I got this phone about 4 months ago as part of a plan I was renewing s,o it was free. Overall, it is pretty fantastic. It comes with all the necessities, such as good screen, decent applications like alarm clock and camera, perfect size, weight, and distribution. It is also highly durable, as in a fit of rage I've already thrown this phone once and it bounced back just fine. The camera, whi...

The storyline begins exactly where the first season ends - the death of Julias Caesar and the resulting chaos and attempted power-grabs.

Whenever I start to get the creeping symptoms of a serious head cold, I turn to this CVS Sinus medication. I used to an active Sudafed user, however, this product has the same active ingredients (Acetaminophen and HCL phenylephrine) in the same amounts, has both nighttime and daytime versions, and it 2 dollars cheaper price. This product works is easy to ingest, it works wells - just a few minu...

Probably the most acclaimed real time strategy game all time, Starcraft still garners legions of fans and a near cult-like following in the Korean gaming world. Incredibly balance between factions, intuitive controls, and a compelling storyline are all the things that made me appreciate this battle for galactic dominance. The storyline takes place in the distant future as humans, the insect-lik...

The result was a smashing success that reshaped the online gaming environment.

I have owned my Honda Civic for two years now and am completely happy with it. This model is a fantastic combination of style, affordability, reliability, and fuel economy. I am not a car person by any means, but I can really appreciate that it rarely costs me more than thirty dollars to completely fill up, which I only need to do every few weeks. The model is very stylish with a smooth look an...

Our 6 month old cat has had tape worms for the longest time. They were completely disgusting and a constant source of woe in our household, as they are very visible as small sesame seed looking objects. They're apparantly extremely common in all young cats and can be acquired simply by being in the presence of fleas or mosquitos which can transfer eggs. We tried other products from Wal Mart...

This HBO production (originally from BBC) is an epic saga centered on the brutal rivalries of Rome in the time of Julias Caesar. The story has tremendous momentum, jumping from a cast of characters ranging from Caesar himself to a few of the common plebs. The multiple storylines intertwine and unfold to show countless tales of ruthfulness and savagery, honor and sacrifice, lust and love, and of...

This comedy tells the tale of an Irish pub in dingy South Philadelphia managed by four friends. The catch is that they're all horrible people and are constantly forming nefarious plots, highstakes bets, and shifting alliances to ensure the demise of the others. Having been described as "Seinfeld on crack", the storyline  of each episode threads together the misadventures of e...

The Nintendo 64 was the the "Cadillac" system throughout the 90s and into this century. With such great and memorable games as Mario 64. Mario Kart 64. Goldeneye, Smash Brothers, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Bomberman64, Starfox 64, and many others, it is clear to see why Nintendo is now reselling these games in the form of Wii software. Although not broadly available for purchase at the m...

This food processor is a seamless combination of form and function. I find the small size of this appliance to be particularly great, since my kitchen isn't as grand and spacious as I would ideally like. There are only two settings- chop and grind - but each works very well due to the quality of the finely sharpened blade. This processor has a wide diameter, which prevents foods getting stu...

I've had two cats for a few months now and have been trying to find a good reliable litter. I've tried other products like the Arm and Hammer litter but found that it wasn't very good for clumping. I picked up a box of this Cat's Pride litter and am much more pleased. The small size of the litter makes it clump very well and absorb the smell much better. In addition, the smell i...

First of all, let me say that I have LOVED this mp3 player. I've had it for over 2 years now and it still works great. I've only ever had to reset it twice. For it's time, the price vs storage size ratio for this was light years ahead of Apple. Forty gigabytes for the $200 price is still pretty hard to come by today, let alone two years ago.  The only huge downside I can name f...

With the addition of two cats to my household, I started investing in some good-odor products. I found that the best of these were the Glade plugins. I tried the Airwick ones before but they didn't last nearly as long and the scents were much less appealing. Glade's scent varieties are the best I have seen on the market so far.  Glade has a dial as well, offering you control over ...

I just recently purchased this crockpot to cook stews and the like so I can come home to a good smell. I have no complaints about this crockpot except I wish it had a self timer so I wouldn't have to always be present to always turn it on and off. This crockpot is relatively simple and has only 3 settings : high, low, and warming; I find this is fine and all I need for the foods I cook. Cle...

For the price and size, I would say this is a very nice vacuum. I find this Shark able to pick up very tiny things like fine cat litter grains, which my old vacuum was not able to pick up. For the first 3 months it worked perfectly, and still does - however, it tends to overheat if used for over an hour. This isn't too bad of an inconvenience, though, because I rarely have to vacuum that mu...

As an evolutionary biologist and an anthropologist who has tackled many scientific topics and lived with various tribes, Diamond is perfect for narrating this story of history's 'Haves and Have-nots'.
