Catastrophic failure almost caused injury.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - I got my Nordictrack 980 about a year and a half ago. I particularly liked the ease of motion on it, there is no significant jerkiness to the exercise like I had noted on some other models. It has a number of very nice features. The most important...

Mon, 25 Mar 2002 14:17:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - Let me start off by saying that I worked for this company several years ago. I have no axe to grind.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - You know, I first got into computers to write papers for school. Then I discovered games, and games were cool. Then came the quickie sales job selling computers, and then I had to build a few to get out last minute sales. Then came the internet and a...

Walking along the sidewalk leading to Peir 39, I noticed the seaplane parked in the marina. "Wow, that's a good looking aircraft" I thought. "Nice to have your plane so close...

Embassy Suites Kansas City MO. International Airport: Nice place to live. A week at a time.

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 19:48:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - Since I started traveling I have stayed in a number of different hotels. So far, not one of them has equaled the pleasure of staying at Embassy Suites. Even when there was a problem, their response showed how good things could be. I've stayed at the...

16 inches doesn't seem like a big measurement until you see it as the diameter of a gun barrel. When you see an identical 16 inch rifle beside it, and a third beyond it, you begin to...

PLease, PLease let me play the game

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 20:23:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - It was hopeless. There was no way that I was going to get past the Star Trek Aramada display without buying one. "I just need a network card- I run in and get one and No games!" Right.

SO, I get the game home and installed...

O Wretched Burger

Fri, 1 Sep 2000 18:21:38 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - It had been a long week on the road, but I had a couple of hours to kill before I flew home.

Leap Of Faith

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 00:50:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - What an offer. Two phone lines, with all the trimmings, cable TV with about 30 more channels and extra boxes, and cable modem service for $140. It cut 1/3 off our bills with Mediaone and Verizon. Then I considered the possible headaches- if the procedure...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - There was a comedian who called Nyquil "The night-time, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, stuffy head, fever, what-the-hell-am-I-doing-on-the-kitchen-floor medicine." In truth, I would probably be pretty close to asleep before I finished the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - How do you lose a 35,000 ton aircraft carrier??!!

Intrepid Sea, Air Space museum- aboard the "Evil I"

Thu, 20 Jul 2000 01:08:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - One of my favorite aviation museums is the Intrepid. To understand my fascination with this ship and her display's I need to explain a little about her history. The USS Intrepid CV-11 is a World War II Essex class carrier. She was known by her crew, and...

This is not the garden

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - The garden of our discontent maybe. I was there. I was there for the last game of the Boston Celtic's in the Boston Garden. It was hot with no A/C, there were no concession stands anywhere, the view was terrible, the seats uncomfortable and the Celtics...

One of the five best purchases I ever made.

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 23:01:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - My Trek is about six years old. I have never regretted buying it, I only regret not using it more. Still, it gets out several times a year and I put maybe 100-110 miles on it in a given summer. I bought it because I wanted it to be the last bike I buy...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - I signed up with Metro Credit union About three years ago, because I was getting tired of the bigger banks gobbling each other up and sticking me with the task of changing all my auto-deduct accounts and changing over to all new ATM's. I am finally...

Better than fast food

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 14:16:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - I was just plain weary of Mcdonalds/Burger King/Wendy's. On yet another "emergency" trip, I was standing outside my hotel in Denver and the thought of facing another little Mcdonald's burger filled me with loathing. They are usually about the...

Not good with Cheeseburgers

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - A shake. I've always liked shakes. Two chocolate shakes a day? No problem.

A sensible dinner. I can do that.

Right!

The main problem with Slim Fast is not that the shakes taste bad. Made properly with crushed ice they are...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author starrion - Bally's is a great place to get in shape. Provided you're already in shape. When I signed up they offered me a membership that lasted 3 years but worked out to less than $8 a month. (In part because I paid fully up front)

It was a short trip that by all rights didn't need to have happened. But it was not mine to wonder why, just mine to fly and..... Well anyway, I get to Denver on yet another packed Delta flight and there is the...
