Diggins calm as she readies for last shot at titleAP Photo
Notre Dames Skylar Diggins is fouled by Connecticuts Bria Hartley during the final of the Big East Conference tournament in Hartford, Conn.SOUTH BEND, Ind. Skylar Diggins enters her final NCAA tournament with a sense of calmness after losses in the championship game the past two seasons.
Im really coming in with a light mood, approaching practice wanting to have fun and enjoy this moment, because its my last go around. But the sense of urgency is greater, Diggins said Friday before practice. But I dont think Im putting any more pressure on myself or on our team than anyone else is.
Diggins, one of four finalists for the Naismith Award, has led the Fighting Irish (31-1) to its best regular-season ever, with Notre Dame posting its first undefeated Big East season and winning the league tournament for the first time, beating rival UConn three times along the way.
Diggins believes winning the league tournament is an example of this squads will to win and gives it momentum heading into the NCAA tournament, where the Irish open against Tennessee-Martin (19-14) on Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa. Notre Dame, which has won a school-record 26 straight, is a No. 1 seed for the second straight season and for the third time in program history.
Diggins, who was has started a school-record 139 games and played in 15 NCAA tournament games, said she isnt feeling any nervousness about her last chance.
The calmness comes with experience. I know what I have to do in my job, she said.
Coach Muffet McGraw, who guided the Irish to a national championship in 2001, said Diggins had been feeling under the weather all week. All Diggins would say Friday was that she is feeling fine.
McGraw knows Diggins is putting pressure on herself heading into the tournament. McGraw believes thats a good thing because its what makes her one of the nations best players.
She embraces that challenge. She wants to be great. She wants to be the best player and she wants us to be the best team. So I think for her, shes going to go into this tournament like she does for every other one with an incredible sense of urgency and ready to go, McGraw said. She doesnt have to prove herself to anybody. She can just relax.
Diggins heads into the tournament 53 points shy of breaking the school scoring record of 2,322 held by current assistant coach Beth Morgan Cunningham (1993-97). She already holds the school record for career steals with 365 and needs 20 assists to move past assistant coach Niele Ivey (1996-2001) into second on the schools all-time list.
As good as Diggins has been in four seasons for the Irish, averaging 15.7 points a game on 44.8 percent shooting with 4.9 assists a game and 3.2 turnovers, shes been even better at tournament time. In NCAA tournament games, Diggins is averaging 17.4 points on 46 percent shooting with 5.7 assists and 3.6 turnovers.
Teammates say as much as they want to simply win a championship, they want to win one even more for Diggins.
Thats our end goal every year, but it makes it special this year, junior forward Natalie Achonwa said. Skylars been such a great contributor to our program, not only this team, but the teams in the past as well.
Diggins doesnt feel the need to stress to her teammates how much she and fellow senior Kaila Turner want a national championship. I think they can feel our sense of urgency, she said.MORE IN Sports WirePONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Full StoryLAS VEGAS The people who paid $99.95 to watch at home had no clue.

Perfect pencil skirt
I'm not an east fit for pencil skirts because I have hips and a smaller waist, but this one fit! I'm 41, 5'7" and 148 pounds, and ordered an 8. Love it! Wish they offered more colors - khaki, dark gray, prints, etc I would buy one in each color.
July 27, 2013
Work Must-Have
I love wearing this skirt to work everyday! I have this skirt in 3 different colors. Fits well and lasts for a long time. Favorite thing is that it doesn't wrinkle easily.
June 21, 2013
Workplace Staple
I have this in several colors because I love the fit - no unflattering bulges, clinging, etc., and the perfect length for a professional. I can wear it with the matching suit jacket or practically anything else. The material is a nice quality for the price, and softer than many pencil skirts. Absolutely great. I will say that the grey seems to fit a tiny bit (not a full size, but if you're in between as it is...) smaller than the same skirt in black, so you may consider that in ordering.
March 10, 2013
Love this item!
I had bought this skirt a year ago in a size 6. I lost weight and gave it away. I missed it so much I was very excited to purchase in a size 4 :).
February 26, 2013
Zipper jammed twice!
I love the color and style of this skirt and have the matching jacket. HOWEVER, the skirt's zipper jammed on me the very first day I wore it. So, I took it to the store and exchanged it for a new one. And THAT zipper jammed the second time I wore it! I have several Limited skirts and this is the first time this has happened to me, they must have used a bad zipper on this one. They are all out of my size now and at this point it's not even worth the hassle to try to find another so I'm going to get the zipper replaced.

I got these pics of the same buck a couple of weeks apart. The camera I am using is the Moultrie I-40 Game Camera, this unit is the most reliable trail camera I have had the experience of using. Obviously he wasn't scared by the glow of the infrared bulbs. It is set up on a mineral lick next to a trail with a Trophy Rock added for extra attraction. It's neat to see just how fast those antlers grow. He put on quite a few inches from the first set to the second set of pics.
From the timing on the pictures, I think he must be bedding in the area someplace and spending a good deal of time there. Hopefully he'll stick around for a few more months.
The beams really came around and the points got longer in the second set, below. He is a very symetrical 10 point that won't have very many deductions.

Why is MPC perceived to be the best?, (an off-topic audio encoding discussion) |
Why is MPC perceived to be the best?, (an off-topic audio encoding discussion) |

Group: Banned Posts: 769 Joined: 1-July 03 Member No.: 7495 |
This is a question that has floated through my mind for most of a year, but only yesterday became more clear to me.
Actually, it's a two-part question... ... 1. Is MPC commonly accepted among the HA community as the best psychoacoustic encoding format? (i.e., the most efficient at achieving perceptual transparency.) ... 2. If so, why? The first item I've heard stated quite frequently, but have never seen any results of "transparency threshold tests" that would reveal the superior efficiency of MPC. I've heard that MPC uses superior encoding technology, but I'm referring more to the end result of such development efforts...the perceived sound quality, as measured against other codecs at the point of perceptual transparency for a significant number of people. These concerns on my part were born from a post I made here, where the points of MPC statistically tying other formats at 128kbps, but no other known test results existing, were brought up. The thread portion ended up in the recycle bin, but I'm taking the chance that my concerns about calling MPC "the best" weren't the reason it was put there. Hence, I want to bring up this idea in a different context in the off-topic forum (in the hope that this will be the correct area for it). What I'd like to see, for instance, for the education of myself and others, would be a results summary like the following (though this is a very simplistic example)... Format............Perceptual Transparency Threshold (nominal bitrate across samples tested) MPC.................nnn kbps AAC.................nnn kbps Vorbis..............nnn kbps ...and so forth Granted, VBR is more efficient at mid-bitrates and up, and quality-based VBR modes aren't bitrate centric, but we need some means of measurement and comparison between codecs in this context, so if not calling it "nominal bitrate", then perhaps "average filesize per minute of audio across all samples" Perceptual Transparency Threshold could have a fixed target, like >90% samples with 5.0 subjective ratings, and non-differentiable from reference with ABX testing. This kind of test has been discussed before, and has been mostly viewed as having little "real-world value". And I agree. Roberto's tests are much more relevant for most music listeners, and for determining the best formats for useful purposes like streaming audio, portable players, etc. Many of us (including me) have trouble testing even these bitrate ranges, so higher ones would be even more tedious, and would answer not as many pressing questions. My point, though, is how can MPC be called "the best for achieving transparency" without a test such as this? (Because so far it's been shown to be only "among the best" at lower rates.) |

QUOTE (ScorLibran) QUOTE (Kalamity @ Feb 9 2004, 03:00 AM) Some of these codecs have an 'advertised' setting that is supposed to be transparent, coincidentally averaging around 160-200kbps. Perhaps holding them to this would be appropriate here? True, but I would not base this test on how the codecs are marketed. They can call whatever they like "transparent" or "CD quality". But ABX results don't lie. My point was perhaps missed. You will need to start somewhere, preferably close to the threshold of transparency to save time. By starting from a particular codec's 'advertised' transparent setting, you immediately put to test the veracity of this claim. By 'advertised' I mean using official encoder settings, like with Nero's AAC Transparent, as well as common knowledge settings like Vorbis Q6 and MPC Q5. Later tests would merely isolate the general location of this threshold. This would be a fair starting point for all involved. If an 'advertised' transparent setting is used, no claims of bias could be lodged. Transparent is transparent is transparent; if someone can hear the difference, then this claim is false. If this happens to result in some codecs utilizing an overly high bitrate, then so be it. The next test (below) will show if this was truly necessary. QUOTE QUOTE (Kalamity @ Feb 9 2004, 03:00 AM) A pass or failure would determine an appropriate direction (lower or higher) for a second test to determine operational tolerance. That's exactly what I had in mind. This is the merely the second step of the above process, to follow the above initial step. Neither tests are intended to stand solely by themselves, although claims of transparency could be proven or disproven for the settings used in the first step. As to issues of encoder version variance: establish a cutoff point (such as today) where only the major or stable versions of official encoders that were generally available as of that date will be used. Valid or not, the assumption can be made that later encoder releases should, if nothing else, be no worse than prior versions. Maintain the test as a snapshot of the world of audio compression on this, a normal and unimportant day. Talk of 3 or more settings used per codec is already making my ears ache and my mind wander. Keeping the test groups to a small, friendly number would open your test up to a larger and more active, audience. This would be good for maintaining relevance. Anything else would merely be a test of those few indvididuals willing to stick it out, and they will almost be guaranteed to break the curve (you know who you are).

The name Kiyoshi is of Japanese origin.
The meaning of Kiyoshi is "pure, saintly".
In the U.S. in 2013, it ranked 6418 in baby name popularity for boys with 13 occurrences. Less than 5 girls were given the name.
View the Kiyoshi Name Popularity Page to see how the popularity trend for Kiyoshi has changed since 1880, or to compare the popularity of Kiyoshi to other names.
Just for fun, see the name Kiyoshi in Hieroglyphics, learn about ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics and write a Hieroglyphic message.
Learn about nautical flags and see your name or message written in nautical flags, on the Kiyoshi in Nautical Flags page.

Japanese names are usually written in Kanji which is a writing system consisting of characters of Chinese origin with Japanese pronunciations. Each Kanji character represents a whole word or idea. Most names have two Kanji characters, some have one and some three. Since most Kanji symbols have a variety of pronunciations, it is difficult to determine the pronunciation of a name from Kanji alone. For this reason Hiragana or Katakana may be used as each character in these systems represent a syllable.
Determining how to spell a Japanese name once knowing the pronunciation is difficult for the same reason. Any number of Kanji characters (with different meanings) may produce the same name. For this reason, Japanese names often have multiple meanings specified when transliterated to English.
Sources of Japanese names include nature, well-wishes for the baby such as happiness, success or wisdom, a pleasing sound, popular Kanji characters such as yuu (gentle) or mi (beauty) for girls or ta (great) for boys, or to honor a family member, historical figure or celebrity. Some parents also look to fortune tellers to determine a name for their baby.
Common name suffixes include -ko for girls and -shi or -o for boys. Corresponding nicknames or hypocoristics may be formed by adding the suffix -chan to any name.
Although Japanese often proves difficult for non-native speakers, it is fun to learn to read the easier symbols. For example, the three kanji 田(ta: rice field) 中(naka: middle) and 村(mura: village) form a number of simple surnames including Tanaka, Nakamura, Murata and Tamura.

R1/10 is mainly for circular/ cropped circular fisheyes which has wide enough vertical angle of view to cover the zenith and nadir. For full frame fisheye users, it is only for outdoor panos when there is nothing important at the zenith to care about parallax. you can tilt from -65 deg to +90 deg (offset from NPP) for R1. You can take handheld zenith and nadir shots for R10. The rotator supports 2, 3, 4, 6 shots around. It is universal for all fisheye lens.
R1/10 is not to replace multi-row spherical head such as NN3/5. It is only for small group of fisheye lenses. There is no plan to support rectilinear lens.
if you are not sure how it works, wait until more info is available--manual, video, review or demonstration panos by users.

Major Section: NOTE-2-8
WARNING: You may find that control-d
(in emacs, control-c control-d
can throw you completely out of Lisp where it had not formerly done so.
(CLISP and Allegro CL only) ACL2 now starts up inside the ACL2 loop -- that
is, (
is executed automatically -- when built on CLISP or
Allegro CL. This was already the case for GCL and CMUCL, and it still is not
true for Lispworks. Thanks to Joe Corneli for bringing the CLISP
command-line option "-i"
to our attention, which led to this CLISP
change and inspired reconsideration of how to do this for Allegro CL.
Pete Manolios and Daron Vroon have changed the representation of ordinals in ACL2, defined algorithms for ordinal arithmetic, and created a library of theorems to reason about ordinal arithmetic. We thank them for these nice contributions. See note-2-8-ordinals for details, in particular, for how to preserve existing proofs that depend on the previous ordinal representation.
Sometimes users create rules of class :
that cause an
infinite loop in the ACL2 rewriter. This has lead to Lisp stack overflows
and even segmentation faults. Now, the depth of calls of functions in the
ACL2 rewriter is limited, and under user control. See rewrite-stack-limit.
Macros mbe
(``must be equal'') and mbt
(``must be true'') have
been introduced, which allow the user to attach fast executable definitions
to (presumably slower) :
mode functions. Thanks to Vernon
Austel for a key idea. Also provided is a macro defexec
, which employs
but enforces the requirement that the executable definition also
terminates. Thanks to Jose Luis Ruiz Reina for collaborating in the design
and development of defexec
, and for useful comments from a number of
others as well in the development of mbe
including Joe Hendrix and Rob
Definitions have been added for functions rassoc-eq
, which are like rassoc
but use different tests
and have different guards. (Compare assoc-eq
and assoc-equal
which are in similar relation to assoc
The user can now control multiple matching for free variables in hypotheses
for :
rules, as has already been supported for
and :
rules. For :forward-chaining
rules, ``free variables'' are those in the hypotheses not bound by a given
trigger term. As for :rewrite
and :linear
rules, free-variable
matching may be limited to the first successful attempt by specifying
:match-free :once
with :forward-chaining
in the
, and add-match-free-override
may be used to
modify the behavior of an existing rule. Thanks to Erik Reeber for most of
the implementation of these new capabilities, as well as significant
assistance with a corresponding new documentation topic
(see free-variables-examples-forward-chaining).
It is no longer necessary to specify (set-match-free-error nil)
in order
to avoid errors when a rule with free variables in its hypotheses is missing
the :match-free
field. (This was already true during book certification,
but now it is the case in interactive sessions as well.)
The form (break-on-error)
causes, at least for most Lisps, entry into
the Lisp debugger whenever ACL2 causes an error. See break-on-error. Thanks
to John Erickson for providing encouragement to provide this feature.
A new table
has been provided so that advanced users can override the
built-in untranslate
functionality. See user-defined-functions-table.
The pstack
mechanism (formerly denoted checkpoints
) has been
improved. The ``process [prover] stack,'' or pstack, is automatically
printed when proofs abort. Evaluation of function calls on explicit
arguments during proofs is now tracked. Actual parameters are shown with
(pstack t)
rather than formals. Thanks to Bill Legato for
suggesting the first two of these improvements and, in general, encouraging
changes that make ACL2 easier to use.
The defstobj
event is now allowed to take an :inline
which can speed up execution. Thanks to Rob Sumners for suggesting and
implementing this new feature.
Macro assert$
has been added in order to make it easy to write
assertions in one's code. Semantically, (assert$ test form)
is the same
as form
, but it causes a hard error (using illegal
) if test
evaluates to nil
Macro cw-gstack
no longer takes arguments for the gstack or state
However, it now takes a keyword argument (which is optional),
, that can be used to control how it prints terms. In
particular, cw-gstack
abbreviates large terms by default, but
(cw-gstack :evisc-tuple nil)
causes terms to be printed in full.
Thanks to Robert Krug and Eric Smith for requesting this improvement.
The advanced user now has more control over the evisceration of terms. See ld-evisc-tuple, in particular the new paragraph on ``The printing of error messages and warnings.''
The include-book
event now has an additional (optional) keyword,
. The value of :dir
should be a keyword that is associated with
an absolute directory pathname to be used in place of the current book
directory (see cbd) for resolving the first argument of include-book
an absolute pathname. At start-up, the only such keyword is :system
, so
that for example (include-book "arithmetic/top" :dir :system)
include the book "arithmetic/top"
under the "books/"
directory of
your ACL2 installation. But you can associate ``projects'' with keywords
using add-include-book-dir
, e.g.,
(add-include-book-dir :my-project "/u/smith/project0/")
See add-include-book-dir and also see delete-include-book-dir and
see include-book. Note: You will probably not find :dir :system
to be
useful if the distributed books are not placed in the path of their original
location, pointed to by :dir :system
, which will often happen if the
executable image is obtained from another site. Also see include-book, in
particular its ``soundness warning''.
The printing of results in raw mode (see set-raw-mode) may now be partially controlled by the user: see add-raw-arity. Also, newlines are printed when necessary before the value is printed.
For those using Unix/Linux make
: A cert.acl2
file can contain forms
to be evaluated before an appropriate certify-book
command is invoked
automatically (not included in cert.acl2
Jared Davis has contributed a new set of books for ordered finite set theory
to the standard distribution, books/finite-set-theory/osets-0.81/
. See
the README
file in that directory. Thanks, Jared.
Robert Krug has contributed two related changes (thanks, Robert!) in support
of stronger arithmetic reasoning. First, one can now enable and disable
nonlinear arithmetic with a :nonlinearp
hint, which will override the
default provided by set-non-linearp
(initially, nil
). See hints.
Second, computed-hints can now have access to the HISTORY
and CTX
variables of the waterfall, which (for example) allows the
writing of a hint which will enable nonlinear arithmetic on precisely those
goals that are stable-under-simplificationp

Book Review: How to Get More Profit from Your Acupuncture Clinic, Even If You Have Little or No Money!
by Matthew Bauer
Some time ago Gavin Hurlimann, author of "How to get more profit from your Acupuncture clinic, even if you have little or no money!" contacted me asking if I would consider writing a review of his aforementioned book. He thought to ask me because he wanted to have the review written by someone who did not know him personally and being that I live in the United States and him in New Zealand. I have never met Gavin so I fit the bill. I was happy to oblige but wondered if successful clinic marketing methods might differ on opposite sides of the equator. After reading Gavin's well researched and comprehensive marketing manual, my concerns were put to rest. It seems sound marketing principals hold true no matter which direction one's bath water drains.

We talked a little last week about Yurts -- those are wood-framed structures covered in a high-grade canvas.
Crews are finishing up two yurts at Four Mile Creek State Park in Youngstown and two more will be up soon in Golden Hill State Park in northeastern Niagara County.
Yurts are like mini-cabins and they'll have wood floors, porches and some cabin-like amenities. They should be ready to rent out by next spring.
Angela Berti of New York State Parks said the Yurts are just part of a bigger improvement plan at Golden Hill.
Also going in there is a new state-of-the-art restroom with showers and Berti said that will help with the entire camping experience.
"Our camping parks are so popular, and Golden Hill is popular," Berti said. "And restroom facilities are a priority. When we do have that extra capital money, that's where we're looking to use that. What benefits the patrons the most. We're looking at infrastructure and restrooms.
"And I hear that this one's going to be a doozy."
For more info on Golden Hill, you can call 795-3885 or nysparks.com.

AudioQuest carefully engineered their cables based on years of their own in-house research to transfer signals as cleanly and faithfully as possible. Solid conductors improve accuracy and clarity Type 4 cables feature four solid, long-grain copper conductors to ensure highly efficient signal transfer with minimal loss. Solid conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic interference that can add brittleness to the sound with multi-strand conductor cables. Precise cable geometry These AudioQuest cables use two 17-gauge and two 20-gauge conductors.

In 1988 I bought a pair of JBL L100t speakers and used good quality Monster Cable speaker wire to connect them to my Harman Kardon receiver.

Earlier, I bought a Yamaha, Model RX-797 receiver to replace the HK and last year I broke down to buy a pair of AudioQuest, Type 4 speaker cables. No, I'm not an audiophile, but I do appreciate good sound and the difference in sound quality with Type 4 was noticeable--not night and day, but high frequency sounds were cleaner, the midrange was clear and strong, and the base was somewhat tighter. Was it worth the price? It was for me: I recently bought another pair of AQ Type-4 speaker cable to upgrade my new home theater system that includes a Samsung UN65F9000 4K-UHD TV. I'm so impressed with AudioQuest that I also ordered AQ Golden Gate stereo interconnect cable with RCA plugs to upgrade connections to a HK 3470 receiver and a pair of JBL L100t3 speakers used as part of my home theater. Yes, I'm sticking with stereo instead of going to surround sound--don't want all those speakers. FYI: A few years ago I did an extensive comparison of my old JBLs to the latest in home speakers; better sound would have cost about $5000. I also purchased AudioQuest Cinnamon HDMI cable to connect a new Yamaha, BD-S677 Blue-ray player to the TV. I'm convinced that quality cable is worth the price when connecting quality components. Pros: Quality construction is obvious when you see and touch AudioQuest Type 4 cables. Their performance in transferring undistorted sound makes AudioQuest Type 4 speaker cable the perfect choice for those who appreciate listening to breathtaking stereo sound. Cons: Somewhat pricey, but in my opinion, worth it.
Great Wire Written By Gary M., Edwardsville, PA on Friday, April 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding speaker wire with great connectors. Huge difference in sound and response! Pros: Connectors plug into speakers very well and the quality of this wire is second to none Cons: Very expensive
Fantastic Cable - A Must Have Written By NRana, Denver, CO on Tuesday, April 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wish I'd got this earlier when I assembled my system. Noticable improvements in highs and bass is more tight. I had type 2 16guage cable earlier with banana connectors. May be the guage was wrong for my speakers or something. Sound quality from speakers is much much better now. Soon, I'll replace for my center and surround speakers too. Pros: Great clarity in highs and tight bass Cons: a bit expensive
AudioQuest Type 4 Written By Steve A, Albert Lea, MN on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speaker wires, if you spend big dough on expensive speakers don't skimp on cheap wires, after all the wires are the avenue the great sound is taking to get to your ears! Pros: Well built bundled conductors with outstanding engineered design, worth every nickel. Cons: None
Audioquest Rocks!!! Written By Tsgt2007, New Windsor,NY on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wanted to try the audioquest type 4 speaker cable and replace my monster speaker wire because I read about the improvement in the sound and I have to say these cables are truly amazing !!! A more of a clean and tight sound from my 20 year old klipsch quartet front and my klipsch KV-2 FB center channel speaker. If you want good sound and not to expensive these are it!!! Pros: Hi end speaker cables! I am thinking about buying more to run my surround sound... Cons: None!
time for some actual quality hookups Written By madbird, marietta, ga on Saturday, February 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) if nothing else these made me feel better, like i wasn't dancing with bad shoes. since i spent plenty on the amp and speakers, had to complete the trilogy Pros: good quality Cons: expensive, expensive to me that is, my babies
Great sound, great build quality, and great aesthetics Written By Dave Z, Rockland County, NY on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased these cables along with a pair of MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESLs because I preferred not to use my existing AudioQuest Midnight 3 bi-wire cables with the second set of connectors dangling (the ElectroMotions do not support bi-wiring). I found no difference between these and the Midnights, despite the Midnight being a much beefier and more expensive cable. Very happy with my purchase. Pros: Sounds as good as more expensive cables that I've tried, build quality is solid, nice aesthetics Cons: Probably still more expensive than other cables that might do as good of a job (but I happily pay a little more for AudioQuest products because of my past experiences with the brand)
AudioQuest Type 4 Written By Speaker cables, Green Brook, NJ on Thursday, August 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product. A little more then I was going to spend but so worth it. They look really good because they have a type of fabric as the covering and they came with pre-installed tips so the connection to the speakers took seconds. I highly recommend these cables. Pros: Great speaker cables. Cons: None
Worth it Written By DavidK, Tampa, FL on Sunday, July 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Really breathed life into my Polk RTi A1s. I had name brand banana connectors and wire but they kept coming apart and the sound just was not what it should have been but these solved all that. A little pricey but they will out last my A1s. Pros: High quality. Won't come apart. Improved Sound Quality. Cons: $$$
Awsome Written By HarryR, San Juan, PR on Friday, July 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent pair of cables. Improved quality of sound. Good construction. Easy to handle.
The right investment Written By AJ, Lawrence, KS on Thursday, July 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Impressed with the built quality. Awesome complement to my homecinema. Great sound. Pros: Connected in 2 sec.....Great quality.
Perfect! Written By Bill C, Hull, MA on Monday, June 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought a Cambridge Audio Topaz amp from Crutchfield, and 2 good speakers to go with it, all to hook up to a great SONY turntable I've had for about 7 years, and you recommended these speaker wires. I was taken aback because I though, hey, speaker wire is speaker wire, but these blew me away. The amp is relatively small, the speakers the size of small shoeboxes, but the entire system sounds way "bigger" than it is. Very pleased!
AudioQuest Type 4 Written By Simon, MD on Friday, May 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great quality made a real difference to sound
The best Written By Mrbill, los angeles on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Best, Love them
Audioquest - The Real Deal Written By Anonymous, Dallas GA on Saturday, February 16, 2013 I have been using boutique speaker wire for a long time. I paid dearly for them too. I decided to try AQ's Pearl HDMI cables after reading that they were the cat sass in What Hi-Fi magazine. I had just gotten a new Plasma TV and blew a wad on it so I didn't have the dead presidents for expensive cables. I bought three of them, hooked them up, and could not believe the performance. This got me thinking about interconnects so I bought the G - Snakes for my CD player and Turntable. Same result - Wow !!! Of course, now I had to try the Type 4's on my Martin Logan Source hybrids. I could not believe the difference ! It was as if someone took blankets off of them. The bass was so much more powerful that I took my 10 inch Velodyne subwoofer off the system. It is collecting dust in the closet now. The soundstage opened up and now I play music at two thirds the previous volume. AQ products helped my system more than I can explain. Expensive? Yes. Worth it ? Yes, oh yes. Solid conductor technology really works and I am sure of it. Buy these with confidence ! Pros: Sound, looks, sonic beauty. No break in period that I can tell. Sounded great out of the box. Cons: None
Cables matter! Written By Audioquest type 4's, Scottsdale AZ on Friday, November 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Thanks to Norm at Crutchfield...a real audio guy who steered me in the right direction. Cables are not voodoo magic but rather what was missing in my system. They highlight tones and sharpen the sound stage. If you can spring for the cash, do it!! Pros: Quality you can see and hear. Cons: Pricey.
Type 4 -- Worth it! Written By Tom, Rochester NY on Saturday, May 26, 2012 When I upgraded my living room speakers to PSB Synchrony Twos, I was still using Audioquest X2 14 gauge speaker wire. Wanted to get as much as I could from my NAD T787 AVR, and was only running 5.2 in that room, so bi-amped with the X2, which gave more depth but for most sources not a huge difference. After a while wondered if stepping up to solid wire like Type 4 would make more of a difference, finally gave it a go bi-wiring. Definite improvement in clarity, especially noticeable in the Synchrony C center, but towers seemed to lose a bit of their punch, so somewhat disappointed. Then decided that if I'd gone this far, might as well finish the job, so bit the bullet and went the bi-AMP route with Type 4. WOW! Everything came alive and have both the clarity and oomph I was hoping for. Had to re-adjust speaker settings several dbs and use port plugs on the Synchronies because bass output kicked up several notches, though was still very clean. Exceptional sound now from all sources, from NAD 565 CD player to Oppo 93 BluRays, even Cable TV and Airplay streaming via Marantz NA7004 with Apple Lossless files. Funny, my first thought was "now it all finally sounds like it did at the shop!". Yeah, the cost of cables can get pretty ridiculous, but I love music and it's worth it to me to get as much as I can from my system, even if the individual improvements are subtle, because they add up. I'm now a believer in solid wire designs. Pros: Instant improvement in clarity, especially if bi-wiring -- additional depth if bi-amp Cons: cost, of course :)
AudioQuest Type 4 Written By Scott, Phoenix, Az on Sunday, March 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great wire. Makes connections super easy with the benefits of great sound. Pros: Easy installation! Cons: None.
Definately a difference Written By Mike, Centreville, VA on Tuesday, March 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I hooked these up today and I can definately hear a difference. My signal is more clear and crisp. Looking forward to more testing! I am running a Yamaha RX-V1900 amp into Canton Ergo 80s. For years I have run heavy gauge copper cable as I've always thought more copper is better. I have to say I am impressed. I am going to get another pair for my second system. Pros: Not super expensive. Audioquest sells a pair that costs over $8000 !! Cons: None yet
I'm Hooked! Written By Bob, Carbondale, IL on Tuesday, July 06, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Forget the Monster cables. I hooked these up in seconds to my new KLipsch RF-52s...great response. Expensive? Yes and worth every nickel. I think cables and wires are the most over looked componet to a great sounding system.
What a difference a cable makes! Written By Martin, Chico, CA on Tuesday, March 03, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) About 10 years ago I bought a Yamaha shelf stereo system from Crutchfield (when I still lived in Charlottesville and could buy it in the brick-and-mortar version). It still works and sounds surprisingly well but I am in the middle of upgrading my AV system. I started with new speaker cables, replacing the thin out-of-the-box Yamaha cables with these AudioQuest cables. Wow! I didn't know that that little shelf system could sound so good! The speakers are on Sanus SF22 stands, which already cleaned up the sound. But with these cables the detail, staging, localization and definition has increased enormously. At first I felt a bit silly to spend this much on speaker cables, but when I turned on a CD to hear the results and could not turn off the CD until I had listened and enjoyed it all the way through I knew it was worth it.
audioquest type 4 Written By PFC4934, gastonia,nc on Friday, January 16, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) brought the Polk rt55 series to life. Monster cable ,been there,done that.Thanks audioquest for a great product and hats off to Crutcfield and Pete,my advisor. Someting you can't get at the big box stores.
Speaker Cable Challenge by Steve Kindig We headed to our Labs space to see if we could hear differences between various grades of speaker wire. Read what some of our listeners had to say.

Mar 5, 2013Best FE in the series? Probably yes! Loved this game from start to finish. Side quest, children system, bonus arena map/ wifi bonus team/ DLC (free and paid), what not to love!!
Highly recommended to any SLG fans! -
Feb 14, 2015Just about the perfect turn based strategy game? - Yes.
- I love the graphics, beautiful sprites and backgrounds, and the cutscenes are amazing.
- The soundscape is great aswell, good voice acting and awesome music.
- The story is very good, I guess you can find better, but it works very well.

Jun 13, 2014Es mi juego favorito de 3DS. Estrategia inteligente, divertida y arriesgada. Espectacular grupo de personajes, tanto en carisma como en diseño (perder a algunos será todo un drama). Y una historia muy entretenida y llena de mil posibilidades lo convierten en una joya más para el arcón de oro de la factoría Nintendo.
Feb 5, 2013
Sep 27, 2013Short and sweet.
I've played all the FE's that have been translated and brought to NA.
This one is the best for many reasons. :)

Mar 24, 2013Excellent game across the board. Great strategic depth that stays true to the series classics, an attractive art style, and gorgeous animated sequences make this game a must have for anyone interested in the RPG or Strategy genres.
Dec 17, 2013Awesome game. The new pairing system is very interesting and open whole new strategies to the series. Some call it unballanced, probably aren't using the pairings to their favor. LOTS of characters with charisma and fun dialogues. Lots of fan-service too, but it won't get in the way for newcomers. Essential 3DS title. Expect to spend 100+ hours on this beast.

Aug 25, 2013Fire Emblem Awakening is a perfect 3DS game of a year, The storyline is amazing, graphics are good. I have been so much enjoyed this game. The boss fights are extremely insane.

Mar 4, 2013Its like chess but with tiny people. Lol no im just kidding in all honesty if you dont know what fire emblem is its like final fantasy tactics but a million times more in depth. Great game. It's all fun and games until one of your heroes gets perma-killed. 10/10 would bang.
Mar 29, 2013This is a game-changer. This game has so many features, So many characters, So many stories, Such high quality. Epic StreetPass and SpotPass, Excellent DLC quality and VERY generous free updates. So re-playable with the limitless free SpotPass Cast, you could be playing for years. A must-have for any gamer, and excellent motivation to buy yourself a 3DS, especially with Poke'mon X/Y coming out.
Feb 5, 2013
Jul 31, 2013Very addictive and breath taking, I am a first timer playing the series. I hope the others fire emblem are as good as this one. I hope this game at least gets a nomination for best game of the year. it deserves it.
Mar 6, 2013
Jul 12, 2013Fire Emblem Awakening does everything right. Well everything that matters anyway. It is deep and stylish yet accessible and streamlined. All the characters are like-able and when one dies in battle it is genuinely heart wrenching.
Feb 21, 2013Probably one of the best Fire Emblem games to grace American shores to date with enough feature options (like turning perm-death off) to appease even the holdouts that believe the series to be too hard for their tastes. I was unable to put down my 3DS sans to sleep after receiving the game and I'm already planning second and third playthoughs so the replay value is very high.
Feb 11, 2013
Feb 4, 2013Easily a goty contender and it's portable! Get it now... It is everything that is fine in a srpg and so much more. Excelent in every aspect, from character development to graphics...
Feb 4, 2013Easily the best game to date in the 3DS, a game that sets the tone for what's to come for the 3DS as the successor of the "king of rpgs" the DS... Go buy it now, you won't be disappointed.
Oct 20, 2014
Apr 23, 2013Best game on 3DS.All it needs would be online play and for it to be released sooner in Europe.10/10 I got 30hours of gameplay from it in 4 days.Probably the best made fire emblem aswell.
Feb 5, 2013
Jun 10, 2013The fun gameplay and the amazing 3D graphics all blend together to make something amazing. One of my favorite games in the series, Fire emblem awakening is an amazing game.

Não existe como negar!
Tudo esta equilibrado, consegue ser difícil, mas mantem a os modos originais que consagraram a franquia.

Feb 5, 2013This game is awesome. It has everything I expected from it and a little more. I've played other FE games but never finished them. I love the fact that there is DLC. Cause I hate when games go longer than they should have ruining he story.
Well, it's time to keep playing. -

Mar 27, 2013the Fire Emblem game of my dreams. I've played all the handheld games released in the U.S., and none of them compare to this one. I would have preferred to give it a 9.5 or so, but a 10 isn't implausible. games like this validate Nintendo and their relevance to the game world.
Feb 24, 2013I didn't know what to expect when i heard about a 3ds Fire Emblem game but this is easily the best game of the franchise. You can play as characters from every FE game via SpotPass and dlc. Everything in the game is solid and well executed. I believe this is the best 3ds game to date. If you like RPG's or strategy games i would definitely recommend it.

Mar 23, 2013I really enjoyed this game, actually that is an understatement. This was the first time I played a Fire Emblem game and can't wait till the next installment, hopefully we get more Fire Emblem games out here in the west. My first play through I had no idea what I was doing, the second time I enjoyed the game even more.
Mar 23, 2013This game was just utterly amazing. I signed up just to review this game. I am not a fan of strategy RPG games but Fire Emblem has changed my mind about the whole genre. This game came as a shock for me because I would not have imagined the amount of love I have for this game. If you own a 3DS and don't own this game then that's your loss at an amazing experience.
Mar 25, 2013
Jun 6, 2014Masterpiece period. Game flow, scenery, graphics; are all AMAZING. This game holds up to its predecessors in every way, adding more than ever. Plz buy this game if you own a 3ds, u will not be disappointed.
Apr 16, 2013
Apr 19, 2013Amazing game. The relationships, the gameplay, the graphics.. It was quite some time ago since such a good game was released. Polished to perfection. If you like turnbased strategy, this is a nobrainer.
Feb 15, 2014Just buy this game, just buy it. If you don't own a 3DS just buy one. That's how good this game is. Easily one of the top 5 best games of all time. Buy it.
Aug 19, 2013Wow, I've been wanting this game, but I waited this long because I wasn't sure I'd actually like it. Boy was I wrong. It's my favorite 3DS game. I'm incredibly sucked in!

May 31, 2013
Jun 4, 2013I began playing Fire Emblem with the GBA titles, and this title has lived up to its previous titles. A great game, which will make you want to play it over and over again. There is just so much to do that a simple playthrough won't be enough for you to experience what this title has to offer.
Jun 23, 2013Fire Emblem: Awakening is a wonderful game. It combines a perfect level of difficulty (no matter the difficulty level you set) with a fascinating storyline that can really draw you into an immersive world. I can only hope that this becomes the standard for any future Fire Emblem games.
Jun 29, 2013
Sep 1, 2013Wow, just Wow, this game honors the fire emblem saga, beautiful story line, characters, CHARACTERIZATION, the game play, the tactics the challenge. Definitively a must play for 3ds, Do play it if you are not familiar with the series. The wedding/having kids detail is new and well placed.
Jul 13, 2013
Jul 17, 2013I've given this a 10 because it's so much fun, in terms of design and execution it's probably a 9. In all seriousness though the 3DS stellar library has another amazing game. I'm a big fan of SRPGs so this was right up my street, it may not convert many people but if you like this sort of thing it's a must buy!
Sep 27, 2013As a newcomer to the series, I didn't know what to expect from this latest title. I was pleasantly surprised by the game's depth and replayability. The characters are lovable and the battle mechanics fun. I would recommend this to anyone with a 3DS system.

a game with true soul -
May 10, 2013This review contains spoilers.
Jun 13, 2013A truly excellent tactical role-playing game. [June 2013]
Jun 10, 2013Ignore Casual mode, set the difficulty to hard, and enjoy what is arguably the best turn-based strategy game released since Final Fantasy Tactics. [July 2013, p.76]
May 19, 2013A great turn-based strategy game surpassing not only its blood-related predecessors but step-brothers and step-sisters of the Advance Wars series as well. Fire Emblem: Awakening is the new benchmark of the genre that is practically uncriticizable. At the moment on Nintendo 3DS there is not a better alternative.

I love fireworks! Especially Fourth of July fireworks!
I haven�t missed Fourth of July fireworks in almost 16 years… since the day my daughter was born
… on the Fourth of July.
Yes, I guess we kind of had our own fireworks in the delivery room that year, but it wasn�t really the same thing.
I don�t typically get an epidural when I go see fireworks.
But this year we're missing them because we're doing a family trip to Iceland.
Why Iceland?
Why not?
It�s actually really close (about a 5 hour non-stop flight), they have 23 hours of daylight, and an average daily temperature of about 66F. The whole country is covered in glaciers and hot springs.

gloEye Make Up Remover
This is a standard detergent-based eye makeup remover that's suitable for all skin types.
gloLiquid Lips
The color saturation is rich and the glossy, wet finish is attractive without feeling sticky or syrupy.
Add to Faves?
gloMinerals At-A-Glance
Strengths: Very good loose- and pressed-powder mineral foundations; gentle makeup remover; great bronzing gel, blush, and eyeshadow options; the brow powder; fantastic cream lipstick; Liquid Lips; mostly good makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Not distributed well and salons that stock this line rarely have all of the products; none of the foundations offer sun protection, which is uncommon for a mineral makeup line; the liquid foundations look too heavy and opaque on skin; average loose and pressed powders; specialty makeup products that are below standard and not worth the cost.
Another mineral makeup line has found its way into the over-marketed, overhyped, and inundated world of mineral makeup. The reason for this mineral-oriented explosion seems to be consumers' insatiable appetite for something new and the belief that the word "mineral" on a product label means it is a superior form of makeup. Mineral makeup isn't better for skin and it isn't the best way to get makeup on your face. In fact, because there are so many "mineral" products being sold, there isn't even a way to generalize what they contain because the formulas are completely random.
Claims for mineral makeup range from the sublime to the absurd, with the truth somewhere in the middle. Perhaps the most consistent claim made about mineral makeup products is that they are better for sensitive skin. That isn't the case. A mineral powder's granular nature makes it problematic for sensitive skin, and that slight abrasion over the skin is something to watch out for. The claim that mineral makeup is good for dry skin is physiologically impossible because minerals of any kind are absorbent and that means the moisture in your skin and whatever emollients you put on your face will be sucked up by the mineral powder. There are many types of foundation that work beautifully for sensitive and dry skin, but it is probably not in powder form.
When it comes to gloMinerals the only thing glowing you can count on are the claims. The press release for this makeup brand states it is a "clinical makeup system uniquely formulated for skincare professionals and their clients." The "advanced formulations" are said to combine UV protection with "pharmaceutical grade ingredients" and antioxidants. That sounds great, but the truth is there is nothing about any gloMinerals makeup product that is pharmaceutical grade; in fact, there is no such thing as pharmaceutical-grade makeup. gloMinerals products do not hold any advantage, for professionals (as in aestheticians) or anyone else; they are just powders, nothing more, nothing less. Not a single ingredient in any of the gloMinerals products is unique; the ingredients are found in almost any makeup line you care to name. That doesn't mean gloMinerals isn't worth a look, but it does mean the products aren't professional, aren't cutting edge, aren't worth the price, and certainly aren't something you need to try so you don't miss out on it.
What we find ethically distressing is that the company claims their products offer UV protection, but none of these products have an SPF rating or list any active sunscreen ingredients. Some of them do contain titanium dioxide, but unless it's listed as an active ingredient and the product has undergone the appropriate FDA testing to establish an SPF rating, you absolutely cannot rely on it for sun protection. Their claim of UV protection is either disingenuous or ignorant on the part of the company; either way, if a company can't get the sunscreen claim right, then you should think twice about any of its other claims. Plus, there are lots of companies that offer products with "mineral" in the name that do come with an SPF rating, do list the active ingredients on the label, and don't cost as much as gloMinerals products.
There are some key products to consider from gloMinerals, including their pressed-powder foundation, which definitely contains minerals; the main mineral is mica, a shiny mineral pigment that is used in thousands of makeup items. Oddly, several of the company's non-mineral products are excellent, including their cream lipstick, lip gloss, bronzing gel, and brush-on brow powder. The specialty products and those that add shine are no better than average, and the pencils are merely OK.
One more thing: gloMinerals talks up the antioxidants in their products. Most of the products contain a blend of vitamins (such as A, C, and E) with a couple of antioxidant plants such as green tea. Although adding antioxidants to makeup is a thoughtful touch, in most cases the amounts gloMinerals included are but a dusting. There's also the issue that the small amount of antioxidants won't last long in products packaged in clear jars and transparent glass bottles.

Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a rare, inherited condition that causes colorectal cancer. FAP results in the development of hundreds of polyps inside the large intestine.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
FAP is caused by a genetic defect. Polyps usually begin developing during during the teenage years, and 95% of people with FAP will have polyps by age 35. The average person with FAP will have colorectal cancer found by the age of 39 years.
The primary risk factor for FAP is having family members with this condition. However, this condition can occur in people without a family history of the condition. This is because the genetic defect can caused by a new mutation in the affected person.
In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. To confirm a diagnosis, your doctor will do some tests. These may include:
An endoscopy is a thin, lighted, telescope-like tube with a camera that is used to look for polyps inside the intestines. Endoscopy for FAP may include:
FAP is treated with surgery. Since FAP causes so many polyps, they cannot be removed individually. Therefore, the goal of surgery is to remove the portion of the intestine that contains the cancerous or precancerous polyps. The surgical procedure used depends on the length of intestine involved.
The three main surgical treatments are:
Duodenal polyps in the small intestine are managed with endoscopy. An endocope is used to find the polyps. Once found, the surgeon inserts small tools through a tube in the endoscope and removes them. In some cases, surgery to remove the duodenum may be done.
Medications are used shrink polyps and to prevent new ones from forming. Medications include:
The remaining intestine will need to be inspected by endoscopy as often as every 6 months for the rest of your life. Because the risk of developing other polyps that could grow to become cancer is so high, it is crucial for your doctor to keep a very close watch. If more polyps arise, further surgery may be required.
There are no current guidelines to prevent FAP.

- Improves circulation and flexibility

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 18
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauren09 Great for relaxation and strengthening your body!
I have pulled out my back 2 times in the past year. I was tired of being in pain and knew I needed something to strengthen my body. I love the massage therapy kit especially because of the tools it comes with to help with releasing tension and just being mindful. The back care yoga dvd is great. I loved it the first time I did it. The only thing I would like to get is a bolster to help with the practice. Definitely recommend this kit worth every penny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SandyAZ Very Usefull
I love this video! I use it weekly and add portions of it to my regular routine. Certain poses and restorative positions target my problem area and I have seen vast improvement in my chronic condition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by livingxoutxloud Body Ball System = Massage Therapy Kit
I love this, but it took GAIAM a long time to figure out that the body ball therapy system and massage therapy kit were the same (since I ordered both). Customer Service was excellent. They kept working on it until we figured it out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FrancoTexan Back pain begone
I am a male of 46 years of age, weighing 240 lb, always on my feet working as a degreed chef in a fast paced restaurant, and playing racquetball, and swimming five to seven days a week. Recently I suffered from bulging disks in the right lower back that led me to many rehabilitative chiropractic sessions. I also hold a B.S. in Kinesiology and have been a certified personal trainer for years. I knew that I will need to incorporate regular back exercises and stretches to reduce or better yet eliminate future lower back pain. After a short search online all I could find was this combination of Yoga for Back care with Rodney Yee and Restore Massage Therapy Set. Each comes with its own DVD. I received the products in a timely manner. I have viewed both DVDs and they are in excellent format and professionally shot and edited. Rodney is very clear in his instructions, and careful in describing and setting the stretches, while the ocean backdrop setting provides a relaxing atmosphere. So far I have only used the Yoga DVD and it yields amazing results while saving me a lot of money if I had to go to a yoga studio paying at least $15 per visit. I would recommend the whole set as a present and future investment. The Restore Massage Therapy Set will be an excellent next level stretching once I am ready for it – for now I am using the foam roller instead for a softer pressure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bobbette Very happy with this purchase
These simple postures have helped my back tremendously and Rodney Yee is a good teacher who carefully explains how to do things correctly. Although as a 65 year old, I haven't been able to do all of the exercises as yet, e.g., my back is too sensitive at this point for the massaging balls; I'm sure I will be able to eventually.

Hi, I would like to know where to purchase the black sleeve that Rodney Yee uses for the body ball system. It seems like it would take a lot to keep the balls an even distance apart and at the same level. Anyone who knows where to buy this prop - please let me in on the secret!!! Maybe Rodney Yee could answer this?

The sleeve was something that was used in the filming without us knowing that it wasn't going to be included in the kit. I have had a number of customers us a tube sock that's lost it's mate, old tights or panty hose, a cloth whine bag, or the sleeve to an old long sleeve shirt. Unfortunately we do not have bags available for purchase.2 years, 2 months ago
I have multiple skin sensitivities to a wide variety of synthetic materials & and I can't find out anywhere what exercise balls are made of. I'd love to be able to buy and USE this set.

The balls from this set are made of PVC.3 years, 2 months ago
The one that is sold separately does, but the description for this one doesn't say. Is it the same identical dvd, or are they different productions of similar routines?
3 years, 3 months ago
Top 1000 Contributor
The DVD for Back Care is the same one that is sold separately. As they told me, mine looks different because it is an updated version. The back care kit is the Back Care DVD + Body Ball System. You can order separately - just the Back Care DVD or just the Massage Therapy Kit (same as the body ball kit). Best deal is to order together.2 years, 2 months ago

It should include the 7 minute back care routine. As far as I can see they are shipping the same version for both the kit and the individual DVD orders.3 years, 3 months ago
I just received this in the mail and am perplexed as to how to properly use the sleeve for the two smaller balls. It seems quite different from the one Rodney uses in the video, and there aren't any instructions in the video that pertain to correct usage of the sleeve. Thanks for your help! :)

I don't think it is meant to be used like that. They told me to use a sock. I am trying to track down the sleeve Rodney Yee uses. Seems like GAIAM should sell it. If you find the sleeve, please let me know!2 years, 2 months ago

Are you referring to the sleeve to place the balls in? They slide right in, but this is just what I thought the sleeve was used for. I did not find any directions included on how to use the props thta came with the kit.3 years, 2 months ago

The sleeve that is included is indeed different than the one that Rodney is using. They just need to be placed in there together for correct use. I usually recommend to customers to use an old sock, or an old pair of tights or pantyhose as they normally work a little better and are less scratchy.4 years ago
Do the balls come with a pump? How do you inflate them back up when they deflate?

That was a question I had as well. No the kit doesn't come with a pump. I plan to try to use the pump that came with my exercise ball.3 years, 2 months ago

The balls do not include a pump. You would use the same sort of pump that you would use on a basket ball or football. If you have a bicycle pump I can get a needle sent out for you that will work with it. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com years, 2 months ago
