innovative feature is a new massage technique. Panasonic has developed the Junetsu massage. Junetsu means ultra fine kneading in Japanese. This Junetsu technique uses small circular motions. These small circular motions are used in conjunction with firm pressure to penetrate through the muscles and to the surface of the bone. This is a great addition to the shiatsu and Swedish massages already offered in this chair.

The Real Pro Ultra has a sleek, post modern design. It is somewhat industrial in its design and lacks some designer touches. This is a bit of a drawback. The massage recliner is comfortable to sit in. It has soft padded armrest covers. The synthetic leather is surprisingly soft to the touch. There is a contoured head pillow to give support. The backpad has adequate padding to be soft to sit in. The rollers do not stick out too far when not in use, so the chair is comfortable to sit in when not being used for massage. This is overall a well designed chair.

There are one touch automatic programs in the Real Pro Ultra. These automatic programs include such programs as Shiatsu, Swedish, Deep, Stretch and Quick. The first four are 15 minute programs and the Quick is a 5 minute invigorating massage. Each of the automatic programs is targeted for specific benefits for the user. You are free to use the manual massage techniques. These manual massage techniques are Junetsu, Shiatsu, Swedish, Knead, Stretch, Tap and Full Roll. You can also select specific back courses to target your back. You can select the whole back, upper or lower back. This focuses the massage in that particular area. There is a built in air massage system which targets the feet and calves in the leg rest.

We like the new innovative massage technique, the Junetsu introduced by Panasonic. We also like the extendable leg rest to better accommodate the American market. The chair is well designed and ergonomic. We are not impressed with the overall look and style of the chair. Panasonic should be able to produce chairs that are impressively designed on the outside, not just the inside. The massage therapies are fairly comprehensive and effective. This is certainly a contender for your attention if you are looking for a good quality and solidly built massage chair in this price range.

Cheapest Portable MP3 Player: Can you actually find them today?

By Eric Ensneir


Everybody these days knows what an mp3 player is because they are all the craze. It's hard to find somebody that doesn't own one. They come in many different sizes and shapes and range from players with memory only to player with hard drives. Some are far more portable than others. They also come in many prices ranges depending upon what you are looking for. I will go over exactly what to look for when you are trying to purchase the cheapest portable mp3 player.

Should you pick a cheap portable mp3 player with memory built in or a hard drive? Well that really depends on you. Most memory based mp3 players only have a limited amount around 1GB or less. Which in terms of the amount of songs you can fit on it will range from 200 to 250. If that amount of songs is good with you then I would recommend that you go for it because you will find the cheapest portable mp3 players in this model range. But what if you have more songs than that?

Well you can always go for the hard drive option. Most hard drive players have at least 2 GB worth of space which equates to around 500 songs and that is just where they start. They go way up from their.

Which are more portable? Well that also depends on you. If you want something that will clip on your clothing while you are running then I would go with a memory based mp3 player. Because these players don't have moving parts they can make them much much smaller then you run of the mill hard drive based player.

Now if you want to be able to put you mp3 player in your pocket then the hard rive based mp3 players are perfect. Most of these are very compact now and will easily fit in your pocket. Some of them include the IPOD and Zune. Both of these players are great because you can find old models that are some of the cheapest portable mp3 players on the market. And it just because it is last years model.

Another thing to keep in mind when looking for a portable mp3 player is the weight. If you are primarily looking for a memory based player then this will not be a factor at all. Most of the memory based players are less then half a pound. Some just weigh a few ounces. When looking at a hard drive based player their are quite a few of these that can weight over a couple of pounds. Just keep that in mind when searching for one that you check the weight because if you are trying to run and you have a player that weights a few pounds in you pocket you could end up running out of you pants literally.

Next you should look at the size of the player. Almost all memory based player are made to be compact in size and are light in weight. You can fit them almost anywhere on you clothing without losing you pants. If you have the room though hard drive players could be an excellent choice for you. Make sure you check the size of the player before purchasing so you know exactly how big it is.

In closing to find the cheapest portable mp3 player available is up to you because of all the different options that are available today. If you want a small very cheap mp3 player I would go with a memory based player such as the iPod nano. If you are looking for a hard drive based player then the IPOD touch or Microsoft Zune are very good options and have tons of space for that music collection of yours.

Tips for Picking Your Hunter Ceiling Fans

By Tommy Saze


So you want to find the best Hunter ceiling fans. This may not always be an easy task. There are so many different Hunter fan models to consider. Aside from the fan options themselves, there are also a variety of different considerations ranging from your room type to your other furniture. Here are some tips for choosing Hunter fans.

- As with any other kind of fan, Hunter fans should fit your room size. Large rooms like dining areas and living rooms need fans that have blade sizes that are 50" to 60". You can also simply install more than one ceiling fan in a large room. Medium sized rooms like master's bedrooms and kitchens can have blade sizes of 40" to 50". Small rooms like laundry rooms can have blades below 40".

- You can have a very wide room with low ceiling height. You should at least make sure that you have a ceiling height that will allow seven feet between the blades and the floor. On the other hand, if have a very high ceiling, you should pick a fan that has a down rod.

- The purpose of your ceiling fan will understandably affect your choice. Some fans are really chosen more for decorative purposes than anything else. Of course, many people also choose ceiling fans for functional reasons. If you want a purely decorative fan, you could go for one that has a small motor and an intricate design. Fan models also differ according to whether they are intended for indoor or outdoor use.

- Of course, you can never put your taste as a second priority. Obviously, your choice of Hunter ceiling fans should also match your style preferences. You can pick blades in various colors and finishes. Your blade finish however, should ideally match the color or furniture theme of your room. If you like some flexibility, you can always pick a Hunter fan with reversible blades. One side can have a slightly different color or shade so you can switch blades as you change room decorations.

- Like other fans, Hunter models can also have other accessories. You may for example, pick a fan that can be controlled by remote.

- Ceiling fans are perfect fixtures to attach lights too. There are Hunter fans that come with lights or can be fitted with lights. The light fixture design should be one that matches your room theme. Aside from the bulb design, you also need to choose between subdued uplights and direct downlights. Your light kit choice will depend on your intended use for the fan lights.

You can't just pick your Hunter ceiling fans randomly. In order for you to get the right fans for every room, you have to give it careful thought and consideration. Start by thinking of the basic points given above.

What You Should Know About a Hot Wire Anemometer

By Ryan Hale


Who would have thought that you could use a hot wire anemometer? You may not be a weather expert but there are many reasons why an anemometer might be a good device to keep around. Here's what you need to know about anemometer types with hot wires.

Hot Wire Types

You probably already learned in elementary school what anemometer is for. It is a useful device when it comes to weather monitoring. In general, all anemometers measure the speed of the wind. You can get information related to either velocity of pressure. There are of course, some units that can give you information on both aspects. Others have the added feature of providing temperature details.

Anemometers aren't all the same. Among the many different kinds is the hot wire type of anemometer. It's pretty obvious from its name that it is a type that carries a hot wire. It is this wire that cools down when the wind hits it. The corresponding difference in electrical resistance is what you need to note to find wind velocity.

The downside to this anemometer is that it can easily be damaged if you aren't particular about its care. It is however an extremely sensitive device and can give prompt, accurate and detailed wind velocity information when you need it the most.

Davis Units

A hot wire unit can be a good piece to keep around. You do have a couple of other options though. If you want other anemometer choices you can head to the Davis website. This is where you will find the right Davis wind anemometer for your specific needs. Davis is a reputable name in the weather monitoring industry so you can never go wrong with this option.

- If you are a first timer or amateur at weather monitoring, you can try the standard device from Davis. The long cable of this unit can be attached in high positions which are what you need for measuring wind velocity. With this device, you can get information on both direction and speed.

- If you are looking for something handy, then the hand held Davis anemometer is just the device for you. It has a precision meter that can give you the speed of the wind in three measurement scales. Its sturdy black plastic case ensures the safety of internal components. You also will not require batteries for this unit.

- There's something even better than a hand held unit from Davis. That's the ultrasonic anemometer. It has more than just a fancy name to boast about. You can bring this handy device where you want to go so you can monitor wind speed, temperature and chill.

Whether it's for ventilation system maintenance, weather monitoring or temperature monitoring for outdoor activities, a good anemometer is the best device to rely on. You can get a hot wire anemometer or choose among the different selections from Davis.

Buying Used PS2 Games

By Gary Pearson


My son is something of a video game whiz and goes through titles very quickly. Even though I don't let him sit in front of the television for too long or play with his PlayStation2 until all his homework and chores are done, he still manages to solve a game in a couple of weeks or less. It gets pretty expensive trying to keep up with my son's skills, so I've been trying to buy used PS2 games whenever possible.

Trying to find used video games in the past was hard. If you wanted a new or popular title you may have had to wait a year or more before finding it secondhand. You could get the games new, but if your gamer burns through games in a few weeks or less who wants to pay $80 or more? And the places that sold used games were rarely in stock of anything good. Even the video rental places didn't have the games anyone wanted because everyone rented them first.

But these days, used PS2 games are everywhere. There are no less than four stores in my area that specialize in reselling used PS2 games in mint condition. This means I always have a great chance of finding the titles that my son wants the most, and is usually my first stop when his birthday or Christmas comes around. Even if I can't find the used PS2 games that I'm looking for at these shops, there's no reason to despair. That's because there are also plenty of websites and online auction sites that have a large inventory of used PS2 games on hand.

I've found that on a few occasions the online stores and auctions selling used PS2 games are actually cheaper than in the local stores. Also there is so just much selection that they almost certainly have the games that you are looking for. And I definitely would keep an eye out for online sales. When these big online stores decide to clear their inventory you can save huge.

Buying used PS2 games is a fantastic cost-effective alternative to spending $50 or more on the most popular titles of the season. So if you're looking for a great way to save money on your video game habit, consider buying used PS2 games instead of new.

The Pocket PC Smartphone Wars with iPhone

By Michael Erikson


Are you sick and tired of lugging around an appointment book, a cell phone and a laptop just to stay connected with work and friends? Are you tired of forgetting important appointments and not being able to communicate on the fly? Then perhaps there is an answer to your communication and scheduling dilemma. You may need to look into purchasing a pocket PC Smartphone to help you manage your busy schedule.

The PalmOs and the Blackberry are perhaps two of the most commonly used Smartphones in the business, but thanks to some prodding by Apple's iPhone, the other companies are jumping in to produce a pocket PC Smartphone.

So why use a Smartphone or a palm pocket pc? Well for starters, they are incredibly versatile. Most phones prior to 2008 were running on Windows Mobile 5, but with the debut of Windows Mobile 6, more applications have opened up for use and there is more processor speed behind these small cell phones. The iPAQ Pocket PC is a prime example of faster running speed, but lacks the communication power of the iPhone. The iPhone has definitely set the standard for cell phones!

What can you expect from a Smartphone? You can expect PC software such as Outlook, Word and even Excel as applications.

The iPhone is a great phone to own, but it does have its drawbacks, namely a hefty $399 price tag. With a new pocket PC Smartphone, you may be able to get a substantial discount by opening up a new contract with a cellular provider. The best thing you can do is to shop around to find the best deals that have the capabilities that you need and want, all wrapped up into one very useful package.

This means that you can open and edit documents while on the go. That is a huge plus factor over earlier models of phones and PDAs. Most new Smartphones, like the iPhone, have added music players, text messaging, cameras and even voice recorders, as a way to entice new customers into making the jump from Apple to other manufacturers, such as Nokia and Motorola.

You do not have the time and patience to lug around a laptop to keep track of your important appointments, not to mention it can be difficult to find the space you need to set it up. You need something that can keep track of your appointments, let you work on important documents and be able to send emails, all the while allowing you to make and receive calls. What you need is a pocket PC Smartphone.

Why Should you get an Unlocked Cell Phone?

By Steven Wade


Unlocked Cell Phones, for Those not sure of the furture

Having come to the end of you pay monthly contract you will be left with a mobile phone that you can only use on that network. This is when getting an unlocked cell phone will pay off. Unlocked refers to the SIM card; an unlocked cell phone doesn't have a fixed service plan or a fixed network it can be operated from. This means that one is just purchasing the phone not a service plan or signing up with a cellular service provider. This is a nice option for people who don't want to purchase a phone/service plan combination or that want a certain phone that they are unable to purchase from a retailer for their cellular service company.

Why Aren't Cell Phones Unlocked in the First Place?

To guarantee a customer stays with a particular service provider all cellular service providing companies electronically lock their cell phones, to ensure they may only be used with their network. This is done with the SIM card which stores all the phones customized information, when it connects to the provider's network, the SIM card is sent an electronic signal which prevents another provider's network from accessing the card; this is where roaming charges come from, one company charging another to use it's service towers. But depending on how much you pay for your Cell Phone a month, you may already have a cell phone that is unlocked.

How Can One Unlock a Cell Phone?

There are ways to unlock a cellular phone by entering a particular code which will remove the electronic lock placed on it. There are companies which sell this information on the internet; these companies will research the phone figure out its SIM card's code and send it to the end user to unlock their phone to use with another service provider. This could be very helpful to a person who travels frequently for work or pleasure, as it may reduce roaming charges; unlocked cell phones may connect to any network. You can get software that will unlock it for you.

Sometimes Unlocking a Cell Phone isn't all it's cracked up to be

Unlocking a cellular phone doesn't guarantee that the phone will work with all networks, the only way to guarantee an unlocked cell phone will work is to purchase it new from a third party dealer. Alternately if one were to choose to unlock an existing cell phone their first choice should be to ask their provider to unlock it. The reason for this is simple, because there is no "hacking" into the phones memory or dealing with a third party vendor that little is known about, going directly to the company is probably a safer route. But some companies will provide this service for you online.

An Unlocked Cell Phone May Not Be for Everyone

The largest downfall and deterrent from purchasing an unlocked cell phone from a third party vendor is the price tag; the cost for an unlocked cell phone is nearly the manufacturers suggested retail price. For this reason many people choose to purchase a cell phone/service plan combination package which will give the person the phone free or nearly free, when they sign a user agreement.

We hope this has helped you make your decision. In our opinion if you do buy a mobile phone that is locked you can find software to unlock it very easily.
