  • Kard - Street Atlas (becoming extinct)

    Been using Street Atlas for over 10 years thus I purchased it again because of my familiarity. Howevebut not any more.r, I now use co-pilot app on Ipad for in car navigation when I want a large screen and ability to plan without losing my eyesight on the Iphone. Street Atlas used to be my go-to program to shoot the satellites while driving, but not any more.

  • Alex - Versace Blue Jeans

    One of my favorite colognes that are in my "Top 5". The Versace Blue Jeans is one of the best colognes out there in my opinion, I have used it for over 11 years ever since I was 12 years old. Yes, the knock-offs of Versace Blue Jeans do exist and I was burned once on them and learned my lesson. I was once in the Perfume District in NYC and just walked into a random shop and bought the Blue Jeans for $, I thought that this was a great deal, but once I got home I immediately noticed that something was not right. The canister-box and the actual bottle of the knock-off looks exactly like the real thing, the only way to distinguish a fake from a real thing is to have both bottles side-by-side, but the scent of the knock-off gives it away instantly. Basically the fake canister-box will have inferior graphics, if you will look closely at it then you will see that the "box art" will have coarser raster (offset print) dots than the real canister-box, the colors will also be slightly different. The fake bottle will have opaque black bottle cap, the real thing is actually dark blue translucent cap, so if you will look at it under the light then you can see thru it. Another thing that give the fake away is the "Versace Blue Jeans Man" graphic on the bottle, the fake bottle will have bright yellow text, the real bottle has the pale yellow-greenish text. And the last thing that gives away the fake fragrance is the spray cap: the real spraycap is shiny outside and inside there is translucent-matte plastic, the 2mm circle in which the sprayhole is located at is flat-gray and there are numbers and letters molded into it in a "+" formation ( my says 10, 81, 6 and A), I guess that these letters/numbers can be different from one production batch to another. The fake spraycap will be shiny outside (with cheap chrome paint feel to it), the inside will be white and the 2mm circle will be white. So don't let the fake stuff fool you, because the real juice worth it's MSRP price, but there are genuine deals out there.

  • JVergara - So much space! For activities!

    Perfectly sized for two large zoom lenses, a prime, DSLR body+grip, and an external flash. This fits best in a bag slightly larger than it's dimensions. The corresponding Timbuk2 size makes for a tight fit and has a bulky appearance. I placed mine in an old Seagull Bags large messenger. The insert includes two tall dividers and two short dividers. Versatile solution for carrying camera gear in discreet bags.

  • tonibell - A Good, Fun Cozy Mystery

    Enjoyed this book. Some good characters. The small town is much truer to life than most copies offer. Clues were there but extrapolation is needed. Fun Read.

  • CUDEN - great documented work on credit

    This is a great documented work on credit which I read through in only 1 day. I learned a great deal as the author makes the content very easy to read and to understand. I followed the advice given from this book to start building credit so I can buy a house down the line. My credit score is now much higher than it was before and I was asked if I wanted to up my credit score without me even asking for it. Great read!
