(My dog loves it!) 『I bought the toy for my new pup. He's been chewing and tossing it around for over a week now, so far no damage. I know it's meant for a child, but at the time I was thinking of naming him Snuffleupagus. 』
(Cute and fluffy) 『This is really hard to find in stores and my daughter loves Snuffy. Cute and a nice size.』
(Can't go wrong with Gund) 『I bought this as a Christmas present for a friend's 18-month old baby. He immediately took to the Snuffy and wouldn't go to bed without it. My son was the same way about his "Snuffles" polar bear 20 years ago. He loved the fur off it and has it in his closet to this day. These stuffed animals are washable and as tough as anything I've ever seen. They will go everywhere with your child and be a perfect companion in any adventure.』 『The Gund Sesame Street Snuffleupagus is a definite character that you should have in your house. The Sesame Street Snuffleupagus will have your child laughing with joy as he cuddles with this lovely animal. The soft touch of the Gund Snuffleupagu's material is warming with its beautiful big eyes and redish lips. Allow your child to experience the same great memories you have from Sesame Street with his/her own Gund Sesmae Street Snuffleupagus.』

The addition of Mannheim Steamroller music adds to its uniqueness. I bought a sample of this DVD last year and decided I must have the complete show. Well executed wih a cute story line. Randy Gardner's choreography is amazing.』
(A beautiful Christmas tradition) 『when i saw this on TV the first time i knew i had to own it. its Dorothy at her absolute best. she is a gem in the skating world and she really shines in this production, along with the wonderful cast and my favorite Christmas music. we watch it every holiday season as well as throughout the year. thanks, Chip!』
(igottaview) 『GREAT ALBUM! Not quite as BIG as Trans Siberian but still a keeper!』
(Grand Children Pleaser) 『This was an excellent production and enjoyed by our 8 and 10 year old grand daughters. We previewed the DVD first and then prior to showing it to our grand daughters talked about good and evil in life and that there was good and evil in what they were going to see. We thought the devil looking skaters would bother them.』
(Breathtaking in its cheesiness&lack of taste) 『This definitely has to be near the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Christmas specials, although it seems not to prevent this monstrosity from blighting the airwaves every Christmas season. It is so bad on so many levels --- a typically cheesy good vs. evil Christmas story, mundane "stars on ice" skating, and of course the always godawful music of Mannheim Steamroller. In a day&age when the airwaves are littered with embarrassingly tacky holiday specials, "The Christmas Angel" dexterously combines several dreadful elements which result in a holiday experience which will burn itself onto your memory --- unfortunately --- for all time. If you like this sort of stuff, you may be grateful for this, but if you possess a modicum of good taste, you may want to avoid this like the plague.』 『This tale of good versus evil takes place in a magical land where toys come to life and evil is transformed into good. What makesThe Christmas Angelespecially entertaining is the combination of graceful skating by such well-known talents as Dorothy Hamill and Elvis Stojko and the emotive music of Mannheim Steamroller. The story tells of an evil gargoyle named Gargon (Stojko) who steals the Christmas angel (Tonia Kwiatkowski) from atop a snowy village's Christmas tree, thereby preventing the arrival of Christmas. A young mother (Hamill), along with a host of toys-come-to-life, follows Gargon into the dark otherworld in an attempt to rescue the stolen angel. In the end, the angel is freed along with a host of lost souls and Christmas is saved. Unfortunately, this engaging 45-minute story is given a hokey framing sequence of Olivia Newton-John and Chip Davis posing as parents reading a Christmas story to their children.
The costuming and sets are fun, bright, and absolutely captivating. The skating is spectacular, offering an optimal mix of solo and ensemble performances. Favorite Mannheim Steamroller renditions of classics like "Good King Wenceslas," "Angels We Have Heard on High," and "Greensleeves" add a pathos and drive to the story. DVD special features include a five-minute (minimally informative) interview with composer and narrator Chip Davis, brief textual biographies of the primary skaters, a video clip ofMannheim Steamroller: Christmas Live, and a short, written history of American Gramaphone.--Tami Horiuchi』

Coach is from Indiana and so am I, I still kind of resent him beating my Dayton Flyers in the final game of the NCAA even if it was almost 40 years ago!』
(Outstanding!) 『Coach Wooden is an amazing man. In this one hour video, he generously shares his wisdom, personal philosophy, and principles for living a happy and successful life. And he has a unique ability to connect in a way that is interesting, friendly, motivating, and non-judgmental. After watching and listening to him, I now understand why he became one of the most successful coaches in sports history.
If you want to become a better person, this video of John Wooden has a lot to offer you. I highly recommend it.』

Jim Stevens MPLS, MN』
『Legendary basketball coach John Wooden, who was revered as the "Wizard of Westwood" while guiding UCLA to 10 national championships (including an astounding seven in a row), presents his philosophy for success in life in this intelligently produced video that transcends the world of basketball. After a notable career as a college player at Purdue, Wooden graduated in 1932 and became an English teacher. And his love of literature and his thoughtful nature are very much on display as Wooden, at the age of 90, sits before an intimate audience and presents his "Pyramid of Success." In Wooden's system, attributes such as friendship, initiative, poise, and confidence all build upon each other to create the pinnacle of "great competitive success." Wooden, speaking in a gentle and articulate manner, offers anecdotes from his decades of coaching, and punctuates his lessons with dramatic vintage game clips showing some of the great players he coached. Appearing in interviews to speak of how much they learned from Wooden are Phil Jackson, Bill Walton, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In an age when college basketball coaches are often in the public eye for their atrocious behavior, Wooden's thoughtful manner and gentle humor are all the more remarkable. Besides imparting lessons for ballplayers (and others), this is an insightful look at Wooden's remarkable personality.--Robert J. McNamara』

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.』
(More fun with grandchildren) 『My grand children, boy 3 yrs, girl 1 1/2 yrs, loved this Thomas DVD. I must have watched it with them 50 times and it was enjoyable every time.』
(My little Thomas fan loves this DVD!) 『My little Thomas fan loves any of the Thomas DVD's, no matter how many times he watches them. They are his favorite and I don't think that will change for a very long time. Thomas provides great life lessons like sharing, caring, and friendship. They get a thumbs up from me as well!』
(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!

『Charles Bronson delivers a powerful performance in this riveting story based on actual events.
Bronson portrays Jack Yablonski, the United Mine Workers official who tried to reform his union by challenging its ruthless, corrupt, all-powerful leader. Tony Boyle. In 1969, after a bitter election battle, Yablonski was murdered. This critically-acclaimed film focuses on three different aspects of his death, interweaving underhanded union politics. Yablonski's personal life and a portrait of his assassins.A memorable performance by Bronson combined with Wilford Brimley's chilling, sinister presence as Boyle and Ellen Burstyn's sensitive characterization of Yablonski's devoted wife makes ACT of VENGEANCE a compelling tale of a real-life hero who took a courageous stand and stepped into history.』 タイトル『 ESPN Sports Figures: Makes Math and Physics a Ball! >

The story line is heartwarmingly romantic about two Olympic skaters. One is a Hockey Player and the other is a 'couple figure skater'. And how there paths collide. The comedy is light hearted and but real to the characters being portrayed. You feel thier struggle and share in their truiumph. And laugh with their relationship. It is a feel good movie all the way through.』
(Not for kids) 『I was disappointed. I was hoping for a family movie, but this isn't one. The movie opens with a couple in bed. The guy can't remember the girl's name. Recommended romantic comedy: I.Q.』
(version differences) 『I already owned the plain version of this, released in 2001. The only extra on that version is the original theatrical trailer.
I just bought the "Gold Medal Edition", released 2006, because it was cheap and it had some extras that I didn't have on the other disc. (I haven't watched those extras yet, so I won't be reviewing them here.)
However, I noticed something very interesting. I played them side-by-side, using two computers with identical monitors that are calibrated identically. I noticed several differences in quality. Then I switched the DVDs to the opposite computers and played some of it again to verify that it had nothing to do with the monitors or computer settings.
The Gold Medal Edition runs 1hr:37min:17sec -- 97min, as advertised on the back of the case. The plain 2001 version runs 1:41:24, also as advertised on the back of its cover (it rounds up to 1:42). This doesn't seem to be from a difference in content, though. When playing them side-by-side, starting them off in perfect sync, they quickly become unsynchronized (ironic, considering the content... synchronized skating...). The Gold Medal Edition runs faster than the 2001 version. (The physical DVD itself isn't running faster; it's the way the film was transferred during production of the DVDs.) IMDB claims 1:41 running time (101min), which would suggest the 2001 version is correct; however, I don't know where IMDB got that data -- whether it matches the actual theatrical release or not.
Also, the Gold Medal Edition is _not_ anamorphic. So if you have a 16:9 TV (like an HDTV), unless your DVD player or TV automatically compensates, you'll actually get letterboxing both on the top/bottom AND on the left/right. The 2001 version is anamorphic, so there's a good chance it will look better than the Gold Medal Edition on 16:9 TVs.
Finally, the color balance is different, and the 2001 version looks more correct. One major thing I noticed is that when they're on the ice and/or wearing white, the whites look cleaner, brighter, and more white on the 2001 version. Whites on the Gold Medal Edition look yellow by comparison, and even a tiny bit green.
The picture looks cleaner, brighter, better color-balanced, and just better in general on the 2001 release.
If you can't find another version, the Gold Medal Edition is still ok, and you might want to buy that if you want the extras. But I'd recommend the 2001 version if you can find it, especially if you're picky about quality. The 2001 version has a fairly plain cover, with plum/purple text for the title. The cover doesn't mention anything about any kind of special edition. And the back cover will say "1 hour 42 minutes". (The Gold Medal Edition says "Gold Medal Edition" at the top, has white title text, and says "Approx. 97 Minutes" on the back.)』
(Excellent service) 『DVD came in perfect condition and we have enjoyed it several times already. Thank you.』
(Cutting Edge Review) 『This is a great "light" movie. Lots of comedy and romance. A good movie for a rainy night!』 『As far as ice-skating movies go (or those that prominently feature the cold-bladed sport), this romantic movie is one of the best, thanks to utterly charming performances by underrated actors D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. The couple play, respectively, a washed-up hockey player and a prima-donna skater who end up in doubles figure skating together at the Winter Olympics. Of course, the mismatched pair fall in love. In between, there's a lot of verbal sparring, talk of toe picks, and surprisingly skillful directing by Paul Michael Glaser (Kazaam,The Air Up There). Direction here is critical--unlike inFlashdance, where the dancing was done in the shadows, face and feet obviously shot separately--andThe Cutting Edgecredibly highlights the actors and their professional stand-ins. This is such a fun, sweet story that the facts the film takes liberties with--including the alacrity with which a hockey player takes to Olympic-level figure skating--are easily forgivable.--N.F. Mendoza』 『Moira Kelly (Dangerous Beauty, "The West Wing") and D. B. Sweeney (Roommates, Memphis Belle) star as polar opposites who unite on the ice for a shot at Olympic gold in this inspirational romantic comedy from acclaimed director Paul M. Glaser (The Running Man). Brimming with wit, charm and plenty of breathtaking sports action, The Cutting Edge is a real winner! She's a rich and refined pairs figure skater whose prima donna attitude has her skating solo. He's a brash, blue-collar hockey champion with a new injury and no future. With nothing in common but their dream of reaching the Olympics, Kate and Doug are each other's last resort. Reluctantly, they join forces, but its not long before the barbs ? and sparks ? start flying as the unlikely pair skate towards the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance at a medal...and a chance at love.』

I remember seeing it when I was a teen - and I still enjoyed it now that I am "over 40". It sends a good message also - you can do anything when you set your mind to it&work hard. The love of family&friends goes a long way!』
(Lynn-Holly Johnson Worth Seeing) 『This is far from a believable story: a top ice skater losing her sight and then becoming even a better skater after becoming blind! Hmmm......I don't think so.
However, the girl - "Alexis Winston," played by Lynn-Holly Johnson - is such a beautiful and sweet person that she alone makes the movie worth watching. Johnson was an accomplished skater in her own right, so she makes the skating scenes look realistic.
The bad news was the character, "Beulah Smith," portrayed by Colleen Dewhurst, an annoying butch-like foul-mouthed woman, the opposite of Johnson. Her bad mouth prevents this from being a good family film, which it could have been.Familiar '70s actor Robby Benson plays Johnson's boyfriend, but he's not all that likable, either.
This is mainly Johnson's film......and who's complaining?』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review ('Let down' in Louiseville (bring back the 458!!!!)) 『The Lilyette style # 458 was (past tense) an ENGINEERING MARVEL. The Nobel Peace Prize should be given to it's inventor. I ordered many of them over time and reordered when the old ones wore out, and then one day I saw, "No longer available." I quickly scoured the internet trying to find the last few in a warehouse somewhere, all to no avail. It was the end of an era.
Then I was elated when I saw the #428 in it's place, which even used the exact same photo to advertise. No matter the change in digit, I thought my prayers had been answered and I ordered 18 of the # 428 bras, so as to not have this happen again, as the 428 was the visual identical bra to the former #458.
Well sit down for this bad news: They do look alike, but the 428 is merely a thin and pathetic knock off of the real thing. It lacks several of the crucial interior support pieces that made the #458 function so well, and is a frail one layer cup instead of two, it doesn't lift at all, it barely minimizes, and worst of all, it's so sheer that the nipple shows through all your clothing.. The difference is like going from the real Elvis to an sleazy airport bar impersonator. Lilyette should issue nationwide apologies to us all for trying to pass this thing off as the next best thing. If you're under a B cup, fine, but if you're looking for support, lift, a well made item with longevity, skip the 428 entirely. It may look just the same, even the lacing is unchanged, but if you think you're getting one as good at the #458, you will be grossly 'let down' and sadly disappointed.』
(This bra fits very well.....) 『and I have worn this style for years, I just wish that after a few washings and wears that the straps didn't fold over and cut into my shoulders. I have tried a few other brands and though the straps were more comfy, either the support wasn't very good or my breasts got shoved up into my armpits. Try walking around like that all day long. This, for me, is a great bra, just make the straps wider.』
(...bring back the #458 minimizer!) 『I could no longer find the #458 Lilyette minimizer bra, but the #428 looks similar, so I purchased it thinking it might be similar, and it was a big disappointment. I would say, unless you are going for the "rocks in a sock" look popularized by one of John Belushi's characters on Saturday Night Live, avoid this bra like the plague. Unlike the #458, there is absolutely zero support for the lower half of your breast area so they just hang there without any shaping or support whatsoever. Also if you are a little shy about the outline of the nipple area showing, the fabric of this bra clings like plastic wrap, living nothing to the imagination!』
(Not what I'd hoped. Bring back the 458) 『Although this bra is more comfortable than the Lilyette 458, it isn't as pretty and it doesn't minimize as much as I'd hoped. Lilyette discontinued the 458 which was a GREAT minimizer with prettier detailing and more lace on the cups. This one is much flimsier and my blouses gap open with this one -- the 458 really did a much better job. Bring back the 458 minimizer!! This one just doesn't cut it.』

NO other bra compares. Have it in white and tan, and wear it as my first choice. Needed black as I wear a lot of black tops. Maybe I should have/will purchase(d) an additional one. I've tried a number of others, and this is definitely the best you will find.』
(Best strapless bra I have ever owned) 『This bra is by far the best I have owned, I had given up on strapless bras long ago, being a 36DD, they just aren't made for large chested women. But when a halloween costume required a strapless I decided to give it one more shot, and wow!! I never had to adjust myself all night, it stayed right where it should with no sliding down!! And this was a full night of dancing and fun! Now I can for strapless again! Thanks Amazon for another excellent product!』
(No Good If You Have A Large Chest!) 『I purchased this item to wear with my halloween costume and I have to say I was very disappointed. This product got great reviews but it did not hold my chest. I am a 38 DD and the bra kept falling down I ended up using the detachable strap as a halter and it cut through the back of my neck because my chest needed that much more support. I was very disappointed.』
(Super strapless) 『This is quite an engineering feat for the larger-bosomed, you'll be impressed. Everything in its place, doesn't slip around, and pretty comfortable to boot. Very smooth line under clothes so it works for knit dresses etc., and ran very true to size (very true to my regular Playtex 18-hr size anyway). Comes with removable straps so you get some versatility. I'm subtracting a star because a. it arrived with a couple of weird creases in one cup which I'm hoping will go away over time and b. it sorta flares out oddly at the top, despite fitting nicely everywhere else.』

(Not that interested) 『I bought this giraffe on the suggestion of some parents in my son's playgroup. It was touted as being the best teething toy and that kids love it. I think it held my son's attention for 2 minutes before he tossed it aside in favor of his older toys.』
(little one seems doesn't interesting at it) 『although qulity is good, but it seems my little one doesn't interesting at it.expensive waste. Plus, only wipe wash.』
(I should have bought this sooner but got it for my 10 1/2 month old twins) 『This is really perfect to get for your baby at a younger age than my 10 1/2 month old twins. But since it wasn't expensive and both of my babies could use it, I decided better late than never. They still put everything in their mouths and drool, so it's still great for them.
This is a teether that is good for handling. My babies pick it up and handle it more than the other teethers, and it's rubber unlike all their other teethers. I put this one on top of other toys and it gives them something to do, moving this giraffe around, carrying it around while they crawl, and always putting in their mouths.

Yes, there is a bit of gaging that goes on but like I have seen in other reviews it's no more than with his own fingers. My dislike for the item comes into play only because we have 2 dogs and Sophie looks and sounds like one of thier toys so they are relentlessly persuing the baby when he has the giraffe. It is really annoying and a little dangerous, if any of you have dogs and they go crazy for thier own toys they will do the same for Sophie so buy with the knowledge that you need to guard it with your life as well as your baby when they are using the toy.』 『Sophie the Giraffe, full of discoveries and activities to awaken baby's senses.

Hearing: Her squeaker keeps baby amused, stimulates his hearings, and helps him to understand the link between cause and effect. Taste: Sophie the Giraffe is very flexible and has lots of parts for baby to chew like ears, horns, legs. She is perfect for soothing baby's sore gums when teething and is completely safe. Made of 100% natural rubber and food paint. Touch: Sophie the Giraffe is perfect for baby's small hands. She is very light and her long legs and neck are easy for baby to grip. She is very soft to touch, just like baby's mummy, stimulating soothing physiological and emotional responses.

(CREATE SWEET CHRISTMAS MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME!) 『This is our daughter's very first Christmas and her elf will indeed appear on Thanksgiving Day. Since she is too young to understand we are going to take pictures each morning of her elf in a new location so we can make a book to show her over the years!
The book tells all about the elves and how important they are to Santa. Your child's elf arrives on Thanksgiving and stays until Christmas Eve (when Santa arrives and the elf goes home with him). Each night the elf flies back to Santa to report on your child's behavior ~ the good and the not so good ;) By the time the children awake the next morning the elf has returned! They will have a blast finding their elf in a new location each morning.
There is only one rule: Children cannot touch the elf or it may lose its magic. The elf also can't talk, but rest assured - he (or she!) hears every word. Their elf not only informs Santa of their behavior, but their hopes and dreams too.
I also love the fact that the book has a Christian element to it as it refers to children saying their prayers each night. Don't wait! Start this Christmas tradition this year and start making memories that will last a lifetime.』

And I'm sure Optimus Prime's talking figure uses as many profanities as he did in the movie. Why does Hollywood have to ruin every good childhood memory I have and create bad ones for our children!?...(grumble grumble, stupid Michaely Bay)』
(Get yourself a used G1 Devastator on Ebay instead.) 『Wow. those are some cool construction vehicles. But wait, the vehicles don't transform individually? and that big ugly thing is Devastator? Are you for real, Michael Bay? If Michael Bay hates the original story and characters so much, maybe he should just walk away and let someone else do it.
Please do yourself a favor. Buy Transformers:The Movie from 1985. watch it. then go on ebay and pick up the real Devastator. The Transformers - The Movie (20th Anniversary Special Edition)』
(Devastator is expensive, no doubt, but you get what you pay for.) 『I bought this as a birthday present for my nephew (10 years old), and he absolutely loves Devastator. I can't blame him, either. Everything about Devastor is solid: Construction of the toys, the sound samples (in robot mode), the posibility and playablity of each vehicle, both on their own and when combined together. There's enough room in the mouth (which will open wide when pushing/holding down a button) to stuff smaller autobots in there to meet their maker.
The only knocks against Devastator are the lack of paint details and Mixmaster - the cement mixer. In truck mode, he does not stop making noise. There's some sort of motion/light/vibration sensor on him. A simple touch will send him into a frenzy of noises that gets old fast. Be prepared to set aside about 15 minutes or so removing Devastator from all of those dreaded twist-ties, also.
Overall, a bang up job by Hasbro. Just about anyone with an interest in Transformers will love this monstrosity!』

What We Think
Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor:
The Good: A large, detailed Transformer toy that's six toys in one.
The Challenging: Tough vehicle-to-robot conversion may be too much of a challenge for younger children.
In a Nutshell: A massive Transformers toy that does justice to its movie inspiration; great for young fans and older collectors alike.
Pulling a lever will cause Devastator's "Vortex Grinder" to open and light up. View larger.
At over a foot in height, Devastator is one of the largest Transformers toys ever made. View larger.
Your Own Transformers Experience Staying true to the movie, Devastator is massive, standing well over a foot in height and dwarfing most other Transformers toys. He is a solid, heavy, and well-built toy. Pulling a lever on his chest causes his mouth (called the Vortex Grinder) to light up with bright, neon-green LED lights. The lever also triggers battle sounds and quotes taken straight from the movie.
Devastator isn't the most flexible toy around. Because of his size, he can be a bit cumbersome to play with. However, his elbows and knees are articulated, which makes him easier to position and balance. He also has realistic details, which gives him value as a collector's replica.
Devastator consists of six smaller construction vehicles: the Constructicons. These detailed vehicles are painted in earthy colors suited for their rough construction jobs. Together, the Constructicons form a complete construction team. There is a bulldozer, a dump truck, an excavator, a scoop loader, a mixer and a crawler crane. They prove to be very maneuverable on a hard surface, able to make hairpin turns easily. However, it should be noted that, unlike their film counterparts, these vehicles do not transform into robots individually.
An Enjoyable, Challenging Assembly Devastator might be one of the biggest transformers around, but it's also one of the most difficult to put together. Parents should be aware that the Devastator requires some degree of finesse to assemble -- and in some cases, strength. Some of the snapping parts are especially tricky to connect together, and prove difficult to pry apart. The toy is labeled as a Level 4 conversion, so younger children will have difficulty converting the toy by themselves. It took our tester (an experienced Transformer player) nearly 15 minutes to figure everything out. Still, putting the toy together should provide a constructive challenge for older kids.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great product as long as your cat isn't too chunky) 『I'm experimenting with getting my cats used to this harness, in preparation for summer walks. (Collars just don't cut it for the little Houdinis.) First, the bad news: while it fits my 11 pounder (small chest, big butt) just fine, the 14 pounder (height-weight proportionate) is uncomfortable in it. As recommended by others, he's getting the small dog model.
Other thoughts: - I'd be very surprised if my cat could wriggle out of it. - The cat seems OK with wearing the harness. Not happy. But willing to live with it. - It looks nice. - The clip is a little small. My cats are shorthairs, and I'm pretty dextrous, but fastening the clip when it's in a mound of tummy fur is kind of a pain.』
(I'll have to be different here, my cat hates it) 『It is relatively easy to adjust, allowing for a wiggly cat, and easy to put on if it's adjusted to larger than the minimum size, which is what I was looking for as my cat really struggles with putting on a regular harness. It would get five stars if this was all I had to say, but then people who need to see this review might miss it.
I think the problem is that my cat is too small for it. As I mentioned, she doesn't like having a regular harness put on, but once it's on she seems to forget it's there. With this harness she lies down on the spot as if she's too heavy to move; she doesn't jump around and play like she normally would. She just barely has an 8" neck and 12" chest, so I believe the plastic pad lying well over both her shoulder blades is uncomfortable to her.
I am also unable to adjust it as small as it really needs to be because the smaller sized neck that can go with a 12" chest does not appear to be accounted for.
My cat's small size makes it difficult to put the harness on if it's adjusted as small as it can go because the head loop is then too small to pull over her head either direction, but still too big for her neck. Having to adjust and readjust each time I put it on defeats my purpose in purchasing this model, since she again struggles during the adjustment.
Basically, if your cat just meets the minimum size requirement listed, wait until s/he grows a bit for this harness, perhaps until s/he has a 14" chest, or look at a different harness. I'm still looking for something that will work well for my cat (who is admittedly unusually small).』
(Nice harness, easy to get on cat) 『This is a great harness and is so easy to put on your cat -- just slip the smaller loop (the one without the buckle) over your cat's head, and then clasp the other loop behind their front legs/around their tummy. The flat plastic connector (the thing in the middle that looks like a black Pringle chip) sits on top of their shoulderblades. Besides being fully adjustable, which is awesome, the best feature of this harness is the swiveling ring -- so your leash never gets tangled or twisted, no matter which way your cat might turn.
Our 6-month-old cat (5.5 lbs) just barely fits into this harness (as in, it's almost too big for her), so it's probably not for smaller cats. She's not sure she likes it yet and rolls around on the ground once in a while to try to get it off. While she's wearing it, I give her treats and we play with her favorite toys in hopes that she'll start associating the harness with happy feelings. I'm confident that she'll acclimate to the harness and we'll be walking her in no time!』
(AWESOME) 『Great product for price, cat loved it. Easy to use, easy to get home, she found it very comfy.』
(cat likes it) 『My cat, whose legs wouldn't work with other harnesses, is pretty happy with this one. She occasionally rolls over trying to remove it, but generally ignores it. It doesn't choke her when she tries to catch a rabbit, either.
I find it easier to put on her, too.』 『Product Highlight(s):The Size Right cat harness is completely adjustable.This figure-8 style harness allows the neck and girth to be perfectly sizedAllows the feline to move freely without the lead tangling under its legsSimple to use12-18 inch girthThe Size Right cat harness is completely adjustable.

(Good for Building Confidence, but Result Doesn't Approach Realism) 『This is a step-by-step guide to drawing very simple representations of different kinds of people: giants, workers, an angel, a ballerina. The instructions are very easy to follow, and the youngest artists will be gratified by their ability to imitate the pictures in the book. The book's main limitation is that the resulting pictures do not approach realism.

That's because God often calls us to attempt things we can't do, humanly speaking. Mark captures a beautiful truth in his inspiring, motivating style: people who play it safe don't make history (His-Story). Lion chasers make history because they know their God is bigger than their lions. Thank you Mark for this life-changing book. I think I'll read it every year just to keep a right perspective on my God of impossibilities!』

(In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day) 『Whether you are a fan of Christian novels or prefer to read non-fiction literature this book is for you. The title itself leads you to believe you will be reading a story centered on an adventure with a lion that would probably not turn out very well. After all, what author would title a book, "In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day?" This book is one of the most positive, thought provoking books I have read in a long time. It will challenge you to put God in perspective in your life and to get out of your seat and do things you may not have been willing or felt able to do before. The book is full of scriptural verses as well as quotes from other authors enlightening us to be the best Christian we can be. It is not a "feel good" book such as "Your Best Life Yet" by Joel Osteen but if you follow what the author is telling you to do you will recognize your own potential and seize the moment to the point that you will "feel good" naturally. I do not want to tell you much about the story because I feel each Christian should read it for themselves. What I will tell you is that the book begins with 2 Samuel 23:20-21, with Benaiah son of Jehoiada. Just a couple of points Mark Batterson makes in this book is: "Someday we may be as grateful for the bad things as the good things, because the bad things helped prepare us for the good things," and "We shuld stop asking God to get us out of difficult circumstances and start asking Him what He wants us to get out of those difficult circumstances.』
(Really good, but a little repetative) 『Great book, but in my opinion not as good as Wild Goose Chase. By the end, I felt like I was reading the same thing over again. Worth a read, but if you're only going to read one, I would recommend Wild Goose Chase.』
(Helpful and Godly Perspectives for Life Challenges) 『Mark Batterson's first book, "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day," is one of the best books I have every read. Mark was 36 years old when he wrote this book in 2006, but he expresses wisdom that is far beyond his years. His wisdom is extremely practical. His understanding of life and its challenges is solidly based on extensive reading of diverse subject areas. Mark mentions that all "ologies" are a subset of theology. As a result of his extensive reading, he is able to draw interesting parallels from science that help to understand real life situations. If you are looking for a source of practical inspiration for life and its tests, you need to read "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day."
Mark has written two other books: "ID: The True You" and "Wild Goose Chase." I have read both of these books and thoroughly enjoyed the concepts he presents in each one.』 『Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase.

I got this for my 11 year old daughter and she had lots of fun with it except when she got to the "State Competition". SHe got very frustrated and couldn't move on because her score wasn't high enough. She's been playing over and over again and is very annoyed with the game. It's cute but the graphics really need to be worked on. Overall I would only buy this game for patient people. .』
(How about some skating?) 『I have always wondered how they would create a figure skating game. How to manuever the jumps and make it interactive with some sort of skill or ability on the player. The developers have designed an interesting tool of tracing patterns, once for each revolution, in order to complete jumps and various other stylus manuevers for spins and footwork. So i was very pleased with that. Then, they felt the need to add a storyline and a very annoying series of mini-games to strengthen your skater. You end up "skating" very little while fulfilling the requirements of your coach. You also don't have a freezone to practice manuevers and thus some can be tricky during competitions with only one run through to master say a jump combination, something you don't practice.
The townsfolk become an annoying chore to talk to with bizarre romance things and other storylines that run without your control but you have to acknowlege the dialogue or you cannot advance. The skating is fun. I just wish there was more of it. I thought what better way for a skater to strenthen their performances than to practice skating but apparently I don't understand the appeal of the mini-game. Perhaps, they'll do another one with more skating/more sport-oriented and less life-ish. For the first figure skating game that i've found, it has good potential to build on.』
(Cool game) 『Imagine: Figure Skater is a fun game for when you're bored and want to play something simple. But it gets addicting and you might not want to stop. The gameplay is nice, but does tend to get more difficult as you progress through the game. The game looks like a visual novel, and if you're into those you might like it for its anime looking characters. There's a nice, simple story to it. All in all, it is a very fun game.』
(Fun, then boring and hard) 『Ok, at first it is fun; skating with coach, talking to friends, and playing the fun mini games. It has kind of dull and annoying music but it's not unbearable. Also, the story-line is a bit cheesy. It is dumb becasue it won't let you do anything in your life but what is programed for you and the people talk too much. The expressions are silly, ex. when falling OOH!, and before jumps and spins, Here We Go! The graphics have some room for improvement and the accessories for the girl are wild, ex. bunny rabbit tail and devil horns and angel halo. Although, the choices of music the skater can use for her programs are nice. In fact, I looked up one of the songs on iTunes to purchase so I could use it in teh future for my program since I am a real skater. The cpstumes are generally pretty and elegant. As a real figure skater, the jumps and especially spins are inaccurate. It makes me frusterated because we, as skaters, want tpo play a game about our sport and it isn't realistic... When you reach a certain "level" as a skater, it gets frusterating and pointless. When you fall on really hard elements people boo and then you have to start that level over again. The people in your "life" make you have sore feelings and the only way to start the competion over is by turning the NDS completely off. I can only bet younger gamers would use anger and force, maybe hitting the game, or, like myself just putting the game away and ignoring it. So... it's fun, I must say. But then, when you reach a certain point, it isn't worth the money.』 『Figure Skateris part of Ubisoft's Imagine video game series, the first-ever brand developed to appeal to girls age 6-14, which will continue to grow as part of the company's long-term vision for casual gaming.As the fifth game in the series to be released,Figure Skaterallows young girls to immerse themselves in a fantasy world to twirls, jumps, music, fashion and fun competition as they expand their creativity while designing costumes, choreographing routines and preparing for the ultimate figure skating competition.Features
