(Thank you Wounded Bird Records for this new wave gem on CD--may we have another?) 『This virtually ignored new wave band had two albums in the 80s, and it's great to at last have the first album on CD in all its synthpop glory, with a couple of bonus tracks! Having not only the album, but also the 12" mixes of No Stars and its b-side mastered to digital is a treat. Collectors can only hope that the follow up, self-titled CD will be reissued with the 12" mixes of Accidentally 4th Street and You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet as bonus tracks! Okay, we also need the band's first few 12" singles from the early 80s--In Camera Obscura, Breathless, and Swimming--on CD as well! Figures on a Beach should have been a much bigger player in the new wave game, alongside the likes of A-ha, New Order, Pseudo Echo, OMD, and others in this style, but their only real notice was for the phenomenal dance mix of the single "Accidentally 4th Street".』 『Figures On A Beach were part of that late 1980s rock scene. They had a few albums on Sire Records. This, their first album, is making its worldwide CD debut. It includes four bonus tracks from an EP released around the same time as this album, 1987.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A truely special album: Tribal/urban/punk/sonic joy) 『There ain't no group like SAVAGE REPUBLIC. And, nobody has the wonderful packaging they do from Bruce Licher's Independent Project Records label. Beautiful, complex cardboard packaging with print right on the cardboard which is often folded and/or cut very elegantly. The presentation is half the pleasure with this band, and, really, any release on IPR. However, the music of SR is spectacular, although, not consistent over every one of their releases.
This is their first album and, to my ears, their finest. There's a couple of great live albums and the second one ain't bad either but this album is definitely them at their musical peak in the studio. A very distinctive percussive, sorta tribal drumming sound. They originally recorded, maybe even some of this material, under some bridge in the greate L.A. region that gave the recordings a very unique sound. Their other main piece to their music besides pretty cool matching vocals that somehow are very appropriate to this music, is a guitar assault. At least two guitars. And the percussion includes one of those big 'ol oil drums. You gotta sample this stuff from this web site. Yer very likely to get hooked. Don't be shy, feel free to purchase this CD. Because every song on this album is a gem. And that doesn't happen that often. I can think of maybe 20 albums out of 1000's where that's true. This is one of them. Solid and a real pleasure to listen to from beginning to end. chrisbct@hotmail.com』
(Tragic Figures - Highly Influential 80s art punk) 『This CD is a compilation of the 1982"Tragic Figures"LP by Savage Republic, plus their two 7"singles and a few other rarities, including the song"Mobilization"that appeared on the Sub Pop 2000 compilation. Early"industrial"experiments that influenced many bands that followed, including Jane's Addiction. This is the harshest and most experimental of the four Savage Republic re-issues, and in many ways the most minimal. There is a raw intensity on most of the tracks, and even some humor, hidden in punk angst and screams. Los Angeles at its most primal and essential.』
『This is for the Dolphin Eva Lamp. This type of lamp, eva lamp, are really cool to begin with. However, now that they have it in Dolphin it's even better! Light stands about 7" x 11" x 6" . Produces a very good amount of light. The overall blue color makes the majority of the light blue, so it doesn't hurt your eyes. Due to the texture of the lamp, it makes a design in the light. Just an overall cool lamp. Uses a standard 110V Electric outlet for power. Great gift for anyone who likes Dolphins...』

The older, closer-to-the-original-story episodes are more fun, silly and nonsensical. By comparison, the engines' distinctive personalities are noticeably watered-down from the early episodes, and there is a lot less technical detail. We still love it, though. Beats the pants off Barney any day.』

(Best Thomas DVD Ever!) 『Wonderful DVD, hods the kids attention the whole time. Sing a long songs in between movie shorts. Just a wonderful Thomas DVD.』
(Great edition for your Thomas lover!) 『My two year old adores this DVD! Because I'm a teacher, I'm always looking for a way to make his TV time more educational - the special features in this video get my vote! It's nice to have a short break between the stories to make your child think! There's a feature that has children matching shapes, then a maze that matches engines to their special job (ie - Percy to the mail cars). This dvd also has two songs (that will get stuck in your head if you aren't careful). Our edition also came with Duncan (purchased for the same price at Wal-mart). Several of the stories feature Duncan and Toby which was a delight for my son who just adores Toby. You are also introduced to Mighty Mac and Neville. The short stories are engaging and enjoyable for you and your child (OK, maybe not you after the 50th time, but the first few times are great!) Even better, we get out our trains and recreate the story after it's done. The interface of the DVD is great! You aren't forced to watch ad after ad, but rather you can choose to play once, choose a story, or play constantly. My only complaint is the same with the other Thomas DVDs - why the little case? It's hard for my child to see and choose what he wants. However, it's a small complaint, not even enough to change the star rating.』 『Join Thomas and the newest engines on The Island of Sodor in these six thrilling episodes!

(The Thriller Boom in my Living Room) 『What an outstanding DVD (4.75 stars) -
I was really skeptical at first because the price was so low and I just thought this was going to be one of those cheap and poorly put together Muhammad Ali pieces. I put it on my Holiday Wish List and I figured 10 bucks is pretty cheap for a family member and it's a DVD I want to check out...Maaaan did I get lucky!
Lots of great, fun and rare footage. Some great interviews and thoughts and memories from some pretty interesting people and a hilarious story from Billy Crystal in the Special Features section (the only good thing about that section otherwise it's pretty lame)
Great for any Muhammad Ali fan! - The price for this DVD is absolutely outstanding!』
(Comprehensive documentary on The Greatest) 『Muhammad Ali was recently named the "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated magazine. "Muhammad Ali Through The Eyes of the World," which comes out on January 29th, tells the amazing story of this great athlete, political figure, and celebrity and you can easily see why Ali might have been chosen for this great honor. After all, he always knew he was "The Greatest" - something he claimed about himself from his earliest days of boxing.
"Muhammad Ali Through The Eyes of the World" is a documentary without a narrator. It basically is hundreds of short clips of interviews of everyone from childhood neighbors, former trainers, boxing opponents, friends, family, celebrities, etc. All of these are held together and made cohesive with clips from various sports and boxing historians. The number of voices making up the documentary, though, is really stunning! About the only one they didn't get a current interview from was Ali himself, but given that he suffers from Parkinson's disease now, that would probably have been fairly difficult.
As most people born before 1985 know, Ali was born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky. His start in boxing came from his bicycle being stolen. He told his father that he was going to "woop" whoever it was when he found out who had stolen his bike. His father asked if he knew how to fight and Ali said no, so his father took him to the local boxing ring and thus was born one of the greatest if not THE greatest boxer ever. What he did in the ring was revolutionary for a heavyweight, as he danced around with the agility of a Barishnikov ducking and bobbing and getting in a punch here and there till he finally bested his opponents either by out and out knockout or by TKO. At least this was the case in his early days. This documentary covers all of his fights, and although there was only an average of 10 or 15 seconds of footage of each fight (save for his fight with Spinx where there is only a still image), at least there was footage of each and lots of commentary about each fight from various people.
Ali was great not only for what he did in the ring, of course, but for his behavior in the public eye. He was a showboater and braggadocio, of course, but he backed this up and was a gracious looser the few times this happened. Nevertheless, more importantly he was outspoken about his own political and moral beliefs. Most people know that he converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali, and subscribed to many of the stances of that organization, at least initially. But what many don't know is that Ali was outspoken even before this. For example after coming back from winning the gold metal for boxing in the 1960 Olympics, he through his metal into the Ohio River to protest the racism that was still blatantly prevalent in his home town.
The documentary does not shy away from the controversial aspects of some of what made Ali a complex individual, although it definitely puts his flaws in a positive light, as if to make excuses for them. For example, although a wonderfully supportive father, Ali had 4 wives, and apparently quite a few affairs on top of this. While he divorced one wife apparently because she did not want to cover herself in the way that the Nation of Islam would have proposed (as well wanting to dance, smoke, etc.), Ali was seen escorting new girlfriends on trips while still married. The only family members actually interviewed were one his former wives and one of his daughters. Both are very favorable towards Ali, and his daughter actually says she's glad he was so prolific with relationships or she and all her brothers and sisters would not be around.
The documentary is almost two hours long, so has quite a bit of great footage. Universal presents it in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1), and transfer is wonderful - at least as far as the modern interview clips go. Of course earlier footage of fights, interviews, etc. from the '60's and 70's are flawed, but there's not much that could have been done about these. The audio is almost primarily dialogue and so the 5.1 Dolby Digital Soundtrack really doesn't get a chance to show off, but the dialogue is crisp and clean for what its worth. One would not expect to see extras on a documentary, but Universal has provided a decent array of bonus material, although each one is fairly small in length. I actually preferred this after watching the 114-minute documentary! Included is a music video, stills of the artwork of Leroy Nieman who did live work during Ali's fights, additional interview outtakes, and a very short "featurette" which could have been simply inserted into the documentary itself without seeming out of place. Also there is an Ali Center Promo: The Ali Center is being built in downtown Louisville and will promote learning and striving for excellence in all areas for youth based on Ali's own life experiences. Finally, there is "Through the Eyes of the World" which has short clips from the "man-on-the-street" but also some boxing professionals on what Ali means to them. I would have liked somewhat longer clips for these as they were only about 10-20 seconds each, but there are so many (10 countries are represented), that having clips that were much more than a couple of minutes per country would probably have gotten a bit tiresome, especially after the fairly long documentary. All these extras and the documentary itself make a really good value for even the list price..., let alone for discounted copies!
Overall, "Muhammad Ali Through The Eyes of the World" is a very comprehensive documentary. It tells a complete story of a great figure, both within sports and outside, from so many different perspectives, with so much old and newer footage, and with so many voices, that you can't help to come away from it feeling like you've really learned a great deal about Ali, and why he himself as well as so many other still consider him to be "The Greatest."』
(Loved it) 『This is the greatest Ali movie ever made. Period』 『Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/06/2004 Starring: Richard Harris Run time: 94 minutes Director: Phil Grabsky』 『Muhammad Ali's grace, charisma, and remarkable bravado shine through in this affectionate look at his life and career.Muhammad Ali: Through the Eyes of the Worldtakes a fairly straightforward documentary approach, chronicling Ali's life and career through film footage and interviews with journalists, loved ones, and a few bizarre commentators, like Scottish comedian Billy Connolly. The film does an excellent job of conveying both Ali's genuine importance as a historical figure and his incredible personal magnetism. Though the documentary doesn't shy away from his faults, Ali is simply impossible to dislike. Most importantly, the film's commentary and carefully selected fight footage make it clear even to those who don't follow the sport what a remarkable boxer Ali was. At one point, Lennox Lewis refers to the "sweet science" of not getting hit, and watching Ali dodge a barrage of punches, we understand exactly what he means.Muhammad Ali: Through the Eyes of the Worlddoesn't pack quite the dramatic wallop ofWhen We Were Kings, but it is a compelling look at one of history's greatest athletes.--Ali Davis』

Also comes with 2 regular Battle Droids and an Onaconda Farr mini-figure(nice head sculpt of Greedo). Also of note is that I like how Lego designed the rear tail fin to be hollow so as the attenae on the front opening cockpit won't interfere with opening and closing.
Cons's-Really none except that the cockpit is quite bare. Could've used some elements of design to show working controls, lights, etc. No biggie. Anyone can modify the cockpit to add details to it.
Final note, note sure but perhaps someone can clarify...I believe the Nute Gunray and Onaconda Farr mini-figures are exclusive to this set.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (It doesn't teach robotics.) 『Contrary to some of the other reviews, I haven't found LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 to be a significant advancement over Robotics Invention System Version 1.5: Mindstorms Power of Robotics.
I taught a high school robotics class for two years using the Mindstorm 1.5 Version and the students found it challenging to their inventive capabilities. The forms and purposes the robots could take were almost unlimited. The students were learning robotics, or the function of robotic devices.
With the Mindstorm NXT release students went from learning robotics to constructing preconceived robots. This change is similar to going from learning creative concepts to learning craft concepts. That is, changing from using basic elements to assembling parts from a kit, or to "painting by the numbers."
The same criticism can be found in reviews of basic Legos, and the parents' reviews who find their children much more creative and happy with basic Legos than with the many specialized kits being sold now.
Perhaps some other company will see the potential in making a basic robotics kit that allows free creativity, and includes the improvements in technology and software that have occurred since Mindstorms 1.5 was produced.
』
(worth the wait and the money.) 『this product is probably the most exspensive, but yet the best by far product i have bought in my whole life. this product is very educational as i have learned more about robotics after one day than i have in my whole life. so bottom line is that this product is worth the money and the wait and i highly recomend it.』
(Lego Mindstorms) 『The Lego Mindstorms Kit is a good introduction to robotics for young children. The basic components and the programming software are well tailored for young children to master quickly.』
(Mr. Roboto NXT 2.0) 『Big fan of Legos Technic. I have been wanting to get a mindstorms kit and finaly got this one. I am thrilled with the possabilities. Still need to get some adapters to be able to add in my Technic Power Functions, But otherwise it has greatly increased the quality and abilities of the projects i can make.』
(Love it) 『This is an awesome kit! It has enough pieces to build a few different configurations of robot (note that there are only enough motors to build one robot at a time). I bought this to use in a high-school classroom. This was our experience:
-The box came in the mail and the kids tore into it. They were psyched. When they opened the box, they were bewildered by the number of pieces. We figured out that the pieces were divided into individual bags for each project. The bags aren't resealable, so you should have a plan for keeping them organized once they are opened.
-They wanted to build the hardest project (the one depicted on the front of the box), but I convinced them to start small. They built the little car first. It took about an hour because we were still learning how to use all of the pieces. The directions were hard for them to follow because they weren't used to legos. They missed a step somewhere and it messed them up so much that they had to take the project apart and start over. We were out of time, so I took the set to a friend's house and her 10 year old lego-enthusiast son put it together. He was able to follow the pictures and complete the project within 30 minutes.
-My students loved programming the robot once it was put together. The setup process isn't ideal for the classroom, as there are lots of small pieces that can be easily lost. In the future, I will assemble robots myself (or let a small group of dedicated students work on it after school) and then let the kids do the programming. It's not that the kids CAN'T build the project (because clearly, the 10-year-old had no problem), but it was hard for them to do it as a group. Assembly required a lot of focus and space.
-I plan to purchase more of these for my classroom. The kids can work in groups of 3-4 students per kit. I want to encourage parents to buy this, too. It's definitely a toy that you'll enjoy along with your kids. I would say age minimum is a mature 8. The 10-year old could put it together, but he had a hard time with problem-solving skills. If a piece was missing (and a few were), he stopped working instead of looking for a similar piece in one of the other bags. Parental supervision is definitely required. This toy will stop being fun if you lose too many pieces.』 『

First, the brain of the MINDSTORMS robot is NXT, an intelligent, computer-controlled LEGO brick that features a 32-bit microprocessor, a large matrix display, input and output ports, and a speaker.
Second, three Interactive Servo Motors give you precise control over the robot and ensure that the robot moves with precision -- the built-in rotation sensor can measure one-degree steps.
Third, there are four robotic sensors. The first is the Ultrasonic Sensor, one of two sensors that gives your robot vision. You can use it to make your robot avoid obstacles, sense and measure distance, and detect movement.
And fourth of all, two Touch Sensors give your robot a sense of touch. They detect when they are being pressed or released, and you can use them to make your robot pick up things or act on command. For example, by pressing a Touch Sensor you can make your robot walk, talk, close a door, or turn off your TV.
There's also a Color Sensor that functions three ways: it distinguishes colors -- black and white, as well as a range of bright and pastel colors -- it distinguishes light settings, and it can be used as a color lamp.
And finally, the MINDSTORMS Software lets you program your robot. Use the software to create a program, and then download the program to the NXT by using the USB cable or the wireless Blue tooth connection. Mac- and PC-compatible drag-and-drop software gives you 16 building and programming challenges, from beginner to expert.
Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever design elements. Our testers enjoyed the way the set brought a new level of interaction to their LEGO experience, and appreciated how easy it was to create their first robot. They also loved the way this set encourages inventive play -- all the cool hardware that makes up the set can be used to build any robot you dream up. Finally, our testers liked how this set offers a great balance of learning and fun, and encourages interest in science, computers, and engineering.

An artist can never practice drawing and painting anatomy enough, no matter how advanced they are in study or career. I love the skeletal velum overlaying photographs of body parts illustrating exactly how they fit inside our bodies. There are several photographs of hands, feet, and an actual skeleton for detailed practice. The bodies, as others have mentioned, are fit and muscular making for excellent for reference and drawing practice. I borrowed this book from the library so many times I decided it was time to buy a copy of my own. It continues to be one of my favorite anantomy books to use when I need a reference while experimenting with various mediums.』
(Useful&Beautiful) 『This book was exactly what I wanted: detailed anatomy designed for the artist's needs.
Highly recommend.』
(the best book ever!!) 『My father bought this book a couple of years ago, but now I'm studying anatomy in college, so I started using it. I just loved it!! Its complete, simple, well explained, wonderfull!! Even if you like also other authors, its a must-have!!』
(wonderful) 『Excellent book to have for reference to give you a great understanding of anatomy. Beautiful renderings with structural overlays.』
(great quality) 『the book took a bit long to get to me but it was in perfect condition.』 『Anatomy for the Artistis like having your own life-drawing studio in the privacy of your home. Carefully constructed photographs of the human form allow you to see the structure and function of the skeleton and main muscle groups. Six imaginative drawing lessons, each supported with photography, show how to portray the bones, head, rib cage, pelvis, hands, and feet in perspective, from different angles, both in still poses and in movement.』 『In Anatomy for the Artist, acclaimed artist and teacher Sarah Simblet unveils the extraordinary construction of the human body, and celebrates its continual prominence in Western Art.
The transparent body. Using superb, specially commissioned photographs of male and female models, together with historical and contemporary works of art, and her own illustrations, Sarah shows us how to see inside the human frame, to map its muscle groups, skeletal strength, balance, poise, and grace. Selected drawing superimposed over photographs reveal fascinating relationships between external appearance and internal structure.
Drawing from life. Six drawing classes guide the reader to see the human body afresh, offering techniques and attitudes that imaginatively show how to view and draw the skeleton, head, ribcage, pelvis, hands, and feet.
Dissecting the Masters. By investigating ten Masterworks, the author demonstrates different artist's ideas and knowledge across time, ranging from Holbein's Christ Entombed, to Edward Hopper's Hotel Room. Each Masterclass presents a photographed model set in the same pose, so that anatomical comparisons can be made. Understanding anatomy is often the key to an artist's understanding and interpretation of the body. This imaginative modern reference book will enhance the drawing and painting techniques of artists at every level.』

It was mostly a sketching class and the book helps the student understand how the body is divided when it comes to drawing fashion and croquis. Overall, I think its a fantastic book because it also includes how to draw faces, eyes, hands, etc as well as how textures are drawn and comes with a few color sketches and ideas to get you started. The rest is up to your own imagination.』
(Exactly what I was looking for) 『This is a great book. It is exactly what I was looking for. It demonstrates how to draw the body, face, poses and fashions.』
(Nice pictures) 『I got this book and was not thrilled. It has some nice pictures, but they don't teach much about drawing. There is also nudity for no real reason. Some of the illustrations look more pin-up than fashion. I find most of the illustrations very short waisted.』
(Figure Drawing for Fashion Design (Pepin Press Design Books)) 『This book is full of graphics and excellent information about drawing the fashion figure. I teach fashion design and illustration and I recommend this to anyone, beginner or intermediate!』
(Better off taking a fashion sketching class) 『I bought this book because I *just* wanted templates. (I know that as a designer, my strong suit is not in fashion sketching like this, never has been- but sometimes you have to.)
What this book provides is more of a how to create the bodies you want based off of the 9-head model. For some, this is great- a classroom in the book. For me, who has been working in this field for a long time and I just needed to crank some bodies out without putting in (for me) an excruciating ammount of work, it fell short.
Also, the proportions of the bodies are a little strange and the hand placement a bit rough. I spent more time fiddling with more natural hand positions on the templates than actually drawing the garments on them.
It is a good book for those who can't attend an actual sketching course, but if you're looking for templates- good luck.』 『FIGURE DRAWING FOR FASHION DESIGN offers a concise, topic by topic guide to acquiring and perfecting these skills, concentrating on the female form. The coverage provided means that this book is ideal both for those who want to apply themselves professionally to fashion design, and for all enthusiasts of drawing the human body. Fashion plates are the primary means of visualizing ideas and concepts in costume and fashion design. To give an accurate impression of what is in a designers mind it is vital to have complete mastery of the rules of figure drawing. Here, realism and anatomical precision are the chief values, whereas for costume and fashion, stylization and exaggeration are ways of adding individuality and verve to a plate, and of focusing attention on specific elements.』

This book brought me up to speed quickly and I was productively using SSIS in no time at all. I probably spent about 20 hours working through all of the lessons and it was a very painless introduction. The video training is what sets this book apart from the crowd. From now on, any book with similar video will move to the top of my list.』
(Great Introduction. The videos add a lot!) 『I hadn't heard of SSIS until the week before I bought this book. This book gave me a broad overview with enough depth to get started. Now I'm using the software for actual work. Very worthwhile.
Couple of notes: 1) Not for SQL Server Express 2) Are you old-school? SSIS is the new Data Transformation Services 3) The book is for MS SQL 2008. I'm using 2005, and could follow along easily. Minor differences.
On another note, all computer books should have video. I can't tell you how helpful that was. They didn't spend a lot of time or money making the video. They just had something running that recorded their screen actions and voice, and let them zoom in. Then they basically just showed on screen what they were talking about in the book. It looks like they spent five or ten minutes per chapter. They make it look so easy, that from now on I'm going to consider anyone who doesn't include a video in a computer book to be lazy. In other words, they raised the bar. Authors, this is the new standard. It doesn't have to be expensive to be effective. Not perfect, just useful.』
(Need to learn SSIS? This book is for you!) 『If you need to "come up to speed" quickly or are just learning at your own pase, this is the right book for you. And here is why:
1. Straight forward and simple explanations. 2. Solid examples that you can work on your own. 3. You CAN jump around in this book learning what you need 'right now' to get the job done. 4. DVD in the back of the book where you can watch every example being worked by the authors while they explain it.
Even if you have some experience with SSIS, this book teaches you exactly what you need to know about each object. Each object in the toolbar has been given its own chapter in this book, so you can learn what you need to know quickly, allowing you to jump around in the book. The authors have left out the 'complex business examples' and 'chapter build ups' where you must understand chapter 3 before going on to chapter 4 as you find in other books.
I really enjoyed how the authors included all the three ways of learning: reading, working examples, and watching the videos. After reading the book cover to cover, I now keep it at home, but carry the DVD with my laptop for quick reference. 』
(Not just a great book but also with a great DVD!) 『I like the way the book was written, its very organized and it showed a lot of practical examples. The way they present things are clear. The DVD itself is worth the price. I wish more books and DVDs are like this.』
(Good book with video lessons.) 『Pretty good book, despite coverage of SSIS is limited. Epecially handy the video lessons on the attached disk. I would like to have more coverage on using SSIS with XML files.』 『A unique book-and-video package for learning Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services
If you need a practical, hands-on introduction to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services (SSIS), this book and video package from foremost SSIS authority Brian Knight gets you thoroughly up to speed.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Best Thing For Diamondhead) 『This is a highlight for me. Bandai is known for making vehicles that transform (Power Rangers Megazords for example). One minus I have is that the person who put this listing up spelled Diamondhead wrong. This thing has a few good features. For one if you have the Heatblast and Upgrade ships, they can combine. If your not combing them the front opened up can be like a hyper-attack mode. It has a piece that lights up. It has Ben in the driver seat which can be folded over to be Diamondhead if you so disire. The main reason I am reviewing this toy is because Diamondhead is my favorite alien on the Omnitrix, 2nd place being Heatblast then XLR8. So I am ifing on this toy but I might get it.』 『
The Alien Ship matches Diamondhead's DNA makeup and characteristics of his home planet. Diamondhead has a hardened rock crystal-like body, which makes him nearly invulnerable to attack. His crystalline body lets him refract electromagnetic radiation.
Ben is the captain of this ship; transform him to put Diamondhead behind the wheel!
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Awesome) 『I actually bought these to use as decorations on a cake I decorated like a football field for my fiancee for Valentine's day. Worked well for what I was using them for, and he loved that he could keep them.』 『Assemble your lineup and get ready to make winning plays with this officially licensed Oakland Raiders Ultimate team figurine set from McFarlane Toys.

Each figure features an authentic team uniform with name and stands on a base.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (not enough support for big breasts) 『I'm a 36 DD. I like to stay active, but hate bounce. This bra is perfectly adequate for low impact activities (yoga, weight lifting), but any activity that requires more movement (such as speed walking, basketball, running, off road biking) it fails miserably. If you jump up and down in this, its downright painful how much your breasts move up and down. Furthermore, I found the bra unattractive under a t shirt. I've had the same experience with many other Shock Absorber bras. I mainly use this bra with another low support bra to give adequate support. However, for this price, you are better off buying a couple of cheaper bras and using two at the same time. If you want a bra that you don't need to layer and that will eliminate bounce, keep looking. This is not the bra for you.』
(best ever sports bra) 『If you have a fuller figure this is the best bra ever for bigger sizes. Holds you in and up no matter what you do. No wires is a bonus.』
(Bounceless, but ugly) 『I bought this bra in black, mainly for running and cardio. While it definately keeps the Girls in place, it is not very comfortable or attractive. The back strap is very itchy-the fabric and stitching feels rather cheap-and the bra itself is pretty ugly. It does not offer any lining other than the bra itself (a very thin fabric), so if you are not a big fan of, eh, nipple protrusion, you may want another bra. Also, this bra is a bit reminiscent of the pointy bras from the 40's, so under shirts it does look a bit strange.
I don't think I'd repurchase this bra as there are others out there than minimize bounce and are more comfortable.』
(review) 『This bra is not bad. I was on a quest to find a great one, and I came across Shock Absorber brand. I would say the bra does absorb the shock, but I don't feel like I found "extreme support" like in the title. It is a good bra, but I was hoping to feel more support for the name and the price.』
(Correct label but wrong size?!?) 『My wife ordered this bra because she had already ordered one before and really enjoyed it. However, when the bra arrive the size was too big. Oddly the label was correct but again it was unusable. She gave the bra away, but she is worried similar product problems might happen again.』 『For a high impact workout without the bounce, try this Shock Absorber D+ bra. It has a double inner layer, cushioned straps and back fastening with three hooks for support. It contains CoolMax and has a mesh panel between the cups to keep you cool.』
