Tony Hawk, the poster-boy for skateboarding worldwide, has monopolized the skating videogame genre with his franchise of eponymous games since its first incarnation on the Playstation 1. While early versions were lauded as excellent by critics and fans, over the many re-hashes and semi-sequels that have materialized, the series has hit somewhat of a snag, remaining stagnant and somewhat played ...

I run a RC club at my school, and we were desperately in need of something to do. I decided to get a RC toy for the club members to mess around with, so I headed out to Target to find something. They had a limited selection of RC, but I found what I was looking for - the Air Hogs Nano Hawk.I paid $40 for the Nano Hawk, not too bad. The Nano Hawk is a micro foam biplane. As opposed to the earlie...

I bought a set of these for my front and rear brakes on my 2003 Dodge Ram Hemi to go with new drilled and slotted rotors I was installing. I wanted a low dust brake pad, that would prolong rotor life, and that would also keep my brakes squeek free. The Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads were just what I was looking for. I had pricey 22 inch rims on my truck and I didn't want brake dust eat...

For my husband this Christmas I got him a Route 66 hooded sweat shirt. It’s made of 83% cotton and 17 % polyester. It’s green in color and has a label on the front saying “BLACK HAWK RANGER”. Then there’s a printed image of two hawk’s wings in the middle. This sweat shirt is so soft and comfortable that I have used it myself a few times. It’s nice a...

When I built my new computer, I decided not to use my old wireless adapter because the software for it was for Windows XP and earlier OS versions. I was going to install Windows Vista 64 bit for my new desktop, and I was under the impression that some older hardware was not compatible with Vista 64. To err on the safe side, I decided to buy a new wireless adapter made from the same manufactur...

Two years ago we bought this bag for our daughter who was then a Preparatory student. The bag has 4 big pockets, 2 in front and 2 at the back with 2 side pockets for sandwich and water container. What also made this bag very functional was that the book section is really huge that it can carry 10-12 books, 5-8 notebooks plus the pencil case, crayons and pad paper. With such space we tend to use...

When I graduated, I did not have many means to access the Internet through my desktop computer. I grew tired of dial-up, which had slow downloading speed and could potentially be interrupted by incoming phone calls. I searched for an alternative on my ...
