Proven Fast and Painless Hair Removal
Epilation removes hair at root level resulting in smooth skin that lasts for weeks. The X’elle features Active Massage rollers that glide over the skin and gently stimulate it with micro pulsations before and after the hair is removed to reduce any pain or discomfort.

The perfect solution to all-over hair removal, it features a 40-tweezer system that takes away even the tiniest hair and a SmartLight that highlights every hair, so you can’t miss those flat-lying strays. For days when you don’t feel like epilating, it comes with an additional shaver head with OptiTrim attachment to trim hair and maintain irresistibly smooth skin.

A Smart Design for Easy Control
Braun’s Silk-epil X’elle is specially designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. You’ll experience easy grip and control for maneuvering the device in sensitive areas. And its efficient Pro Clip feature follows your body curves for fast and thorough epilation wherever its needed — whether it be the forearms, thighs, bikini area or underarms. Two speeds give you the option of fast or slow epilation. The exclusive X’pert-epil technology has 40 uniquely positioned tweezers, for quick and more efficient results. Regrowth is slow and it leaves hair finer and thinner every time around. With this epilator, you may even save money on disposable razors and waxing.

Customer Review: RETURNED! Scary & hurts like heck!
Purchased it this afternoon, took it home & was SO excited to use it! I have been growing out my underarm hair for weeks-just waiting for this day to come. I read the instructions (keep at 90 degree angle) and plugged it in. The first thing I felt was a tiny pinch, the hair being pulled out obviously. Then, everything after that was the most horrendous pain I have ever felt! I have given BIRTH, had over four tattoo’s, waxed, shaved, threaded-you name it! THIS, by far, was the WORST pain I have ever felt! I tried it in every darn direction and it SNAGGED my skin and ripped it to shreds! Both of my underarms are red and tender from where the skin got torn off and it’s been 8 hours already (it’s 11 pm and I did it at 3 pm). Other bad things: Noisy as hell, the two settings, Soft and Something Faster should have been labeled Super Fast and Something even Super Faster! The Soft setting was so fast I was AFRAID to put it to my armpit! It’s like this scary weedwhacker! The massaging rollers did nothing at all. I am giving it TWO stars because it DID get 95% of my hair out by the roots (all over the place), the color is cute…and thats about it. I can see how this would pay for itself after one or two sessions-but imo, the pain was NOT worth it! I am going to stick with sugar waxing & shaving thank you.

Customer Review: Yes, it hurts but “no pain, no gain” right?
I got my epilator yesterday and used it for the first time this morning. I’m not going to lie to you…it hurt! The first few passes on my legs had me holding my breath and breaking out in a sweat. But as the remaining hairs became more sparse, the discomfort reached a much more manageable level. I truly believe that future uses will prove less painful or even painless, especially if the product is used regularly to pluck out hairs as they come in. I even got up the nerve to do my underarms and bikini area! All areas are a bit red right now (I just finished) but not a whole lot worse in the bikini area than after I shave, so I am positive it will clear up shortly. The best part…my legs are wonderfully smooth and should stay that way for a lot longer than if I had shaved them. It makes a little pain worth it in my book!

As for those who think that this epilator is simply breaking off the hairs, I know for a fact that this is not the case. The hairs I found on the ground and in the machine were at least twice as long as the growth on my legs, indicating without a doubt that they were pulled by the root.

So after my very first use (and a fair amount of pain) I am still going to recommend this product! I look forward to being “shave free” and yet smooth and glorious all summer long.

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.

The Auto Wrench is not meant to replace specialty tools like pipe or torque wrenches, but the jaws open wide enough (up to 1-1/4-inch) so that it could conceivably replace a range of manual wrenches sitting in your toolkit. This is an ideal product for someone looking to buy a wrench that’s both easy to use and versatile. At 8-inches, you could toss it in the silverware drawer and whip it out when you need it.

The area where this wrench really shines is in hard-to-reach spots where mobility is obscured, such as under sinks. A typical situation where the Auto Wrench would help might be one in which you’re awkwardly reaching for a nut underneath the kitchen faucet. With a comparable manual wrench, it’s conceivable you would fumble around with the adjusting mechanism for minutes on end, and then toss a fit. With the Auto Wrench, you’d simply press a button (positioned where you rest your thumb) and the jaws would open or close to your specifications.

We were a bit skeptical when we learned the Auto Wrench takes AA batteries and doesn’t include a rechargeable battery. This means you’ll need to keep some extra batteries around the house - or buy some rechargeable batteries — if you use it frequently. However, the wrench isn’t a power hog by any means. Black & Decker says you can get 650 cycles out of two AA batteries, which should be plenty for most people.

Customer Review: An amazing wrench
I was surprised at some of the negative comments about this wrench. First of all, it seems to me to be as effective as the equivalent manually adjustable “crescent” wrench — with the emphasis on adjustable. There are some rare times when an adjustable wrench won’t do and an exactly size open end wrench from a set of wrenches may be necessary. In those cases, this wrench won’t do the trick any more than a manually adjustable crescent wrench will.

But lets talk of the 97.98% of cases where an adjustable open-end wrench is just what is wanted and needed. Here’s one that adds something useful — it adjusts wider and narrower at the touch of a button. Well, a spring-loaded momentary-on rocker switch, actually. Convenient for your thumb — doesn’t matter whether you’re right-handed or left-handed — there’s this rocker switch. Press one end of the switch and the wrench width opens up. Press the other end and it closes up. It doesn’t take much practice to get the hang of it, and in an instant you can resize the wrench to fit your application.

My first use the other day involved replacing the fill-valve inside my toilet tank. Where I needed a wrench was to loosen the supply tube’s hex nut — you know the one, it holds the bottom end of the water supply tube to the shut-off valve that comes out of the wall below the tank. I also needed it to tighten the same nut when I installed the new tube. It did the job admirably. Yes, my old manually adjustable crescent wrench would have worked, but that takes a bit more effort to get the wrench jaws to the right diameter. With this battery-operated wrench, the adjustment was performed in an instant with the push of the rocker switch with my thumb, and without trial and error.

I’ll be using this wrench a lot in the future, no doubt about it.

Yes, the grip is a bit bulkier because of the rubber coated battery compartment that forms the grip on the handle, and the handle is a bit wider than a manually adjustable wrench. But it was actually more comfortable for me, perhaps because I have fairly large hands. (I suspect that people with small hands might find a manually adjustable wrench with a slimmer handle better for them.)

Anyway, the other thing is, this is a fun wrench to use, too, a nice toy for people who do handy things. Well worth the $24 and change, I find.

Customer Review: Nice idea, not a durable tool.
Got one for Christmas, used it for one project, installing gas lines in the basement. Wrench fell off the ladder and that was it, no more auto wrench.

The good part, returned this to a B&D store, they sent me 3 wrenches as a replacment.

I’ll be more careful with the replacements, but, this is not a regular tool, have to be careful with it.

I would not have bought this myself, nothing beats a good Craftsman open end wrench. I’ll find a use for it.

Customer Review: Stallone in Victory
I am a Stallone fan, but I hated his character in this movie. He plays a bit of a jerk — well. Still, this is a fantastic movie in virtue of the story line. It was inexpensive to own and well worth the money I paid. I will rewatch this one occassionally.
Customer Review: Good, entertaining story
Until reading the reviews here, I thought this movie was British. Why the assumption?, because it’s not the usual American jingoism. As such, I found it very entertaining, interesting, and yes, mostly believable. It was also surprising in that it was a good movie, outside of Rocky, with Stallone in it. I doubt this movie deserves to be described as a classic, yet it is certainly up there for its entertainment value.

Customer Review: great game
i would definitely suggest this game if you are a fan of soccer. the only negative i would bring up is the fact that there is a feature that will automatically switch to a player that is closer to the opposing teams player with the ball. its a great idea but it can be annoying when you are moving one way with a player towards the guy with the ball and suddenly it changes to someone else and your going the wrong way because it switched. luckily it can be turned off. the only flaw i have found in the game is that the comments made by the announcers don’t always correspond with what actually happens or it is said after the fact.

How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget–and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

In Brain Rules, molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule–what scientists know for sure about how our brains work–and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.

Medina’s fascinating stories and sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You’ll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You’ll peer over a surgeon’s shoulder as he finds, to his surprise, that we have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You’ll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can’t tie his own shoes.

You will discover how:

- Every brain is wired differently
- Exercise improves cognition
- We are designed to never stop learning and exploring
- Memories are volatile
- Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn
- Vision trumps all of the other senses
- Stress changes the way we learn

In the end, you’ll understand how your brain really works–and how to get the most out of it.

About the DVD The Brain Rules DVD, included with this book, is a lively tour of the 12 brain rules. You will experience firsthand Medina’s rare gift for making science fun, accessible, and relevant. The DVD will take your understanding of the book to the next level.

Customer Review: Amazing
Read this book. Entertaining, clear and you will learn a lot about how we work.

Customer Review: Fascinating book
I’m a teacher and have recently become interested in the brain. This book is GREAT for educators. It will make you rethink the way you teach. It made me realize how important some parts of the curriculum are (P.E.) which are often cut in order to make more room for review time. With all the non-sense high stakes tests of NCLB it’s not surprising (I did it myself) but if you want to boost your test scores, DON’T CUT P.E. I love this book and would recommend it to anybody, but especially teachers.

Videocoach Vogelsinger’s Kicking (Soccer Series)
List Price: $12.98
Used Price: $6.48
Customer Review: Terrific Content: Old Tape
Soccer involves a patient acquisition of skills and cannot be short cut with a 5 second “here’s how you kick” segment. Vogelsinger carefully builds up and out from foot position at the moment of impact, through full volley kicks on all three surfaces of the foot. It is an excellent tape and has helped me with my teams and children, who all play at the club level. So what if the video quality is bad: the content is great
Customer Review: Compared to what?
Even if this were the only video of soccer moves I’d say avoid it. Fortunately, there are better tapes so I’d pass on this whole series unless you can get it at the library and even then prepare to use the fast fwd button a LOT. This has to be the weakest tape of the 6 tape series since there is no motivation or logic given behind anything shown - just ‘do this..like this..” and there are few if any close-ups of the foot in motion. Here’s a simple hint for anyone whose kicks are too low, bouncing along the grass and losing momentum. If your supporting foot is slightly behind the ball, the kicking foot will catch the ball on the upward part of its arc and give a little loft to the ball. I have never seen this explained in any video tape - someone at work pointed it out to me. All the boys on my U-10 team can now kick nice shots and understand this simple logic.

Kicking and Screaming
Will Ferrell is at his full, frenzied power as Phil Weston, a married, uncoordinated would-be sportsman with an uncoordinated would-be sportsman son–and an unresolved relationship with his coach father, Buck (Robert Duvall), who has very little tolerance for the uncoordinated. When Buck trades his own grandson to a real loser of a little league soccer team, Phil naturally takes over underdog coaching duties and the two men butt heads. You could easily, and perhaps rightfully, dismiss all of this as a dumb, demented Meatballs or Bad News Bears rip-off, but it’s pleasantly dumb and sometimes hysterically demented: Encouraged by his neighbor, ex-Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka (yes, playing himself), Phil stops his vitamin regimen and becomes wildly addicted to regular doses of caffeine, which turns him into a monster of a team leader. In addition to Ferrell, Duvall does a doozy of a comic riff on his Great Santini role, and even Ditka is unexpectedly funny. It’s a formula film with just enough far-out notions to keep you chuckling. –Steve Wiecking

Customer Review: Nonstop laughs the whole family can enjoy…
I’m a huge fan of Will Ferrell and so I was excited when this movie was released. Although I never got a chance to see it in the theater I rushed to buy the DVD once it was released much to my wife’s dismay, since she doesn’t share the same love of Ferrell. The greatest thing about this film is that, while Ferrell may have to reign in some of the outlandish remarks that make him so funny in order to keep a lower rating and appeal to children and parents alike, he still maintains the same enthusiasm for his work and delivers a performance that is over the top, hilarious and spontaneous, and one that even my wife found enjoyable. That’s probably one of the most commendable traits here. It serves as a really great family sports comedy, appealing to children but also giving the parents something to laugh at. The film follows Phil Weston as he matches wits with his stubborn and overbearing father Buck. Buck, played by Robert Duvall, has always been disappointed with Phil who never shared his father’s love of sports and everything manly. Instead Phil grew up to run a vitamin store, something Buck is somewhat ashamed of. Throughout Phil’s life his father always had to be the best, even if that meant trampling his own son down in the process, and now, years later when Phil’s son Sammy gets the same treated from his dear old Grandpa, Phil has to take maters into his own hands. He does that by offering to coach the loser team Buck traded Sammy to. Buck is unsupportive but in the end it’s the competition between the two Weston men that finally bonds them like they’ve never been before. Will Ferrell shines here, with all the quarks and loud mouthed antics that make his more adult oriented fare so entertaining. As Phil ditches his vitamins for coffee he becomes loud, obnoxious and downright out of control and it all adds up to a great deal of fun. Duvall is also effective as Buck. He’s rude, mean and at times a downright tyrant. The first time I watched this movie his character actually made me angry. Mike Ditka is actually really funny as himself here. All the children are effective and funny in their own rights as well. The story is a sweet one at that, showing the importance of letting your children have fun and be themselves, of not adding undue pressure to their success and never allowing your own insecurities and self doubts to ruin your relationship with your child. It shows the good and bad side of competition and the dangers of taking things too far. But, in the end `Kicking and Screaming’ is just good old fun and is one that the whole family can enjoy together time and time again. I loved this movie (found it much more entertaining than the `Bad News Bears’ remake released around the same time) and highly recommend it. It may not be the best sports comedy out there, but what it lacks in originality it makes up in laughs.
Customer Review: Go Tigers
Will Ferrell What a Character, this movie is funny as hell. It’s just hillarious. I love will funny actor. And lets not forget a legend Robert Duvall wich made the movie even better. Those two have a good chemestrey and the way they compete with each othe in the movie is funny. all in all this movie was great.

I bought this for my cousins sons birthday. He is a proud student of the beautiful game. He can easily handle & control it better than the adult size regulation ball. It is made of high quality materials & was easy to inflate. After four months, he & his aspiring teamates have used it almost daily & it is still in fine condition. The bright colors have also made it easier to use for night practices.
Customer Review: a great youth soccer ball
I purchased this ball for my 3 year old, he seems to be able to handle/control this ball much better than a full size regulation ball. The ball appears to be made of quality materials and was easy to inflate and has kept its shape for a few weeks now without the need to re-inflate. I would buy this ball again.

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: Fun romp
The writers scoured American history for another blend of adventure and historical fiction.

All the familiar characters are back, and they do a great job at picking up a few years later. The interplay between characters is great, as is the addition of Ed Harris as the nemesis. He brings a combination of threat and sympathy to his role.

I had low expectations for this, and was pleasantly surprised. So much so that I look forward to whatever they come up with for the next adventure.

16″ Wooden chess set with chess pieces
Premium 16″ wooden chess set with chess pieces and storage under playing board.
Customer Review: Great Entry-Level Chess Board
I bought this chess set for my 13-year old son’s birthday. I’d looked all over the place in town and on the internet for a nice wooden board/pieces. Most were $40 and up. This one sounded right so I took the plunge and bought it unseen. It’s actually a very nice board/set. It’s made in China (big surprise) and is not heirloom quality. What do you expect for $20 bucks?! However, if you’re looking to step up from a cheap plastic board/set, this is a great one to start with. The board is very nice. Mine sat very level on a flat table. I did NOT want a FOLDING board (screams “cheap”). There’s nothing like playing on a solid, flat board. This one is just right. The pieces are relatively light weight (my reason for 4 stars). Not that the pieces would fall over on their own; they even have a piece of felt underneath each piece to protect the wooden board. Still, if the pieces could have been just a little beefier, they’d be perfect. As is, they’re fine and maybe I’m just being picky. However, this is not a set for the minivan trip. It’s for playing on a solid surface (a table, the floor, etc). The pieces are a nice size to play with and learn with. Speaking of pieces, I did NOT want a board with a drawer underneath for pieces storage. This one has an hollow underside (consider the wooden sides as sides of a wide and shallow square box) with elastic strips to hold each individual piece securely - a pretty cool idea. Even if the elastic is cheap and breaks/comes undone, it would not be hard to replace it yourself. This also makes it easy to account for all the pieces (unlike a boxed set: you just throw the pieces back in the box and hope you didn’t miss any of them). I don’t recommend this set if you have infant children in the house as the pawns are quite small and might pose a danger for very young children. But for elementary-aged kids and up, this is a very nice set for the price. 2-thumbs up for value and overall satisfaction!
Customer Review: Just what we ordered!
This is a beautiful chess set. My only wish would be for the chess pieces to be heavier but it didn’t advertise them as “weighted” so we got exactly what we ordered. It arrived quickly and made it in time for Christmas. We are very pleased with this product and this company!

The Chess Box
This is probably the best Wolf compilation there is in terms of comprehensiveness and digestibility. The problem with collecting the works of prolific artists is that there’s so much material; fortunately, Chess made some good selections. Chronicling Howlin’ Wolf’s career from Memphis, through Chicago, and on into his later years. There are snippets of interviews, as well as the classic tracks you’d expect: “All Night Boogie”, “Howlin’ For My Darling”, “Evil”, “Forty Four”, “Spoonful”, and “I’d Better Go Now.” This box set is a bit much to swallow if you’re not already a fan of the Wolf, but if you are, this is a great way to get his best work in one place. –Genevieve Williams

Customer Review: A very good set
Wolf along with Muddy were stablemates during Chess’s glory years, and this set shows why his reputation as one of the blues’ great masters is inviolable. The set begins in the early 50s with his first recordings for Philip’s Sun studios in Memphis, which are key to understanding his origins in Delta country blues, before switching to his various band formations at Chess through to the early 70s. There are many classics here, including “Evil,” “Sitting on Top of the World,” and “Smokestack Lightin’,” as well as lesser known gems and brief interviews. With partial exception of some lackluster liner notes, this set is necessary for any self-respecting fan of American folk music and blues.
Customer Review: He’s the Wolf
This is not a very tough choice, if you like Howlin’ Wolf or the blues get this box. It has not weak tracks, some fascinating interviews (well The Wolf talking), and many of the classic, indispensable tracks.Plus, there’s, as evidenced here, no other electric blues guitarist nearly as nasty, dirty, just downright awesome as Hubert Sumlin. Buy and enjoy, this is the blues at its best.

Customer Review: Fantastic Product
We purchased a new home, and it has a bar. We wanted something special for bar tools…not the kind of stuff you can buy at a discount store. We saw the chess bar set online and decided to purchase it although it was kind of pricey. We were extremely pleased when it arrived. Everyone who sees it thinks it costs several times more than we paid. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have barware they can be proud of.

Customer Review: Elmo is the coolest!
Our 19-month old daughter LOVES Elmo. He’s become a member of the family and has helped her learn concepts beyond the milestones associated to her age. “Elmo Has Two” teaches a child about hands, ears and feet. All of the Elmo World DVDs are clever and entertaining and follow a repetitive format that a child becomes familiar with which helps with the learning process. My husband and I can actually sit and watch them too! In fact, we have entire Elmo’s World DVD collection.
Customer Review: ELMO’S WORLD IS A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE
We have numerous Elmo’s World DVD and we find them to be a treat to watch (daughter 2). We watch them everyday after coming home from daycare. We say hi to Dorothy each time we see her. We get a kick out of Mr. Noodle and Mr. Noodle’s brother Mr. Noodle. We just love watching the children on the show, brush their teeth, get new clothes on and I especially enjoy watching when Elmo asks the baby. Elmo’s world is very education and plus for any child over 2. My daughter wants to brush her teeth, get her shoes on, get dressed and do everything that the kids and Elmo do on the show. My daughter perfers Elmo, Barney or the Wiggles to regular TV. Two thumbs up, ELMO!
