Much more than just another creatine supplement

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:47:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I've used BSN's CellMass in the past and liked it. Lately I've been interested in using a creatine supplement again and looking into what's offered. It appeared that a lot of serious bodybuilders were using Gaspari Nutrition's produts so I thought I'd...

Still searching for the right iron...

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:23:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I'm an avid ironer and am searching for an iron that will allow me to happily iron until my heart's content. I have three children under 10 years old and you can imagine the piles of laundry we go through every week. Download the latest podcast of my...

Reads like fiction

Mon, 4 Oct 2004 12:26:18 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I bought the book because I wanted to know more about the Navy's helicopter gunship role. There is some good information in the book about the birth and day-to-day operations of the HAL-3 warriors. Oddly, however, half of the book consists of stories of...

You get what you pay for

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 14:41:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - It seems like no two of these phones are created the same. Other Epinions.com reviewers have had problems with button functionality, batteries and signal quality. The talk button lately requires a more aggressive press than before but that may be due to...

An amazing trove of knowledge

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 14:18:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I grabbed this book because it was highly recommended for the information it presented on Krakatoa. Boy was it ever under-represented. Yes, it has a ton of information on Krakatoa. It's not just a presentation of information, however. It reads more...

The rear seat configuration alone will convince you!

Thu, 22 Apr 2004 00:30:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - It may look goofy but I as far as practicality goes, I love my egg! I get 17-18 MPG and have had no reliability problems. I was originally hearing more wind noise than I like but replacing some of the window door seals took care of that. There was a...

Crucial Technology Online Store: A great store with a great product at a great price. Woo hoo!

Wed, 21 Apr 2004 23:10:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I do computer support for the University of California and Crucial.com is the *only* place to buy memory. Their web site is an example of user friendly and just how easy it should be to find exactly what you want. Their customer support personnel are...

Staggeringly powerful serial

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 15:06:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - A serial is a book that's published in pieces, typically in a magazine. King had been playing with this story for a while but couldn't pin it down. About the same time, his publisher had been talking to someone about Charles Dickens' publications and the...

Want to be disappointed? Buy this keyboard!

Mon, 12 May 2003 14:52:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - If you'd like to get an idea of the quality of this keyboard, just take a look at Adesso's web site: http://www.adesso.us

If you'd like to jump right to their description of this keyboard you can use:...

Good, solid machine

Sat, 21 Dec 2002 03:35:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I'm a systems administrator at the University of California and support 1000 desktop/laptop computers. We see a lot of different classes of machines and a lot of different brands. When we have to go buy computers, we typically buy either Gateways or...

Skip it and move on to Innova

Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:57:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - Canidae was recommended by a couple of folks when I was looking for a quality food, so I tried a few bags. I used it for ~6 months to make sure the problems weren't just the girls' systems adjusting to new food. They weren't.

Their coats,...

Nice, comfortable, light helmet

Mon, 16 Dec 2002 04:09:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I purchased the Arai Signet Squadra for $385 from a local dealer because it fit my head better than any of the other helmets I tried on. I was looking for a good, comfortable, SNELL rated helmet and found one that was lighter than I'd expected. I can...

Why did I wait so long to buy it?

Mon, 16 Dec 2002 02:47:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - Before buying this I looked at a bunch of reviews here at Epinions. I'm somewhat skeptical of manufacturers' claims of technological glory as they're bound to be a little biased. The Panasonic microwaves with the inverter technology had good reviews on...

1993 Honda Civic: 210,000 miles and running great

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 18:46:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - I bought my Civic DX hatchback in 1993 to commute to school (60 miles from home). I didn't like the wheels/tires that came with the car so I replaced them. When I cornered hard I found that the tires stuck okay but, due to the high profile, rolled over...

Piece of junk!

Mon, 1 May 2000 21:13:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author jmclain - Almost since we bought it, the buttons are tempermental. Sometimes replacing the battery helps, sometimes it doesn't. I can't call any business that requires a touch-tone phone because, chances are, I can press all day but the button won't register. I've...
