A good read to bring new awareness to old issues. Will use this book as a guideline to healthier living.

Quite aside from the annoying DRM issue, I've heard from 2 friends who now have played it that it has been massively dumbed down, which is deeply ironic to me, because CLEARLY the people who have been waiting with huge anticipation to buy this game are not people who want to play a typical, obvious or simple game. The fascination with this game has been 100% about the deep, implied complexity of tinkering with creatures within the context of evolution, of the way species change and compete, of building things in one phase that seriously effect those in another. I have heard that NONE of these promises (in articles, interviews and countless previews of the game) have been carried through with anything but a superficial and almost insulting manner (in that these promises were essentially about a game they decided not publish, for fear of scaring away the supposedly revenue-driving middlebrow public). Here's one example: in the final version of the game, you can change a creature in every phase... without consequence, based on whim, doesn't matter what happened before. What a tragedy!! Clearly Maxis lost their nerve, or the executive team of EA -- with its almost genius capacity to destroy or lobotomize anything with true originality -- squashed the game down to the 3rd grade level.

It is very comfortable. Its big, the running area is large and seems cushioned. The incline is amazing. Control of the speed is amazing. Its not just 3 or 4 mph you can choose perfect speed 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 etc just great control. I love it. Also has bars that if you want pulse and heart rate you hold it a few seconds and its displayed. The screens are great and music or a trainers voice. Has everything. And reasonably priced. Not hard to assemble, me and a friend did it in 2 hours. And neither one of us is very mechanical.

This product is wonderful!!! I used it like everyone else and sat under the dryer until it was hard. Then rinsed it out and immediately felt the difference in my hair. Soft, shiny, silky, and much much stronger.

Because it's easy to read without a lot of computer jargon. It takes a person through the steps in an orderly process.

I haven't had this for very long, but I will update this review as I have more thoughts on it. It pretty much works as described and I haven't had any issues with the functionality of it. I do have a significant concern though, this thing is loud as hell. It's not a whiny or squeaky noise like some have mentioned, it's more of a low buzzing/vibration. It's not terrible at a walk pace but once you start jogging it's easily enough to drown out the TV or any music I might have playing in the room. I'd say somewhere I'd say close to a vacuum cleaner as far as loudness goes. And it only gets louder the faster it goes, I haven't run with it on the highest setting yet but I can only assume it gets louder.

Arrived in GREAT condition,the battery I purchased for the the box(27 series) fits perfectly,haven't got to put it to use as of yet on the Hobie yak but if it preforms in use as well as it looks out of the box I will be more than satisfied.Will leave another review once I had a chance to put to work.Happy Charging:)
