Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill (Blue) Review

Perfect for tailgating

My friends and I planned a long weekend away from work and the family. We decided to go see a football game. It was 4 men in total, including myself. We left in my buddies truck, but first we stopped at the store.

We picked up stuff for tailgating, you know beer, hot dogs, all of the things that we as men would need for our pre-game tailgating. I was little confused though because we didn’t have a grill.

When we arrived at the stadium, we started unpacking all of our stuff. The grocery bags in the bed of the truck, the chairs, and then my friend pulled out of his backseat this odd looking gadget.

The gadget was in a bag that he wheeled out.

Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill

The gadget was the grill

I stood back, and just looked at it. He started laughing and said you know every time someone see’s my Coleman Road Trip Grill for the first time they have that same reaction.

I wanted to know all about it, where he got it, how much it was, i was stunned at how cool it was.

He told me had found it on amazon.com for only $217.97, he said the price was worth it because it was hands down the best grill he’s owned in his life.

I made a note that i was going to check amazon.com for the Coleman Road Trip Grill, and the Coleman Road Trip Grill Wheeled Carry Case.

He continued to tell me that the Coleman Road Trip Grill came with a pair of fully adjustable 20,000 BTU burners with porcelain-coated cast iron-gates.

The other thing that amazed me about the Coleman Grill besides it being fully collapsible was how the cooking surfaces on the grill could be mixed and matched. You could put a on the Coleman a griddle, grill or stove.

The actual Grill collapses in seconds when you’re done with it, it’s pretty amazing. This allows for fast and easy packing.

I’d never encountered anything like this before.

The Coleman Road Trip Grill runs on disposable 16.4 ounce propane cylinder and comes with a 5 year limited warranty.

I honestly no longer cared about the football game we traveled to see. All i could think about was the Coleman Road Trip Grill and how i had to get one when i got him.

I actually did order mine with the bag for storage, and i can’t wait for it to arrive at my doorstep.

Be amazed and order yours at amazon.com now.

Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black) Review

How i found out the truth

In today’s world, at least the world i live in everyone thinks they’re a photographer. They buy a really expensive camera and they think that automatically provides them with talent in this area. When approached with the question what do you they almost always respond with “I take pictures”. To which the other party says “Oh, you’re a photographer”.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not judging them, i just think that they need to focus on other career choices and do the photography thing as a hobby. An expensive camera doesn’t automatically make you eligible to shoot at rolling stone.

Well if you can’t beat them join them.

I wanted to get into their heads, and see what it was that made them so enticed by carrying their Nikon, or Cannon SLR’s around everywhere they go. Taking snapshots of pretty much anything in their surroundings.

Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera

I decided to spend the extra money and purchase an SLR of myself, i found the Cannon Digital Rebel XSI 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera on amazon.com. I had heard of people spending like $3,000.00 on a camera, and my goal was to stay under $1000.00.

I accomplished the goal.

I purchased my Canon Digital Rebel for the low price of $648.47

I was a little weary of this camera at first because of the price, but it was a 5 out of 5 star item with amazing reviews.

I decided to give it a shot, no pun intended.

The Canon Digital Rebel was a 12.2 Mega Pixel camera which had the ability with a CMOS sensor to capture enough detail for poster-size, photo-quality prints.

The Canon Digital Rebel had a large clear colored 3 inch LCD display for being able to see the pictures i would capture in picture perfect clarity.

Astounding!

The Canon Digital Rebel SLR Camera features a DIGIC III processor which provides fast, accurate image processing. The camera also has improved auto focus and frame rates.

While using my Canon Digital Rebel, i could feel what all the other so-called photographers in the world were feeling. I felt free, and my pictures were coming out amazing. I bring it everywhere i go.

Hypocrite or not, i am satisfied and i understand what compels people to take pictures.

I didn’t have to spend $3000.00, and the quality of my pictures are better then some of those more expensive cameras.

Believe me amateur or professional you will not be unhappy with this camera. The money you invest into it is so worth it.

In my opinion it’s the best SLR on the market.

Ask me what i do.

I take pictures.

First of all the LCD screen on the laptop is only 13.3 inches, which allows it to be transported easily, and fit into some of the smaller laptop bags. Excellent, for less bulk because it only weighs 7 lbs.

Size doesn’t matter

The machine is still built very tough, and it has almost anything anyone would ever need in a computer.

The HP Pavilion Laptop has a very powerful and fast 2.1 Ghz AMD turion X2 RM-72 Dual processor which will allow for faster application swapping, and boot ups. This processor is also perfect for any of the latest games out now. Some desktops don’t have power like this.

Gigantic Filing cabinet

The HP Pavilion has one of the largest hard drives in it that I’ve seen in any modern laptop. Its hard drive is a massive 320 gigabytes; you can store more songs, and photos then you ever imagined or probably own. I assure you unless, you’re running the internet off this machine this hard drive is going to be more then fine for what you do.

The most impressive feature in the HP Pavilion 13.3 Inch Laptop is definitely without a question is the amount of ram this beast is equipped with.

A whopping and astounding 4 GB.

The graphics card in the HP Pavilion is top of the line. It has an ATI-Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, that’s equivalent to just about 2 GB of memory. You can play any new game on the market at full resolution, while running all of your programs.

In modern laptops this is so unheard of.

Garmin nüvi 360 3.5-Inch Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator Review

Put mapquest out of business

Recently I’ve put a new gadget that i wish to purchase on my wish list. I’m looking into getting something very cool, to make driving around easier. The gadget that I’m looking to purchase is the Garmin Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator. It’s the highest rated GPS on amazon.com right now. It’s also one of the more affordable ones.

This is why i decided to review it, so other people that might be looking to make this future purchase can see why it’s number one right now.

Garmin nüvi 360 Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator

First and foremost it looks really cool. The colors on the 3.5 inch screen are bright and eye-popping. The faceplate is a shiny, sleek silver color. It will make your car look more classy, and your passengers will be mesmerized by it.

The Garmin 360 GPS Navigator is your own personal travel assistant/agent. It acts as a translator, multi-media entertainer, and tour guide all wrapped in one luxurious package. In addition to this excellent description is the advanced feature; including automatic routing, turn-by-turn voice directions, MP3 player, and JPEG viewer to name a few.

My personal favorite attribute of the Garmin nüvi 360 Portable GPS Navigator is its Bluetooth feature. You connect your cellphone to your navigator by Bluetooth. You can make hands free phone calls with this travel assistant by using its microphone and speaker. Just touch the screen when calls are coming in, and speak into the microphone.

The number one thing you look for when purchasing a navigation assistant, is how well it can navigate. This is where Garmin really separates its self from other navigation companies. For starters, the Garmin nüvi Portable GPS Navigator includes a high-sensitivity integrated GPS receiver that offers exceptional performance and reception.

Preloaded software features maps of Europe and North America, and it includes automatic routing, 2D or 3D map perspective. It features turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names, and a fingertip touch screen interface.

Making navigation easier then it’s ever been

The Garmin nüvi 360 Bluetooth Portable GPS Naviagator features Garmin lock, which is a highly advanced anti-theft setting that disables any functions until you type in a 4 digit Pin.

I plan on purchasing the Garmin nüvi 360 Bluetooth Portable GPS Naviagator in the next few months. I haven’t been this excited about a product in a very long time.

It’s only $159.83 on amazon.com, but think of it as an investment for your future.

You will save time not having to mapquest for directions anymore.

C76 Men’s Carhartt Waterproof Breathable 3-In-1 Parka Review

By Style | Apr 11, 2009

C76 Men’s Carhartt Waterproof Breathable 3-In-1 Parka Review

The Jack(et) of all Seasons

Carhartt truly is still the king and queen of versatility. What most people fail to realize about Carhartt is how much they care about about producing a product that can be used continuously throughout the year. A product that is universal no matter if it’s really cold or really hot outside.

The reason that other brands don’t worry about 4 season clothing, is because it’s difficult to make something that can be used the entire year. They focus on providing different clothes for every season, instead of 1 garment that can be worn spring, summer, fall, and winter.

C76 Men's Waterproof Breathable 3-In-1 Parka

There is no greater example to this then the new Carhartt men’s waterproof breathable 3-in-1 parka. This top of the line product is comparable to a transformer in the way it snaps and zips apart so easily into a brand new garment. The item in its entirety is made for extreme cold weather conditions but don’t let its outer appearance fool you. The entire garment can be transformed into a quilted supplex vest with or without a hood or a non-quilted supplex vest for warmer environments also with or without a hood.

Although this item already sounds to good to be true, there’s more. Included in this garment is a media pocket for easy access and protection to any form of media you wish to utilize while sporting this jacket. Comfortable, Sleek, and stylish doesn’t even begin to describe this 3-in-1 parka, the two words that came to my mind right away were “Four Seasons”, completely comparable to the luxury Hotel we all recognize.

This Jacket does not disappoint.

My favorite part of this jacket is that it’s both waterproof and breathable. The waterproof feature is great for those dreary, rainy days in may, and those icey cold Decembers where the snow is falling really hard and sticking to you.

The Men’s Carhartt Waterproof Breathable 3-In-1 Park comes in only 2 colors:

  • Black
  • Bluestone

This Jacket is perfect for any conditions, working, or casual wear it will flow perfect with anything you wear. It has a thermal lining so in the cold winter days you will stay very warm. The thermal lining zips out of the jacket, so you can wear it during the warmer seasons.

The Men’s Carhartt Waterproof Breathable Parka is $219.99 on newyorkworkwear.com which sounds like a lot at first, but if you think about it this is a product that you will more then likely be using everyday no matter what the weathers like.

This Jacket can be your personal Four Seasons.

Marc Jacobs Women’s Ballerina Flat

Marc Jacobs Women’s Review

High-End Cute Fashion

Marc Jacobs is one of the most famous high class designers in the world right now. He’s worked very hard to gain this reputation and he stands for everything that high fashion is. All of his designs are based off a love for fashion and a commitment to quality.

Marc Jacobs is certainly a brand that no body would mind having in their closet. I know i certainly wouldn’t, because i know that the quality you get is undeniably great. Not to mention it’s just cool to say you own Marc Jacobs.

Marc Jacobs Women's Ballerina Flat

The Newest addition to Marc Jacobs line is one of the most stylish items I’ve seen yet. He calls the character on the front toe of each shoe “Miss Marc”. The character is a cartoon designed by Marc Jacobs. It’s a perfect asset to an already incredible pair of shoes.

The Marc Jacobs Ballerina Flat has bold stripes constructed of patent leather, which compliment this flat very well. You can choose between the colors pink multi or white print. They both look good especially with the Miss Marc design on the toe.

The sole of this shoe is made of 100% rubber, and the heel on it is only 1/4 of an inch. You can commute from place to place in style while wearing these shoes.

The Marc Jacobs Women’s Ballerina Flat will compliment any kind of attire properly. You can wear these flats with a dress, skirt, or simple pair of jeans. They will accent any outfit, to a degree you didn’t think was possible. As you walk down the street, people are going to notice your shoes and compliment you on how well together you look.

It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing something nice and elegant, or sweatpants as long as you have the Marc Jacobs Women’s Ballerina Flat’s on it’s not going to matter.

A few things to note about the Marc Jacobs Women’s Ballerina Flat’s are that they fit true to size. If you wear a size 6 order a size 6. The width of these shoes is also accurate, they will not stretch out after time. They have minimal arch support, so you won’t be any taller than you already are.

That’s what heels are for.

Marc Jacob is an expensive brand, because it’s considered high end fashion. So these aren’t cheap.

They are $249.99 on Endless.com right now, you also get free shipping on this item.

Believe me though, because of the amount of attention these will bring you.

It’s a small price to pay.

B17 Men’s Carhartt Relaxed Fit Jean Review

B17 Men’s Carhartt Relaxed Fit Jean Review

The everyday man

Every man needs a pair of jeans that he can wear everyday if he has to. The one pair of jeans that he can rely on no matter what. These specific jeans hardly get washed, because they’re worn so much. Due to them never being washed they can look dirty. The trick to this is buying a pair of jeans that already look old, worn and classic.

There are a lot of companies that make a rugged looking pair of jeans, with a classic look. There are only a few companies that do it the right way though. One of the companies that know how to make a pair of Jeans, are Carhartt. They know how to make a comfortable, stylish, and durable product.

b17</div>

That can be worn 24/7.

The best definition of this philosophy that I’ve found is the Men’s Relaxed Fit Jeans. These classic, and rugged jeans could be worn everyday, with no hindrance to the appearance. They will always have that beautiful new denim look. You could easily wear these jeans with a pair of dress shoes, or a pair of work boots.

They really are that universal.

What’s great about these Jeans, is you won’t be forced to go out and shop all the time for a new pair of jeans. There will be none of that overly complicated fitting room experience, and sizing attempts. Once you find your fit in the Men’s Relaxed Fit Jean, you will never want to take them off.

The Men’s Carhartt Relaxed Fit Jean’s are made of 15-Ounce heavyweight 100% cotton. This makes them heavier, but more durable. I mean the most important part of a pair of jeans that you’re going to wear every single day is that they won’t tear easily, and look ragged.

The Relaxed Fit Jean’s sit at the natural waist, and feature a relaxed-fitting seat and thigh. This is important for sitting all day long in your most comfortable jeans. Both of the back pockets are reinforced for extra durability and strength. Very important because a hole in your back pocket can be a very bad wallet container.

These are the most relaxing, casual, durable jeans on the market right now. Carhartt excels at producing a product that can be used for more then 1 day. They know that its hard to wash clothes every single night.

Feel confident and comfortable all day, scratch that all year long for only $26.99.

I found them for that price on newyorkworkwear.com

Get the only pair of jeans you’re ever going to need again.
