The software isn't the best, but I can export my designs from my other software as a photo file and the epson print disc software prints it beautifully.  I tried photo printing for the first time today and LOVE IT!  I love the 5 ink concept - the images are so crisp.  I've only had the printer for a week now, but so far I'm completely happy with it.  The price was great too."

It sounds great! I am using a Harmon Kardon 3380 receiver and 2 Klipsch SB-1 bookshelf speakers, and this sub in a 12x20 room and it fills the room with sound.I listen to mostly jazz and classical, with some new-age thrown in. On ocassion though I pop in Sound Garden or Metallica too. I find that I have to adjust the bass output down quite abit when rockin' out, or the bass is overwhelming.There is no auto on feature on this sub, but I have it plugged into a switched outlet on the receiver, so it goes off and on with it.Overall, I recommend it highly."
0,34_1_R62ZHMJJS21E3.txt,5.0,Great value,"June 28, 2010",B. Cammack,"Silvertone Rockit 21 Guitar Package, Wine Red (Electronics)","I picked up one of these at a garage sale for $20.  I replaced a broken pickup selector switch ($13.00), installed a new set of strings, adjusted the action, intonation, and pickups.  It rocks!  I'd buy a brand new one at this price in a heartbeat.
 
 These are made by Samick, who purchased the Silvertone name to directly sell their guitars in America instead of just building guitars for other manufacturers.  The Epiphone SG Custom was manufactured by Samick for Epiphone/Gibson for a while.  I saw one with exactly the same inspection sticker as my yard-sale Silvertone!
 
 My unit is fairly beat up, but some touch up with a black Sharpie prettied it up quite a bit.  I suspect that the switch was broken when the guitar did a face plant at some point.  Buy a guitar stand if you order one of these.  Despite all of this, the neck on mine was dead-straight after a slight adjustment of the truss rod.
 
 I love mine.  I'll bet you like yours once you get it set up correctly.   I'm eyeing that SSLA-30 Blues Master (http://www.amazon.com/Silvertone-Master-Electric-Guitar-Transparent/dp/B000189YBW) as my next electric guitar.
 
 I'm sold on Silvertone guitars."
0,47_11_R1NXRDDF2A9WBK.txt,4.0,"Good fit, okay finish","June 25, 2010",Shodan CST,MiVizu Black iPhone 4G Skin Case for iPhone 4 / 4th Generation compatible with 16GB / 32GB + Screen Protector and MiniSuit LCD Cleaner keychain,"I order this product after pre-ordering my iPhone 4 on June 15th.  It was the only case I could find that seems to readily availble to ship from the merchant.  Received the item promptly just a few days before the phone arrived.  It included a front screen protector and a cleaning cloth.  
 
 The fit is pretty accurate and serves the purpose for protecting the sides and back of the phone considering it was likely manufactuered with limited specs available for the iPhone 4.
 
 My only complaint is with the finish - there is a raised seam all the way around the sides (and over the round volume buttons) where it's aparent the two halves the of the case were fused together or the injection mold wasn't cut properly. And the edges of the open cutouts for the headphone, mute button, dock connector, etc has a similar yet smaller lip around the openings.
 
 A minor complaint with the screen protector that it has that ""rainbow"" or oily look to it when held at an angle to the room light when the phone is off or on standby.  But viewing the phone directly you can't see it.
 
 But for my needs - having a case and screen protector available for the day I got my phone for a inexpensive price - this case meets my needs.  I plan to replace it in the future as other product become available and use this case as a back up.
 
 (Pictures of the seams coming soon)"

Great technology, great design with the motor on the top so you can easily transfer from one task to the next.  I love it!! I had purchased the Vita Mix back in July 2009, I used it about six times and the motor burnt out!  I was able to return it without a problem but I really was looking for a machine like the Ninja.  I can make smoothies, and silky sorbets using frozen fruit.  I love it so much I bought two(2) of them! I purchased mine at Target for $49.99.  I think that was a great price after having spent $400.00 on the Vita Mix which in my opinion is old technology compared to the Ninja.   The Ninja really does perform great!!

This is an amazing product. I had been using a different media player whose memory (60 gb) got filled up with my music. No fear of that with this one (160 gb). Once you get used to using iTunes (yeah, you have to), it is quite easy to set up your music any which way you want. It is quite simple to build playlists by album, genre, or artists.

0,3_2_R3IGU0BNYTSUQ0.txt,5.0,Bigger than I thought with same DSi functions!,"March 28, 2010",AlexJouJou,Nintendo DSi XL Bronze (Video Game),"Firstly I'd like to say I'm a 43 year old mom. I got into gaming several years ago and my kids and I have a lot of fun with the Nintendo DS. We have had the original DS, DS Lites, DSi's, and now the DSi XL. I got an XL for myself. My son has many GBA games so he doesn't want one (because the DSi XL cannot play any GBA - Gameboy Advance- games) and my daughter thought it was too big to be portable. She likes something that fits easily into a backpack or jacket pocket. Although I think the XL could I'd probably agree if you are going for portability then the regular DSi should do you just fine. The reason I chose the XL is because I play primarily at home and I play a lot of puzzle games. Someimes these types of games are hard to see, especially the seek and find. I'm hoping this larger sized one helps that. 
 
 Even though I knew it was larger it is LARGER than I thought. That's a good thing because it is almost more like a PDA or something as far as size. Nice and substantial. It is also heavier than I anticipated. This is the only thing I'm a little concerned with as I like to play laying in bed at night and sometimes I'll play for a couple of hours. I would not want my hand getting extra tired holding the unit up. Additionally it is not as easy to hold this one handed and put the stylus in the other. It might be a fine line but it doesn't quite feel as comfortable as the DSi in that regard. It feels similar to how the PSP would feel if you held it one handed. Slightly off balance. Edited to Add: Played for 2 hours last night. Although it took a while I did find a comfortable position to hold the XL. It is not as comfortable for extended periods as the regular DSi but it did not get too heavy and my arms did not get sore. I'm quite relieved!
 
 The top part actually has an audible click when you open up the unit. The DSi did not have this click although one of our DS Lite units did. The regular DSi opened smoothly without any catches--this one does not. There is definitely a click. The hinge looks strong enough. We lost one DS Lite to the hinge crack issue so I'm glad to see these hinges look sturdy. The other thing regarding the hinges is that the top piece moves a little when you move the unit. It is not super floppy but it does move when the unit does. I tested it against the DSi and the DS Lite and it took more effort to make those cover or top pieces move. It may be the weight itself which causes this. I will be keeping an eye on my hinges though just to be sure. 
 
 It connected right up to my internet with no problems. I went into the DSi shop and I didn't notice any difference between the XL and my regular DSi. Flawless. I must say, though, that I HATE that I could not take my DSi games with me to this upgrade (Nintendo is so far behind the ball on this and it is one of few complaints I have of Nintendo). Lame Nintendo. Seriously lame!
 
 I got the bronze. It has a nearly black top and the inside is black. The bronze is only on the bottom and sides and it is definitely bronze. From the pictures online it looks more chocolate brown but it is not. I wavered back and forth with this and burgundy. I have not seen the burgundy out of the box but suspect it looks gorgeous. The glossy top looks like an overcoat similar to what is put on cars and trucks. Not like how the DS Lite covers were (although in two tone color this one is nearly exactly the same as the DS Lite Crimson or Blue with the colors in the same places and black in the same places except for the top because this one has the bronze color around the edges and the DS Lite's had the crimson or blue).
 
 It does not feel ""matte"" on the bottom.It has a slightly grainy feel--not sure how to describe it. Kind of like how the non shiny cover of my printer feels. I remember when I got the DSi it almost seemed grainy and powdery. Not so with the XL.  
 
 Overall I'm very happy with the color-its classy!
 
 Screen: This was my big worry. So far those worries are fairly groundless. I've tested out several types of games and in most apsects it is absolutely as good as the regular DSi. For the most part I get no pixelation or stretching and I definitely haven't noticed any ghosting or lines. While I was playing Bejeweled Twist I did notice that the gems were not as crisp as they are on the regular DSi. For me it was noticable but not bothersome. They were not blurry just a little more fuzzy than normal.  
 
 Edited to Add: I've tried several additional games and haven't noticed any issues except on games like Lunar Knights which already had a more pixelated look even on my DS Lite and regular DSi. Just slightly more noticable here but again not enough to impact. If I wasn't such a video game addict I likely wouldn't notice but I play every day. 
 
 My original DSi had several problems (Nintendo sent me a replacement)-this one has none of them. The battery cover does not ""cave"" in like my DSi and the insert window around the touch screen is solid--no light shows through. This XL feels as if it is a much higher quality console. 
 
 I've played with the regular stylus and the bigger pen type stylus. Either is fine but I prefer the regular stylus. The pen stylus might be good for someone who likes to hold the stylus like a pen but it is not a make or break for me. 
 
 The other functions (camera and the settings) worked well. No problems encountered. The charger looks to be the same as the regular DSi and this unit fits fine in my G Pak organizer. Edited to Add: Sound--it is actually slightly better sounding than the regular DSi. It feels as if it almost has a deeper sound. More like surround type sound. Also if you have a regular DSi there is a point when you are adjusting sound where it goes from quieter to regular and almost seems like it skips a step. The XL does not do this -- the sound progression is very good. I put in my Dragon Quest V as the music is very majestic and it felt more like it was enveloping me in the sound than a regular DSi (tested it with my daughters).
 
 Overall I'm very happy and will update with the weight issue if it becomes a problem. Other than that I'm excited to go play my games and see them on the big screen!"
1,276426_6_R1UC05T0AVT9C0.txt,1.0,More Social Commentary than Good Science Fiction,"May 2, 2010",T. Dowell,Avatar (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray),"So is this the best selling movie of all time?  Well it is certainly the most over hyped and overrated movie of all time.  Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy good science fiction movies, but this is nothing more than typical Hollywood social commentary wrapped up in a long and boring melodrama with unrealistic and drawn out action scenes.  
 
 The social commentary becomes paramount to the movie and prevents this from being any more than a simplistic storyline with stereotypical characters who have unimaginative roles.  There are no suprises here.  No unexpected turns or twists.  It almost verges on satire.  The movie is supposed to be futuristic, with complex technology, and sophisticated technological operations on planet Pandora.  You would think it would require humans with specialized training sophistication as well; yet the guy running the robotic bulldozer is portrayed as some redneck in in his flannel shirt and baseball cap.  The evil money grubbing corporate guy is dressed in a present day shirt and tie, practicing his golf skills in the middle of the operations room.  T-shirts, present day military outfits, bows and arrows?  Futuristic?  Give us a break."

I haven't found any place other than Amazon where they're cheaper - Amazon is the place to buy them.  I've also purchased a case of the travel size wipes for the diaper bag - they're perfect.  I was actually given a case of huggies wipes at my baby shower and haven't used them because I like the Seventh Generation ones better.

1,5_14_R2BECJPRGIF9M.txt,1.0,Are You KIDDING Me?,"March 4, 2008",A. Changeling,"Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) (Paperback)","I understand setting. And build up. And suspense. So after reading 100  pages of this book, I didn't give it too much thought that nothing had happened. Here is my report of what happened after that:
 
 200 pages: Nothing has happened.
 
 300 pages: Nothing has happened. 
 
 350 pages: Nothing has happened.
 
 400 pages: NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
 
 Are you Kidding me?
 
 Wait. WAIT. On page 441, something happens. SOMETHING IS HAPPENING. O my God, this is it. Something is really going to happen! I plodded through this padded wasteland and finally something is going to happen!
 
 Oh. Wait. It's resolved by page 451. 
 
 I'm not making this up.
 
 So let me sum it up for you. 
 
 Bella falls for Edward because he is attractive (we are told he looks like an ""angel"" ""is angelic"" ""is seraphic"" and oh, again, ""looks like an angel,"" on about pages 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 17, 20, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44 . . . you get the idea. I understand that ""angel"" might not be in a thesaurus, but FOR GODDSAKES, find a new description. Also, his hair is described, alternately, as auburn and bronze. Did anyone else have a problem with the fact that these are completely different colors? Seriously.
 
 So Bella loves Edward for his looks. How precious.
 
 Edward loves Bella for her smell. 
 
 What a beautiful, timeless romance. 
 
 Spare me. 
 
 Also, was anyone painfully unimpressed with the whole Alice side-story? Meyer obviously planted the hints about Alice's missing memory, only to explain it away later to *shock and surprise* us, with something completely uninteresting. It's like the saying goes: if you see a gun in chapter one, it's going to go off in chapter three. But if the gun goes off in chapter three during target practice and only manages to hit a tree branch, did it even NEED to be in chapter one in the first place? The Alice thing was pointless. Call me when you have a real twist.
 
 I imagine this book is lovely for ambitious twelve year olds who want to tackle a five hundred page novel. They will find it easy to do so, because Twilight reads like a painfully long letter an immature but stuck-up pre-adolescent writes to her pen pal. 
 
 I am SO SAD this passes for good teenage fiction.
 
 And this is why, when someone announces she writes Young Adult fiction, that people say, ""Why don't you want to write real books?""
 
 And that
 Sucks."

Ralph,LG Neon GT365 Prepaid GoPhone (AT&T) with $50 Airtime Credit (Wireless Phone),"I bought this phone to replace one I had that wasn't working well.  I need to say though that I do not use this with a gophone plan.  I have a regular family plan with AT&T and of course the customer service will not tell you that you can use a gophone as a replacement.  If you aren't eligible for an upgrade they will tell you that you have to buy one at full price, usually $200 & up.  Gophones work just fine, just don't use the sim card that comes with it, put in the one from your old phone.  It actually has directions inside the package that tells you how to use the gophone with your regular plan, and they credit the $50 airtime as like an extra 150 minutes to your plan.  As far as the phone, I couldn't be happier.  The slide feature is great with the qwerty keyboard and the battery life has been great.

Lawrence,The God Delusion (Paperback),"I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for answers to Life, the Universe and Everything (with apologies to Douglas Adams - read that one too!). Written with passion and insight it makes compelling reading. If you are an independent thinker, a quester for answers to the origin of the human race and one who has an open mind about the effect that mythology (religion) has had on human history, you will find this book enthralling. This book should appeal to atheists because it tells them that they no longer have to put up with mythologies foisting their views on them and they should be confident and proud to be an independent thinker. The book should also be read by creationists because how can you condemn it if you haven't read it? (Notice how many people condemn evolution without ever having opened a book of Darwin's and yet non adherents to mythology seem to have read many of the great mythological works such as the Bible). Read it. It may change your life. You won't regret it."

0,7_7_R38E25GZJ8X5PQ.txt,5.0,Better than the first!,"February 27, 2009","C. R. Swanson ""wilybadger.wordpress.com""",Fable II (Video Game),"Fable II, the aptly-named sequel to Fable, hit the markets a while back. I didn't have a way to play it then, but I do now, so even if this review isn't terribly timely, I hope you'll find it helpful.
 
 The game takes place in the world of Albion, a beautiful, lovely world somewhere between the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. In that it quickly differentiates itself from most fantasy worlds.
 
 You play the Hero. You don't get a name, but you can get titles (like Lionheart, Executioner or the NAMBLA-friendly, Chicken Chaser). You can be male or female, good or evil. You can marry the opposite sex or the same sex. You can customize your looks with new hair styles, tattoos, facial hair and hair dye. You get all sorts of different clothes to pick from, and get scars when you die. You also age.
 
 In addition, you get a whole slew of skills. You can learn how to chop wood, for example. If that's not exciting enough, you can also tend bar! Blacksmithing, bounty hunting and a couple other jobs round things out.
 
 If jobs aren't your thing, you can go on a whole series of quests, though not very many. During these quests, you can earn gold which you can use to buy all the usual stuff, plus real estate. Yes, if you want you can become the next Donald Trump! One of my friends has done this and basically owns every bit of property that can be owned.
 
 This is an action RPG, which is different from regular RPGs in that you don't select options from a menu screen. No, instead you bash, smash and crush your enemies by repeated button-mashing. Think of the Zelda games. You have both melee weapons and ranged weapons as well as a series of spells, some of which can be lots of fun!
 
 Along the way, you have a dog acting as your faithful companion. Allegedly he helps in fights, but not so you'd notice. What he mostly does is sniff out treasure, and that's a damn nice thing, given how well-hidden some of the treasure chests are.
 
 Graphics wise, this is one of the most beautiful games on any system. Everything looks gorgeous, even the darker and more unpleasant spots.
 
 If it seems like I'm focusing overly much on the non-story aspects of the game, it's cause the story, well, kind of falls short. It's the usual ""fight against someone who killed your sister"" kind of plot. Nothing memorable. It's also rather brief. There's nothing wrong with it, per se, but it's not very original.
 
 Still, the joy is in the journey, and this is one of the best games of its kind out there. Highly recommended!"

0,33_12_RU0BR91PJ2DG7.txt,5.0,"A whole lot of polishing make it an efficient, worhtwhile upgrade","June 16, 2010","Surgery100 ""ADJ""",Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student (Disc Version) (DVD-ROM),"I've had an opportunity to use Office 2010 Beta edition for a couple of months now and now that I see the full, final, edition I can say that this is a very worthwhile upgrade. First things first, I am not a techie. I am someone who uses Word, Excel and PowerPoint on a very regular basis, who really liked some of the changes in Office 2007 but who thought some things needed tweaking, so when given the opportunity for the beta edition I jumped on it and have not been disappointed. Office 2010 is to Office 2007 what Windows 7 was to Vista; that is, there are not many breakthrough, drastically different features, but a whole lot of polishing and cleanup to make it easier and more efficient.  Overall, the program seems to run faster, incorporates many of the most commonly used options and makes them more accessible (eliminating many dialog boxes and tabs) and allows for more customization.
 
 At first glance it looks very much like its predecessor, the ribbon is back and it is now also found on OneNote.  There are plenty of sites that will give you a play-by-play on all the features available in this new version, so I'm just going to mention some of the biggest improvements that I've seen.   
      1)	The biggest change is the addition of the web apps.  It may not be a true direct competitor to google docs, but it   allows for easier sharing of documents, as well as making your documents more accessible.  
      2)	The ribbon is back and it now includes the ""File"" option and a new feature called ""Backstage view.""  Backstage view incorporates the most commonly used actions in one place (yay! no more dialog boxes with tabs).  You get the usual open, save and print, but you also get several templates for new documents, print layouts and ways to share your work, all without dialog boxes and tabs, everything is much more easily accessible. 
      3)	Another new feature is that the ribbon is now customizable so you can organize it according to your needs.  
      4)	There is a Paste Preview which lets you switch between paste options so you can make sure that your work will be formatted correctly.
 
 Changes in PowerPoint.
 You can now edit video directly on PowerPoint. You can trim a video, add effects, fades and even triggers for animations for the presentation.  Another new feature is that you can add effects and edit images without the need for third party software.
 
 Changes in Word.
 One nifty new feature in Word is called ""Navigation pane,"" which replaces the old document map. It incorporates minor changes in design that make big changes in productivity and ease of use. It allows you to quickly rearrange the document. Take for example a document with several headings/sections.  The Navigation pane provides a list of all the headings.  The headings are live, so you can drag them up or down, thus rearranging the document.  It also incorporates most of the functions that used to be available in the ""Find"" dialog box but now they are all visible so you don't have to go digging through several menus to find the option that you need.
 
 Changes in Excel.
 Most of the changes in Excel deal with very large datasets. There is a new PowerPivot add-in which works great if you are dealing with a very large dataset that does not fit in one Excel spreadsheet. PowerPivot pulls the data from multiple sources (several Excel spreadsheets for instance) to analyze it.
 
 Summary:
 Overall this is one well planned and executed upgrade that essentially takes all the promises of Office 2007 and makes them a reality. Yes, some things are different, and it will take some getting used to; but, once you realize the improvement in efficiency you'll agree that the changes are mostly for the positive.   The only thing that I truly wish had changed but didn't is that this version does not include Outlook. That is available in the Home and Business version."

1,276425_11_R9OGOZLOROD7F.txt,5.0,A real page turner!,"October 19, 2004",Shadfox,Boldtext Pew Bible: King James Version (Hardcover),"Looking for a spooky tale to curl up to this Halloween season?  Is there a glaring gap between your Stephen King and Anne Rice books on the shelf?  Here's the perfect horror novel to plug it with!
 
 A supernatural thriller to the core, the monster in this book will thrill and chill you! A demonic entity named Yahweh sets humanity up with the perfect trap: the Tree of Life. Knowing they'll eat the otherwise purposeless fruit, he slaps them with a generational curse that binds them to his malevolent will!  What follows is the most twisted tale of evil ever written! Yahweh, egotistical and ragingly jealous, uses those under his control to rape and pillage cultures that don't worship him.  Men, women and animals alike were slain in these bloodthirsty raids.  The only hope you had was being a virgin woman whom Yahweh encourages to be conquested [Deuteronomy 21:10-13], [Deuteronomy 20:13-16].
 
 If you have a hard time reading about cruel animal and human sacrifices, perverted sexual references and the murder and abuse of children I suggest not picking this up.  This is a true tale of horror and our villian is far from tactful!  However, Yahweh's not a transparent, homocidal manaic.  To be so would be far too predictable and I commend the author on his skillful character development.  What makes Yahweh so fiendish is that he commits his violent acts under the veneer of love! To fool humanity futher he sent down a hippy version of himself and later set that person up to die, quenching his bloodlust once again.  But, that's not where the horror ends!  I hate to give away the ending but it's far too devious to go unmentioned!  In the end his cult followers will be sucked  into an alternative dimension where they will toil and praise his ego to neverending extents.  Those who choose not to accept his conditional, unconditional love will find themselves in a sadistic torture pit of his making.
 
 What's really neat about this work of fiction is you don't even have to pay for it!  There's many fan bases out there that will happily provide you with a copy!"

 After keeping Dad in a cardboard cylinder in the garage on the workbench near his tools, where he was most at home for a couple of years, Mom had to move to an assisted living facility. Since she talks to him every day, we had to prepare Dad for the move. He wasn't too happy about it, and he was pretty upset that we spent so much money for his new home, especially since the old one was free from the crematorium. He also wasn't too happy about being stuck in the same room with Mom all the time, because now he'd have to listen to her talking all day. 
 
 When I told him the urn was pretty soundproof, he said ok. So I poured him in. He just fit, but I spilled a little of him on the workbench.He was ok with that. 
 
 I guess we'll get the matching one for Mom when the time comes. Dad said to wait for a good sale, and be sure there's enough room for a phone so she won't nag him all day. 
 
 Dad, it's been almost 5 years, and I miss you like it was yesterday. Mom doesn't miss you so much. To her, you're still there."

0,5_17_R1A6U10UV6Z126.txt,4.0,It's The End Of the World As We Know It--Several Times,"April 22, 2010","K. Harris ""Film aficionado""",The Passage (Hardcover),"It has been a while since I've encountered a horror novel of such magnitude and scope, but Justin Cronin's hefty tome ""The Passage"" seems poised to announce itself as the latest true ""horror epic.""  It's about time too!  Ambitious and thought-provoking, but filled with propulsive action and bloodshed, ""The Passage"" is the thinking person's genre thrill ride.  This massive book starts in the near future with a pretty unique combination of vampiric lore meshed with science gone awry.  But Cronin, while nailing these explosive first chapters, has much more up his sleeve.  The expansive (and sometimes it seems the story will never end) plot resets several times until we have followed the confrontations to their inevitable conclusion many generations later.       
  
 The comparisons to Stephen King's ""The Stand"" seem apt and, I believe, will be widespread.  And in case anyone has a passing interest on where I fall on ""The Stand,"" I think it's the best book of its type that I've ever read.   Although the books are quite different in plotting and structure, thematically they share much.  From the veritable destruction of the world as we know it, to the efforts to rebuild some semblance of a new world order, to the ultimate confrontation between good an evil replete with the requisite supernatural underpinnings--both books challenge ordinary citizens to rise to extraordinary levels to champion the human cause.  In the right hands, these apocalyptic epics can be unforgettable--and I'll just say that Cronin's hands are quite capable.  
  
 Don't misunderstand the King reference, however, ""The Passage"" stands as its own unique portrait of a ravaged future.  It's just that there are so few horror novels that set out to accomplish so much in storytelling.  Cronin's novel is gutsy, challenging and filled with high level drama of the first order.  It's not breezy or light entertainment, however.  It's a serious reading commitment for those looking for their gore mixed with a lot of substance.  A real change-of-pace and a welcome new addition to the ranks of horror lore, ""The Passage"" has earned the title of ""epic."""

0,29_2_R140EKI6DDIUU5.txt,5.0,Awesome overgrip!,"July 19, 2009",J. Lim,Wilson Pro Overgrip Tennis Racquet Grip (12 Pack) (Sports),"I've used this overgrip for years now, and I refuse to use any other overgrip. I realized that, after shelling out some real money for those dinky 3-packs at Sports Authority or Modell's, I stumbled across the 12-pack offered on Amazon and, well...I got it! 
 
 This isn't a real big deal, but I really like the way the individual grips are packaged. They are more folded than rolled, which prevents the overgrip from rolling up by itself after you've unraveled it. Again, NOT a big deal, but an added bonus IMO. 
 
 The texture of this grip is just tacky enough where it doesn't interfere with quick grip changes. It is, however, sticky enough to adequately stay in your hand without you having to worry about a slippery handle. 
 
 I don't remember if other colors are offered, but to me, WHITE is pretty classic on a tennis racket. Maybe it's because Federer uses it, and I love the guy, but regardless, buy this package of grips and be content!"

I don't regularly watch Nancy Grace on TV but I've caught it a few times when I was channel surfing.  Like when I've caught her on TV, I was glued to the book from the very beginning.  This book gives plenty of visual details and the writing flows easily.  It usually takes me a bit of time to warm up to a book and get to know the characters but this one had me from page one.  It is a quick read being only about 350 or so pages so to me it is like a good suspense thriller movie.  I am always looking for reading material to keep me on the treadmill and this fit the bill.

If you want a great tool for survival this is it. It is very sturdy and strong. The knife could be a little sharper than what it comes as but it is still sharp enough to cut paper. The razor at the top of the blade is very sharp as well. I bought this tool to be stored in my vehicle, I drive many miles every day and my worse nightmare is to witness a car accident and not be able to help the people involved. This tool is a sharp edge, a serrated edge, a seat belt cutter, a very effective pry bar (its greatest feature) and the right angle at the end of the tool can easily break a window with no problem. The sheath that is comes with is absolutely exquisite, I own many knives and this is the best sheath I have for any knife. Another great benefit to this knife is the fact that the handles can be easily removed for maintenance. You can definitely see that this knife is built to last a lifetime of abuse. I think this knife would be best suited for firefighters and police officers or maybe, like myself, the average joe that needs to be able to help when called upon. Like I said before this tool would be very good for camping and outdoor use, you can chop wood or skin an animal. I think of the lack of a point as a plus because it makes for a stronger tool, there's no tip to break off! Buy it, you will show it off to everyone and they are going to want one too!"
