Every song sounds like the last one and the drum beat sounds the same all throughout the whole album. Hardcore fans will probably enjoy the album, but if you're into metal (death or black), you probably won't give this album more than 3 or 4 listens.』
(pretty cool) 『I read the lyrics before I listened and thought, "wow, these guys now how to write good lyrics!" Very thought-provoking!
The music is awesome, though it is missing a guitar solo or two. But that's cool. Heavy, fast, double-kick to knock your ear drums out. Reminds me of when I was eighteen (ages ago) and wishing that all of Metallica's songs were like Battery! Only these guys (and one chick) are loads heavier, and their knack for rhythm is greatly appreciated by me (I'm a drummer/guitarist).
The only down-side is that the songs are all in the same key, so it seems repetitive, but the lyrics and hardness make up for it!!!!』
(Pick it up.) 『As I listened to this album at work today several things went through my mind. I wondered why so many people aren't into this band, why they're not huge, and what separates this record from other records (like terror's lowest of the low) that got HUGE but sound almost exactly the same. Honestly if anything, this record is technical hardcore at it's best. Truly. I guess it all boils down to the same old scene bs: kids hate on bands because they can, because the lyrical content doesn't revolve around the dropping of the f bomb between every other word. Or because they are a religious oriented band. I don't know much about this current christian "hate" trend in hardcore, but i do know this: I care about lyrical content. I'm not edge, but I appreciate edge music...and in this same vein...I'm not christian, but I appreciate a positive message.
Who doesn't?
I could be way off. All I know is when I listen to the new comeback kid record, every time I hear the background vocals (tracks 5,9) I want to listen to this record instead. I'm going out on a limb here to say that anyone who hates on this album and claims to be scene needs to get their priorities checked. The production is excellent. Every track is tight. Though I thorougly enjoyed all previous albums, I feel this is their best work.
It's simply terrible this band doesn't get more recognition.』
(Pure Hardcore Mayhem.) 『This Music is so hard it will make your ears bleed. Hard as nails vocals along with the most insane breakdowns I have ever heard this album is gaurenteed to have you floor punching and windmill kicking. They have two other records that were released on Facedown Records and all three are worth owning.』
(straight up awesome) 『figure four has been around for quite a while. this is one of the best straight up hardcore cds ive heard in a long time. if you like hoods, hatebreed, any band like that, get this. i got it right when it came out, but just now got to the review. the singer (andrew) plays guitar for comeback kid now and this band has been put on the back burned. he needs to get to figure four again and make another great cd with them』

(More Classic Blues Rock from Texas) 『You have to wonder what they put in the water in Texas, as so many unbelievable Blues Rock guitarists came from that State. Freddie King, Johnny Winter, Billy Gibbons, Stevie Ray, Doyle Bramhall, Ian Moore, Chris Duarte, David Grissom, Jay Hooks, Joe Kubek,Chris Anderson, Albert Cummings, Shane Henry, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the list goes on and on. You can include Alan Haynes and Jim Suhler. Unlike the majority of reviewers so far, I prefer the dirtier Slide Blues of Jim Suhler, and not surprisingly my favourite songs are the Suhler led 'Down and out in Texas' and 'Too poor to die', but 'Knocking at your door', sung by Haynes is totally awesome too. Nothing but great Rocking Blues and a fitting 'Are you experienced' to close the disc. Highly recommended.』
(Alan Haynes is the most impressive guitarist I've heard live) 『Why doesn't Amazon have Alan Hayne's"Live at the Big Easy"album? I want to hear him by himself! I was in Austin for a conference, and accidentally wandered into Joe's Generic Bar on 6th Street, and was totally blown away by Alan Haynes! Apparently, he's better known in Europe than in his home country (the U.S.), and that's a real shame for us. I can't ever remember being so impressed, and I would have been just as impressed if he had been playing Carnegie Hall, and I had paid $50 for tickets.』
(Not Much Better Than This) 『Jim Suhler is good but Alan Haynes is great!... Check out the Red Guitar he has, it was Stevie Ray's on the Albert King Record- IN Sessions. Alan has been playing since he was 8 years old and is tremendous. Buy this CD and go check him out at Joe's Generic Bar on 6th Street in Austin (every tuesday night!). He will rock your world!!』

Very moving nontheless. Not only is Karajan a great performer; John Paul is pretty impressive, too!』
(Superb Mozart performance) 『Musically this DVD is of superb quality. Von Karajan's conducting is - as usual - fantastic; the vocals are strong and without the shrill whine that passes for singing in too many performances these days (why do modern composers feel the need to use choirs composed mainly of squeaky voiced pre teens); the Orchestra is in great form; and the photography is very well done. Catholics will probably have no problem in following the Mass and relating it to the music, but people unfamiliar with the Catholic Eucharist will find themselves lost at time. The written notes on the performance are useless and I suggest that sacred music specialists will find reading Nel's article on Mozart's Coronation Mass much more useful.』

After I purchased it and reviewed it, I saw it on the Internet for $10.00 cheaper. I learned that Amazon does not always have the best deal. I feel like I wasted $30.』
(Very Good Analysis) 『Despite a few errors based on how Jesus was actually nailed through the wrists, not the hands, the movie is very interesting and gives a good feel for the real pain that Christ undertook. More people should now about the medical facts which make Jesus' death inevitable, and his empty tomb and linens, a revelation to new life in Him.』
(Everyone should see this film) 『Even devout Christians become somewhat innoculated against the reality of the crucifixion. This powerful film is a great antidote. It reminds us of what we know, and offers convincing scientific evidence we may have been unaware of. I have used it in ministry, and have found it to be a powerful tool in reaching the unchurched with the seriousness of the Gospel message, and in jump-starting the faith of practicing Christians. Part of the success of the film is its use of great art to depict the events of the Passion rather than using actors, who necessarily fall short in portraying a suffering God. The emotional impact is heightened, not lessened, thereby.』
(disappointed) 『The video was too technical. I expected a re-enactment of what Jesus' experience may have been during the last 18-hours leading to his death and then resurrection, but what I saw instead was a bunch of medical interpretations of what was happening to him physically. I know that he suffered immensely for our sins and for that I am thankful. Because of him their is hope of eternal life for mankind. I would have liked to see a storyline and not a bunch of medical supposition. I was truly disappointed.』
(How Jesus Died: the final 18 hours) 『This is the only medical analysis on the likely cause death of Christ I have seen in video tape form.』 『The first ever full-length video feature presenting the comprehensive medical, forensic and historical facts of Roman Terrorification and the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Courtroom Murder Mysteries) 『The "Perry Mason" novels were a form of mystery stories where the lawyer is the detective and the solution occurs in a courtroom. A real life court trial is not as dramatic. Erle Stanley Gardner often educated his readers with new technology or medical-legal facts, and warned of swindles. The TV shows were simplified and modified versions from the originals, or new stories. Some may criticize the tactics of Perry Mason but they represent life before the modern legal rules of the 1960s. The prices, automobiles, and monetary figures date these stories. They record the styles and culture of the 1950s. The many character actors who look like ordinary people enrich these stories, their emotions are often read from their facial expressions. [These original stories have themes from Gardner's novels.]
"The Case of the Fancy Figures" begins when a man parks a Thunderbird by the Hyett office building in front of a "Do Not Park" sign. [Symbolism.] Charles Brewster is accused of being the embezzler for which another man ,Martin Ellis, was convicted. "Very interesting." Were others involved? Valery Brewster loves her drinks. "I can stop anytime." [Charles is a louse.] Carol Ellis gets a small package of 16mm microfilm, she visits Perry Mason, who calls D.A. Burger. There is a view of San Quentin, Perry visits Martin Ellis. Mr Squires from the Insurance and Bonding company wants to recover the lost money. Brewster offers a deal to get out of jail, but Squires isn't fooled. Jonathan Hyett calls to report a suicide! Does he touch anything? Lt. Tragg investigates, the doorman identifies a visitor from a photograph. Perry will defend Martin Ellis, who visited Brewster and fought with him. Who sent $5,000 to Perry? Who typed that note? Mr. Squires visits Perry's office and explains the deal. Who sent all that money? They identified the typewriter. The Hearing begins, Lt. Tragg testifies on the facts. Jonathan tells what he did at Brewster's apartment, Perry questions him. Who was he protecting? Can a wife testify against her husband? Perry and Paul investigate the new developments. Carol Ellis testifies about the new facts. Then Valery Brewster tells what she witnessed. Perry gets an admission from another witness, this will clear his client. The last scene explains the solution.
"The Case of the Singular Double" begins at an airport parking lot. An anxious young woman leaves with a suitcase, she puts it into a car then makes a telephone call. Lucy Stevens wants to quit her job. Another woman transports that suitcase. What is the problem? Can a campaign contribution result in a zoning change that is favorable to a developer? Lucy drives a 1950 Chevrolet to the dock. [No throttle control?] Will she disappear? Carole Morgan visits Perry Mason about the missing Lucy. Paul Drake investigates the backgrounds of Lucy, and Carole Morgan too. Lt. Tragg arrives when that car is lifted from the sea. A woman's body is in the car! Mr. Burnett identifies the body as Lucy Stevens. Perry questions Carole Morgan to get the truth. Whose body was in the car? Perry visits Burnett to ask questions. Perry visits Whitney Locke to ask questions about Burnett, but he knows nothing. Perry gets a name of a woman, Lucy is arrested for the murder of Marjory Ralston. When the Hearing begins Burnett tells about sending Lucy to deliver money to a parked car. Locke needs campaign contributions to run for office. Lt. Tragg tells whose body was found. Where was Burnett at the time of the murder? [The detail about noise on the line is dated.] Perry recalls two witnesses. One admits to lying to the police. The other tells about his policies. Perry asks about the delivery of the money. Objection sustained. The D.A. calls another witness. This leads to a surprising statement by a witness that frees Perry's client. The last scene ties up the loose ends. 』 『Airdates December 13, 1958 and October 8, 1960』

The only real issue I have is that I hadn't figured on how creepy it is at night for the room to be bathed in a blood red glow. Decide if that will bother your child before you purchase this lamp. Also since the lamp is so light-weight, be careful where you run the cord. Ours ends up getting bumped or pulled to the floor quite a bit.』
(Wonderful Nightlight!!!) 『I purchased this lamp in July of 2006 for my son's 4th birthday. We have used it every night since then. The switch is easy enough for him to turn on and off by himself. The lamp does not get hot even when it is left on for 24 hours straight. It radiates just the right amount of light for a small/moderate bedroom. My little one enjoys looking at the pattern of red lights on the walls and ceiling formed by the fused plastic "beads". I would definitely recommend this lamp to anyone who would be interested.

It talks about what was happening at the time and the mood of the nation, but best of all it gives the response from the opposing team, the russians! Nobody was supposed to beat these guys. A must have movie for any sports fan.』
(Great footage!) 『wonderful to see actual footage of a game I missed that lifted the spirits of all of us. The only way this video could have been better would have been to include the entire game with the Soviets as well as the others. Might be nice, too, to have the films of the 1960 team, our first gold medal in hockey.
Much better than the movie with Kurt Russell. Seeing, hearing Herb Brooks, Mike Eruzionne, et al was extraordinary. I continue to watch and never fail to get goose bumps.』
(Excellent documentary) 『I ordred this DVD for my husband who attended the 1980 U.S Hockey game. The DVD came packaged in great shape and we have had no problems with it. It's informative and an excellent documentary.』 『You don't need to know anything about hockey to be moved by this hourlong documentary about one of the greatest upsets in sports history: the United States' defeat of the vaunted Russian Olympic hockey team at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The film recounts the David vs. Goliath matchup between the Americans (essentially a group of college kids molded into a team by coach Herb Brooks, also the U.S. hockey coach in the 2002 Olympic games) and the Russians, professionals who had won four straight Olympic golds. The story is retold in interviews with the people who lived it, including Brooks and several of the American players, sportscaster Al Michaels (who uttered the title line as the game ended), and key Russian players.Do You Believe in Miracles?is a solid blend of sports and history that focuses on the human element in one of the great underdog victories of all time.--Marshall Fine』 『In february of 1980 the u.S.

(A whole lotta wax) 『This movie is not an exact remake of Mystery Of The Wax Museum (1933) and House Of Wax (1953). It is a movie that has a different but mildly similar story. Whereas the 1933 and 1953 movies took place in a big city, this 2005 movie takes place in a very small and remote town in Louisiana. There ARE some similarities to the 1933 and 1953 flicks, but the similarities are loose at best. I have to wonder why they titled the movie House Of Wax, which is the same title as the 1953 movie. Maybe it was name recognition to get people in the door at the movie theater.
To me, this movie is a cross between The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Friday The 13th movies. Right from the beginning of the movie it had The Texas Chainsaw Massacre feel to it, then the Friday The 13th feel kicked in a short time later. Much like these movies (and so many slasher horror movies including Halloween), House Of Wax features a group of teenagers or twenty-somethings who are partying and just trying to have a good time, whether its at a campground, a neighborhood, or wherever. Then somewhere along the way they run into trouble and a killer stalks them. In this movie, six college friends have their car break down in a remote area. They had been on their way to a football game. They discover a small town when they are looking for help. On the way to this small town, two of them catch a ride with a creepy, mentally sick stranger. I have no clue why these people would trust a creepy stranger like the one in this movie, or any stranger. You gotta see him to know what I'm talking about. In town there is a museum called House Of Wax. This building is literally made of wax - the walls, floors, everything. Inside are wax mannequins. To sum up the plot, the kids run into not one but two wax sculpting killers who are brothers. There is lots of blood and gore. The goal of the killers is to make wax sculptures out of the captured kids (much like in the 1933 and 1953 movies). The kids try desperately to escape the museum and the town unscathed. Four of the kids are killed off. The ending is over-the-top and memorable. This movie has lots of good special effects and props.
This movie stars the attractive Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt, Paris Hilton, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams, and Robert Ri'Chard. The musical score by John Ottman is pretty good. There are a couple of "current" type of heavy rock songs in this movie that will someday date this movie.
Paris Hilton has a lesser role in this movie compared to some of the other actors. In my opinion, she did a pretty good job acting. I must say I'm surprised to see the overall rating of this movie at 3 1/2 stars after 266 reviews. I thought it would be higher. After reading a lot of the lower rated reviews it is clear that a lot of people dislike Paris Hilton. It goes beyond acting ability, which some people question, while others praise it. I think a lot of it has to do with pure jealousy, unfortunately. She's young, rich, and famous. Again, she doesn't have a huge role in this movie. But she's in this movie, bottom line, and a lot of people don't like that. She probably was put in to sell movie tickets and give the movie a boost. Personally, I forget about who she is and judge her acting ability and the character she played, which I thought passed the test. In real life she comes across as a stereotypical blonde bimbo. People can't see past that. It doesn't help that in this movie she has a striptease scene that really sticks out like a sore thumb compared to what the other actors are doing. It almost felt to me like her striptease scene was put in the movie as a sort of self-promotion. Back in 2005 she was the hottest name out there and a tabloid story every day it seemed (and still pretty much is). I've read lots of reviews where people love the fact and are gleeful that she was killed off in this movie. Some of it could be because they disliked the character she played, but some of it could be just because she's Paris Hilton.
This DVD comes with many extras, including a B-Roll and Bloopers Video Cast Commentary, an on location segment about the design of the House Of Wax, the visual effects, an alternate opening, a gag reel, and the theatrical trailer.
If you want to see a unique and creepy horror movie thriller, then I recommend this movie. This movie is better than I thought it would be. You might agree with me. And keep an open mind when it comes to Paris Hilton.』
(I'm a HUGE fan of Paris Hilton) 『I bought this movie because Paris Hilton was in it. I'm a huge fan of Paris Hilton. This movie was amazing but as much as I love Paris, her death scene was amazingly cool. Yeah it would suck to have a pole thrown through your head but something about it was good. Paris had amazingly good acting, even my step-mom was taken by surprise. I've been a fan of Paris Hilton since day 1 and I own everything she has came out with. My room is decked with Paris Hilton stuff. Overall, the movie was good, kind of gross at parts but you'll enjoy it!!』
(Mixed bag) 『House of Wax certainly had an original idea. Even though there was already a Wax movie (made over 50 years ago) this movie was still very entertaining. It had enough gore and twistedness to make it interesting. Even though I like horror movies, some parts of this movie were hard for me to look at (a good mark of a horror movie)
I didn't understand why the wax couldn't simply have peeled off Wade's skin instead of taking his skin along with it. Poor guy, he deserved better.
There were a few things about the movie that just didn't work. The scene where Paris Hilton was stripping for her boyfriend went on too long - it was clearly fanservice so boys could ogle her - but she did a decent job trying to fight Vincent off. I found the idea of a literal house of wax to be silly. Over time the floors would sag, the walls would bow, etc. (that's a lot of wax!) And the very ending with the revelation of a third child was just cheesy. I suppose it meant we can look forward to a sequel of this...
Overall a decent horror movie, most of it was good and creepy and I would have given it a higher rating if not for the bad things that I pointed out.』
(house of wax) 『very good movie great cast good special effects and you get to see paris hilton impailed through the eye socket most definatly worth your money』 『You know the one about the group of horny kids who get offed one by one? Yeah, so do director Jaume Collet-Serra and his screenwriters, who have updated an old Vincent Price flick and sandwiched it between hearty slices ofThe Blair Witch Projectand variousFriday the 13thfilms. Lots of WB and Fox network hotties--including24's Elisha Cuthbert,One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray, and, well, Paris Hilton--have car trouble and stumble onto a town populated by real killer personalities. The R-rated result is fairly gruesome and, though no one ever quite looks frightened enough, Collet-Serra knows his way around a jolting suspense sequence or two. Cuthbert and an unintentionally funny Murray (striking ludicrous poses as some kind of real toughie) act more like angry ex-lovers than the fraternal twins they're supposed to be; Hilton acts bored while her real-life video scandal is exploited for ironic kicks; and the film heads shamelessly over-the-top with each new twist. As an exercise in bloody mayhem, it has a few novel touches, but you can easily find better scares.--Steve Wiecking』 『House of Wax tells the story of a group of friends who fall prey to a sinister plot while passing through a small town on their way to a college football game.Running Time: 113 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR UPC: 085393894528』

At first, I thought this DVD (given the date of release) was only those buzzer-beaters from before the date of release. But to find the more recent buzzer-beaters on the disk as a bonus feature, as well as the amazing comeback from T-Mac against the Spurs (the final 2:35 that show how bad the Rockets were going, their miraculous comeback and the brilliance of McGrady) made this a complete experience for me. Buy it!!!』
(Furious Finishes DVD: A Very Good Buy) 『I am the owner of a lot of basketball DVDs and this is one of my favorites. It is a collection of historic performances and incredible highlights; the bonus features are also entertaining. McGrady's 4th quarter exhibition was one of the top 5 highlights of the 2004-2005 season. Of course the Bulls, Lakers, and Celtics take part on this disc, but the playoff flashbacks serve as great nostalgia. If you are a basketball fan, this is definitely the DVD for you.

(Crazy Buzzer Beaters...Nick Van Exel Finishes are the BEST!!) 『First of all i gotta give credit to Warner Home Video for releasing this DVD. This DVD is packed with good buzzer beaters. Also, watching all those highlights it's really exciting because now in days in the NBA you don't see exciting plays like those. When MJ, Magic, Bird, Barkley, Isiah, Dominic, Drexler, etc. were playing that's when the NBA was exciting. Now you have all these young players getting money for nothing. In the early 90s there were competition, now in days is all about money. Well, back to the DVD, i gotta agree with a Reviewer name Daniel in the part that he stated that the T-Mac's plays were like 5 mins long. But overall, i recommend this DVD, i enjoyed it.』
(Not too bad!) 『This dvd'd ok. It has the original program in it, and some new features. Although I was a bit dissapointed as the new features, only included about 10 mins of extra buzzer beaters, and the T.Mac ending goes for like 5 mins, and the quality isnt that great!』
(Simply amazing! Furious finishes and more adrenalina) 『On this DVD there is a more complete edition than old one (VHS of 1996). There are two bonus features:
- T-Mac unbeliavable threes Vs San Antonio in its entirety with TNT broadcast - "More finishes": it's a bonus video with other incredible finishes with player of new NBA era like Derek Fisher, Wade, Kobe, A.I. , Shaq, Jason Kid, Garnett, Carter, Pierce, Walker, and many others.
Old video is also exciting, there are many stories of 90s like the great upset of houston rockets against orlando in '94 finals with 20 point of margin and the escalation of threes by Smith, a Bird story about injury and the game Vs Indiana. There's a part for MJ and his return to the NBA with his buzzers and many other stories.
What about the music? Yeah! Right music for the right moment. This DVD is amazing. While you watch buzzers you can feel the tension of the moments and after the shoot...the energy of crowd explodes; adrenalina raise up since the beginning of buzzers.

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.』
(Very Comfortable Gown) 『I am a very large woman. This gown is not only nice and light and cool but very comfortable and the sizing is a little large so it is very comfortable to wear. I would definitely order this again.』 『This short nightgown from Vanity Fair is a classic.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (I hate that it has only 2 hooks and a narrow back that dents my fat) 『I have the 34DD. it needs 3 hooks in back like the 36DD has. It's so stupid that it has only 2 hooks! I had the 36DD but recently found out my bra size is really 34DD, so I ordered it in 34DD and SURPRISE! It has only 2 hooks. It's a great bra, great shape, great support, but not with 2 hooks. With 3!』
(Amazing bra!) 『I wear a 36DD and good bras are so hard to find. This one is incredibly comfortable and nothing pops out or hangs over. The smooth cups go under even my silk blouses without showing. I'm on line to order more colors. This is worth every penny. Buy 2 or 3!』

(Love this Bra!) 『Finally a bra that I can wear comfortably all day long. Being a larger sized women (40D), I had always had difficulty finding good bras in my size. I found this bra at a retail store. I loved it. But when I went back to buy more they no longer carried it. So instead of driving around trying to find them, I went online. I bought 4 more and I am about to buy another right now. Don't hesitate to buy...this is the best bra I ever owned!』
(Love them) 『I was pleasantly surprised at the fit of these bras. Sure saved alot of time and money not having to shop for them. I had found one months ago at a discount store and loved it. So instead of running back to the big city and spending all day and gas money, I tried ordering the same ones and they are great. I hate shopping for bras.』

If you don't smile or laugh then you must be a grouch. My grandaughter will absolutely adore this one as well as everyone else. 10 stars for laughter and durability..:) :)』
(Fun interactive toy) 『After you get past all the safety latches on the elmo live encore you will be amazed at how life like they have made elmo in comparison to some of the other versions(rock n roll elmo and limbo elmo come to mind). One thing that I consider negative is that his speaking/singing/instrumental voice is loud. For a toy that doesn't travel, and is meant to be watched, and poked it doesn't seem an appropriate volume. I would hate for someone to scream a short story at me. Second, his body is kind of hard plastic so he is not snuggable, I would have thought that they would have fixed that from the first version, but I guess they didn't have enough time to add some stuffing. A suggestion would be to add some clothes to him, maybe an infant coat, if you want to snuggle with him. Although his jokes aren't funny, the fact that he has crickets chirping and then laughs at himself is definitely funny. This toy is just entertaining, and it doesn't need to be anything else. I can't see anyone learning anything from it, maybe if he had interactive question answer that would be more helpful, but when they create that it probably wont be worth the price they want to charge. The mechanism is quieter than the first version, or else they just raised the volume on the speaker, but either way it is less noticeable. All in all I think it is a great toy if you can get it at a discount, not worth the original price. We purchased it for forty nine ninety nine, and I can live with that.』
(AN ELMO TOY ADULTS CAN LOVE) 『This is one amazing toy. I'm not sure of the exact height. I forgot to read that part, but my guess is 18 to 20 inches. So to little toddlers it will appear to be playmate size. The only reason I even know about this toy is because my 5 year old niece has one and I saw a demonstration. It is a very life-like animated entertainer. He tells stories, sings songs, sits on a provided stool, crosses his legs, mouth moves in sync with talking and singing. If you knock him over he'll say something like "Oops! Elmo fell down" and when you pick him up he says "You're my best friend". Build a little stage. Gather the little ones together. Elmo will provide a wonderful show. I think it takes about 10 minutes for Elmo to go through his whole routine. I'm considering buying one for myself.』 『In this truly life-like creation, for the first time ever, Elmo seems to actually be speaking as his mouth opens and closes just like the real muppet, Elmo, from Sesame Street. His mannerisms are right on target as his head moves back and forth as he speaks. He waves his arms, sits and stands, even crosses his legs all the while telling stories and jokes, singing songs and playing games. Children can activate the magic with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmos foot, tummy, back or nose. Approx. 12"H. Includes 6 "AA" (LR6) alkaline batteries.Item#: N4673

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (The tops of figure sculpting!) 『Highly recommended for people looking to get into figure work. I picked it up mostly to supplement my special effects studies to understand sculpting the body and was blown away.
The proportioning system is straight foreward and laid out in intricate detail. Even better, she shows you all the different genders and ethnicities all in the same section as options. Still better are her how-to's on handmade tools I've spend bundles buying on my own at hobby stores.
Better still how to scale you projects, something that even my high-end sculpting books would barely touch with a ten foot pole, she tackles full on and unabashed. Not only will you make to scale figures, but you can also check out how to make them into miniatures as well! Which is tough as most books reserve scaling for foundry work.
She doesn't leave much to the imagination, nor spares any rock unturned to show you how to use it and encourages you to expand on that knowledge! Wow, where can I find a teacher like that?
All in all, this is a must have for the doll hobbyist or even just the morbidly curious. A big plus is that all the materials, including the clay, are readily available in stores or online. A very fun and informative book, enjoy!』
(Great book but not for beginner..) 『I bought this book because it looked like it would be perfect to use as a guide for creating polymer clay fairy figures. As a novice sculptor, it seemed to be the perfect choice, and the directions looked like they would be easy to follow, but actually turned out to be more complex in practice, particularly in how to construct the basic armature. This is probably a better book for the more advanced sculptor.』
(This is how an instructional manual should be written.) 『The author has done a wonderful job conveying techniques and tips for modeling realistic figures in clay.
The book begins with the techniques that are fundamental to all shapes.
It them moves into a wonderful chapter on how to make your own tools for the rest of the projects in the book. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book.
The author then takes you step by step in modeling a life-like figure. Using a simple to understand measuring system, you learn how to make every body part proportional to achieve realism.
You will learn techniques in modeling and shaping clay, baking, sanding, polishing, painting, finishing, making realistic-looking hair, even how to make beautiful clothes and accessories.
The book is well thought out and very easy read with plenty of diagrams and photographs.
I've already learned techniques that apply to other types of clay modeling as well. This is a book I will use for years as a reference. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a solid learning experience in sculpting with clay.』
(An excellent guide to sculpting in general, not just with polymer clay) 『Based on the unanimous 5 star reviews (excluding the 2 reviewers who gave it 1 star for a mistake THEY made), I bought this book. I am happy to report that it lives up to the positive reviews.
Katherine Dewey is an accomplished sculptor and this book is very informative and well worth the $15 purchase price in skills taught. Some of the tips and tricks shown can only come about through expensive trial and error (like selecting the right brand of clay), or years of experience (how to make your own custom tools). They are all collected here and presented in a logical progression, with plenty of large color photographs.
Some of the techniques I already figured out for myself (using aluminum foil balls as cores), but many I'm learning for the first time since I am new to polymer clay sculpting. As a beginner, I found the first few chapters very useful in getting grounded in the basics of polymer clays because it is not like natural clay (safety, brands and uses, clay conditioning). Many of the techniques taught in later chapters can be applied to sculpting and figure making in general, not exclusively to the polymer clay medium, or restricted to purely lifelike figures. My brand of artwork is mostly cartoony and usually not lifelike, but I found much to like in this book.
Highly recommended.』
(Fantastic Sculpting Guide- Highly Recommended) 『Creating Lifelike Figures in Polymer Clay is one of the best how-to sculpting books I've ever read.
Chapter 1 covers the various polymer clays available, how to work with the clay, safety considerations, and includes formulas to blend colors for various ethnic skin tones.
Chapter 2 describes working with basic shapes and Ms Dewey's technique of modelling units, which is to roll out a log shape of clay at a certain thickness and cut off units of equal lengths. A great technique for a beginner to ensure equal amounts of clay are used. Who wants two disproportionate arms or legs simply because you eyeballed how much clay to use?
Chapter 3 covers making your own tools with the clay. If your a novice who has never used polymer clay, this chapter gets you familiar with the feel, texture, and baking methods needed as you sculpt your figures.
Chapters 4-7 cover the modelling of the figure from face, torso, arms, and legs. In the face chapter, Ms Dewey shows you how to model a basic face but doesn't just move on from there; she expounds on it. She shows you how to sculpt the differences of gender. She shows how to sculpt ethnic faces. She shows you how to add expression to your figure with the shift of the clay here or there. She shows you how to add age to your character.
Similarly with the torso chapter, she shows you how to sculpt the male torso and the female variation. She also gives you techniques for sculpting the "heroic" or well-muscled male torso as well as adding realistic "fat" pads for the overweight figure.
Her arms and legs chapter are very detailed and you do get the development of the "heroic" arms and legs if you want to pursue that type of figure.
Chapter 8 details how to sculpt in smaller scales. Most of the book prior concerns 1/6 scale. In chapter 8, she gives formulas for the "base units" that enable you to sculpt in 1/8, 1/10, and 1/12 scale. She also demonstrates techniques for sculpting in these smaller scales.
Chapter 9 shows you how to make costumes in clay, which is truly amazing and almost worth the price of the book alone. Her figures look like they were dressed in fabric instead of clay. So if you can't or don't want to sew for a figure you sculpt, you can dress them in "fabric" as textured, with draping and folds as real as the real thing.
Chapter 10 demonstrates "finishing touches" which is the painting and wigging of your figure.
The instructions are exceptionally detailed and EXTREMELY well photographed. The photos and descriptions are why this book gets a 5-star rating. It's as if the author really cared that you do well with your sculpting and wanted to give you enough photos and description to do it.
The only "negative" I would give this book is that it needs to be spiral bound. I own the original self-published book- and yes, this is a reprint of Ms Dewey's original which has a different cover - but I bought this copy to take apart and put into a binder so I could lay it flat to reference while I sculpt.

(Amazing author - Livia Bitton-Jackson) 『At the time of the Holocaust, Elli was a very young girl. The Nazi regime killed many of her family, imprisoned her and so many others in concentration camps, kept them on starvation rations, and worked people to death. Truly terrible and tragic! It was extremely brutal, senseless, and ruthless violence against Jews and others.
What amazed me wasn't so much her story, but it was her transcendence from victim to an educated, joyful, caring, generous, and still beautiful lady.』
(Brilliant) 『This young-adult book is not the first Holocaust memoir I've read, but it is perhaps the most brilliant. Not an easy read, of course, none of them are. I had to put it down several times and go off and do something else to forestall an overdose of grief and anger.
Especially affecting is the fact that she was but thirteen when her family was shipped to Auschwitz. Only the infamous Dr. Mengele saved her from the gas, telling her to lie that she was sixteen, and only because his racist mind doted on her blond hair and blue-green eyes. He'd apparently never seen a Jew who looked Aryan.
All the pertinent details of the camps are revealed, slowly in dramatic fashion, the recreated scenes and dialogue becoming more historical fiction than a recitation of actual events. Her story of strength and survival in the face of so much cruelty and heartbreak is inspiring. Some of us really can survive almost anything. But, in the end, she was left with much pain to work through:
"My friends, my family, all those achingly dear to me, my entire world, rose up in smoke, vanished."
Her dedication is especially touching: "...to the children in Israel who, unsung and unacclaimed, risk their lives every day just by traveling to school...the only guarantee that a Holocaust will never happen again." 』
(Racial Prejudice is Absurd - Faith Helps in Trying Times) 『 The author, nee, Elli L. Friedmann, was born in Somorja, Czechoslovakia. I was born in Chrzanów, Poland. Elli and I became victims of the German invasion to our respective countries, at the age of thirteen. Both of us have experienced and witnessed atrocities of the Nazis and their collaborators like the Arrowcross in Hungary and the Volksdeutsche in Poland. The many episodes of manifested evil as well as human kindness narrated in "I Have Lived A Thousand Years" are similar to mine. Still, I am moved to tears reading Elli's tribulations. It is indeed a very impressive memoir.
In the book (page 151), Herr Zerkübel, the factory director in Augsburg selected Jewish girls with blond hair and blue eyes for the most intricate duties. He believed that the color of hair, skin, and blue eyes were indicative of superior intellect. This assumption is just racial prejudice at its core. I have met many bright and mediocre blond girls alike with or without blue eyes, from many faiths. I have met many brilliant and less than average African Americans and others from different ethnicities. Racial prejudice is irrational and has no logical basis.
Laura, her tenaciously devout mother's reaction to the German oppressive edicts is compelling. When the Hungarian police handed over her son Bubi to the Germans she said, "Hungarian, Germans - what is the difference. God is with us; He is with us everywhere." When the Germans cut off her daughter's beautiful braids, the mother said "It's nothing; hair can grow, with God's help." When the Jews were forced to wear the yellow star the mother said, "What is a yellow star on a jacket? It does not kill or condemn. It does not harm. It only says you are a Jew. That is nothing to be ashamed of... Aren't you proud of being a Jew?"
The author spent her school years in concentration camps rather than in classes, but the book proves her to be a highly educated person and an excellent writer. "I Have Lived A Thousand Years" is a short book, but very descriptive and extremely gripping. It is a personal and gut-wrenching story. It should be read by young and old alike.
The book reinforces how faith can help us in arduous times and in it, there is a lesson for all of us to learn. We must learn to recognize hatred and it must be stopped. As a Holocaust victim I can attest that every Jew was a victim, but not every victim was a Jew. I am at liberty to state that prejudice is absurd. Voltaire also warned us when he said, "...those who make you believe in absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Failures to stop prejudice have lead to the Holocaust and other instances of genocide. If left unconstrained in the future, it will continue to lead to unfathomable events. And one day these events may profoundly affect our self and our children.

(Excellent Book) 『This is an excellent book on how to solve all of the common algebra word problems, such as mixture, distance, coin, and age problems, etc. There are numerous examples of each type of problem. What is really great is that the author shows you how to model the problems with easy to understand diagrams. It would be hard to find a better written book in my opinion.』
(Great book!) 『I had my last math class 10 years ago, now I decided to take a GMAT test and needed to refresh my basic math skills, in particular the word problems. This book was great! It helped me get a good score.』
(Excellent, systematic way of looking at word problems) 『I am taking a college-level algebra class to fulfill some pre-reqs. I really regret that my high school algebra texts never devoted a full section on word problems, as this book does. I see now that's why I never really "got" them. This book categorizes the problems by type and offers a systematic method of setting up each type. That's what I needed all along!
The only negative about the book is that there are a couple of types of problems for which the author didn't develop a drawing or chart. That's too bad, but the book has helped me immensely overall.』
(Great reference book!) 『I have been studying pre-algebra (hoping to move to on to algebra soon) in order to prepare myself for an assessment test. When I saw this book while researching what books to buy so I could study and get myself up to date after many years away from school, I thought it would probably come in handy.
I had been over 1/2 way through my other book when I got stuck on a word problem. Because it was an end of the chapter quiz, I had the correct answer, but not the detailed explanation of how they got to the answer. I was already getting frustrated when I saw this book sitting on the bedside table.
I pulled the book and opened it for the first time, hoping I would be able to find what I was looking for without having to read through the chapters looking for it. What a pleasant surprise! The book has an index showing types of problems and where to find them. The problem I was having issues with was about calculating "age" so I went straight to the age section, hoping they would have a problem that was similar enough to the one I was stuck with so I could figure out what I had to do. There it was, among the 5 or 6 problems, there was one similar enough that I was able to figure mine out. I was very, very happy!
To be honest, that has been my only experience with the book so far, but in my opinion it was an experience worthy of writing this review.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Huge Disappointment) 『We bought this toy for our son who is a HUGE Ben 10 fan. I must say that this is one of the worst toys I've ever had the pleasure to take out of the box..., although there was no pleasure in untying 20+ plastic parts just to get them out of the package.
Once assembled, it takes very little effort to break it apart under normal play. There is a tub of clay included in case you want to mold your own version of Vilgax, since he is NOT included with his own battle ship. Do not fear however..., there is a clear plastic Ben 10 action figure with a skate board that will hold your child's attention for all of 10 seconds!
Very disappointed in the quality and concept of this toy. It could have been much better, but it appears to be nothing more than a waste of your disposable income. Buyer beware.』
(Total waste of money!) 『Santa brought this toy last year. My son has never even had the interest to put it completely together. He started it but it kept falling apart.』
(Bad design for a potentially fun toy) 『My son wanted this battleship most for Christmas. He does play with it, but it falls apart all the time in several different areas. The activities on the ship like the sumo wrestling and the Ben 10 skate ramp seem like a waste. Why not just make a solid, durable ship without the extra junk? My son only uses it as the ship without the extras.
A nice plus is that the Ben 10 figure does fit perfectly into the driver's seat of another Ben 10 toy, Upgrade. However, the clear Ben 10 figure with the ship makes no sense whatsoever, nor does not including Vilgax on the Vilgax Battleship.』
(A Complete Waste of $) 『Do not waste your money on this toy. If there was a rating for FUN, I would rate this a negative ten (-10). I am so disappointed with this, if it wasn't for my son who likes Ben10, I would've returned it. He does not enjoy playing with it and gets bored after 5 minutes. Ben10 is transparent, why, I have no idea. There is no Vilgax included, you need to get it separately.』
(A piece of crap) 『This is the worst toy I have seen in a long time. Besides the 25 twist-ties to unpack it -- the fact that it doesn't even tell you how to put it together sent me around the bend. Then, as the other reviewer stated, it doesn't stay together and doesn't include VILGAX which is what it is named for!! My kids also like the clear ben 10 w/skateboard and I think that is all we will keep. WASTE OF MONEY!!』 『Vilgax Battle Ship is the ultimate battle field for every alien!

To make sure your jumps land you have to have good coordination with the mouse. If your hands cramp up or you get nervous; you have to work at it. I had no luck making an original face(it looked like a space alien). I was almost stuck with the original but was able, somehow, to get the default copy of Michelle Kwan(phew!!). This reviewer is not a computer maven or a motor moron. What makes the package more difficult than it has to be is that there is no hard copy manual. There is a downloadable manual using Adobe Acrobat that comes with this software. Make sure you have the required hardware. The hard copy manual is available for $5. Right now, I don't know the limits of the music selection. If creating a skater becomes easier and music can be added it could be a more enjoyable game for myself. If it is just a matter of clicking your mouse at the right time...
For many people this game is not a"plug and go".』
『Compete in a regional skating tournament and then move up to international competition inMichelle Kwan Figure Skating, a highly customizable game that lets you enter the glamorous world of ice skating from the comfort of your computer station.
This game gives players control of every aspect of their virtual skater's performance. Users may paste their own photographic portraits onto a range of skaters' bodies before selecting a costume and getting out onto the ice. Once there, players select music for a program, either their own imports or a song from the selections provided. A menu of options at the top of the screen offers skating moves: spins, jumps, spirals, poses, and transitional moves--everything you need to put together a medal-winning routine.
It is tempting to load your program with triple jumps and combinations, but be warned! Once you have put the program together, you have to skate it in competition--and there is no guarantee that you and your skater can make all of those jumps. A jump meter at the bottom of the screen moves every time you are setting up a jump. It is up to you to click your mouse at the right time to land the move. Click too soon or too late, and you will watch as your skater lands on her backside and your score plummets.
Michelle Kwan Figure Skatingdoes suffer from a few tiny flaws. Getting your face perfectly centered on the figure skater's body is tricky. It also takes trial and error to develop routines that look truly smooth, there is no provision made for skater fatigue, and scoring is purely on technical excellence, failing to reflect the complexity of real-world scoring for this sport. While the other required moves for competition are included, there are no options for the intense and clever footwork sequences required in both long and short programs. However, these concerns will only be obvious to devoted skating enthusiasts, and are minor when set against the vast range of details this program does get right. Everything inMichelle Kwan Figure Skatingis set up to put you--with only the tiniest bit of imaginative input--right there on the rink, skating for the judges and hoping to win gold.
Best of all, the illusion doesn't break once you have finished your program. Instead, the camera cuts to a shot of you and Michelle Kwan sitting together, surrounded by figure skating's obligatory flowers and stuffed animals while you wait for your scores. Score poorly, and it's back to the rink to fine-tune your routine and practice some more. However--if you win--you get a chance to see yourself on the podium with the other medalists, enjoying a brief moment of glory before moving up to the next level of competition.--Alyx Dellamonica』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great option) 『The bra came in a timely manner and was exactly as expected. This is a great option for an active woman.』
(Best sports bra for larger women) 『this is the best sports bra I have found for larger women--and I have tried several. I was professionally fitted at a department store and ordered online. The bra was true to size. It is also worth every penny if you want full support.』
(Great quality but not true to size...) 『I thought thia bra was great in theory but let me down in the execution. It was much smaller than the size indicates. I couldn't even get it over my head and my arms through the holes. I got my normal bra size and this was WAY too small. But it seemed to be of nice quality and fabric. But that didnt matter much when I couldnt even get it on. I sent it back.』
(real support) 『running with this bra (40DD) is easy. I was able to control "jiggle" and still feel my posture was correct. As a large busted women who finds it hard to find GREAT high impact support- this is one you want to try!』
(I finally found the support I needed) 『I have searched for years for a sports bra that could control the bounce. This is the only one that has ever worked for me. It doesn't completely stop any movement but I can run and do jumping jacks now without ending up in pain. I'm a 38 DDD to a G depending on the style. So I would say this bra should work for any woman my size or smaller. The only negative I could say about this bra is that it provides no shaping so I still have to wear a standard bra underneath, but for me that's fairly standard.』 『This Goddess Sports Bra features excellent comfort and support!』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Clips) 『These clips are great for many purposes. I use the large one to hang sandals on my belt when I walk the beach.』 『The S-Biner design provides the option for ultimate security of keys and other important accessories by easily securing the time to the center bar. A connection can still be made on either side. Why settle for one carabiner? Get two in one. Warning: Not for use where disengagement could result in bodily injury or property damage.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (ice skates) 『These ice skates were too small and returned. I have not heard that my account has been credited for the return. Please credit my account.
The sizes run small on this. You might want to get a size or two larger. So much better then the rental skates -- the blade is sharp and not all dinged up. The boots probably aren't as comfortable as more expensive boots, but my daughter hasn't complained and the skates have dramatically improved her skating.
I also bought the mens skate that is basically the same model and just paid for shipping one time as sold by skatebuys through amazon with one checkout. The sizes also run small on this -- I wear a 9.5 to 10 shoe and bought a size 11 skate which fits just right. I haven't skated on sharp blades for over 20 years -- it's great(I didn't pay for the extra sharpenning and they are plenty sharp). The boots could be a bit more comfortable especially the upper tong -- but as they break in they are getting more comfortable.
