Timberland is one of the world’s best known boot companies. This is for good reason – their boots simply stand head and shoulders above other products on the market. I believe that the blend of rugged footwear with more casual styling will serve any buyers well. The amount of time that one will be able to use these boots is greater than that expected of even a well-made boot. The…
This complete collection showcases stellar video and a solid translation, a combination that will have viewers watching all six-plus hours of the show through. Elfen Lied is a show that breaks the anime genre free from its typically younger-leaning moorings. There are darker elements to the story, and Sentai has kept them all in this collection. No matter whether one likes subtitles or straight dubbing, this release has it. I…
Creatine has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to build muscle. With the advances that have been made in science, one does not even need to cycle off of creatine if they choose not to. These advances in science are largely being spearheaded by Performance Edge. Their Micronized Creatine is absorbed better by muscles, while is a substantially higher quality than other similar products on the…
I found that one of the drawbacks about the first season of Through the Wormhole was that the concepts that were covered in that season were a little bit on the elementary side. However, I feel that there has been progression towards more complex theories and schools of thought. This means that the second season of Through the Wormhole is more interesting; Morgan Freeman immediately gets to the nitty gritty…
There are a number of different possibilities for an individual to use the TDK BA100 headphones. I believe that they will run circles around other headphones when plugged into a laptop, and they are light enough to work well when one is working out or is on the treadmill. The balanced aspect to the headphones affords this versatility, while the headphones durability makes the list price of $199 seem downright…

Glutazorb is concentrated L-Glutamine. Glutamine is an amino acid, and it is present in high amounts in the human body. Supplementing with L-Glutamine can cleanse one body of the toxins that build up on a daily basis, but it is incredibly important for those on a workout regimen. This is due to the fact that it increases the quality of one’s immune system response, reducing one’s chance of picking up…
Soy crisps, at least those that Glenny’s put out, are a much better form of rice cakes. They possess a better crunch, a stronger flavor profile, and Glenny’s has provided buyers with a tremendous amount of variation in their line. I would strongly recommend Glenny’s Soy Crisps to anyone that is looking to better their diet. There may be Ranch and Cheddar flavors, but the healthy quality of the Soy…
Working out as a woman provides some negatives (namely breasts) that impact working out. A good workout bra is essential, and ASICS has created just that. The straps are made of a solid material that keeps everything stationary, while the fabric is light enough to not increase one’s body heat. The bra comes in a black/white or a white format, which allows for a wide array of workout outfits to…
Human Kinetics provides the most cutting-edge body and workout titles, no matter what activity, age, sport, or other unique quality one may possess. Tim Bishop has created Stronger Legs and Lower Body, a title that looks to rectify a key problem in one’s workout. It is tremendously common to slack on legs days, or to do exercises that do not provide much benefit. The nearly 200 pages of Stronger Legs…
Add alligator trapper to the ever growing list of “Jobs We Never Knew Existed Before Realty TV”. The second season of the History Channel realty show Swamp People follows the lives of several Cajun families who hunt gators in the Louisiana swamps, and pretty much prove just how wussy the rest of us are. One scene in particular where a son has his mom remove bullet shrapnel from under his…
A product’s packaging is one of the least important things about it; while there can be information or a visually-striking box, I believe that what is in the supplement is most important. However, Force Factor has attempted to do something different with their packaging. In their main line, they have established a color-coding system of icons that showcase exactly what it is that their product is supposed to do. We…

There mythos of Dune has been carefully fostered over the 45-plus years since the creation of the original title. The latest effort, Sisterhood of Dune, is able to continue adding to this mythos, all while providing an interesting and compelling plot. What I found the strongest about Sisterhood of Dune is how it is able to navigate the various twists and turns of the Dune universe and establish something that…
Skin Like Iron and Nails have released “Split” a 7”. Getting together to make this self-released EP. Hailing from San Francisco, the members of Skin Like Iron are Alex Capasso (Guitar & Vocals), Ryan Mattos (Bass), Joseph Raygoza (Drums) and Clark Todd (Guitar). Two tracks provided by Skin Like Iron are, “Disappear”, and “The Parade”. The two songs dish up hardcore mixed with thrash. They play fast and right up…
There is no reason that an individual that is concerned about their overall well-being should not supplement with BCAAs. The amount of benefit that BCAAs provide is substantial – they allow protein to be created in the liver and in muscles, and they stave off the breakdown of lean muscle tissue. More current studies have looked into the role that BCAAs play in increasing insulin resistance and overall energy levels.…
Riotgod was formed in 2007 by Bob Pantella and Jim Baglino. Both having previously been with Monster Magnet. There somphomore CD “Invisible Empire” has been released via Metalville Records and is the follow up release to the their self titled album “Riotgod”. Invisible Empire is solid from beginning to end, with a heavy and mature rock sound. The band definitely has something unique going for it, some would put them…
While most of the outward design of workout supplements is intended to bring buyers in through flashy text and graphics, the designers at Pharmafreak want to show the quality of their product. This is done by essentially putting a book’s worth of material on each box. While one will likely read product reviews such as this one to determine whether they wish to take this product, I really feel as…
Computer cases are not seen as important as they should be. In a previous computer build, we had to spend a day’s worth of time testing out each component part, just to ultimately figure out that the case was poorly designed and was killing the signal to the motherboard. We received the Mana136 case for review. It can currently be purchased for $70 at Newegg. This case allows for up…
myScratch is priced as an introductory DJ scratch controller, but the sheer amount of functionality that it provides will ensure that it remains in a studio or trucked along to gigs for years to come. The sensitivity of the platters is variable (controlled by a knob on the back of the controller), while the cuing, looping, and sampling ensures that one can make some sick mixes. Whether individuals wish to…
