Real driving, Real challenging,

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 15:29:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - ** note: review written after the SpecIII update **GTP5 is a filler game between what was GT4 and what will be GT5 (which is not expected before Xmas 09). The development cycle for this type of game is tremendously long, so this game does come...

Worth every expensive cent!

Mon, 19 Jan 2009 00:05:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - So, to my total surprise I got into various racing and driving simulators on both the PC and my Playstation 3. It was very quickly obvious that to totally enjoy these I would need a proper racing wheel and since realism was my goal, I wanted everything -...

Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Inkjet Printer: Incredible quality at a price

Wed, 29 May 2002 01:02:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - I waited a long time to buy this printer. It took a lot of personal justification to spend the money. In the end I got it refurbished directly from Epson's website.

The archival inks and the specialty papers add to the cost of printing with...

Focus Camera: They have been a great place to work with

Sun, 26 May 2002 22:12:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - I have shopped at Focus Camera extensively over the last 2 years and have been hugely pleased.

When I was browsing through Epinions I thought I'd check out other merchants and was shocked to see a low rating for this place. My experience has...

Updated review of a fantastic BCD!

Sun, 26 May 2002 21:54:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - After initially going for a new BCD with my last BCD purchase, I decided that I wasn't making a big mistake with this selection. The Zeagle Ranger has an outstanding reputation and has been the standard BC for Zeagle for years. When you dive...

Wide open spaces and lots of animals

Sat, 24 Nov 2001 13:54:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - My wife and I moved from Michigan to Florida in September, and so had to drive our cars to our new house. On the way we stopped at many places, but this was the one that was the most enjoyable.

Billed at the 'original' drive through zoo, Lion...

Enjoyed every minute of it... Wish there were more to enjoy!!!

Thu, 22 Nov 2001 18:22:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - We walked out of this movie, and the first thing that came from our mouths were "Well, Hollywood didn't get hold of that one." And that is a great thing.

Despite the massive backing of AOL Time Warner, which was obviously used for effect etc,...

Shrek is ruined by plot and juvenile humor

Sun, 24 Jun 2001 01:27:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - I had my doubt about this movie before I went in, but I was persuaded by a lot of my friends that it was a good movie. So, with a few hours to spare, myself and my Significant other went and saw this movie.

Lets get the good out of the way now...

Atlantis - It didn't sink but it was in danger

Sun, 24 Jun 2001 00:45:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - Ok - after the miserable experience of Shrek (*argh* see my review of this disaster), I had lowered expectation of this movie.

It delivered reasonably well, and for a matinee showing, it was well worth the $5.50 I paid to see it.

Spirit Airlines - You can get to Florida, but can you take the rough edges

Sat, 12 May 2001 17:42:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - Being cheap, when it comes to flying for my personal needs, I often use Spirit airlines. Being in Detroit, and shortly moving to the Ft Lauderdale airport this is a cheap alternative to flying Northwest, but there is huge trade offs. I deal with the...

Northwest: A Detroit Person says #1 In My Mind

Sat, 12 May 2001 00:24:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - Northwest airlines - nine years a go when I first came to Detroit, I would have agreed with the 'Northworst' designation...

No longer...

I fly every week out of Detroit - sometimes multiple times. About three years ago Northwest...

Amy Slates - A Perfect Diving Get Away

Fri, 11 May 2001 23:27:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - We selected the dive operation based on my previous experience with Amoray a few years ago. An excellent choice, with the boat just a few steps from the rooms.

The rooms here are functional, and I was very pleased. Tile floor for all that wet...

Awesome reg for a good price

Fri, 11 May 2001 23:11:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - I can't say enough about the performance of this regulator as a recreational diver.

It has performed extremely well in a variety of conditions, including the most challenging that could be considered recreational. In this I mean I have taken...

The BEST combo coffee maker!

Fri, 11 May 2001 21:37:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - We drink massive amounts of coffee, so this machine gets heavy duty usage! We have Gevalia deliver coffee, and we bring Second Cup beans back from Canada regularly (they are the best morning brew ever). We also both work out of home offices, so when we...

If it wasn't for the Pandas...

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 00:39:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - Ok - I got lucky when we visited Zoo Atlanta. Firstly, it was a nice cool day, so the Pandas were out, happily munching away at their bamboo. And then one for a trot. They are just adorable and well worth the visit.

Remember I went in early...

Aladin Air X - Great Air Computer

Sat, 20 Jan 2001 05:46:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - I have now used this particular computer on over 100 dives, and it is an awesome computer. I mounted the transmitter, followed the easy to follow instructions on how to 'pair' the transmitter with the wrist console and all things looked good.

...

Atomic Splitfins - Awesome!

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 13:43:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - Ok - my SO and buddy is 4' 10" and 100lbs soaking wet. She uses NO air, and it takes no effort for her to zoom off as she is extremely streamlined. She also had the wonderful Mares Quattro fins.

Me - I'm 6'2", 220lbs. I had a pair of...

D&B - still king!

Fri, 27 Oct 2000 02:47:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - I once again had the pleasure of going to Dave & Busters in Hollywood, Florida on my recent trip there. There is a D&B locally in Detroit, but it is way out of the way, so I don't get there often...

So with a few hours to kill, myself...

PADI Advanced Open Water: Advanced Course Gives You A Variety of Diving

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 11:51:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - The advanced course I took was with a trusted instructor. Having this certification allows you greater freedom with almost every dive operation, as they feel safer taking you diving some of the more advanced dives.

I highly advice taking the...

SeaMaster Pro Excels Underwater and Topside

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 11:27:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - What a wonderful, easy to use underwater camera. I bought the whole thing as a full kit - viewfinder, lenses, strobe, etc. Remember the MMII-EX is the same camera, but can be bought online, while the SeaMaster Pro is a dive shop only product. The...

Worth a visit - Very Nice

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 09:54:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Marriard - Miami MetroZoo was excellent. Really great.

Myself and my wife-to-be love zoos, and we make it a point to visit zoos as we travel (and we travel a lot to scuba dive). As you can't fly for 24 hours after your last scuba dive, a day at the zoo...
