Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Single-Disc Edition)

  • LABEOUF/FOX/DUHAMEL

One of the most popular, thrill-packed, franchises of all time is back with even more action and more Autobots and Decepticons! In the highly anticipated Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to product humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That’s an exact classification of director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Think of Transformers 1 on crack. In other words, this sequel took all of the extreme elements that made fans love the first movie and increased them exponentially. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox’s hotness to the max. As if she weren’t enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there’s the humor. Sam’s parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White)provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious.

As far as the “plot” goes, the writers didn’t waste much time–it’s really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences. The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U.S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there–and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn’t want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance–which was arguably a good decision. –Jordan Thompson

How to Safely Wash Stuffed Animals

  By FreeAnime.info | December 31, 2010 - 11:23 pm | Anime Stories Leave a comment

How to Safely Wash Stuffed Animals

Stuffed animals are one of children’s most favorite toys. These fun animals are great to have around, and sometimes go everywhere with your youngster. Since these animals are around for almost every event, even they get dirty and will need an occasional bath.

So how do you keep stuffed animals clean? Well here are some tips to keep them clean and in great shape:

First and most importantly read the care instructions that come with the stuffed animal on their label. Also take note of all materials the stuffed animal is made with.

Retailers of stuffed animals never personally recommend washing stuffed animals in the washer or dryer. What is highly recommended is to spray on a mild all-purpose cleanser or simply use soap and sponge it clean with a little water. Then leave your stuffed animal in the sun to dry.

However, many parents really feel like they need to wash stuffed animals in a washing machine to make them completely clean. So here are more tips if you desire to do so:

First, make sure none of your stuffed animals have the following before putting it in the washing machine:

* If a stuffed animal has excelsior, styrene foam, or any other form of foam material, such as foam beads, they must not be washed in the machine.

* If a stuffed animal has joints, or cardboard or any other form of stiffeners, do not put into a machine or they can be destroyed.

* If a stuffed animal has a sound box, please do not put this into a machine or any other form of major water.

* If a stuffed animal is really large, very firm, or has a lot of stuffing please remove the stuffing by cutting a 5-6 inch area in the bottom of the animal. This is important because the stuffing will most likely shift and cause the animal to lose its shape. Plus washing this much stuffing will take a very, very long time to dry. After cleaning, sew up the area and make sure no stuffing will fall out.

After reading the above and your stuffed animal does not fit into the first three categories, you may wash your animal in a washing machine. Before putting a stuffed animal into a washing machine, please make sure there are no loose items, such as button noses or eyes. Please also check to make sure that there are no openings where stuffing can come out, if so please sew up these areas securely first.

Before putting the stuffed animal into a washing machine, find a big enough pillow (or a sheet for big stuffed animals) and fasten all ends with rubber bands, safety pins or string. Please make sure all ends are secure to protect the fur of the stuffed animal. Plus it will keep any loose stuffing inside the pillow or sheet in case any falls out and can be re-installed.

After placing the stuffed animal into the washing machine, please only set the most delicate cycle to be washed. Fabric softener can be added and will make a softer and fluffier stuffed animal. Please be careful when washing other items with the stuffed animal, that there are no items that may bleed onto the stuffed animal making it a different color in the end. Also, if your stuffed animal is wearing clothes, please remove them and wash separately. This is important because the color of the stuffed animal’s fur can sometimes bleed onto the clothes they are wearing.

Tips on How to Clean Stuffed Animals without Using a Washing Machine:

* A great way to keep those precious stuffed animals fresh is to give it a dry bath with baking soda. Just sprinkle the baking soda on the stuffed animal. After 20 minutes simply brush the baking soda off. You may also use baby powder. This process will get smells out and clean off any surface dirt.

* For stuffed animals that have been badly stained or soiled, use a soft scrub brush with an all purpose cleaner.

* For stuffed animals with plastic parts that have spots or stains, you can use rubbing alcohol to remove them.

* For stuffed animals that have dust mites you can do the following:

Place your stuffed animal in a plastic bag. Then place it in a freezer overnight. If you have a big stuffed animal or do not have room in the freezer, you can wait to place it outside on a very cold night. The temperature has to be below freezing. The next day, remove the stuffed animal and vacuum gently but thoroughly.

Tips on How to Dry a Stuffed Animal:

When you have washed your stuffed animal or somehow the stuffed animal has become very wet, please never use a clothes dryer. This can damage the fur of the animal and can sometimes never be repaired. Please don’t risk loosing your child’s favorite animal, instead do the following:

The safest way is to let the stuffed animal air dry. This could take up to several days. However, sometimes you need that stuffed animal dry as soon as possible. So you can use a hair dryer, but be careful to not get too close to the animal’s fur and dry on the coolest setting available.

When a small amount liquid has spilled on a stuffed animal simply shake off loose liquid. Then pat dry with a towel or sponge.

With the care provided above, your clean stuffed animals will provide you and your child many years of fun and happiness. Good luck!

Flash Data Recovery tool for Next Generation Data Recovery

  By FreeAnime.info | December 31, 2010 - 7:28 pm | Anime Videos Leave a comment

Flash Data Recovery tool for Next Generation Data Recovery

Along with the development of data storage and information technology, Flash drives are publicly recognized as the first chosen media to store the data among all storage media. It is undoubtedly that Flash drives have brought the storage era into another generation and data recovery tools used for flash data recovery is also on the urgent demanding.

 

The Flash Drive is one among the most popular storage devices today. It consists of NAND-type flash memory storage device, which is mostly used in memory cards and USB Flash drives. A flash drive has several benefits over other removable or portable data storage devices. They operate faster, have more condensed space, have more sturdy design, easy to carry, store huge amount of data and above all they are very much reliable as they do not contain any moving component. Data stored on flash drives are impervious to scratches and dust, and flash drives are mechanically very robust making them suitable for transporting data from place to place and keeping it readily at hand. Then it has been adopted popularly in people’s daily life.

Flash drives also store data densely compared to other movable media like DVD and floppy disks. Compared to hard drives, flash drives use little power, have no fragile moving parts. What’s more, some flash drives retain their memory even after being submerged in water, even through a machine wash. Due to these advantages, Flash devices are mostly used in personal data transporting, system administration, audio player, backup.etc.

 In spite of being more reliable than other data storage devices, which contain moving components, the flash drive may also fail at any point of time.

Like all flash memory devices, flash drives can sustain only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. This should be a consideration when using a flash drive to run application software or an operating system. Once the read/write access to the flash drives has been used up, then data loss occurs. In this situation, flash data recovery is urgently required to find the data back.

 Like other storage device, data loss happening on flash devices also can be divided into logical failure and physical failure.  In order to well perform flash data recovery, a professional data recovery tool will be very important to determine the final data you will find back.

For logical failure, there are too many software can be used and you can easily download from internet. However, for physical problem, you need apply a professional data recovery tool contains the in-depth algorithm and can analyze the data structure completely.

In present market, we can see there are some professional data recovery tools can be used for flash data recovery: PC3000-flash tool, soft-center, SalvationDATA Flash Doctor, etc. However, due to the different adoption of the memory chips and the storage arithmetic for the chips, most of these tools can not have a good support list for flash disks in present market.

While, among these tools, SalvationDATA Flash doctor data recovery tool is the outstanding one. Flash Doctor data recovery tools has been released by SalvationDATA-world famous data recovery tool and data recovery solution provider. With years of research and experience in data recovery tools, Flash Doctor data recovery tools is one of the unique accomplishment among all the data recovery tools. Flash Doctor is dedicated to recovering data from flash patient drives with logical malfunctions, bad blocks, controller malfunctions or electronic problems, what’s more important, Flash doctor provides solution to detected flash drives with bad parameters caused by flash firmware loss or corruption. Even more, Flash disks who is locked by the manufactures. This kind of data recovery is based on the file system (FAT,NTFS,etc) This is a breakthrough data recovery solution in the world for flash memory based storage devices.

Looking over the technical documents of SalvationDATA Flash Doctor, we can configure out some shinning points here:

1, The Universal algorithm makes it available for SalvationDATA Flash Doctor data recovery tool to support all flash manufacturers and controllers based on the files system of FAT and NT while the competition supports a limited controllers and manufacturers;

2, Flash Doctor data recovery tool has a unique way of diagnosing the patient flash drives according to the file system. By this method, Flash Doctor will aren’t several virtual algorithm models by which all the read data will be verified accordingly and finally rebuild. In this way, the operation related to firmware layer will never be involved. People will never worry about the type of controller or manufacturer while others diagnose by the controller;

3, Flash Doctor supports both the 8-bit and 16-bit data read at a higher successful rate; while other tools only can support 8 bits.

4,Flash Doctor supports a much wider range of adjustable voltages between 0.9V-5V which enables the doctor to cover the future development of flash drives with lower voltages;

5, Flash Doctor supports a comprehensive range of page capacity such as 528 bytes and its multiples or 2064 and its multiples, etc.

6, Flash Doctor applies a high quality material chip workstation which can be more stable and durable. Additional, a spare chip workstation is provided for replacing. However, the chip workstation in other tools is solid and cannot be replaced. With the increase of using time, the chipset will become unstable, and then the tools cannot work well anymore.

You are the decision-maker. It is you who can work out the choice and it is the tool which can promote your reputation and increase your business. How to judge is just to compare. Then you will know which one is the most effective solution for your flash data recovery.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s Vol. 2

  By FreeAnime.info | December 31, 2010 - 7:22 pm | Anime Images Leave a comment

Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s Vol. 2

  • Re-live your childhood with this collection of 12 cartoons featuring some of the following beloved characters: Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, Shazzan, Yogi s Gang, Banana Splits and many more! Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN Rating: NR Age: 883929060474 UPC: 883929060474 Manufacturer No: 1000091148

SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS:1970′S V2 – DVD MovieWhile the animation style of the episodes collected here somehow manages to be stiffer than in Hanna-Barbera’s previous decade of cartoons, the characters featured in Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s, Volume 2 have more depth and energy than some of their 1960s slapstick counterparts. In the 1970s more people continued to examine race, gender, and class questions, and Hanna-Barbera explored those issues through some of their cartoons. Disc 1 opens with “Help! It’s the Hair Bear Bunch,” starring some bears with a wide enough variety of hair that they could have inspired the musical. In “New Adventures of Gilligan” (with Gilligan’s new pet monkey Snubby a lame change from the live-action show), Gilligan and his pals gang up against the Howells when they try to build an elitist resort on the castaways’ island. “Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan” stars a Chinese family who sleuth almost as well as Scooby-Doo’s crew. “Sea Lab 2020″ is a science-oriented educational cartoon about an underwater commune. Disc 2 offers some flops, like “Valley of the Dinosaurs,” which paved the way for Jurassic Park (though Sid and Marty Krofft did much better with Land of the Lost). And “Grape Ape” features one of the most idiotic cartoon characters out there. But spliced between episodes of the still-classic “Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show,” the bad cartoons can be forgotten. Bugs Bunny and his sometimes-accomplice, sometimes-antagonist duck pal, Daffy, are a wonderfully clever pair. The real highlight in Hanna-Barbera’s 1970s dossier, though, is “Shazzan,” in which two kids, Chuck and Nancy, discover a magic ring that harnesses a genie. The kids navigate Persian fantasy worlds illustrated with as much mystical imagination as the animated scenes in The Thief of Baghdad. With such variety, and the dynamism Hanna-Barbera achieved with scripts that tapped into then-current social and political issues, a lighthearted “Yogi’s Gang” or “Tom and Jerry” episode mixed in here and there doesn’t feel too weak. –Trinie Dalton

Japanese Animation Programs to be a Success in the UK

Japanese Animation Programs to be a Success in the UK

Japanese animation and art has taken by storm several countries that didn’t have a different outlook as far as animation goes, the quality and freshness of Japanese animation has tapped into untapped audiences across global networks because of the fact that their work appeals to not only the young and teenagers but several of their programs actually cater to older audiences between 18 and 30 years of age.

Programs such as Bakugan appeal to a younger audience who love “special effects” powers and exciting plots which Is similar to the target audience of animations made in the US however the freshness of the drawings and the animation style make all the difference as the use of shadows and character body lines is completely different and original in the way they do so.

Older audiences tend to go for shows that are not so predictable and this is where Japanese animation really becomes huge, animations such as Monster, Spice and Wolf and yes even Clannad have grabbed the attention of those who once were fan of the famous Dragon Ball Z.

Internet forums confirm just how popular Japanese animation is amongst young and older viewers who not only enjoy the freshness of the drawings and animations but the stories which are told series after series are completely unique, for instance, Spice and Wolf is unlike anything you have seen and it caters to older audiences because it deals a lot with business concepts such as international trade, the monetary system and the way merchants try to influence their business environment through free trade.

I bet you were not expecting something like that from a title such as “Spice and Wolf” did you? – To add some uniqueness and variety the female character (wolf) is really smart and cunning and is able to take the series to a whole different level.

Series such as Clannad are high-school based so they appeal to those in high school and even those in college, the comedic situation the characters find themselves in is completely unique and the plot lead the way to an even greater story (the after story) in which a shocking truth about life is to be revealed to the characters of the series. This animation takes the characters and the viewers from a traditional high school setting all the way into adulthood and show them the happy and sad times of life in a very realistic story.

As you see Japanese animation is absolutely unique and is not entirely based in sci-fi fights and power blasts but it can be very deep and meaningful which is why such series are expected to be a total hit in the UK and most likely other parts of the World.

Question by Darren: How do I keep the Wallpaper on my phone to stay the same?
I have an EnV Touch. I bought a wallpaper online for it and have it set as the internal and external wallpaper. But everytime i turn off my phone the wallpaper turns back to a canoe (external) and an ice cube in water. (internal) Is this normal and is there a way to prevent it.

Best answer:

Answer by Nathan
With the phone on, take the battery out and leave it out for a minute before turning it back on.. I’ve seen this fix this issue on enV Touches before.. If that doesnt work, see if there is a software update available for your phone, or try moving the picture to a memory card if its on the phone memory, or move it to the phone memory if its on the memory card
