Customer Review: Homeworld 2
Very good game at a very good price. Despite its age, Homeworld 2 still holds up graphically. While complex, the tutorial missions do a good job of keeping the learning curve reasonable. You should be able to understand most of the game’s features in only a few hours, which is quite good given the complexity of the game. There also are not many recent space strategy games as detailed as Homeworld 2.
Customer Review: Great sequel
Excellent upgrade for the best graphic game ever created. Homeworld has outstanding game play and Homeworld 2 made that even better with the added scrolling camera views. Gives you the real feeling of the vastness of space and the effects of not being limited to the basic 2D battlefields. Hope the developers expand and make it a triology. Greatly written storyline to keep up with the homeworld tradition.

Looking for meals that are delicious, healthy, and easy to make? How does Shiitake Mushroom and Asparagus Frittata with Smoked Salmon sound? Or a Roasted Red Pepper and Kalamata Olive Sicilian Salad?

Customer Review: LIfe Changer
These are excellent recipes. Easy to make and health promoting. I did not need the depth the author went into on setting up a kitchen but it would be helpful for those folks who don’t already know how to do this. The recipes are used frequently in our household and enjoyed by all.
Customer Review: Nice recipes but way too much padding
Pros: Nice recipes, with extensive nutritional information for each recipe. If you are looking, for example, to increase your potassium intake, you’ll find that information, along with many other micronutirents, listed for each recipe. Cons: The recipes only occupy the second half of the book. They are organized by season, so if you want to look at breakfast dishes, for example, you need to flip backwards and forwards through the book as they are located in multiple places. The first half of the book assumes you are a complete idiot from Mars, and is taken up with pages and pages of detailed descriptions of every conceivable kitchen tool and how to use it. If you have never used a corkscrew, purchased a cooking pot, or handled a pancake turner, this is the book for you. The authors proceed in the same fashion with their list of required “pantry” items. The list goes on for a seeming eternity, describing everything you never thought you would have to be told about salt, pepper, flour, rice, and other pantry staples. Another gripe is about the recipes themselves. After extensive intros extolling the goal of simplifying meal preparation by use of simple methods and few ingredients, I find many of the recipes have too many ingredients and doubtful prep times. For example, a recipe with a prep time of 10 minutes may list ten different ingredients, many of which require washing, chopping, peeling, mixing, as well as grilling and other stove-top work. Not to mention the shopping, since you may not happen to have the 6 kalamata olives and 1 tablespoon of fresh basil in your pantry. About one third of the book is taken up with pages and pages of dubious questionaires about your lifestyle choices and their supposed effect on your “real age.” All of these questionaires are listed not once, but TWICE, effectively increasing the annoyance factor by tenfold, as well as doubling the weight of the book. The basic premise of following a Mediterranean type diet seems to be upheld by dietary studies. But the “real age” concept (eg. eat 12 tablespoons of some ingredient 4 times per month will reduce your “real age” by say, 5 years) seems mainly an attention-getting device. Every recipe in the book is accompanied by a “real age” effect - eat this recipe 6 times per year and reduce your “real age” by, say, 2.7 years. The book would be more effective by slimming down by about two thirds, simply extolling the virtues of a Mediterranean diet, cutting out all the questionaires, kitchen and pantry sections, and simply focusing on the recipes.

Customer Review: perfect clock for podium or music stand
If you want to keep track of time while delivering a presentation or performance from behind a podium or a music stand this is the perfect clock for you. How I know they are great is that they keep dissapearing! People love them. You won’t find a more ideal clock to place in front of you as you go through a session.
Customer Review: NOT as described
1. They say it’s 5″ wide. Wrong. It’s 2 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ 2. They say it’s lighted. Wrong. It’s not. 3. Big numbers are easy to read but the clock is not lit and it is extremely difficult to set the time on it.
La Crosse Technology WT-3102S 10 Inch Atomic Analog Clock 
Keep track of time with the utmost precision with this attractive atomic analog wall clock from La Crosse Technology. The stylish clock receives radio signals at a 60kHz frequency up to 2000 miles away from its source, the United States Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. By radio communication with its built-in antenna, the clock regularly updates the hour, minute, and second of the day for continued accuracy. Additionally, the clock adjusts automatically for daylight savings time in the spring and fall.
An attractive chrome-colored plastic frame encompasses the clock face. Underneath the flat lens, contemporary numerals adorn the face for easy reading. Four buttons allow users to choose the appropriate United States time zone. For those who prefer their clocks to run five minutes fast or to match another clock, the clock offers a manual set option. For the best results, place the clock away from computers, electronic equipment or other articles that receive a signal. The clock may be slow to receive signals upon initial set-up, but should communicate unhindered after one day. This clock requires the separate purchase of one AA battery for a year’s worth of power. With a 7-1/4-inch diameter face, the full body of the clock measures 10 inches in diameter with a 1-2/3-inch depth. The clock weighs 1-1/3 pounds upon shipping. –Jessica Reuling

Customer Review: RELIABLE CLOCK
I bought this product about 2+ years ago. This clock has been working GREAT! It has the good feature of setting its self to the real time. The clock has been working fine up until this year(early 2008) for the time change. It really was no big deal as others have put it as (drama queens). There is a button at the back of the clock so you can MANUALLY set the time. Nice looking too!
Customer Review: Terrible customer service - won’t fix clocks under warranty
I purchased 4 of these clocks in February 2008. 2 of those work as advertised, and 2 of them stopped working after 12 days. The minute hand just keeps winding rapidly, about twice a minute, instead of showing time. I called La Crosse support, and the lady who answered had me press the manual setting button 20 times and asked me to remove the battery, wait for 20 minutes, put the battery back on and leave the clock near a window. She said they will not replace the clocks under warranty, and that I had to ship the clocks back to them for testing and confirmation that it was not user error! The clock set itself to the right time overnight after that, and the second hand stopped moving later that day. I called customer service again, and they are yet to return my call 4 days after I left them a voice mail. Do not buy this POS product until you call LaCrosse first to see if you can get through to their product support.
