I was recently watching tv and came across a commercial for the Instant Fisherman. I usually don’t even pay attention to stuff like this but was morbidly curious about it. They run a buy one, get one free promotion so I figured I’d give it a try. When compacted, the Instant Fisherman is about a foot long and doesn’t take up too much room when you’re ready to go fishing. ...

When our previous desktop finally stopped working, we had to get a new one relatively quickly because my wife works on the internet. We strolled into Best Buy hoping not to spend too much. We were not disappointed as we happened upon the HP Pavillion A1540N. It has 2GB of memory which is decent for our price range. The video card isn't the highest end and won't support most of the newer...

I had this alarm system installed in my Blazer when I got it and really like it. It has a zone alarm system that will let you know what door has been tampered with depending on how many times it beeps when you disarm. It has a proximity alert that will warn someone who is near your vehicle. The remot has four buttons on it. The first is to lock/unlock doors, the second is the trunk release, the...

After investing nearly 700 dollars for my PS3, I began to read some reviews of people's consoles overheating. Wanting to avoid this unpleasant turn of events for my system, I went to my local game shop to purchase a separate cooler. I chose the Pelican brand for two reasons. The first reason was that it has it's own power supply. Most of the other brands use USB connections to draw powe...

I love riding my motorcycle. When I first got it, I wore black boots and never worried about messing them up. As I got more comfortable and rode more often, I would wear other shoes including my wheat colored boots. After about two weeks of shifting gears, my left boot developed a very noticeable and very unsightly scuff mark from the rubber of the gear shift. I searched online and happened upo...

I have been banking with USAA for over ten years and can't say enough good things about them. I only listed my checking account, but also have a savings account with them. They've been there for every one of my financial needs and that kind of versatility is what I like most about them. In addition to my bank accounts, I have all three of my vehicles insured with them. I have my renter&...

A few months ago I had knee surgery and after the procedure, they had difficulty bringing my blood pressure down. After some pain medication, I was able to get it to a manageable number. When I got home, I purchased the Omron Wrist blood pressure monitor so that I could make sure that it stayed in a reasonable range. The wrist monitor is very easy to use and is designed to use with one hand. Yo...

During my last trip to the supermarket, I had toothpaste on my list and decided to try something different. I generally buy whitening paste, but they rarely have any that are anything special in the taste department. I know you’re not supposed to be eating the toothpaste anyway, but when you’re brushing your tongue, you can’t help but taste it.  The Caribbean Cool flavor ...

Having light in an emergency or while camping is very important. While shopping at Lowe's, I recently saw the Task Force flashlight and picked up a couple. I've placed them in certain locations in my home in case of a power outage or for when I need to visit the attic. It requires 3 AAA batteries that come in the package. The light produced by the 9 high intensity LED bulbs is sufficien...

This is one of the worst products on the market and I will never use it again. The floss is coated with a powdery toothpaste type substance and that's easy enough to get over. It's a good idea so that you don't have to brush and floss in two separate steps and can get some extra toothpaste between your teeth. The problem lies in the floss itself. I used it for a week and got it stuc...

This was one of the most moving and action-packed movies that I've seen in a long time. The action starts right away and doesn't stop right up until the end. There is a bombing of a U.S. compound in Saudi Arabia. A team of F.B.I. Investigators made up of Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, and Chris Cooper led by Jamie Foxx travel to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and work together with the Sa...

This terrible movie parodies some of the most inspirational sports movies ever. Just to name a few, there are parallels with Rocky, Invincible, The Longest Yard, and Radio. I like some of the spoof movies, but this one was just horrible. There were a few moments where I laughed out loud, but overall, it was just a string of homo-sexual references that may go over a few times, but not for the du...

One of my favorite movies of all time. Clive Owen stars as a man who delivers a woman's baby during a shoot out and decides to protect the baby as he figures out why a gang led by Paul Giamatti killed the mother and wants to kill the baby. The action in this movie is so over the top that you can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it all is. It really is a very entertaining film and will...

This game is simply beautiful. The graphics are excellent and the sound quality is awesome. You control Altair throughout the game. He is an assassin who has been kicked out of his guild for insubordination. As the game progresses, you work your way back into the good graces of your superiors by carrying out a series of execution orders on select figures in the region. You earn new moves a...

I'm not usually a fan of first person shooters, but this game is clearly the exception. The graphics are so clear that you can't help but feel as though you're in combat. Every map has hiding spots, but you know you're never truly alone or safe. There's always someone looking for you and ready to take you out at any second. The single player campaign takes you all the way th...

I wasn't sure what to think when I purchased this game. I originally thought it would be fun to play with my daughter because it isn't too complicated or anything. What I wound up finding out is that this game is equally addictive for children and adults alike. As a long-time Star Wars fan, I was interested in how it would be to play through all six films using legos. It drew me in imme...

I've been a die hard Madden player and football fan since 1992. Every year that a new version of the long running franchise is released, there are some growing pains transitioning from the previous year's model. With Madden 08, the learning curve is that much steeper. You not only have to deal with changes from last year's version, in some cases, you have to overcome the switch...

Definitely one of the most fun games I own for my PS3. You control different members of the Simpsons family in the game and take them through different storylines to complete game objectives. Each member of the family has unique talents and powers that can be combined to reach hidden areas of the game. There are icons hidden all over Springfield that unlock trophies and powerups for each charac...

I was doing research for a next-generation console and selected the Playstation 3. I have not been disappointed and love my purchase. It doubles as a Blu Ray player and mine came with Spider-Man 3 on Blu Ray to get my collection started. The graphics and sound for each of the games look incredible but are augmented even further by having a high definition television. The only complaints I have ...

This game is good for wrestling fans or even casual fans who just want the experience of beating their opponent senseless. The graphics are awesome down to every detail. All of the wrestlers' entrance theme and pyros are shown directly from the show. The commentators are from the shows and all the wrestlers do their own voice work. The biggest knock I have is in the create a wrestler. In an...
