"GATEWAY FX Desktop Computer"

 Purchased this three days ago, so I can only say what I know so far about it. Spend $1,300 for the Desktop unit, 19" flat screen monitor, and a printer.  We were looking at brands by HP, Alienwear and Gateway online and we were pretty much set on a HP. We still decided to go check out some stores and see what they had. Went into Best Buy and was checking out there selection when we saw the Gateway FX unit.  It had 640 Gig hard drive, 4 GB Ram and the NVIDIA 8800 overclocked video card. Also came w...

"Akwasasne Mowhawk Casino"

 This is a smaller casino located in Massena New York, which is only about 2 or 2 1/2 hours from our house. We also go to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods in Connecticut as well, and have been to Vegas as well so we are "traveled" when it comes to casino's.  We go here about once per month, and always have a good time. Again it isn't very large, but has many slot machines, and has few table games. It does have Texas Holdem tourney's and sit-and-go tables as well.  It has one buffet an...

"Koral Kimono Gi"

 The price was a little high, but you pay for the comfort and the durablility of this Gi! I purchased the MKM Green / Black as you don't see this color much in tournaments.  Koral makes a very comfortable gi, it's like wearing regular clothing. Most other Gi's feel like your wearing a carpet and are heavy and very warm while training. This Gi is great as it is very durable, and i recommend the brand highly! I have been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu...

"SPRAWL XT V-Flex Competition Shorts"

 I purchased these shorts for many reasons, the first was comfort. Owning a older pair of a different style, i wanted to try these out. The second was the durablity of these, being in this art since 1998, and being in competitions. I knew that they had to stand up to a beating, which they do!  They have a tie waistband AND velcro closure as well, so they aren't going to come off on you! They are very flexible and don't restrict your movement at all.  I purchased the White as most other people go...

"KRUGANS Tribal Kimono GI"

 This GI was my first "real" gi purchase and i was pleased with this item. I have had this for about three years now, and it's black in color. The color has faded quite a bit and i would say it is more grey now than black. But for the miles i've put into it, it's still wearable.  The durability isn't bad, but not perfect. After the first year, i had to sew a small pull in the inside of the gi pants where it was wearing. It has held together since the repair and still is holding great.

"ICY HOT PATCH"

 From training... i'm almost always in some type of muscle pain and have tried MANY methods of relief. I discovered Icy Hot as being one of the best out there. I was using the gel for many years, and it does leave a lovely smell on your hands and is a little greasy. So i was thrilled when they came out with these patches.  They are very easy to open and apply, and you can wear them when you sleep as well. They last for about 3 - 4 hours and a little afterwards... but you can tell after 4 hours it's beginning to ...

"BLACK KORAL GI"

 So like my MKM Green Koral Gi, this one is just as good. It is an A3 size, same as the Green.. but seems to fit much better than the Green one! Not sure if this was due to the Green being sized incorrectly or what.  Anyway wore this for the first time today, and didn't wash it ahead of time. Most people know that when buying a Gi that is anything but white in color, that you should wash it a couple times so it won't "bleed" on everyone elses Gi! So i was nervous that it may do just that... but after t...

So every song is full and uncut, if you have kids you have to watch what you have on.  For the kids, there are many disney channels and censored channels to choose from. Every Music genre is available from Rock to Country to Oprah, etc.  You have options to choose from with either pay by the month, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month or lifetime payments. We choose the 6...

"MARS Wisdom panel - MX Dog Breed Testing"

 So this is for everyone who really wants to know what breeds are in their dog. Some Vets don't have this yet, but if you tell them about it, they can get it for you.  So I have two dogs, one was picked up at a shelter and looks like a husky, the other was from a rescue organization and looks like a cross between a German Shepard and Malamute. We had blood drawn at our Vets, and they sent it out. It was $170.00 for each dog, so it is on the expensive side!  In just under three weeks, we got two pack...

 I purchased this vehicle used with about 11,000 miles on it. I have had absolutely no mechanical problems with this vehicle, and am very pleased with the gas mileage! It is approxmately 27 MPG, and i only have to fill it up about once every couple weeks.  I was looking for a vehicle that could hold four persons and our two dogs, and this holds that many fine. It's not very comfortable for the kids in the back seat, but they fit!  The sound from the stereo is better than expected and as i love liste...

"Bowflex Ultimate"

 I have always wanted to try a Bowflex, and had the chance to purchase this about a year ago. I was amazed on how easy it was to move, and not having weights it is fairly light.  I was also skeptical about the bows being effective, but after working out on this i was amazed! The resistance is good and you have the same feel of freeweights as you steady the lift.  This has every excersize i need with the leg attachment that came with this unit. I also like how the leg press and rows are available for thi...

"Rome: Total War"

 Played this game at a friends house, and had to own it!  If you like Civ-type games, this game will be perfect for you. A great blend of strategy and action, build up your cities, make allies, create armies and fight enemies.  One of the best features of this game is the fight sequences, most civ games have two armies meet and they resolve the battle on their own. You have this option for this game, but you can also choose to fight out the war. The detail is fantastic and the strategy is a must even fo...

You are called upon to complete missions and learn more about your past.  You have many weapons available to you, and have different options on how to complete your hits. You can use stealth to sneak up on your enemies and only kill them. You can kill people and take their outfits to blend in better and complete your missions. You can also choose to go right in, "guns blazing" and k...

"Fallout - Fallout review"

 Being a avid gamer, saying that this is the best game ever made is saying something.... and it is!  There are so many options in this game, the replay value is off the charts. The entire game is done by a third person, overhead view. It's set up like a futuristic Dungeons & Dragons with character set up, actions and inventory options.  It's set in a post-apocalyptic era, where you leave your underground shelter to try to save your colony. You meet so many different characters in this game. ...

 Went to Best Buy to get a computer that could handle video games and surfing the net. Not sure if the salesman just didn't know what he was talking about, or if this was advertised incorrectly!  The price wasn't boad for this unit, but were very disapointed with the video card, memory, etc.  You can get online with this, and it can handle lower end games with the ATI Radeon card it came with (this was upgraded after we bought it). It has both PCI-Express and AGP ports for the cards, so that is ...

 Ok so here's a experience for you;   Purchased this TV at the store a while back, had it for about 2 weeks. One day watching a show and BAM, the screen just goes black except for a line going across the middle.  So we call the maker of the set and are told to bring it to a service area, which we do. They find that the tube is shot and will have the TV replaced for free. No problem right? You would think so....  So after about 3 weeks, we get a call that a TV was shipped to the serv...

 I suggest that everyone go to Las Vegas at least once in their lifetime!  I went with my wife and in-laws (there were 4 of us) and it cost approximately $2,000 for six nights and flight from the East Coast for all four of us total. This price included a "power pass" for one full day for all four of us. This included many attractions at little to no cost including the wax museum, some food places, some shows, etc.  We stayed at Treasure Island resort and casino which is right in the middle of ...

The colors are fantastic and hold up pretty well after washing. DO NOT put these in the drier as they will shrink and fade quicker so make s...

Received it and was very pleased and wore it a bunch.  The lettering is a little raised on the front, but the style was good.  I say was for the following reason, after less than one-year with this. There were millions of tiny rips thoughout the front, especially around the lettering.  Granted i did wear this, but no more than all my other sweatshirts which still are holding together just fine!
