You sign up for some cheap-sounding deal and then find yourself sucked into a never-ending membership with automatic reorders showing up in your mailbox without your intervention. The coffee is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~447319019140 Wed, 8 Oct 2008 21:33:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_447319019140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_421030039172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - EmWave is a well-made and interesting product that so far has given me good results. It gives you visual cues to use in regulating your breathing, which helps counteract stress or tension. Perhaps a nice meditation break under a tree would do just as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~421030039172 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:43:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_421030039172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412529823364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I've been enjoying Nutrex Spirulina Pacifica for many years. It's delicious and full of protein and vitamins. If you have trouble getting all the "leafy greens" you should, this food is a great supplement to use. I make smoothies with this stuff and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412529823364 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 21:45:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412529823364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412520648324?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I've never tried sinus irrigation before, and the Neilmed Sinus Rinse kit gave me a good first experience. There was no discomfort or mess, and afterward my sinuses and nasal passages were very clear. Cool! Neti-pots? I'd heard a lot about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412520648324 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 20:12:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412520648324?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412138245764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - What do you suppose it smells like when a cat pees into ground corn? Imagine that sickly sweet ammonia smell and you will know what it's like to scoop this litter. It is interesting stuff. Very light and fluffy. Yellowish in color. I have no doubt... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412138245764 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 21:47:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412138245764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412137328260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Recently I did some cat-sitting for a friend who uses this brand. They had two cat boxes, one with this "extra strength" variety and another with the "original formula" from the same brand. I preferred the extra strength variety due to its low dust, firm... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412137328260 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 21:37:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412137328260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_412006125188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I found this unit satisfactory if not great. The radio and video out port are nice touches. I found the sound quality good, though I'm not an advanced audiophile. After a while I did find the unit pretty ugly, and I was frustrated by the remote control,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~412006125188 Tue, 25 Dec 2007 19:00:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_412006125188?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_407884566148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I built a PC into this case and it did not come out so very silent as all the hype led me to believe. It definitely is a thoughtfully designed case with solid construction and good ergonomics, but by the time I was done with it, it whined as much as any... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~407884566148 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:09:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_407884566148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406173355652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I picked up a pair of these recently - great little hard drives. They are nearly silent. I slept with one next to my head for a couple of nights and didn't know the difference. Very very quiet. They connect to Mac or PC over USB 2.0 and are backward... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406173355652 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:48:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406173355652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404675858052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - "Bait and switch" is a term we've all heard but I'd never truly experienced it myself before booking a reservation at the North Conway Grand. Let's make it simple: 1) I booked an online reservation for a high-end room 2) The reservation said... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404675858052 Wed, 3 Oct 2007 01:29:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404675858052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403953716868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Nowhere does Targus promise that this keypad will be Mac-compatible, but I decided to take a chance. Keyboards seem pretty universal these days. No special drivers required or anything, right? Not in this case. This Targus keypad is a quality product... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403953716868 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 00:40:00 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403953716868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_399862632068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Thus far, after about two weeks of use, this is the best wireless access point I've ever owned (I've tried 3 others over the years). Wireless "N" is the newest generation of latest-and-greatest wifi, offering greater speeds and twice the range of the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~399862632068 Fri, 3 Aug 2007 12:36:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_399862632068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_365158436484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - So far I'm happy with my Dyson DC-17 Animal even though $500 does feel like a lot to pay. It's got powerful suction, a good design, versatile tools, and a robust brush that really gets the grit and hair out of my carpets. Let's get the bad stuff out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~365158436484 Mon, 21 May 2007 21:48:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_365158436484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_352303091332?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Last night I enjoyed this double feature at a theater where you sit in sofas and eat pizza while you watch: MISTAKE. Grindhouse is not something to watch while you eat. Rodriguez / Tarantino clearly had fun making this double feature homage to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~352303091332 Mon, 23 Apr 2007 16:03:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_352303091332?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_334108724868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I didn't know much about this disc when I bought it, just that it had been described as dreamy, guitar-based instrumental music by a band known for their mastery of the slow crescendo. That sounded pretty good to me. I thought of Tortoise right off the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~334108724868 Fri, 16 Mar 2007 15:34:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_334108724868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_323755871876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - These cold packs are strong and the straps work well. After some time in the freezer they have a lot of cooling power. They are not chemical packs - you need to put them in the freezer. They are reusable. I've used these cold packs in several places... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~323755871876 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:23:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_323755871876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_320713363076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Up again, down again, up again This router has been flaky, flaky, flaky since the day I bought it. I use it with a pair of Linksys wireless-G cards, inside a 2 bedroom apartment, and while signal strength is usually "good" or better, I am... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~320713363076 Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:17:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_320713363076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_287590485636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Civ 4 is a beautiful game with complex dynamics that will tempt your strategic mind and keep you entertained for many many hours of gameplay. It's a revolutionary improvement on Civ 3, but the step up in features has some quality bumps along the way... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~287590485636 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:43:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_287590485636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_315107937924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - While the LitterMaid Elite Mega doesn't completely fail as a product, I regret spending money on it. It is poorly designed and cheaply made, noisy, messy, and requires you to buy disposable refills forever. Overall not worth the money.

I thought that scheduling this at 2pm would be great. I'd come home from work each day and the house would be clean. I live in an 1100 square... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~291100593796 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 16:55:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_291100593796?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_264328023684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - I stayed a night at the Imperial Palace recently and it was an okay place to crash but nothing to crow about. It's getting long in the tooth as Vegas hotel/casinos go and offers little to the Vegas sightseer who doesn't gamble much. About the best I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~264328023684 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 22:01:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_264328023684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_250491997828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - As a big fan of The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, and other HBO shows, I was more than willing to give Rome a try. Combine that openness with a lifetime of fascination with the ancient world, and you've got an instant fan of this new series. Rome boldly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~250491997828 Sat, 26 Aug 2006 14:59:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_250491997828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_231547506308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Andyman - Director M. Night Shayamalan is known for making films with a big "Aha!" at the end. I found myself waiting for something like that with The Ice Storm, but it never came. The Ice Storm is a drama laden with weight but seemingly without a purpose.

I'm in town for the New York Meet & Greet and some vacation time, and overall the Park Central has been good to me. 7th Avenue near the lower tip of Central... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~224861392516 Thu, 30 Mar 2006 13:07:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_224861392516?linkin_id=8003929
