Richard Simmons - Sweatin’ to the Oldies


Richard Simmons - Sweatin’ to the Oldies
Richard Simmons is the king of motivational exercise, especially if you’re a beginner. This video workout is a dance party simulating a class reunion, with an energizing live band playing lively hits from the ’50s and ’60s, such as “It’s My Party and I’ll Cry If I Want To,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and “Dancing in the Streets.” The singers and musicians sometimes come offstage and dance with the exercisers, adding to the energy and festivity. The choreography is very simple, low impact, light intensity, and appropriate for beginners and overweight exercisers. (You may not get your heart rate up if you’re very fit, although you’ll enjoy the music.) Richard doesn’t do much in the way of cueing–he assumes you’ll just follow along. His onscreen class has women and men of all body shapes and sizes, and everyone is having a blast. You will, too. At the end, the exercisers dance down the floor and the screen flashes how many pounds they’ve lost–several have lost more than 100 pounds. (22 minutes of aerobics, total 43 minutes with warm-up, cool down, and stretch.) –Joan Price

Customer Review: Let’s Party!!!
Excellent product. I had lost 52 pounds on the Sweatin to the Oldies program. The only this is they are great aerobics program; you might have to include sit ups or push ups with the program. Even though I lost alot of weight I wasn’t very tight and tone. However Richard Simmons always delivers with a fun and effective weight loss program.

Customer Review: Fabulous!
Richard Simmon has won my heart with his infectious enthusiasm for fun exercise! When I put on “Sweatin’ to the Oldies”, I can’t help but sing and dance. It sure helps me get in my 10,000 steps a day!!

Customer Review: Review of the movie “Gracie”.
I thought the movie “Gracie” was excellent. The movie showed how dreams in a person can inspire one to triumph over outside walls. It was truly an inspirational movie which anyone would enjoy. Carly Schroeder was excellent in the movie. Having read an interview about her, it was easy to understand why she made this movie. We need more movies like this to portray good positive images!
Customer Review: Not soooo good.
Not exactly for the whole family. There are a couple of inappropriate scenes for younger children. The language is not that great either. The acting is fine and the story is good. I did think it was a bit much that none of the adult men took up for the girl when she was punched. No male would have took that from someone else but she was expected to because she was asking for it because she wanted to play with the boys!!?? It is an okay movie.

    Customer Review: Office Mac 2008 Not Worth Its Cost in Packaging
    Microsoft’s Mac unit did Mac users an injustice with Office 2008, bringing the package down to the functionality of Apple’s iWork ‘08. Stripping VBA and the data analysis toolpak out of Excel is inexcusable, but it’s even worse. Many of the Upgrades Microsoft made from Office XP to Office 2003, let alone Office 2007 are not included (e.g., right indent in Excel). Word and PowerPoint also seem more like Office XP as well. Sure formatting palettes are nice, but that’s just repacking functionality, not improving it.

    As bad as the stripped down Office 2008 is, it gets worse. PPT, Word, and Excel crash so often on my new Leopard MacBook Pro, that I use iWork for most of my work and switch to the Windows version of Excel via VMWare Fusion when tasks demand them. I would suggest staying with Mac 2004 until Microsoft does an upgrade to the Office Suite that does more than change its packaging.

    Customer Review: It’s about time Microsoft Office for Mac’s updated

Never before has a player’s technique been dissected so thoroughly. Broken down into easy to use sections - control, space making skills, passing and working for space, turning skills and forward play, crossing, closing down and defending, finishing and free kicks - this is the definitive soccer skills program.

    Customer Review: Waste of money and time!
    This is probably the worst soccer instructional DVD that I’ve ever seen (and I’ve watched quite a few). More time is spent on David talking about David than on instruction. Content is light and production is glitzy and distracting.
    Customer Review: HIghly polished waste of time
    Beckham is one of the great soccer players of today and I was really looking forward to his hints on how to do things, especially since this is a 2 DVD package. I was most interested in the “banana kick” which is how most people call the kick that bends the ball around say an opposing “wall.” Not here. Almost nothing is here except a lot of special effects, and “extras” like some shots of the face of the Great One looking worried as he gets ready to do a penalty kick. There is a little 20 minutes or so of a game of the Great One vs a bunch of young kids but nothing to learn there. The only saving grace of this is the points on “first touch” which are pretty good. There are a very few pointers for beginners on how to get past an opponent but nothing any 9 year old can’t figure out for him/herself. So much sizzle, so little steak!

    Customer Review: Brilliant introduction for 5 year old
    My five year old son has been really struggling at soccer, even though he is a fast runner and very co-ordinated he was just wandering around the field looking lost. So I spent three months looking for a good kids Soccer DVD to teach him. This was the third we had tried and it is brilliant!! He watched it six tims in the first two days. He had his first post-DVD soccer game yesterday and the difference was astounding. He excitedly jumped out of the car for the first time, dribbled the ball perfectly from the car to his time for the first time, line up with his team and kicked his first goal and started jumping up and down with excitment. He was very pleased with himself and the first thing he asked for this morning was, “Mum, can I please watch the soccer movie again?”.
    Customer Review: Fine..but for YOUNGEWR KIDs
    Actually, checked this out from the library several years ago. My daughter who has turned into a reasonably good soccer player (not necessarily thanks to this video, but…) really liked this video at the age of 7-8 years and actually remembers it. It is a basic resource that will hold their attention and can be the basis for a conversation on what they should be doing on the field. It is not comprehensive, but a good start for young kids in playing fundementals.

iTouchless Stainless Steel Hands-Free Infrared Automatic Trash Can, 13 Gallon (49 Liter)


iTouchless Stainless Steel Hands-Free Infrared Automatic Trash Can, 13 Gallon (49 Liter)
Once you’ve tried the iTouchless Touchless Trashcan, you will never go back to the traditional or step-on trash can again. After all, your trashcan is your most-used everyday “appliance,” so why not make it easier, more pleasant, and a lot less messy to use?


iTouchless trashcan opens and closes without touching the bin. View larger.

About the Touchless Trashcan
The 13-gallon, brushed stainless steel Touchless Trashcan is a patented product that’s already widely recognized in Europe. Thousands have been sold on infomercials, QVC, and HSN home shopping channels. It also won the 2002 Invention Show, New Household Product Award. It is a 100 percent hands-free operated, wireless, lidded waste disposal system. The built-in Artificial Intelligent (AI) Smart-Chip knows when you need to open trash can, and it does all the openings and closings for you so you don’t have to touch or step on anything.

How it Works
The Touchless Trashcan uses patented, invisible, and harmless infrared technology. Simply place your hand or debris about six inches away from the infrared sensor near the lid. It will open instantly when you approach and will close automatically in three seconds after debris has been released and your hand moves away. The lid will remain open if debris or your hand is within the 6-inch range of the infrared sensor. There are two buttons on the front to open and close the lid manually, and a easy to reach on/off switch on the back of the trashcan.

The Benefits of the Touchless Trashcan
This trashcan creates a germ free, odor free, automated environment. It keeps your hands clean while you are cooking or playing with your children. It also helps prevent contamination, which reduces the threat of certain illnesses and infections. Because the trashcan turns an ordinary chore into something fun, your kids will have fun throwing the trash away for you. In addition, the Touchless Trashcan outlasts most of the step-on and hand-touch cans. If you can’t touch it, you can’t break it! These cans have been opened 100,000 times in laboratory tests, and they’re still going strong. In fact, if you open your can 20 times a day, it can last over 10 years. This could actually be the last trashcan you ever buy, which will save you money, mess, and time.

Technology and Eco-Friendly Features
Professionals recognize Touchless Trashcan as the next generation of waste receptacles. Its non-touch hygienic features meet the immediate needs in healthcare facilities and elderly homes. The new SilenX technology makes the closing of the lid even quieter while the “eagle eye” water-resistant sensor features reliable point-n-lock beam technology. In addition, the special energy saving design of Touchless Trashcan enables its four “D” size heavy duty batteries to support up to 10,000 consecutive openings and closings, or more than one year of use in non-frequent circumstances. There’s also never a “fallen bag” problem with the Touchless Trashcan. The specially designed garbage bag retainer ring tightly holds the edges of the bag to prevent it from falling, and it seals the odors inside. You can use regular plastic garbage bags or even grocery bags, so there’s no need to buy special garbage bags which many high-end garbage cans require.

The Touchless Trashcan will improve the look of your kitchen, giving it an ultra-modern look and feel. It comes with one year limited manufacturer’s warranty and a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee.


What’s in the Box
iTouchless touchless trashcan and garbage bag retainer ring.

Customer Review: A delight while it worked. And then, after a month
This product was a delight while it worked. Even my two teenage sons, who rarely compliment anything, independently said “I love this garbage can.” Alas, it broke after a month–the lid stopped opening. Fresh batteries did not help. It simply stopped opening, even when I pressed the manual open button. It’s too bad–it helped keep the kitchen clean, the garbage lid itself stayed clean, and it was tall enough that the dog couldn’t activate the sensor. But, in the end, it gave only a month of utility before it joined the ranks of yet another appliance that had to be returned.

Customer Review: Works fine for me
So far the experience with this trash can has been great, don’t have any complaints, other than sometimes I walk to close to it. Which I knew could be a problem when I bought it because of where it would go, a small price to pay compared to the filth that was on my old trash can lid. So, so far so good.

Sigg Kids Water Bottle (0.4-Liters)
A safe, stylish alternative to plastic sippy cups, Sigg Kids reusable bottles are a great choice for keeping your child hydrated in a healthy way. Designed to fit your on-the-go lifestyle, this durable, leak-proof, ultra-lightweight bottle is extruded from a single piece of aluminum and is suitable for all beverages–from water to juice to carbonated drinks. An ideal size for toddler, it holds 0.4 liters of fluid (13.5 ounces) and it comes with a double seal, leak-proof top with cap that keeps out dirt.

The leak-proof top comes with a removable cap to protect it from dirt and the elements.

Sigg bottles are virtually unbreakable and are constructed with no seams, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-proof performance. They also feature Sigg’s proprietary baked-on inner liner, which is made from a non-toxic, water-based epoxy resin that exceeds FDA requirements for leaching (0.0 percent) and is independently tested to be taste- and scent-neutral. Every Sigg bottle is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its life, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

About Sigg
It all started with a simple hiker’s bottle. Today, the SIGG bottle has acquired cult status. What happened is a success story that started in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. K?ng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can Sigg bottles be used for boiling water?
A: No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating.

Q: Can dents in the bottle damage the Sigg bottle’s inner coating?
A: No, the Sigg inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack or chip the internal lining and the Sigg bottle remains perfectly usable.

Q: Can I use my Sigg bottle for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, all Sigg bottle tops provide a 100 percent seal and will not leak. It’s recommended that you fill the bottle no further than 1/2-inch below the lip. And before taking a drink, relieve the pressure inside the bottle by gently rotating the entire top.

Q: Are Sigg bottles dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, but because of the narrow mouth of the bottle, hand washing is recommended.

Q: Can a Sigg bottle be placed in the freezer
A: No, as this may cause the bottle to crack. However, the bottle can be chilled in the refrigerator.

Customer Review: Toddler Loves It
My toddler really like this bottle. She can drink from it with ease. I feel better knowing it’s a safer material. I wish it was spill proof but the little twist lock on the spout seems to do the trick when she takes off with the bottle.
Customer Review: Super cute, but a little unrealistic.
I ordered this bottle for my 1 year old daughter. I wanted something that was not made out of the unsafe plastic, which it is. The drinking spout was too hard for her to open, but if I left it open for her, it was NOT leak-proof at all. So, I ended up ordering myself a Sigg bottle with a different spout (that I switched with hers) that was leak-proof & only had to be pushed in a little with the mouth to drink, which she can do just fine. Another thing is that I did not realize that it would dent so easily when dropped. If you have kids, you know that they drop things A LOT! So this bottle is pretty dented up by now, but still very usable anyway. It is a good bottle for a little older kids though.

Customer Review: Wishbone: Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Wishbone is a jack russell terrier who imagines himself as different characters in literature. In this story, he imagines himself as the schoolteacher Ichabod Crane. Each of the wishbone stories has two parts. In one part wishbone daydreams about being a character in literature, and in the other part his owner, Joe Talbot goes thru adventures of his own with his friends, and of course, Wishbone. This is another of my favorites. It defintely teaches kids about literature, and of course, having a cute little dog helps.
Customer Review: wishbone is the best show ever and forever!!!
wishbone is great why didn’t they keep the show on longer the shows in the 90’s treated kids like they were smarter but now it’s almost like the new kids shows are trying to make a whole new generation stupid because they dance and sing about people being “friends”

Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter


Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter
TIFFEN 58UVP — The Haze ( UV ) filter improves your pictures while protecting your lens from dust, moisture and scratches.

Customer Review: Tiffen UV filter
I am not a photography expert but have taken many photos over the last 30 years. The filter seems to be exactly what was advertised though I have not done any “testing” of it other than to use it. No problems. Seems to be well made. Got it mainly to protect main lens.

If I needed another UV (protection) filter I would not hesitate to get another one of these.

Was delivered promptly and well packaged.

Gave 4 stars (instead of 5) because I don’t have a way to completely test it’s ability to deal with UV problems.

Customer Review: Quality Made in USA
This UV filter is very well made, particularly for the price. Either I got a good copy or the other reviewers are exaggerating perceived flaws. Moreover, I have not seen any negative effects on image quality but rather quite the contrary.

The most amazing thing to me is this filter is made in the U.S. That’s an added bonus to getting great, affordable protection for my lenses and UV filtration - my dollars stay at home for a change.

    Customer Review: disappointment
    I purchased this as a chiristmas present and the plane broke on it’s “maiden voyage.” My husband and son were very disappointed. The plane can not be controlled once it starts nose diving. You can only turn it right or left. Not worth the money nor your time.
    Customer Review: Great Price…takes punishment
    This is the second RC airplane I have purchased. The first one was a complete disaster but I wanted to give flying toys another chance. The controls are very easy. Fast, slow, left, right… thats about it. I don’t think this plane is able to take off from the ground, I think it’s too light. So my first try hand launching I followed the instructions in the box, so I launched with props at full power. This caused the plane to go straight up in the air and then nose dive. So you need to launch at slower prop speed and gradually increase your altitude. This plane can not handle the slightest wind… my day was very light winds and it still caused it to turn hard from the wind. It survives the little crashes great. I crashed over and over without any problems except for the battery case coming off the bottom. I found that clear packing tape worked much better than the supplied plastic piece. The nose cone is durable foam which holds up great, however, if you nose dive too hard, you can break/crack the nose area made out of styrofoam. After I got it home, I was able to reconstruct it back to health just fine. The thing I love most about this plane is the 5 minute charge time… AND all you do is plug the battery into the back of the handheld controller, thats it, no electricity needed!!!! You just can’t beat that, period. RC planes, cars, boats… I’ve owned them all. Up until this baby, my fastest charge time was 30 minutes and that needed to be plugged into the wall. So, if you are in a field and the battery dies, sit down, have a snack for 5 minutes and your up and running again. Also, the battery lasted for a good twenty minutes of flying. I’m not sure why another review said it doesn’t last long enough, especially when you can charge up again in 5 minutes. All and all, this is an excellent toy that can’t be beat for the value. It’s currently going on amazon for $47.95 but when I bought it, it was a different seller going for $29. I would suggest shopping around online until you find the price that works for you. Even at $50, I would still recommend this product. Happy Flying

Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan


Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan
The sides of this 10-inch nonstick griddle are low and slope gently, so your cr?pes slide out without falling apart and your pancakes flip easily. No matter what you’re cooking, you’re guaranteed quick and even heat distribution, easy food release, and simple cleaning, thanks to the pan’s three layers: an aluminum core, a hard-anodized exterior, and a reinforced nonstick surface. The aluminum core provides rapid heat conduction, while the hard-anodized exterior increases the griddle’s durability. The nonstick surface allows you to cook low-fat meals without using any oil or butter. The griddle includes a collector’s edition recipe card. As with all nonstick surfaces, you should not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaners with the griddle; doing so could void the lifetime warranty. –Laura Cuthbert

Customer Review: Complete 50’s Chuck - Rocks!
Universal Music / Hip-O Select has put together this fine release and deserve high kudos for a job well done. The sound is is fantastic and to have a complete set of Chuck’s 50’s sides all in one place is just great! You will hear the early sides like “Maybelline” right through 1959’s “Too Pooped To Pop”. In between you hear a little studio chatter and a bunch of fun alternate versions and a few songs that were never released. Booklet is very imformative and gives dates, personnel and dates of the releases. I highly recommend this set and sincerely hope there are subsequent volumes to cover the 60’s. A couple of small complaints: I really enjoy the alternate versions, but multiple versions (5 in row for example of “Sweet Little Sixteen”) can be a little tiring and I think it may have been nice to either space them out or have the alternate versions on their own disc. The packaging is a bit annoying, I would have preferred separate cases, but these are small issues!

Customer Review: AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS NO TV FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2!
The name “Baby Einstein” can lull you into thinking it’s okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television at all to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that:

- for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%.

- among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as ‘Brainy Baby’ or ‘Baby Einstein’ translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age.”

- brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping.

I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby’s intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, “relationships, not things, make babies smarter.” The best way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable.

- Carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying!

Babies who are frequently carried pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list “Natural Parenting for Baby’s First Year” has more information on babywearing, or you can google “babywearing” or “television and baby studies” for your own research.

Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.

Finally, I’d suggest “SIGNING TIME” videos - not to be confused with “Baby Signing Time” - as a last resort for OCCASIONAL viewing instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Communicating in sign language is proven to:

- reduce frustration and tantrums

- accelerate language development

- promote parent-child bonding

I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD and ‘naming’ feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies.

Customer Review: Kids Absolutely Love This Chess Set….
This chess set is wonderful, it has inspired at least two children who have been to our home to learn how to play chess. My own children love playing with this set. In addition to playing chess, sometimes they recreate the Fritz and Chesster games they’ve played and printed from the computer, sometimes they make up puzzles for each other “Move one piece and put my king into check”, sometimes they haul the chess pieces around the house to do double duty for some other imaginative play venture. I do wish there was some way to weight the pieces, they are hollow plastic with felt bottoms. I’ve debated opening them up to put sand inside of them, but haven’t done so yet. Anyway, I’m not sure how this game would hold up outside on a windy day, but regardless, we have been very pleased with this chess set.

Customer Review: ultimate Boring game collection
not much fun at all really…it is much more fun to play board games the old fashioned way…(the loser has to clean up the game, right?) there is nothing special or extra-zippy about these games, i thought they might have made them uber cool because they are for Wii…sorry to say it is not so….these are just your run-of-the-mill board games. i bought this because i thought it might be fun to play mahjong, and chinese checkers by myself….however, mahjong is just the very basic solitaire version with no advanced scoring..which means it’s really just a glorified matching game. chinese checkers would be nice except for the fact that there is no way to turn the hints off, so you really don’t have to think or strategize at hardly all…(aren’t thinking and strategy the whole point of the game?) the battle ship-type game on it could have potential in the multi-player mode, as it is very fast paced and i can imagine it being fun at a family get-together. the word-find game is also o.k. i have played it a few times, though the letters are so small it made my brain rather numb i think. all in all, i would say it is not worth $30, you can get a used one for less though and not experience so much guilt that’s induced by overspending on a semi-lame wii game. a $20 price tag (or less) would be worth it just to have 12 games in one collection i suppose. one star for batle ship one star for the word find game one star for having 12 classic games on one disc
Customer Review: CJ
Annoying background music, but turn off the sound. Checkers is hard to get to hold on to the pieces and move. Also makes you use a jump even if you don’t want to. Is nice to play sit down games instead of all the exercising.
