The Powerhouse series by MPEX is designed to be a simple home gym that can fit anywhere in your home. Mine is located in the master bedroom and it really does not take up much space. This home gym has a range of ways to work out, including both upper and lower bodies. It comes with a bench press bar, a curl bar, a range of weights (10, 5 and 2.5 pound), and safety equipment. It is relatively ea...

This is the BEST basketball you can buy that isn't the real NBA game ball, it's that simple. I have been playing basketball for many years now and I can say that this is the best indoor ball around. It provides a consistent bounce and great feel and with about 4 months use shows no signs of wearing down. It is very simple to add or take out air. The ball  has 30% deeper grooves for...

When my family moved houses a few years ago we needed to buy a new water heater. We decided to go with the Fury model from Rheem. Rheem is supposedly the number one brand for water heaters. The Fury model is a 75gal capacity water heater and coming from a family of four, I can say that this is more than enough because we have never run out of hot water. This heater is pretty efficient, as it is...

This Rossignol snowboard is perfect for the casual snowboard. It is very affordable in price but it has lasted me over four years of snowboarding (going about 4-5 times a year). It is a dark blue snowboard with a blue wave-like design that comes through the board. Considering the price, this board is suprisingly durable. I have not had to do any maintenance on it yet and it still performs as we...

I recently upgraded to the Alias a few weeks ago from my old Rossignol board (because the brand has been very good to me) and I can say that it hasn't been a disappointment. The board design is very unique and it has a very stylish speaker in the middle and a nice powder white on the outside, in other words it is eye catching. THe board retails for close to $400, but since this is an older ...

The New Era 59Fifty line is possibly the most recognized cap going today. From people on tv to students on a college campus, it seems everyone is wearing these hats. The 59Fifty line features a fitted size and usually supports a baseball team. Other hats feature other pro sports teams or a random design. The 59Fifty is distinguishable because it has the flat brim and kids usually wear it slight...

I bought the mixman a few years ago and played with it for a while but then I put it away. Just recently I brought it back out and have been having a blast with it because I found out new capabilities. THe mixman is a turntable of sort that you connect to your computer. It comes with its own program but from my experience the program is extremely boring and not very useful. What I did was that ...

I play racquetball occassionally at my school's gym and these are the racquets that the gym provides if you wish to borrow them. The Head T.I. Demon Racquet sports a blue and silver look and it is an average size for a typical racquetball racquet. It is relatively light and I believe that it is meant for beginner to intermediate players.Playing with the racquet I can tell you that hitting t...

The Gamo PT 80 is a pellet gun made for serious shooters. It uses a revolver reloading mechanism which holds eight pellets at once. The gun is powered by CO2 and shoots pellets at over 400 feet per second. Multiple shots are doable and the gun claims to be able to shoot all eight pellets in just over two seconds. The quality of the gun is evident because of its heavy feel and solid materials. W...

Simply put, I love my Maui Jim sunglasses. They are the best I have ever used in terms of looks, comfort, and performance. In my opinion, Maui Jim's Polarized Plus 2 lenses are the best in the business in terms of glare reduction. The world seems more clear when using these sunglasses compared to other high end sunglasses. The Kapalua is a sporty model which features titanium frames. They a...

I bought the Spring Air Radiance mattress to use for my college apartment. Since I am a college student, I didn't want to spend too much money on a mattress but wanted to make sure I didn't get one that was too cheap so it would hurt my posture/back. I ended up choosing the Radiance. It comes available in all bed sizes. If I had to describe how the mattress feels, it is very bouncy when...

The Burton Cartel bindings are one of the more higher end models of bindings that Burton offers. It is a beautifully made binding which comes in many different colors. After upgrading to these from a very cheap model, I can say that these make a HUGE difference. They come with the "cap-strap" which covers your entire toe for more control. The bindings stay very tightly bond to your fe...

When I went out to buy a cologne (I'm not much of a cologne person but I use it occasionally), I wanted one where it didn't smell cheap and also didn't make you sick if you continued to smell it. I eventually decided to buy Aqua De Gio from Giorgio Armani. This cologne in my opinion smells the most elegant out of the others available. It is very strong so I would recommend applying ...

The Airlink Super G Series was given to me because my friend had an extra one. I can say that it has been a very reliable wireless source that I use to this day for my home. This router provides support for four LAN port connections and can connect up to five wireless connections at one time. The system was relatively easy to set up with a setup CD and when plugged in, it finds the internet con...

My little brother went to Laser Quest which is a place where young children can get a bunch of their friends and play laser tag. He loved it so much that his next birthday he wanted to get one where he could play at home. He ended up buying Jackks laser challenge pro set. It is a set which costs about 60 dollars to buy and it comes with two small pistol/handgun looking laser guns. Each gun come...

A friend of mine gave me this when I went to visit him in another country because my cell phone would not work there. This pager was extremely easy to use: when someone leaves their number you can easily see who called you and at what time. I believe that this pager is used more for people who need to act quickly when paged or in other words emergency personal. I think that because my friend wo...

When we moved a few years ago we wanted to sell our old house at the highest value possible. Although most people simply allow the real estate business to take care of this, a friend of mine told us to try Strata Concepts. This is a company that works with you to strategically plan a way to incorporate the real estate business with what they call "out of the box thinking." They help t...

This highly anticipated game for the Nintendo DS does not disappoint. The Phantom Hourglass continues the story from the Windwaker, a game that was made for the Nintendo Gamecube. I've finished this DS game and I can say that it was a very fun and intuitive game. The game makes 100% use of the touchscreen, as NONE of the buttons are used. You play the whole game guiding Link and his attacks...

I have owned the Altec Lansing VS4121 audio speakers for over two years and they have been worth every penny. Right now, you may be able to get these as low as 79.99 and for that price they are a steal. The design is very sleek and sexy with its black and silver finish. This model is a 2.1 set, and it provides very solid sound. The two side speakers provide very clear and powerful sound all fro...

I have owned the Razer diamondback for about six months now and I have to say it is the best mouse that I have ever used. I have tried many different mice including the Logtech G7 and other optical and laser mouses and none of them come close to the precision and comfort of the Razer Diamonback. The Diamondback features a 1600 DPI sensor that provides 6400 frames per second and 5.8 megapixels p...
