Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A leg to stand on, sort of) 『Very cute and reminiscent of the movie. The recorded catch phrases are not actual excerpts from the movie however. They are simply renditions done by vocal actors, who unfortunately are not very accurate in voice, tone, or inflection. Aside from that cheesiness, it is a cute illuminated ornament that will still endear itself to any fan of the movie. Although it says so on the side, it doesn't seem as FRAGEELAY as glass ornaments.』 『Adorn your tree with this unforgettable scene from the cult Christmas classic A Christmas StoryA Christmas StoryHear one of three exchanges between Mr. and Mrs. Parker and see the lamp softly glow.

I am most intrigued by the ambience that establishes the true character of each band, known or unknown. After listening to this title and one other I'm somewhat shocked. Magellan has an almost generic sound. Heavy rock acts have existed since the 1960's, and there are a few that have continued to achieve an 'original' presence, but not these guys. Their music has little verve, a certain blandness about it. It's just not entertaining. After a couple of listens there are no 'hooks', no memorable melodies, nothing emotionally 'moving' about it at all. Magellan's vocals are boring, too dry, as if it were recorded in Death Valley. They resemble the musical equivalent of a collegiate thesis on Relativity. Honestly, Magellan sounds like they have never played a live performance in their lives. I strongly, emphatically recommend that they hire a drummer, bass player, a good vocalist, and go out to play live venues. Get out of the house, get out of the studio, actually play the music live, in front of people. Maybe they'll learn how to interact with a real audience, and learn what entertainment' really means.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A very pretty hidden gem.) 『'The Canterbury Pilgrims' by 20th century English composer George Dyson is a highly orchestrated song cycle or oratoria based on eleven stories out of Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'. One thing one must immediately know is that the style of music and the language is very, very modern. There is no Middle English or David Munro styled high middle ages music. There is not even any attempt to ape the style of medieval musical styles. On the fence about whether this work is 'pretty' or 'beautiful', I would opt for 'pretty', as it seems to lack just a bit of the kind of power you find in some of the very best 20th century orchestral and choral works, such as those from Stravinsky or even Ligeti.
I am happy to have this to listen to, even if I don't bring it out quite as often as 'The Rites of Spring' or even some works by countryman Percy Grainger.』
(Another gem from Chandos!) 『To any lover of English culture, this combination is irresistible. Geoffrey Chaucer's position in our literature is assured for all time. With other immortals like Shakespeare, Milton, Spenser, Pope, Dryden etc., he is used by generations of schoolchildren to bring those dusty pages of history to life by sheer dint of his creative literary genius. The Canterbury Tales was written at the end of the 14th century as an English response to the nascent Renaissance on the continent, specifically writers like Dante, Bocaccio and Petrarch who produced works in the vulgar tongue like the Roman de la Rose and the Decameron. The backgound for the work is that a group of pilgrims travelling from Southwark to Canterbury tell one another tales to pass the time away. Although Chaucer's sources for many of his tales may sometimes have appeared from beyond these shores his Prologue and the ensuing descriptions of the 'gods plentie' are truly English to the core. This is the material that Dyson uses in this chorus and orchestra piece; he does not venture into the tales thmselves. Dyson uses his easy going, friendly style right from the beginning with his fanfare and the opening motiv, portraying the Tabard Inn at Southwark as the Pilgrims set out; you can almost see the flag fluttering in the April breeze. Chaucer's text has been translated into modern English by the composer and he brilliantly underpins every line of Chaucer's famous descriptions with colourful, tuneful music that never fails to interest with its mercurial invention. For example listen to the careful orchestration around the Knight with its glories of 'chivalrie' and its undertones of 'curtesie'. The bravery and warlike side is set off against the fact he bore himself 'as meek as is a maid', with a quiet conclusion, implying the warlike glories are of the past but he still has a great dignity. The spring like freshness of the young Squire is reflected in the scoring with flutes and light woodwind dusting the tenor soloist's line. This is a work that has been thought out and worked at for a long period. This CD was an Editor's Choice for the Gramophone and I can only humbly concur with their adjudication. A delight to listen to. Dyson does not use fake mediaevalism a la Korngold. He might use a little modal writing in 'the Nun' but this is pure twentieth century music showing the universal nature of the pilgrims, namely as 'types' we would recognise in our contemporary world despite the passage of six hundred years. This is not so much as what they do but as to how they are. For instance, we might not have a Pardoner anymore but we have charlatans who have taken up another profession with as much sanctimony as Chaucer's character. Hickox and Co are clearly enjoying themselves immensely and we can only but join in the fun. They must start playing this at concerts after this CD. Wonderful stuff!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Quiet passion) 『Very easy listening music. Each instrument in the group blended seamlessly throughout, however, each identity still came through.』
(Some great moments) 『This recording has some great moments -- and they are all about Stefon Harris. This guy is a virtuoso, and his musical ideas seem to be created on the spot -- completely fresh. The only thing that detracts from this recording are the horns -- the infamous Greg Osby who dislikes melodies of all kinds, always playing"out"and distracting from the music. Unfortunately, Gary Thomas and Steve Turre seem to follow his lead. But there is still some fine music on this CD, and it is well worth buying. I am waiting for Stefon to really find his own voice and bust out with a recording all his own. If that ever happens, it will be a must-listen musical event.』
(blue note strikes again) 『I really wanted to like this CD. Unfortunately, as vibrant and dynamic of a performer as I suspect Stefon is, this CD does not warrant a glowing review. The impression I get every time I listen to this CD is that the performer is hidden behind a curtain. The dynamics and soundstage of the recording are just muffled enough to detract from the recording's energy, rendering it somewhat opaque. Poor Stefon, he has suffered the curse of the current incarnation of his label, Blue Note. I always hesitate to purchase Blue Note recordings: they just do not maintain the same level of sonic quality that a Mapleshade or Verve does. (A great example of this is Chucho Valdes' recent live recording at the Village Vanguard. Play that CD on a good stereo and you'll left scratching head and wondering if the folks at Blue Note are deaf; the recording's mixing is very poorly done.) I only purchased this CD as an introduction to Stefon, before seeing him perform live in 2 weeks. It will be interesting to see how much of Stefon's abilities this CD actually captures.』
(An emrging vibes MASTER!) 『This was one beautiful CD! I now realize with wet eyes (tears of joy) that life and music really does go on and on... Stefon reminds me of all of the vibe artists of olden times gone and still with us! I loved this CD as it was perfect for chillin' at a cookout or with your lady! I can only say that this CD brings back Mellow Madness or Quiet Storm classic to this whole CD.... A must for any Jazz Afficianado!

(Disappointing) 『This is a disappointing CD to me. The compositions and playing sound half formed, like the players were not quite ready to record an album yet and needed more seasoning. The band never really jells. Harris has obvious skill as a player but his ideas are not that compelling. This sounds like a student effort. I realize that other listeners have come to a different conclusion but these are my strong, and honest, impressions.』 『As a promising member of Generation X jazz musicians, vibraphonist Stefon Harris has accorded himself well with a variety of stars, including Wynton Marsalis, Steve Turre, and Cassandra Wilson. On his second CD, Harris is augmented by Turre on trombone, Jason Moran on piano, Gary Thomas on tenor sax and flute, Eric Harland on drums, and alto saxophonist Greg Osby. Stylistically, Harris is straight out of the Bobby Hutcherson school, especially on the uptempo numbers "Feline Blues" and "The Alchemist," which show off his penchant for blazing Coltrane-like runs. Harris's renditions of the standards "There Is No Greater Love" and "You Stepped Out of a Dream"--a solo performance--are marvelous melodic reconstructions, and "My Little Black Action Figure" and "Of Things to Come" swing in progressive, late-'60s and '90s grooves. "Faded Beauty" flirts with a moody, ebony-hued ambiance that suits Harris's beautiful mallet touch well and offers us a preview of what we can expect from emerging talent.--Eugene Holley Jr.』

(awesome) 『ITS AWESOME TO HAVE THIS VIDEOS AGAIN. I HAD THEM IN VHS FORMAT YEARS AGO AND HVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM ON DVD. IM GLAD I COULD GET IT.』
(Review On Air Time) 『This video sends chills through my body when I watch it. It shows Michael at his best and in the prime of his leaping days. This video is a motivation to me, I try to put it on every morning when I wake up. I strongly reccomend this video.』
(IF you like Mike you will like Airtime) 『Airtime came out after the Bulls second championship, during a time when Jordan was being touted as the greatest player that ever was just preceding the final season before his first retirement. What is captured here is the last of the youthful Jordan who beat you with speed because he didn't have to out think you. This video is only second to Micheal Jordan's playground in capturing the athletic marvel that Air Jordan possessed. Whether you are a basketball -or- Jordan enthusiast or impressed by the things Micheal Jordan could and did do on the court, I recommend this video. The people at NBA Entertainment packaged it so that it is not some romp for enthusiasts only. Quite entertaining. Expect to see Micheal Jackson, as well! Hey, maybe that works for you, eh 8-)』
(It's air time) 『"Air Time,"like all Michael Jordan videos, is awesome and scores a thundering slam dunk. It has a lot of Jordan's best gravity-defying shots and dunks, but it has a lot more than just highlights. Out of all the Michael Jordan videos I've seen, this one has more about Jordan as a person than any of the others. You'll see him spending time at home with his family, playing golf, and off the court at the Barcelona Olympics in '92. It also has a lot of insight from Jordan himself on what it's like to be a superstar, what he thinks of his friends in the NBA, and he talks about what he thinks of himself when it comes to basketball and as a role model.
"Air Time"does have a lot of Michael Jordan highlights from the regular season, a couple of the championships, an all-star game, and from the '92 Olympics. It also tells of some of the controversy Jordan had to put up with such as the accusations of his gambling and when a writer stated something that Jordan supposedly said about one of his teammates.
Bottom line, when you watch"Air Time,"you'll learn a lot more about Michael Jordan than you ever knew before, and it's coming from him in his own words. It also has some spectacular highlights that you will never forget. If you're a Michael Jordan fan, I recommend getting this video right away. If you're not a Michael Jordan fan, this video might change your mind about him.』
『Michael Jordan had won two championships and lived through two small scandals when this documentary-lite was made in 1993. During his 1991-1992 season, the unauthorized bookThe Jordan Rulesaccused the player of being a bossy, hot-tempered team captain, and questions about Michael's off-court gambling habits arose. Still, as the level-headed Jordan notes, he had decided that year that the only person who could knock him off his pedestal would be himself--not a book author or media folks. In short, Michael matured. And while watchingAir Time, it's hard not to believe in a guy who's had to believe in himself so often--especially when you see the endless stream of media pressure and public attention the man faced every day. It puts Jordan's love for golf in a new light, as a serene escape from the NBA circus.
While the video sprinkles Jordan's commentary throughout, it covers the Chicago Bulls' first two championships (with downright cool footage of the 1992 playoff series against the Knicks); Michael's second Olympic experience; his commercial endorsement work; and a music video with the ever-ghoulish Michael Jackson. Sneak peeks into Jordan's home life with Juanita and the kids are also tossed in. What's most engaging, though, is not walking down memory lane into the Bulls' glory days against L.A., Portland, and every other NBA team, but learning what a truly stable and genuine off-court demeanor Jordan has. In an age when young players proudly sport their arrogant, entitled attitudes, Michael's authentically gracious ways are those of a dying breed. After all, what red-hot player today--when given the opportunity to be captain of a Dream Team featuring Magic Johnson and Larry Bird--would defer without hesitation to his elders? Latrel Sprewell, he's not--and thank goodness.--Karen Karleski』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Strap it on - firm and more comfortable) 『As an avid basketballer (and now an old man) I have been a devotee of the Swede-O ankle braces for more than a decade. Did use the kind with the plastic splint that fit in the side pocket. Sometimes uncomfortable as it chafes the ankle bone. This model uses straps instead, that criss cross the ankle and velcro to adjust. I have used for a month and they are more comfortable, yet still as stable as I need. A little more work to put on, as they are more snug than the other model, and the other old men get impatient waiting for me to strap it up. But it is worth it when I later watch them writhe on the floor and grab their Swede-O-less ankles.』 『The Swede-O Inner Lok 8 ankle brace gives you inner strength.

He has a very cool painterly style and energy to his figures that I like. Some pieces are created like chinese paintings, not drawing in too much details to invite viewers to fill in the details (in their mind) themselves.
It's an inspiring book filled with beautiful images, recommended to anyone into figure drawings.

(--) 『The story of Mary is the first in this series that introduces the element of pure evil. Its shouts show the reader that accepting the seed of God was only the beginning of the life Mary led. She was faced with disbelief and ridicule, then her own pride and desires. The mother of God that so many deem holy was very much a woman, and yet a woman more blessed than any other. She brought forth the perfect son, yet she was very much a mother who struggled with the results. Rivers paints a picture of a woman who has unwavering faith in the Lord and yet cannot always reconcile her own will with His. Through this most famous of women's example, we are shown that the true test isn't to accept without hesitation the blessings God bestows, but to hold onto His promises without fear when they seem to be taken away.

(fast delivery and great product!) 『Love this series! It was nice to be able to complete with a nice product for cheap!』
(As a Mother...) 『I have read 2 of this series of novellas by Francine Rivers. Both this one and about Bathsheba. Both I think have expressed thoroughly a woman's perspective. I wept reading this book. As a Mother, it is impossible for me to imagine witnessing the events surrounding Christ and His crucifixion. Francine made this real for me. As far as being a "Catholic/Non-Catholic" version of Mary? Do Catholics have more information than the rest of the religions on Mary's character? Keep in mind it's a fictional book based on a real event. None of us were there. She put the "female" spin on it because that's what the series is about. I'll read the rest of the series. So much of the Bible left out the woman's perspective. Be blessed we have that freedom now.』
(Disappointing) 『I read the entire Lineage of Grace series and was thrilled with the other books, but this one was disappointing. I am a protestant and do not believe that Mary was sinless, but Francine Rivers made Mary out to be a complaining, and pushy mother. It is interesting that the author did not dwell on the sins of the other women in the series, eventhough we know that they were sinners. But, she chose to dwell on Mary's sins. I believe she was trying to make a point, which I agree with, but she took it too far.』 『Mary is one of the most revered women in history, but she was an ordinary woman striving to please God in the same way that women still do today.

I'm a big fan of the manga and anime, but the stamp was a little disappointing. You can attach it to your keychain, but you'd probably get ink on yourself because it doesn't have a cap. The stamp works, but it is plastic glued to a block of wood. When it comes down to it though, the stamp is cool.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (TOTALLY COOL TOY) 『This is a totally cool-looking toy! I am really glad I bought it for my grandson. Yes, it was a little expensive -- but I guess I should have bought it while it was still being produced. So I have no problem with the price for such a great toy.』 『Name:Ben 10 6 inch Action Figure Manufacturer:Bandai Release Date:Fall 2006 Details (Description):The 6 inch Action Figures have some of the most unique features we've introduced in an action figure. Playing up the DNA elements from the series, DNA slime bubbles ooze out of the figures. In addition to the cool DNA feature, each figure has an additional action function for increased play patterns. Heatblast features a flaming red light-up head, and a chest cavity that is filled with oozing DNA bubbles. The punching action of the hulking Fourarms is rivaled by the DNA bubbles oozing from his massive chest! Diamondhead's features include a light-up head, an arm that shoots missiles, and an arm that is filled with glow in the dark slime.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Ghostfreak Toy) 『I am very fond of this figure as I have been trying to find it for my son since he first saw Ben 10. That is why I bought 2 of him. One to open and one to keep sealed.』 『This four inch figure is based on the character from the Ben 10 Cartoon Network television series.』

They double as building blocks for my 16-month-old, but she does enjoy putting them in the M&D shopping cart, or on the kitchen shelves I emptied for her. They're cute, they're sturdy, and I hope when she's older, they'll provide hours of imaginative play.』
(Fun to play with) 『This food is fun to play with. My daughter loves to play "kitchen". The only drawback is that because it's wood, it's very solid and my daughter was playing with one of the items, dropped it on her toe, and split it (her toe) open where it fell. Now I always have her wear shoes.』
(Educational, good value with potential years of use -- good for both boys and girls) 『My 15 month old daughter and 2-1/2 year old son love this product. I purchased it, in addition to another M&D "wooden food" product, as well as the Kid Kraft vintage kitchen. The kids love to organize (and re-organize) the products, stack them, and cook with them.
I purchased all these toys for my kids, looking for the following characteristics: toys that would last them many years of use (as I said, my kids are 1 and 2 years old); the toys have minimal wear and tear, and are educational, durable, and easy to clean; and they are eco-friendly (wooden toys that I keep for years and do throw away after limited months/years of use). For all the above reasons, they are a great value.
Also, keep the box (with plastic insert) that the product came in: for an additional activity, my son absolutely loves to put the products back in the box. You have to figure out where and how each piece fits back into the plastic insert.』
(Quality over quantity) 『These items sit beautifully in my girls' play kitchen as the plastic and paper versions get crushed, bent, torn, and thrown away. Definitely worth spending the money for fewer pieces. The writing on the products is simple enough that the girls are asking what the labels say, and are starting to "read" them. Since they are solid wood, they are heavy. I initially worried about them falling on toes, getting thrown, etc, but the weight has actually taught them to handle with care, just as we do in our "real" kitchen. I wish I had never bought the 100-piece flimsy set - too many poorly made pieces only clutter the shelves and get in the way of these classic pieces.』
(Love them!!!) 『My daughter just got these from her Aunt MoMo&Uncle Gee (aka Godfather) for her 1st bday. She loves carrying them around with her! Her kitchen should be here this week and these will be fun to play with in the kitchen in addition to her playing with them at her play table...lol :D They really look like the really deal. No plastic at all! They feel like solid wood!』 『This 9-piece wooden set of dry goods includes tuna, ketchup, spaghetti, soup, sugar, crackers, pretzels, mustard and cereal.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Definately a great value!) 『We bought these for our son (4 years old). We weren't sure what to expect, but they are great! Perfect size, colors are good. ALl in all we are pleased with our purchase!』
(Good Purchase!) 『I'd been looking for a set of dinosaurs for my recently turned 2-year-old, who is just getting into "Dinos". All I could find in the stores were either too small (put-in-the-mouth size) or too large to tote around for car/air travel, restaurants, etc. Thank heavens for Amazon! I wasn't sure about ordering sight unseen, but took a chance based on the description and customer reviews. My son and I couldn't be happier! He was so excited to open the package. He couldn't believe how many were in there ("Bunch mommy, bunch Dinos!"). I am very pleased with their sizes and also the durable plastic from which they are made. This was just what I was looking for. And the price is perfect! I would recommend these for any dino-loving toddler.』
(Good mix of Dinosaurs) 『I thought it was a good deal for the price. These where not quite as big as I thought they would be but overall a very good product. Good variety of dinosaurs and my young nephew seemed to enjoy them.』
(Toy gift for grandson) 『Top fits into 3 year old's play very well at this point....triggers imagination and story building.....word development and relationships.....』
(Durable dinosaurs!!!) 『Very good toy to introduce youngsters to dinosaurs. They are very durable, even to biting toddlers and are great for their imaginations. Our son, 19-months old, loves to play with his in the bathtub, but really, can be used anywhere. Good toy for the value too.』 『Set of 12 realistic toy dinosaur figures. Dinos are made from slightly flexible plastic, are hollow inside. Set includes: Ceratosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Triceratops, Styracosaurus.』
