80,000 miles and it's all downhill

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:35:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - Like most cars with mileage creeping up in years, my 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 seems to be getting a little worse for the wear. I am by no means "a car person," and I know very little about the mechanics of how a car works. However, I have owned this car...

Worth every penny!

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:56:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - My now-husband and I stayed here during the first night of our honeymoon, and our only regret is that we didn’t book the hotel for more than one night! Everything was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back. LOCATION and SERVICE The hotel...

Mediocre Establishment

Wed, 30 May 2007 16:57:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - Our experience at the Days Inn was a short one, but one I would probably seek to avoid again. To be sure, we did not have an awful experience or anything, but we did not leave happy. LOCATION: It took us a bit longer to find the motel than we...

Definitely worth $119, but $250 not so much

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - My family and I recently stayed at the Westchester Marriott while in the NYC area for a college graduation. We have stayed in many Westchester hotels and motels during the last four years, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this one...

$130 a night goes a long way here!

Tue, 9 May 2006 01:18:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - After staying in Tarrytown's Spring Hill Suites on two separate occasions, I am very confident in recommending it for those needing lodging in the area. The cost, location, customer service, and great room layout all stood out to me as outstanding...

Traveling I-80?

Sun, 23 May 2004 22:17:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - Time and time again, life throws curb balls at us. This is even truer while traveling. Although I did not plan to stay overnight in a motel on my trip from New York to Chicago, I found myself quickly looking for accomodations. During my trek in May, a...

Great for Specials or Conferences

Fri, 16 Apr 2004 16:37:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - Tarrytown is a virtually unknown town in Westchester, NY. More famous is Sleepy Hollow of Ichabod's stories. Either way, both of these villages (yes, they're small enough to be villages) are quaint and cozy. But given their proximity to New York City,...

Lexmark Z705 Photo Jetprinter InkJet: Lexmark passed the college student test!

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 16:55:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I received this printer as a Christmas gift this past December, and I am still very pleased with it. The main selling points for this piece of hardware are that it is very economical, easy to use, and prints well. What more could you want for an...

The Heavyweight of Bargain Scales

Tue, 27 Jan 2004 02:16:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - So I wanted to buy a scale. A scale is one of those items that I always wanted to have, but I never really needed one enough to reason that I should actually BUY the thing- until recently. As I was perusing the aisles of my local Super Target in...

Great campus gear

Mon, 29 Sep 2003 16:01:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - This is the first Jansport backpack I have ever owned. I must admit that I have long been a loyal Eastpak owner for years for purely aesthetic reasons, but after my fourth backpack strap ripped, I decided to shop around. I am a college student, so...

Convertible Strapless Wonderbra® Style #7154: Whoops, there goes my bra

Sat, 27 Sep 2003 01:28:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I have a tiny frame and a tiny bust (34B) to accompany it. Therefore, I love WonderBra because they make push-up and padded bras. Although their bras are pricey, I normally feel that they are very much worth the price. However, I was extremely disapp...

Must Read for Teenage Girls!

Fri, 26 Sep 2003 22:07:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - Who this book is for: I am a college freshman, and I was assigned to read this book for a seminar I was taking about the psychology of mothers and daughters. We studied this book extensively, and I believe a wide ranger of readers would enjoy it. E...

Can You hear me now?

Mon, 22 Sep 2003 16:25:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - No! No one can hear you when your phone inexplicably stops working! Ok, now that I have vented some frustration, let me begin. First of all, I am a broke college student which tells you that I needed a dorm phone that was both cheap and space-savin...

Marymount Campus: Bring a Car or lots o Cash!

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 20:38:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - CAMPUS: The Marymount campus is located in Tarrytown, New York. It is adjacent to Sleepy Hollow, home of the Washington Irving "Headless Horseman" tale, but put simply, it is not the hubbub of excitement. The campus is very pretty and quaint...

Putting the G's to work

Sun, 14 Jul 2002 20:14:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I am the type of person who is not, under any circumstance, an impulse buyer. When I decide to purchase an item, it generally takes me weeks to decide on which model or type of item I will be happy with. So, let us just make it clear that I went...

Smoothing over a Skeptic

Sun, 30 Jun 2002 19:22:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - When I first heard a commercial for this lotion, I admit, I was intrigued. A moisturizer that after 4-6 could leave my skin firmer, smoother, and in much better condition?? For about five bucks?? It couldn't be!! Well, the more I thought about it,...

Your Shins Will Thank You

Sun, 30 Jun 2002 02:50:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I've been playing soccer for nearly ten years, and simply put, these are the coolest shin guards I've had. I play competitively outdoors and indoors, practically year-round. Amazingly, this particular pair of shin guards has lasted through three...

All of this for... what?

Fri, 28 Jun 2002 17:01:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - This film should not be initially cast as bad, per se. However, some serious flaws and failing greatly detract from what the movie could have been. It does have a semi-complicated story line with so many different feelings and characters...

My Newest "Must-Have"

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 20:22:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I, admittedly, have not always been fond of Banana Boat products, but recently I decided to take a chance on its Sunless Tanning Spray. I absolutely love it!

I was going on vacation this past spring and planned on wearing shorts. However, I...

Nike: A love/hate relationship

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 01:01:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I have mixed feelings about NIKE brand sports equipment. Overall, the company displays good design, but little in the way of practicality. The Tri Shield is a perfect example of this.

The first detail I noticed in these shinguards was the...

Napoli, Donna Jo: Napoli- Best Young Adult Author

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 19:30:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - In my opinion, Donna Jo Napoli writes some of the best literature for young adults. Her books are very spellbinding and contain imaginative plot twists.

Most of her books start off slow. However, I promise you they will pick up about...

I Can See Clearly Now...

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 14:13:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author RUPB - I, like many, was doomed to wear glasses in the 2nd Grade. I absolutely hated them, but was terrified of getting contacts because I HATE touching my eyes. However, when I got involved in sports I bit the bullet and went back to my optometrist.
