A few weeks ago, I was sent a set of three UGLee pens. UGLee pens were created by a doctor to have the best, most comfortable grip available on a ergonomic pen. They also have the smoothest ink system, and the pen is extremely light. I had figured on this pen being more of a gimmick than anything else, but I was surprised at how comfortable it was to use. I have been having ongoing problems in my right hand for some months now, which has made holding anything small either very painful and nearly impossible. We have several different pens floating around the house, each with various grips on them. All of them have been increasingly uncomfortable for me to write with. As I mentioned above, I figured the UGLee pen would be the same and almost dreaded trying it out. I was very surprised at how nice it was. The grip is perfect size to rest between my fingers without me having to really hold onto it. It's very light and you don't have to press down too much to get the ink to come out. ...
Book Review – Best Left Burried
Best Left Buried is an e-book by first time author Cindy Hutchins. It's a mystery/horror story that takes place in North Carolina. Arliss can't remember much about her life before she was taken from her mother and adopted. After being notified of her mothers death some twenty years later, she finds herself thrust into a strange mystery. She's the focus of a local legend, birds are following her everywhere, and a crazy preacher is after her. Will she find answers to what is going on, or will she find that the past is best left buried?The story description really caught my interest, and I was really looking forward to reading the book. However, I was really let down. The plot is there and the general idea of the story is great, but the writing just kills it. The story is peppered with punctuation errors, run-on sentences, and fragmented sentences. It caused the flow of the reading to be interrupted and yank me completely out of the story. Also, there were no chapters aside from ...

PETA’s New Target: Tanooki Mario
Is this really necessary PETA?The people at PETA are at it again. This time, they are trying to take on Super Mario 3D Land. Their beef? Tanooki Mario is offensive and promotes the wearing of fur. Here's the statement posted on their website: "When on a mission to rescue the princess, Mario has been known to use whatever means necessary to defeat his enemy -- even wearing the skin of a raccoon dog to give him special powers.Tanooki may be just a suit in the game, but in real life tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing a Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it is OK to wear fur."This statement is followed by an image of a blood splattered Mario (seen above) holding the severed head of a tanuki, and a very graphic video of the killing and skinning of a real one. PETA has also gone as far as to create a game where a skinless tanuki chases Mario around in an attempt to get it's skin back. The game is called Super Tanooki Skin 2D.Um....please ...
