At first sight this pen and pencil set looks very well made, but after a week of use I was quite dissatisfied. The pen in the set works pretty well. It is nothing special though, it is just a regular cartridge shoved into a metal fancy casing. After using the pen I was only slightly disappointed. After use of the pen, I took the pencil to school for a test run. On the first day of use I did ...

When I was searching for a new phone I wanted something that would be great for texting. I love touch screens but they are not the best for texting. So after looking around came across the LG Xenon. This phone has a great touch screen PLUS an amazing keyboard. They keyboard is easy to use and the buttons are not too small. There are four rows of buttons which makes the layout seem a lot less cl...

The Mineral Ice muscle pain reliever works wonders. During the last summer (summer 2007) I put myself through a quite vigorous work out schedule. After about a week of working I began to feel the effects. I did not want to stop and take a break, so I looked for a muscle rub. I went to the store intending to buy Icyhot which I have used before. The store was out, so I decided to give Mineral I...

No other keyboard gets all of the basic need done better than the Yamaha Portatone. When I first played this keyboard I found that it was made very well. All of the sound came out very crisp and clear. I am able to adjust each sound to fit the exact tone that I want. One feature that I really enjoy is the background rhythm feature. What I can do is select a certain background beat and chord s...

When it comes to ear training software, it does not get any better than Macgamut 6. I was introduced to this program when I began college as a music major. I thought it would be a program that was programed poorly and would be a waist of time; but i was wrong! This program has many different levels of difficulty, so when things begin to become easy, the level of difficulty increases. For you te...

This is a very good phone over all. There are many unexpected features anywhere from a metronome, to a pedometer. The phone has a very good menu set up, and it is easy to navigate throughout the different menus. There is a very small amount of internal memory, but with an inexpensive 1gb memory card you can hold endless amounts of pictures and videos. Since this is Sony phone, it has a built ...

    These earbuds are premium quality for the cost. When I first purchased these earbuds for about thirty dollars, I expected an average sound quality. When I tried them out they exceeded my expectations. The bass is very clear, but not too strong.      I would not say that these earbuds are superior to sound canceling headphones, but for the size and the p...

What can I say, this battery runs ANY electronic that requires a AA battery. From my experience this battery usually lasts a substantial amount of time. I found that the only down side is that eventually, the battery must run out. For me this is rarely a problem because Duracell makes millions of batteries that are identical to the ones that just ran out. The Duracell AA battery is very s...

The DCT is a Lip Balm/Sunscreen. Obviously it is meant to protect the lips. DCT is a great lip protector; it makes the lips feel great and well protected. From my experience I have found this product quite useful. Anytime I go into the sun and put sunscreen on my body, I always wish that there was something to protect my lips (since they are in the sun just as long as my body). A friend sug...

The Office Depot brand ultra white paper is a must for the office. This paper is a step above the rest. You are probably thinking, "Paper is paper." I thought the same thing until I used this paper and switched back. The texture of the paper is ideal for printing. With this paper I am able to print anything on it, even pictures. Ink settles well on the surface and does not bleed at ...

In today’s world there are hundreds of different flash drive types. All have the ability to store data, but the SanDisk micro flash drive has features that put it ahead of the rest. First of all, the design is exquisite. There is no cap that can be lost that risks damage to the USB insert. The USB part of the flash drive slides in and out of the plastic cover. This is a wonderful featu...

I must say that NHL Hitz 2002 is the best hockey game ever made. It may be a few years old, but the hits are fresh. One major difference with this game is that there are only four players on the ice: three skaters, and one goalie. At fist I was not sure about this change, but after playing one game it made sense. With fewer people it makes the game simpler and more action packed. It is tough ...

If I was to use one word to describe this monitor, I would describe it as "Slightly below Average." Yes, I do know that "slightly below average" is not one word, but this monitor does not deserve me to work hard and think of one word to describe it. This monitor does cover all of the basics.After I used it I found that it clearly showed me what I are doing, which is a mus...

The Post-it note is the number one way to keep your life in line. This wonderful sticky 2” by 2” piece of paper can really change someone life; it changed mine. About a month ago my life became very busy and I was falling behind. I tried all sorts of ways to keep up with my schedule. After all else failed I took a risk and tried writing what I had to do on Post-it notes. After thi...

Being an advanced intermediate student I must say that this trumpet is amazing. When I fist got it I was not a good enough player to realize how great of a horn it is. But now, three years down the line, I am realizing what a great purchase it was. The clarity of tone on the Bach Stradivarius is wonderful. I notice that I receive a very good response from the horn when I try to achieve the to...

When I started to work out I found that there is not a better way to build pectoral muscles than by using the Pec Deck. I will testify to its effectiveness. This machine gives the pectoral muscles the right amount of training. When I finish my repetitions with this machine I feel that I have accomplished something. I have used other machines in the past and they do not give me the same feelin...

When I started running, and when anyone starts running they must find the right running shoe. Once I put this shoe in I knew it was the one that fit me best. The shoe felt great. When I put it on I felt the breeze on my foot when I walked. This was made possible from the unique mesh that made up a large part of the shoe. This mesh made the show very lightweight and allowed my foot to breath. ...

When chemistry is taught at a school level, there is now better way than using the Ebbing Gammon General Chemistry book. I am in a high school Chemistry class and I have found this book very useful. It explains things well, and it has great practice problems. I found that it is set up very well. This book is hard for independent learning. I have found that it is better to have a teacher introdu...
