lizsurveys says "AWESOME- play music you like, and find new artists!" about Pandora Radio

lizsurveys — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:20:13 GMT

Pandora is the single greatest invention in online music ever invented. You create your own radio station my inputing some artists or songs you like, then it plays them along with some other music in that same type. That way, you can find new bands that you never knew of that you will probably like. If something comes up that you don't like, you can tell it that you don't like it. everyone wins. You can create individual stations, or mix and match ones you like.

lizsurveys says "Besides food an entertainment, this was great" about Norwegian Cruise Line - Pride of Aloha

lizsurveys — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:29:39 GMT

I recently went on this ship for a family vacation, and I loved it. The food was only so so, as was the entertainment. I liked the freestyle part of it, that there wasn't a schedule and I could do whatever I wanted. There always seemed to be something to do, but the activities themselves were not top notch. I did enjoy the cultural ambassador that showed us how to make leis, hula, etc.

I highly reccomend getting a room with a private balcony, and booking shore excursions with someone OTHER than the cruiseline. The cost of the shore excursions is cut in half doing this and you go on the exact same tour/activity.

The service on board was absolutely wonderful.

lizsurveys says "Best resource for getting precise words" about Word Reference.com

lizsurveys — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:22:14 GMT

If you are a student, professional translator, or just want to know how to say something corectly in another language to your friends, I highly reccomend this site. It is better than a traditional dictionary because it has many many more entries and more detail. It is also faster than looking up words by hand. The forums allow for you to be certain you are using just the right word for what you wish to express. And hey, free is ALWAYS good....

lizsurveys says "Fresh and Independant, Cachai?" about Somos Los Que Estamos by Los Mono

lizsurveys — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 04:55:49 GMT

I have listened to most of the songs via free sites on the internet and plan to buy the album soon. Perhaps I am partial to Chile because I went there on a study abroad and fell in love with the country, but I really believe this group has a sound uniquely their own. I reccomend the tracks "se puede" and "promesas", catchy, and if you are learning spanish, great for getting your speed up!...

lizsurveys says "Great for small on-the-go file storage and music" about Apple - Shuffle MP3 Player

lizsurveys — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 20:50:35 GMT

I had a regular sized ipod and found it rather clunky. The shuffle is perfect. It has enough space for a few files for school or work and enough space for music for a couple of days to a couple of weeks.

If you think about it, are you really going to listen to 100+ songs in a day and get tired of them? It doesn't store a whole bunch of songs, but you really don't need em. You can always load different songs, which usually takes less than 5 minutes when you feel like a change. The ipod is small and convenient, perfect for the gym or just out and about. The only con I would mention is that you have no way to tell which song is coming, so you have to flip though a bunch to find the one you want. But then again, they don't call it the "shuffle" for nothing.

lizsurveys says "Once you get it to work, it's great." about Hewlett Packard HP Pavillion DV6000 Laptop

lizsurveys — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 20:40:37 GMT

When I purchased this laptop, I brought it home, and there was no operating system installed. HP could not do anything about it, and luckily the store let me exchange it for another one. The second one had a bad CD/DVD drive, and after talking with their customer service agents, they sent me a whole new drive for free. They have excellent support, but I would have liked the machines to work correctly the first time. Other than that, the laptop is great, although I am not a fan of windows vista. The webcam is great and everything (including voice recognition) is easy to use.

lizsurveys says "Just like before, but in a lighter shade and a lighter box" about Cover Girl TruBlend Make-Up

lizsurveys — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 20:28:05 GMT

Remember the powder in the Blue containers? Well, I loved those and when I couldn't find them anymore I tried this new line. It took me 3 tries to get the shade right. (I was the lightest shade before, now I am the 3rd lightest) Overall, it does a good job, but if you have dry skin I would not reccomend it....
