I've seen their evolution and it's very refreshing. This CD is great for blasting in your car stereo while driving way too fast downtown. The production doesn't truly represent the full impact of their live show. You have to see these guys live!!I hope the world is ready to take notice of the great music scene in Minneapolis. Don't forget to check out to check out"Damage Control".』
(why isn't this band signed to a major label?) 『in a world of bandwagons and bandwagon chasers it's refreshing to hear a band like janis figure. different and interesting. drums, guitar, and bass fit really well together with vocals that sound like no one else. maybe not what's popular today(korn, ska, swing)but hopefully the future of rock tomorrow.』
(One BAD Kitty.) 『This band kicks a**. They're incredible to hear live, and their cd does an unbelievable job of encapsulating their talent. I can't wait for their next disc! Billy's got incredible presence, the Chachi's a great drummer, and their guitar and bass players are fantastic. Best song? Yhat or One Bad Kitty.

The names of the great stretched back to the first days of the 20th century and as the living legends spoke of those that had come before their eyes would shine with pride for being part of such a great game, a great fraternity. The younger generation still playing spoke with pride about shaking the hands of one of their idols and the crowd was just great. If indeed the team depicted in the video could have been fielded - it would be the most priceless game ever played.』 『With rare archival footage, exclusive interviews, and compelling stories, the Major League Baseball All-Century Team program honors 30 legendary all-time heroes through the personal accounts of teammates, opponents, and even their own recollections.』

I guess I expected more clips of the NBA basketball games and especially when they won the championship. If you are interested in learning about his life, when he began his basketball career in from high school to NBA, this is a good DVD. If you are only interested in his NBA career and want to see some of the more exciting games, you need to get a different DVD.』
(Great Insights) 『This video shows the importance of a good coach to get the most out of a player. It also highlights the importance of having quality players around a good player. Sir Charles is honest in this video and that is refreshing.』
(great collection) 『props always to Sir Charles. Charles Barkley was one of the Greatest Basketball players ever and off the court he always had a quote and spoke his mind and still does. He is great on TNT with Ernie Johnson and Kenny the Jet Smith. Charles Barkley was a under-sized small forward but he played like a giant as this collection highlights. the Man is a Winner to me and he had Game.』
(Sir Charles but where is the rest?) 『This DVD is about 45 minutes long. It shows highlights from Charles early days as a high schooler through to his college years and later onto his NBA days with the 76s and the Suns. There are some great highlights and interviews with Charles and other NBA greats. The majority of the DVD is taken up with the Suns battles with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.
The DVD falls short in length and content. It misses Charles' days with the Rockets and his quest for a championship.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Support) 『This adjustable Figure 8 is great as the first part of the base is already attached - you just have to slip your foot in and then velco shut. Much better than just the straight one that you have to wrap around your foot.
I order 1 size up - as I need the support, but not to tight and I have wide feet.
I have just re-order so that I'll have these for support when I am working outside on uneven ground. Also, my foot sweats, so it better to have extra to rotate to keep them clean.』 『The Adjustable Figure 8 Elastic Ankle Support is slipped over the foot and up the ankle to provide a figure 8 style wrap.

The support is made out of "Tri-Tension Elastic" which is resistant to rolling at the edges while offering dynamic support that moves with you.

(Just ok material too thin) 『I have been trying to find an affordable sleeveless nightgown and thought I had found it and bought three. The material is too thin for me and as you can see through it I do not feel comfortable wearing it around the house but it is OK just to sleep in.』
(Verrrry happy!) 『Wanted a comfortable nightgown that was feminine and not overly sexy. This foots the bill perfectly. The sizing is a little generous but other than that it is perfect.』
(Wonderful purchase) 『I just received this Vanity Fair gown in lavender/M and can't tell you how delighted I was to be able to find it!! It's so soft and comfortable, and arrived within three days of my order. I plan to go right back and buy another color. Many thanks.』
(A Good Maternity Nightgown) 『I bought this nightgown because I am pregnant with twins and on bedrest and needed something to sleep in that was comfy. I got a XX so that I would have enough room to grow and the nightgown fit loosely, creating a nice feeling on my growing belly. It is high enough that my tatas dont slip out (which is common with my maternity PJs top) and is stretchy, so I think that I can get through my entire pregnancy with it. The only thing I didnt care for is that it is fairy sheer (I got the azure color) and, being in the hospital, I was hoping for something a tad heavier. But all in all, I am very satisfied. I'm actually ordering a second one so that I can have one when the other is in the wash.』 『This short nightgown from Vanity Fair is a classic.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (ONLY nursing bra that has WORKED so far) 『With breasts as large as mine, a bra need not only fit, it's gotta WORK. I am nursing my first child with breasts bigger than her (it's really a sight to see) and have tried about a dozen bras. What's missing in most nursing bras seems to be support; the flip-down design makes molded cups impossible, apparently, so the fabric of the cup itself needs to be tough. This is the only bra I've found that actually holds my breasts up. I know a lot of women seem to experience this "up around my neck" kind of engorging - not me. Mine are just as low as ever but bigger than is decent. I wouldn't leave the house the first few weeks after my baby was born because I looked so dumpy in all the other saggy, baggy nursing bras. I ordered one of these, it fit, and I ordered two more. If you have huge breasts (but aren't otherwise plus size - I've noticed a lot of bras only come in the crazy-big cups if you're like a 48 around), this is the bra to buy. As cliched as it sounds, I got my life back.
Man, Anita should make me a paid spokesperson.....』
(Super Comfy, Straps Not As Depicted Though) 『I'm petite, but have large breast's and normally wear a 32D or DD depending on the brand. Since I'm nursing (#3 btw) I ordered a 32F and the cup size is perfect. This bra's band does run large so be sure to order a size smaller than what you would normally wear. I was unable to do this as they didn't offer a 30F. Because of this I can tell that it won't fit once the rest of my preggo weight comes off as I'm already using it on the tightest setting. In the meantime it's great and super comfy!
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the straps are not as depicted in the picture. I cannot wear this bra with a tank top because the straps are wide and industrial looking. Another review stated that it had "normal" straps so it could be worn w/tanks and that's what eventually won me over so that was a little disappointing, but I'm not sending it back because we live up north and it will be worn mostly during the fall/winter months to come. Otherwise the bra is very pretty, and like I said before, the comfort is outstanding!!
I've tried a TON of nursing bra's and this is by far the best. Well worth your dollar!』
(The BEST bra EVER!) 『This bra is so great! I bought it when I was about 7 months along thinking I would need a good nursing bra soon...I had purchased several different ones from other manufacturer...this one was the best! The fit is fantastic, it is very comfortable, and for a larger chest it is perfect! The snaps are easy to do one handed and it is very soft. I highly recommend spending the money and buying this bra.』
(Bra) 『This bra actually fit, which is nice for larger on the top women, but the support leaves a little bit to be desired. I did wear it throughout my breastfeeding year and it was comfortable, I just wish it had a little bit more support. SOMEone please come up with a supportive maternity/nursing bra for larger breasted women!
Access is super easy. I much prefer the open cup style to the hole in the cup style. It is just easier access for the baby and easy to "put away" my goods.
Overall, it is a nice bra and I would recommend it.』
(Pretty, but not comfy) 『This may be TMI, but the lace front is not comfy on breast feeding nipples and of course there is no absorbing material, so adding a nursing pad looks ridiculous through the lace. It is very pretty and it is nice to feel sexy, but it is not practical for daily wear.』 『Styled in modern floral stretch lace, this Anita Maternity nursing bra has pre-formed cups and an extra soft finish on the skin side. With a snug, natural fit, it has patented KwikKlip drop cups and features a memo to mark the side last used for feeding.』

(Droid battle pack) 『This set is good and comes with 4 battle droids and 3 super battle droids. It also comes with a droid patrol boat and a STAP. I like taking the clear stand off the STAP and put it on a different ship as a gun. If one battle droid pilots the patrol boat and the other pilots the STAP then you have 2 battle droids and 3 super battle droids. pros: -plenty of figures -good duribility cons: -Blasters are the old kind
this set is good overall.』
(Great Product) 『This set is based on Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. It's a great set to help quickly build the number of "LEGO guys" in your collection. And with my kids, it's all about "the guys". This one has 4 Battle Droids and 3 Super Battle Droids, and a transport to carry them all.
My only gripe about this set has to do with the figures (guys), and the points at which their heads, arms and legs snap together. They work fine for quite some time, but over a long period of time they seem to wear out and become quite loose (at the joints). LEGO is a product that is built to last many years, so this is an important point to me. If the models are used for display and never played with, they might last longer, but eventually the same thing will happen. And with frequent play, especially with younger kids who aren't as careful, the parts become loose more quickly, and can even have some parts break. But I wouldn't get scared off by this observation, this set (and all LEGO) is still much more durable and lasting than most other building toys on the market.
A strong point about LEGO is that you never have to worry about the pieces fitting together. They are always a perfect fit and stay together well. Having had other brands of brick building toys, I can say this is not a common trait.
LEGO is always a winner. For decades LEGO has delivered high-quality, imagination inspiring products. Combined with the Star Wars universe, you can't go wrong!』 『When the Separatists attack, the Republic fights back with its legions of Clone Troopers.

(I Miss the Point) 『If you feel compelled to read this book, be sure to make a list of the three narrators, and who they are--otherwise you'll have a difficult time remembering who is who.
I have no idea how this writer could ever be compared to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who is a wonderful story teller and writes beautifully. I kept waiting for a climax, or explanation, or logical ending, but never received one. Perhaps it's cool to write without paragraphs or quotation marks, but unless the book is being read by the author, it makes for confusing reading.
I plan on adding this to my growing list of least favorite books I have ever plodded through. Just so you know my taste, the first on my list is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.』
(Another winner) 『He keeps amazing us with his talent. And burdening us with his now endless supply of new and forthcoming books from this deceased author.』
(Ugly man desires beautiful woman who desires adoration) 『Another amazing piece of work by Bolano, and unlike 2666 this one didn't take a month and leave behind feelings of despair that lasted almost as long, this can be read easily in one afternoon and will mostly disturb you for even less.
Like many poets that write novels Bolano sentences and paragraphs can become small stories of their own, forcing the reader to revisit the lines a couple times before re-embarcing on the rest of read.
The Skating Rink is interesting in the way it looks at corruption that becomes a scandal, the motives are often desperate and indicative of human failings, moral hazards that we are waist deep into before we feel the current that pulls us with no hope of return to normalcy. Even though we know that the situation is out of control and will not end well our irrational mind will convince us that we are OK.
The "discovery" of Bolano with "The Savage Detectives" and the breakout 2666 published after his death is providing the means to translate more or Bolano's work, this is good news for readers every where.』
(Good prelude for Savage Detectives) 『In some ways, it's a mini-Savage Detectives. There are three narrators rather than twenty, it's kept in (mostly) chronological order rather than skipping around, and while there's a mystery, it's not the heart of the story.
It doesn't have the sweep or scale of Savage Detectives, but it's very interesting, and I'd recommend it as a warm-up. Bolano's great.』 『âHe is by far the most exciting writer to come from South of the Rio Grande in a long time.â âIlan Stavans,Los Angeles TimesSet in the seaside town of Z, on the Costa Brava, north of Barcelona,The Skating Rinkoscillates between two poles: a camp ground and a ruined mansion, the Palacio Benvingut. The story, told by three male narrators, revolves around a beautiful figure skating champion, Nuria MartÃ. When she is suddenly dropped from the Olympic team, a pompous but besotted civil servant secretly builds a skating rink in the ruined Palacio Benvingut, using public funds. But Nuria has affairs, provokes jealousy, and the skating rink becomes a crime scene. A mysterious pair of women, an ex-opera singer and a taciturn girl often armed with a knife, turn up as well.
A complex book,The Skating Rinkâs short chapters are skillfully broken off with questions to maintain the narrative tension:Who was murdered? Who was the murderer? Will the murderer be caught?All of these questions are answered, and yetThe Skating Rinkis not fundamentally a crime novel, or not exclusively; itâs also about political corruption, sex, the experience of immigration, and frustrated passion. And itâs an atmospheric chronicle of one summer season in a seaside town, with its vacationers, its drifters, its businessmen, bureaucrats and social workers. .』

I have not been able to put it down, and as a student of classical rhetoric, this book is absolutely invaluable. The quips and quotes are marvellous and the terms put into the Greek and Latin I also found to be excellent. I highly reccomend this book to anyone for any reason. Books like this are valuable for reasons other than just rhetoric. You learn something new on every page, and often it can have meaning outside the rhetorical topic.』
(More than a textbook) 『This book--this excellent book--puts a name on just about every literary device, rhetorical term, and classical trope a writer could ever use, and by doing so allows writers and fans of the English language an opportunity to become more aware of what they write and more attuned to how their writing can be improved. If you fancy yourself a writer, you need this. Get it. Now. The book is well-organized, easily acccessible, loaded with great quotes, and a treasure trove of unique terms and devices. Some of these you've no doubt used and will be happy to hear these labeled and defined. Others will be new to you but will certainly be of use to you in the future. Chiasmus, anyone? This was assigned as a textbook for Jerome Shea's classical tropes class at the University of New Mexico, but I would never even consider selling this back at the end of the year. Having been introduced to this, I can no more imagine my writing den without it than I can imagine it without a dictionary or a thesaurus or a hidden drawer full of treats.』
(It's Just Fun!) 『Over the Christmas holidays, I traveled back east to visit my parents. I carried Lanham's"A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms."One night my mom and I sat up talking about everything from Picasso to metaphysics and at some point we got to talking about Shakespeare. I tried to explain to her why Shakespeare is rhetorically reveered, and at one point I climbed downstairs to the guest room and retrieved Lanham's book. She -- like most of us -- hears the word"rhetoric"and thinks of politicians and empty promises, or phrasing so complicated as to render simple fact obscure.
I think the first word in"Handlist"we got a chuckle over was"chiasmus"and some of the examples like"It's not whether grapenuts are good enough for you, but whether you're good enough for grapenuts!"And the famous"When the going gets tough, the tough get going."The one that gave her the best chuckle though was an editor's advice to a young writer"You're writing is both original and interesting; unfortunately the part that's original is not interesting and the part that is interesting is not original."
The great thing about this book is that it gives name to a great many devices we already use in everyday speech, and for a writer this information is invaluable. The better facility a writer has with these devices the better he or she can express our endless human emotions.
A good many of the examples give the Latin or Greek root word, but the definitions are in English. Many of them have example usage along with the definition.
E.g.,"Insultatio": derisive, ironical abuse of a person to his face. As Hamlet says to his mother: Look on this picture, and on this, The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. See what a grace was seated on this brow: Hyperion's curls, the front of Jove himself... This was your husband. Look you now what follows. Here is your husband, like a mildewed ear Blasting the wholesome brother. Have you eyes? Could you on this fair mountain leave to feed, And batten on this moor? Ha! Have you eyes? (Hamlett, III, iv)
All in all, I think this handlist -- as much a dictionary as a"handlist"of rhetorical devices -- is a rich resource for writers, law students, political science majors, and young English scholars. Indeed, with this handlist, you could begin your own"Progymnasmata"!

(A Wordsmith's Wonderland) 『Samuel Butler once wrote that"All a rhetorician's rules teach nothing but to name his tools."Classical and Medieval rhetoricians named, renamed, parsed, and cataloged all these tools with a bewildering sesquipedalian nomenclature."Handlist"almost succeeds in its attempt to make sense of this thorny thicket of jargon.
Chapter 1 of"Handlist"is a dictionary style listing of all the various names of the rhetorical devices. Each name is individually entered, but only the main name is defined. Each of the lesser names simply has cross references. The merely-cross-referenced names outnumber the actually-defined names by about 3 to 1. The actually-defined names should have been set in a bolder type than the merely-cross-referenced names.
Chapter 2 consists of an excellent review of the divisions of rhetoric. Read Chapter 2 first.
Chapter 3 takes the more common rhetorical devices and catalogs them by type, giving brief definitions. It catalogs only one name for each device, and is much more user friendly than Chapter 1. Read Chapter 3 second.
My suggestion for the third edition: Reorder the chapters. Put Chapter 2 first and Chapter 1 last.』
(poorly organized) 『The problem that I have with this book is that often the words that it defines tells me to go look up another fine. That would be fine, except that I go to the word it said to look up and discover that I either have to look up another word. This book is not helpful in that respect, and given that a lot of PCs run Windows, it doesn't really make sense to release a hypertext version for the Mac but not one for Windows. So the Windows users are stuck with a book that really isn't that good.』 『The first edition of this widely used work has been reprinted many times over two decades. With a unique combination of alphabetical and descriptive lists, it provides in one convenient, accessible volume all the rhetorical termsmostly Greek and Latinthat students of Western literature and rhetoric are likely to come across in their reading or to find useful in their writing. Now the Second Edition offers new features that will make it still more useful:A completely revised alphabetical listing that defines nearly 1,000 terms used by scholars of formal rhetoric from classical Greece to the present day.A revised system of cross-references between terms.Many new examples and new, extended entries for central terms.A revised Terms-by-Type listing to identify unknown terms.A new typographical design for easier access.』

(A photo memoir of Anne Franks' life) 『A nice little book about the life of a 16 year old girl killed by the Nazis. Despite the fact that Anne was persecuted and made to live in horrible conditions, she still maintained her humanity. Her killers however lost their humanity. This was a sad tale of a teenage girl living a life she should not have had to live.
I learned a lot from this book. I have scanned her diary, but have not read it completely. This book is a great addition, because it gives you a summary history plus lots of photos on the life of Anne Frank.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (This toy is a waste.) 『I opened the box containing this toy and laughed. It is the smallest action figure I have ever seen. Seriously, for this price and the overall size of this toy - it is a total joke. I would gladly pay another $[...] to buy a toy that I would consider a toy. This action figure is smaller than a normal sized pen. Truthfully, this is a total waste. I am not sure if I am going to give it as a gift. My seller was fine. The toy is a joke. Find something else!』
