Jump Ropes - fitness, speed rope

Visit Store Now !!

I read reviews of all the other jump ropes available before purchasing this one. So glad I did! This jump rope is 9ft, easily adjustable for shorter people, and comes with a mini DVD that reminds you of all the different ways to jump rope in case you've forgotten. It's rubber or leather or something similar so it's good for a speed workout. I highly recommend this...oh yeah and I've had it only a few days and the kinks from packaging have already fallen out. Altus Athletic 9-Foot Adjustable Speed Jump Rope with DVD

Just wanted something to get my heart rate up for a few minutes in the morning. At under $10, this Altus jump rope is a nice addition to my exercise repertoire. You can shorten the rope part and still leave overage in the handle in case you change your mind and want to lengthen it somewhat later. The handle has a comfortable grip and weight (not too light, not too heavy). Don't skip this rope barefoot--the plastic rope smacking your toes in a bit painful. Comes with a CD in case you want to progress to trickier moves--leg raised, etc.

I bought 3 other jump ropes in the $10-$20 price range, and this one is the best. It is very smooth with the rotations and has been an excellent work out tool. I am 5'7 and did not need to adjust the length at all, so if you are a couple inches taller you might want a longer one.

This jump rope has a heavy string for fast swinging and light handle for quick movement. I can say this product is a speed,and heavy rope but mainly speed. Perfect for anyone who wants to learn and is decent at jump ropes like myself. Price is alright,worth it in the long run. Comes with instructions to adjust the rope. Pros: Soft grip jump rope that uses bearings so the handle won't cut into the rope like most jump ropes Cons: None so far. I'm pleased with this product

There is a common misconception that the recent increase in human fatalities from encounters with elephants is a result of human expansion into wildlife areas. Although large areas of land that were once home to elephants are diminishing, it is the growing popularity of jump roping that is to blame for these deaths. Already frustrated by their inability to momentarily escape the forces of gravity, elephants are now overcome with jealous rage after having observed the arrogant, graceful movements that are displayed during the act of rope jumping. They aren't just targeting people either. While it fails to make major headlines, elephants are also attacking frogs, kangaroos, cats, and Mexican jumping beans.



Ironically, the best defense against surviving the wrath of these blood-thirsty beasts is to embrace our physical abilities and utilize jump rope training in order to build the strength, stamina, and agility necessary to evade an onslaught. Fortunately, the Altus Athletic 9-Foot Adjustable Speed Jump Rope with DVD has everything you need to help you reach your conditioning goals:



- Cool 90s style handles that include tough neon blue plastic and comfortable foam padding. The handles contain areas where the padding has been purposely shredded to expose the neon blue plastic beneath - this is done purely for aesthetics.

- Easily adjustable cord. The nice thing about the adjustment system is that it gives you a little room for error. It's better to leave the rope length a little longer because you can just stick the excess cord that you aren't using inside the handles.

- A cord that is thick and durable. A fellow rope jumper commented that this rope is a bit heavier than other "speed" ropes, and I would have to agree. Your arms and wrists will get a work-out from using this rope. The cord also has a nice, thick, durable feel, and the kinks came out within the first day.



I really can't think of any substantial complaints regarding the quality or performance of the Altus. The reason it gets four stars instead of five, is that I have used other speed ropes that were lighter, thinner, and easier to turn. In other words, there are other ropes that I prefer over the Altus. However, when it really boils down to it, we're talking about a piece of material connected to some handles that you swing and jump over. This product enables you to do that. Make elephants jealous.

This is a great durable jump rope. I have used it quite a bit and have had no problems. Easy to adjust the height. I have not whipped myself with it, so I don't know how to tell you that would feel. However it is pretty heavy so i'd imagine it would hurt! I use this on cement and it has not frayed or worn in any way. Gets the job done.

This is not really a "high speed lightweight jump rope" as described. With my old cheap speed rope, I usually did 500 singles followed by 50 doubles a set. With this one, I struggle to do 250 singles a set.



The weight may be good for some people, but if you are looking for a truly lightweight jump rope like I was, skip this one.

I have to say this pair was well worth the purchase. Aside being affordable, the rope is comfortable for use especially with the soft grips and the adjustments are easy to manage. Would recommend to anyone who'd prefer a less expensive and more affordable jump rope. - Jump Rope - Jump Ropes - Fitness - Speed Rope'

This dress is adorable, however there is no lining under the pink crinoline and my daughter finds it SO itchy and uncomfortable that she starts crying every time I get the dress out. The seam where the pink tutu is attached to the white top is unfinished and prickly. I've decided to get a pair of white tights to go underneath it, and hopefully that will remedy the problem. VERY cute dress though! Wild Child Zebra Tutu Dress, Pink/White, 12-18 Months

I bought this dress for my daughter's first birthday. She LOVED it the second she laid eyes on it. Normally she wears a size 18 months, but I opted to purchase this in the 12-18 month size. Glad it did - it was a bit big! Got a ton of compliments on it - she looked so cute! The tutu came very wrinkled, but fluffed up easily with my steamer.'

I write math formulas on the inside over of my notebook. The 'fine point' markers are too fat for this, but these 'ultra fine point' markers are just right. I can also use them to write in my notebook without having them go though several sheets of paper. Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Permanent Markers, 12 Colored Markers(37175PP)

Sharpies always get five stars from me. There is no better pen for editing or for putting a permanent mark with. The thinner point markers are more like pens and can be used for anything you would use a pen on. They do bleed through thin paper, though.

I love Sharpies in general and like the fine point and variety of colors on these. However I just wanted to let people know you may or may not get the "Caribbean colors" shown in this picture. I bought this exact item but received "80's Glam" colors. They're still decent, but if you're looking for something very specific it's good to be aware of. - Permanent Markers - Marker Pens'

Skeleton Automatic - kenneth cole, automatic movement

Visit Store Now !!

As of May 2009, I've owned this watch for a month, and I'll be interested to see how well this watch holds up over the years. It cost me around 100 bucks, and at that price, I don't expect perfection, but I'm hoping if I take care of it that it might last a decade. It certainly looks like it is of solid construction.

I spent two weeks researching skeleton watches on Amazon and other sites, and this watch stood out as being stylish and refined without being too expensive or too large, as others can be. Some other models have 2 or 3 extra dials for date, hours and minutes, but I really focused on enjoying the cleanest display of the inner workings, and this watch rose above the rest.

The outer number face is a handsome, brushed ring that looks elegant and manly, and leaves lots of room to enjoy viewing of the inner works. Unclear in the pictures, the backside of this case is glass, so you can see all the way through, which really pleased me. The front viewable works is 31/32", and the back is 3/4". I was very pleased with it's size, very similar to digital watches, just shy of 1 5/8" diameter.

The band is a wonderfully soft leather padded affair, even though my experience with leather is that it doesn't age well and ends up odorous no matter how careful you are with it. Yet it really does fit the overall look and I may begin a new policy to replace it exactly when it does expire.

It seems that the automatic winding works very well if you wear it continually. If you take it off you have about 40 hours before the spring unwinds, but you can't expect any more from mechanical movements.

My only criticism is that the Kenneth Cole signature is printed on the glass front, slightly obscuring the spring winding. It just ever so slightly blemishes the perfection of the face.

For me it's the perfect watch, a wonderful fit for dressier occasions, without being overly precious. The gunmetal face is wonderfully masculine and understated, while the movement is shiny and captivating, with one gold wheel drawing your eye with its accelerated movement.

An exceptional watch that perfectly bridges the gap between casual and dressy. I look forward to re-reviewing this watch in a year to see if it holds up to my expectations. I sincerely hope that it does. Kenneth Cole New York Men's KC1514 Automatic Gunmetal Dial Leather Strap Watch

I bought this for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves skeleton watches so I search every store and all over the internet, everytime I saw this watch I had to stare at it. Especially when it arived it took me forever to wrap it because I couldn't take my eyes off it! He loves it. He was really impressed with it and gushes over it everytime he shows his buddies. I highly recommend this watch, and for this price, its a steal.

Got one as a Christmas present. Fully wound it and wore it but it intermittently stopped & lost ~30 minutes a day. Took it back to the store for a replacement, ran fine at the store but then the second hand ran but the hour/minute hands didn't. Got my money back. I liked the looks of the watch.

Just got this watch and really enjoy it. I paid $100 at Macy's for it even at 25% off so the deal here is good. The skeleton workings are very neat to look at- there is a gold gear on the bottom that turns perpetually and the workings on the back are also visible. If I had to do it over again I may have opted for one of the identical models but with a larger face to make more of an impact, but that's probably personal preference. It should also be noted that the Kenneth Cole name and "New York" are printed on the glass face in black which is not directly in the way of anything on the watch but do distact the eye briefly. In response to the comment that said he had 2 that were broken out of the box even after he wound it: This is not a wind up watch but rather operates on movement therefore he either has a different watch or may have damaged in his attempt to wind it. Another customer noted the roman numeral IIII instead of IV. The "4" does appear as IIII, however this is common for watches and clocks. Arguments suggest that it gives the numerals greater balance,mirroring the VIII on the other side while some other's say it's a throwback to earlier Roman numbering, but you can look that up with a google search.

I was a bit hesitant to get this watch after reading some of the reviews about the watch not working but I haven't experienced any issues with it thus far. I was expecting more parts to move too so that would be the only let down I can think of.



There's a tiny gold wheel and a silver gear that move the second hand, otherwise not much else moves. Definitely worth getting the watch on sale but I wouldn't pay full price. The watch has a nice solid feel and looks very classy. One of the nicest looking ones I've seen anywhere for this price.

I've seen both versions of this watch, the darker peripheral face with stainless steal gears and the lighter face version with brown strap which makes the gears look lighter as well. Both are really amazing to look at from the top or underneath as there is a window there too, really a personal preference. I was pretty torn but bought the darker faceplate. I think the white faceplate may look a little bit classier if that is what you want.



Before buying this watch I had bought the Rougois XL Skeleton Automatic Dual Time Zone Watch RGSA47 which in all respects is a better skeleton watch on its own. The problem with that watch was its size, it was really a "just look at me" watch. This watch here has a great size and look.



Very pleased with its workings, keeps great time, have had it for six months now. Just have to set it if I haven't used it for a couple days as it is an automatic.

The first one I received looked great and looked like it worked - with the huge exception that it lost about 8 minutes AN HOUR! So, of course, it was returned (which was really easy, thank you Amazon).



The 2nd one came in the mail and it has worked really well. It loses about a minute a week - which is really good for an all mechanical watch. Set it 2 or 3 minutes ahead and I don't have to set it more than once a month.



It's a good looking watch and is easily worth the money. (<$100) If you try to compare it to $1,000 watches, it'll fall flat... but, for it's price range - it's awesome. The entire movement is skeletonized and it's marvelous to watch it run. There's also a nice window on the back that allows you to see the automatic weight and some of the movement from manual winding.



It was annoying that the first one didn't work - but I don't know if that's a 1 in a 1,000 problem, or a 1 in 2 problem... but, now that I have a working one, it looks great with jeans or cufflinks and a suit.



I recommend this watch - but, hope you don't get a bad one... but, if you do get a bad one, Amazon makes it nearly painless to return. - Skeleton Automatic - Dress Watches - Automatic Movement - Kenneth Cole'

Thoroughbred Racing - ruffian, thoroughbred racing

Visit Store Now !!

While this book will provoke arguments among racing fans as to which horses merit the "greatest" label, this is indispensible to anyone who loves thoroughbred racing. While most of the horses were and are familiar names to racing fans, some are not so well-known. Each horse is described in brief yet highly detailed biographies, and there are photographs galore.As I said, there will be arguments as to which horses were the best, and the authors note how low the fillies, especially Ruffian, arguably a top 10 horse, ended up on the list. There was also some controversy over Secretariat's ranking, as one of the seven experts did not even list him in the top 10, thus he managed to finish only number two on the list, behind Man O' War (this immediately calls into question the "expertise" of the unidentified panelist).But that's what these lists are for, to provoke discussion and even argument. I found this book endlessly fascinating. Thoroughbred Champions: Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century

"Thoroughbred Champions" does a meticulous job of presenting the top one hundred Thoroughbreds who raced in America (at least once) during the 20th century. Each racehorse is pictured with accompanying statistics. Stories flesh out the statistics and try to give us a feeling for the drama inherent in owning, or working with, or following the career of one of these beautiful animals. One of my favorite stories describes Personal Ensign's final race:"Four lengths were all that separated Personal Ensign from a perfect career. With an eight of a mile to go in the 1988 Breeders' Cup distaff, it seemed an impossible amount of ground for the bay filly to close on the leader, Winning Colors. It took about fourteen seconds for that final eighth to be run, but it seemed like an eternity. Personal Ensign closed the gap relentlessly, inching slowly toward Winning Colors, and at the wire, she thrust a desperate nose in front of her younger rival."I watched that last race of hers on T.V. I was recovering from abdominal surgery at the time, and I think I must have busted a stitch or two trying to 'help' Personal Ensign down that muddy track and over the finish line ahead of her rival (who had already won the 1988 Kentucky Derby).Because these equine champions mean so much to some of us, there has been and will be lots of disagreement over the order in which they were placed on the list. Why, for instance does Easy Goer appear ahead of both Ruffian and Personal Ensign, not to mention Busher, Twilight Tear, and Dahlia? Both Busher and Twilight Tear were voted Horse of the Year---an honor that eluded Easy Goer.Here is the list as compiled by the seven panel members chosen by "The Blood-Horse":1. Man o'War, 2. Secretariat, 3. Citation, 4. Kelso, 5. Count Fleet, 6. Dr. Fager, 7. Native Dancer, 8. Forego, 9. Seattle Slew, 10. Spectacular Bid, 11. Tom Fool, 12. Affirmed, 13. War Admiral, 14. Buckpasser, 15.

Blue Larkspur.You can always buy the book, then cut and paste the list so that your favorite champions are more correctly placed.Several authors were involved in telling the stories of the top one hundred Thoroughbred champions.. Its stories pay tribute to a remarkable breed of athletes, and if you were fortunate to watch Secretariat win the Belmont or Personal Ensign win the Breeders' Cup Distaff, this book will mean all that more to you.

That should have been the title of this book. I just received my copy and have been so deeply absorbed in it that the afternoon just flew by on golden hoofs. I've been an enthusiast of thoroughbred racing since, at a very tender age, my dad brought me to the stables at Belmont Park to see a friend who works there. They showed me a huge gray horse and I was so small I looked up into that massive animal's face, felt his warm breath on my face...and fell totally in love. The horse was Native Dancer, the love affair continues though I am now getting closer to retirement age. This wonderful book will take you from one champ to the next and all I could say was "I agree, I agree" as I moved down the list of the top 100. Though I knew most, there were some I did not know and those interested me the most. The list, together with pictures, pedigree and a small writeup on each makes this book a keeper! an encyclopedia of the 100 greatest thoroughbreds!

I was so thrilled to find such a well-written & reserached guide to some of the best TB race-horses of our century! Hurray! It's complete - informative (I have read & reserached A LOT and learned things about my mare's grandsire that I didn't know - and I really enjoyed the photos of each horse. Thanks! - Race Horses - Secretariat - Ruffian - Thoroughbred Racing'

I don't know what the other guy's bad review is all about. This tv just came out in february and is a no bells and whistles Sony Bravia. No led backlighting, no swivel stand, no internet apps etc. just a solid lcd tv with a great picture. I like it just as much as my two panasonic plasmas except for the viewing angles. They are not bad, just not as good as the plasma's. The picture is great right out of the box. Nice and natural. Believe it or not I couldn't really improve the picture no matter how much I played with it. In the end, I just lowered the color saturation a few notches and changed the tone to warm 1 and that was it. I noticed no motion Blur even though it is only 60hz. This is such a solid set that in this case I feel the old adage, less is more, really applies. At this price point I "FULLY" recommend this Television. Sony BRAVIA KDL46BX420 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Black

I have a number of Sony products, including an XBR 52" HD in my family room. I have a covered deck that is open on two contiguous sides and wanted to add a big screen out there. This TV is the lowest priced Sony on the market right now in the 46" range. I was concerned that it wouldn't be bright enough for an "outdoor" set. It's plenty bright. In fact, I have toned down the brightness for aesthetic reasons and am very happy with the result. I can float in my pool(30 feet away)and watch the San Francisco Giants play baseball. My barbecue is about 25 feet away and I can stand there and watch TV with no problems. The TV is mounted on a Sanus VMSA Silver Flat-panel Wall Mount w/Tilt/Swivel/Arm on an exterior wall under the eaves, so I can swivel or tilt it to gain maximum relief from reflections, depending on the time of day.



The picture is typically Sony--excellent--the features all work very well, and I have it ported to my deck stereo system for the sound which is outstanding. This TV replaced a 24" CRT Sony that has been on that wall for 6 years. I like my XBR best, but this 46" is everything I wanted it to be. Outstanding value.



Amazon's price and 30-day return policy was critical to my purchase, just in case the TV would not have been bright enough outdoors. Delivery was on time and everything was in excellent condition when received.

I actually own the 40 inch version of this TV and it's exactly the same only 6 inches smaller so I think that qualifies me to offset some of the silly 1 star reviews here.

Here is my review for the Sony KDL-40BX42.



I just replaced a 32 inch Toshiba with this 40 inch Sony KDLBX420 and I am on cloud nine. After a little calibration (the factory settings on TV's are always lousy) it looks amazing. I have it hooked up to my PS3 via hdmi and it's like I'm in a movie theater when watching Blu-Rays. Sound from the speakers is just fine but lets face it, you want a proper sound system. But this one is adequate for built in speakers on an LCD. Games look amazing too. During really dark scenes you'll notice a tiny backlight bleed in the four corners. This is an inherent flaw in LCD technology and pretty much all brands suffer from it to some degree from Panasonic, to Samsung. to Toshiba. Other than that this LCD is simply awesome. You cannot go wrong with this purchase.

For those seeing the 1 or 2 star reviews, do yourself a favor and ignore them as they address aspects of the TV that are common knowledge to anyone who has done their research and are flaws present when shopping for ANY TV of this type.

This is doubly true for the speakers - if you're expecting a massive wall of sound from any TV's internal speakers then it's a wonder you were intelligent enough to type a review on Amazon.



Now, on the the important stuff.



From a presentation standpoint, the TV is understated and classy. The glossy black bezel is attractive in it's simplicity, with the only deviation of color being a thin strip (about 1cm) of dark gray at the bottom of the TV. The gray strip house the sensor bar and small power leds.



This is a 'budget' TV, and with that classification aside, the image quality on this TV is amazing. After some careful calibration, the picture shows deep, dark blacks, vivid color, sharply honed detail, and extremely smooth motion.

Despite having a lower refresh rate than higher-end sets, this TV gives fluid, artifact free motion - even in action scenes with lots of quick camera cuts.

The image quality is on-par with much more expensive sets, and given the actual price of this set, the image quality alone makes this TV worth a buy.



However, there are caveats and they present themselves most notably in the inputs - or should I say, the lack thereof.



It's with the inputs where you realize where Sony skimped in order to deliver a set of this size at this price.

You get 2 HDMI, 1 Component, 1 Composite, 1 Coaxial, Analog and Digital Audio inputs, a VGA, and a USB input.

This input scenario posed problems for me, as I have far more devices than this TV can accommodate on it's own.



I have 3 HDMI devices), 1 Component device, 2 Composite devices, and 2 coaxial devices. In order to hook everything up to this TV I had to purchase an HDMI switch, along with a composite splitter and a coaxial hub.

Needless to say not everyone will have a plethora of video game consoles hooked up to their TV, but I do, and the lack of inputs made for one heck of wire mess behind my TV.

However, my last TV had 3 HDMIs, 3 Components, 3 Composites, 2 S-Video, 2 Coaxial, Digital and Analog audio, and a DVI. So I could just be experiencing 'Input Shock' after having so many options.



As an aside, the VGA input works well, and integrating the computer with this TV is quick and painless. The resolution is fine so long as you have a video card capable of supporting such a large picture, but that isn't really an issue unless you're using this TV to play PC games.





In conclusion the 46bx420 is an excellent TV on it's own, and it's even better when you consider the image quality you're getting for the price. The lack of inputs is disappointing if unsurprising, but for the average user the available inputs will likely be more than enough. Again, the sound from the internal speakers is lacking but as I said, that's a no-brainer - you really should have a proper surround sound system hooked up to this TV if you're watching movies or HD media on it anyway.

This TV is a great buy, and easily outperforms the competing models in it's class, and it does it for less to boot. Pick it up if you're in the market for a TV in this size - you won't be disappointed. - 120hz - Hdtv'
