Editorial Review

Perfect for preparing coffee at home before dashing out the door, this coffeemaker brews through the lids directly into either one or both of the 14-ounce travel mugs accompanying the machine. The stainless-steel mugs have rubber, nonslip grips, fit most vehicle cup holders, and are 6-3/4 inches high, with 2-5/8-inch-diameter rubber bottoms. Lids keep coffee hot in the mugs and are deeply indented and sloped toward the drink hole to contain spills. Both mugs and their lids are dishwasher-safe. The coffeemaker uses disposable paper filters (two included), automatically shuts off after the brewing process, and can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, the coffeemaker measures 13 inches high, 5-1/4 inches wide, and 8-1/2 inches deep, and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack ... Read more

I just love this coffeemaker
I've had my Cuisinart Two-to-Go for about six months.This is the best coffeemaker: quick, easy, and good tasting coffee... even before considering the great price!

The only negative is (duh) you can't warm your coffee in the microwave if you don't get it finished fast enough.I've taken to requesting 16oz cups and lids from my local (better than Starbucks) coffee store when I buy beans.They generally sell them to me very cheap.This compliments the machine's time-efficient qualities perfectly.

Again, just about the best thing invented in the world of coffeemakers for "always on the go" types.

Good only for about 9 months!
Reecived this as a Christmas present last year, but it took two months of moving before I could actually use it. Once I did, the travel mugs lasted about a week before the bottoms came off and they had to be thrown away due to rough bottom edges. No big deal I thought, I will just use other travel mugs. That lasted for about six months. The coffee it brews is HORRIBLE tasting! I have ran the "residue cleaners" through it, like all my past coffeemakers, and it just won't come back to its days of making a decent cup of coffee. Too bad I had a convenient coffeemaker for about 9 months!

Coffee maker for lazy people!
I have this coffee maker in my apartment.I share it with my roommate (who is smart yet does really dumb things sometimes).If someone could mess something incredibly easy up, it would be my roommate.He has yet to mess up brewing coffee with this machine.There is one button so there is not much to mess up.

Not only does he have a habit of messing things up he also is lazy.This coffee machine is so easy to clean up that he actually takes the two seconds to clean it up after using it!The proper filters to use with this machine are cone shaped and size #2.I use coffee filters by Melitta (B0006NIRO2) that help making clean up of this machine a breeze.

Also note that there is not anything to adjust if you are going to brew one or two cups.To brew one cup instead of two all you would do is place the cup in the center of the drip.There are two drips and they usually would drip into separate cups, so if there is only one cup in the center both drips would go into the single cup.

Since there is not heat pad underneath the coffee cups while they sit in this machine the coffee will get cold if left there after brewing for a while.So you are going to want to brew your coffee right before your planning the drink it.On the upside the cups that come with this machine are pretty good at keeping the coffee hot.I am able to brew coffee and make it through the cold of a north east USA winter to where I work and still have my coffee hot when I get there. ...

Beware the L'EQUIP 221
I purchased this model in March 04. It vibrated badly upon arrival, and it took months to get a replacement. Then the replacement juicer vibrated badly, so I contacted the manufacturer, L'EQUIP. L'EQUIP forces you to pay to ship the juicer back to them to fix their problems, and you have to send a check for $10.00 to cover their "service fee". I recently recieved the juicer back unfixed, and vibrating badly. The company is still stalling, unwilling to correct this situation. Their warranty, and service are worthless.

less foam more filling
I have owned all the juicers this is the one to own and think it is imperative for people to understand this juicer was truly designed for the hardcore juicer because if you have a very fast juicer it can deplete the nutrients you are tryng to achieve with your commitment to live foods you waste money on foamy juice the 221 sacrificed some efficency in order to give you the ideal glass of live food. so if your life is based on convience
you might as well get your really efficient high speed bottle of snapple

Extremely disaapointed in this product.
Avoid the troubles associated with this unit and the extremely poor customer service from L Equip USA. This juicer will break in less than a year and you will have to ship it yourself at your expense to the manufacturer for evaluation and possible repairs. If you need a reliable juicer for your daily diet, avoid this toy. ... Read more

Garmin eTrex Legend 8 MB GPS with PC Cable

Editorial Review

There are now enough handheld global positioning system (GPS) receivers on the market that you can be choosy when it comes to price, features, and design. Garmin--a leading manufacturer of car, boat, and personal GPS receivers--has a complete line of eTrex handheld receivers, with our Legend falling about midrange.

Easily look up nearby services with optional downloadable details from MapSource CD-ROMs.

With Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) support, the Legend offers extremely accurate readings (rated to within 2 to 3 meters). (For more on WAAS, see the Frequently Asked Questions section.) A good-size screen--288 x 160 pixels--makes it easy to see location details, and the Legend redraws maps quickly when zooming in or out of a position.

Its 8 MB of memory means there is also plenty of room for waypoints, routes, and saved tracks. The Legend will hold up to 500 waypoints, complete with a name and graphical symbol, 20 routes with 50 waypoints each, and it contains slots for 10 saved tracks. You can also download maps from Garmin's MapSource CD-ROMs (thorough but expensive accessories for the GPS receiver) to see street-level or topographic detail (depending on the CD-ROM title).

Built-in exit listings show services at U.S. interstate exits.

But one of the most striking attributes of the Legend is its comfortable and efficient design. While it rests easily in the palm of either hand, it's most suited for the left hand, where its handy click-stick can be manipulated with the thumb. The click-stick works like the pencil-eraser nubbin on laptop PCs and is handy for moving through screen icons and menus. It also works as a button when pressed down.

The Legend is coated with a waterproof, rubberized plastic shell that grips nicely. Weighing in at only 5.3 ounces, it fits into a pocket or clips onto a belt loop, going almost unnoticed.

The internal trip computer of the Legend provided a range of data about our hikes and drives, including current speed, average speed, trip distance, and time traveled (both moving and stopped). For those interested in checking out their foot pace and distance traveled, it's a handy GPS to have in hand.

Our only major beef with the Legend is that the receiver sometimes seemed to grow weak. Even when it wasn't in WAAS mode (which can be tough to maintain a signal in), it dropped the signal from time to time. We even lost the signal once while walking along the streets of San Francisco--it seems that the medium-size buildings were enough to interfere with the reception.

But this only happened on a few occasions. Most of the time the well-designed Legend was able to keep us in touch with up to 12 GPS satellites for a strong-enough read to maintain a tight handle on our location. --J. Curtis

• Comfortable, compact design
• Click-stick for interface navigation
• Bright backlight
• Handy distance-traveled feature

  Working together
  I've been GEO cacheing for 6 mths now. My wife has a Magellan Meridian Platinum and the combination of the two systems puts us right on top of our finds.I like both systems but the Legend brings you in closer. The Magellan has optional memory espansion. As for which is really the best, its not in the name, it is what you are willing to pay and what bells and whistles you want. The low ends of both manufactures you will be dissatisfied if you stay with it.

  Reliability Problems with the e-Trek Legend
  Bought my e-Trek Legend in March 2002 for geocaching; initially it did ok, tracked well but lost signal often when under leafcover in the woods.Started noticing power shutoff problems when first turning it on;thought it was the battery connection, I'm beginning now to think it was poor/thin soldering in the manufacture.Now the click stick will only work in two of four directions.For what I paid for it, and as little as I used it, I doubt if I'll replace it with another Garmin e-Trek, they just don't seem substantial enough for hiking (to think, I cradled that thing like a baby in the woods, being careful with it!).

  My first one, not easy to figure out without book.
  Well, so far I kind of dig it. Its not easy to manage without learning it first. Its not a "duh obvious" operating system. I am trying to figure out still how to map where I have been but not save the whole thing. I want to save just legs.
  
  It is almost one hand useable, but some of the buttons are hard to press with one hand. It is a nice size and very easy to read. It does not come with any computer software and I am not sure how to get other maps on it yet.
  
  I guess I need to buy additional software. Its been fun playing with it since I bought it yesterday, now I need to learn the nitty gritty. ... Read more

Juiceman's Power of Juicing

Juiceman knows his juice.
This is the ultimate book on juicing.This is exactly what I wanted. Straight up juice recipes! No blender recipes (Well there are two at the end of the book for shakes but its minute after you read all the juice recipes). No add yogurt or soy milk and herbs. Nothing. Only add fruits and vegetables,just what I bought a juicer for juices! Jay delivers. His recipes are precise, being which he tells you how many carrots, how many apples, and tells the reader what the possible prevention tips of the particular juice are. My favorite is the juice for the sinus. And it does help.Also the energy and feeling you get from juicing is amazing. A pot of coffee could not get you going this good.
Now dont get me wrong there are good books on juicing out there but as stated above they want you to add other health ingredients (herbs and spices,soy milk etc...).Thats not the reason I wanted to juice.I wanted the benefits of juice and juice alone not something I can buy as a pill from the GNC and skip all the juicing. Buy this book if all you want are juice recipes. This is what it's all about.Straight up juicing!

A life changing book for me
This book along with Dr. Norman Walker's "Fresh Vegetabels and Fruit Juice" helped me begin my quest and desire to mostly eat and drink raw fruits and vegetables. Ten years ago as a first-year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara I found myself with an acne problem that had plagued me for the last 5 years, despite ingesting numerous antibiotics. Moreover, my eyes were beginning to tire easily. Then one day I stumbled upon this book by Dr. Walker which from the onset made complete sense to me. Around the same time I saw an infomercial advertising the Juiceman Jr. whichI bought the next week(and it hasn't failed me since!), along with the "Power of Juicing" book and began a regimen of fresh juice three times a day, using many of the recipes and suggestions from both books. Some amazing things began to progess over the next year:!
i) my acne not only completely disappeared, but I found myself having a very youthful, vibrant look. I looked better than I had ever in the past.
ii) I lost 15 pounds in one year and became a star on the softball field.
iii) I have not touched my reading glasses in the past 9 years.

In the words of Jack Lalane (who is older and more fit than 99.99% of all other Americans) "If man made it, I don't eat it".

One note on juicers: low-rpm juicers which press the juice now offer a nice alternative to the Juiceman or any other of the centrifugal juicers. They seem easier to clean and produce a higher yield of vitamins and less oxidation. I recommend Samson6 in 1 juicer which has a 5 year warranty on the auger (like a drill bit which is used to press the juice) and a 10 year warranty on the motor.

The revolution does not begin in the streets, but rather with a tall class of carrot and spinach!

A Must Have
I purchased this book to use with my juicer.It's only been 2 weeks, and I have had such a great time with this book.There are recipes for ever kind of aliment you can think of.Even after 2 weeks, I have noticed a difference in my skin, hair, nails and body in general.If you are ready to give juicing a try and learn about what and why you are juicing, this is the book for you. ...

The Joy of Juicing
The benefits of juicing are enormous, by getting the essential vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables in a quick, digestible form. Juicing can provide a "meal in a glass" that can make a great snack or even a substitute for a meal in a calorie restricted diet, and for anyone who has to "eat and run", a tall glass of juice is the ultimate fast food.
Part One is "The Basics", with excellent guidelines, including one page of "Juicing Tips" that I found useful.
Part Two, "The Disorders", is the bulk of the book, and addresses common ailments and diseases, describes the condition, gives general recommendations, dietary modifications, nutrients that help, beneficial juices and suggested recipes.

A wide range of disorders are discussed. Under "C" for instance, there is not only the obvious cancer and cholesterolemia (high cholesterol) listed, but also ailments like carpal tunnel syndrome, which is not usually thought of as being helped through nutrition ("The majority of carpal tunnel sufferers have been found to have low levels of vitamin B6", page 93), and also that bane of 40+ women, cellulite: "The good news is that cellulite can be reversed significantly" (page. 100), and the book tells you how.

Part Three is "The Diet Plans", and has suggestions for everyday meals, with basic healthy eating, "Immune Support Diet", and many different types of cleansing diets and advice.
Cherie "The Juicewoman" Calbom and Maureen Keane have a long list of credentials and "know their onions" in the field of nutrition, and if you believe that what you eat has a direct impact on you physical health and stress level, this is a good book to have in your library. Also recommended is "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" by James and Phyllis Balch.

Food for Thought
We're about to order our second copy - we think we loaned the first one out, but we can't remember to whom.

I think there may actually be a section in this book on juices for improving memory...

In any case, we're on our third juicing machine and this is the best juice "cookbook" we've found so far.

Counterbalancing the taste of raw kale juice is a culinary trick, but these folks do it!

Excellent Juicing for Life, Health and Vitality
What I love about this book is that ailments you wish to cure are listed in category order, which makes it quite easy to find a juicing recipe to help reverse the internal effects.

Additionally, the book gives wonderful general recommendations along with an explanation of that ailment. On top of that, "Dietary Modifications" are provided with practical, easy to understand advice as to what foods and beverages to avoid, along with "Nutrients that Help" combined with "Beneficial Juices". Then, to top it all off there are great "Suggested Juicing Recipes" that will target whatever ails you.

From anti-ageing to chronic fatigue syndrome, to underweight, this book is simple to follow and provides you with the knowledge of exactly what your system needs in order to maintain maximum health.

Highly recommended if you want to improve your health, and bring nutrient-rich vitamins and minerals into your body naturally.

Editorial Review

Since its publication in 1946, George Orwell's fable of a workers' revolution gone wrong has rivaled Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea as the Shortest Serious Novel It's OK to Write a Book Report About. (The latter is three pages longer and less fun to read.) Fueled by Orwell's intense disillusionment with Soviet Communism, Animal Farm is a nearly perfect piece of writing, both an engaging story and an allegory that actually works. When the downtrodden beasts of Manor Farm oust their drunken human master and take over management of the land, all are awash in collectivist zeal. Everyone willingly works overtime, productivity soars, and for one brief, glorious season, every belly is full. The animals' Seven Commandment credo is painted in big white letters on the barn. All animals are equal. No animal shall drink alcohol, wear clothes, sleep in a bed, or kill a fellow four-footed creature. Those that go upon four legs or wings are friends and the two-legged are, by definition, the enemy. Too soon, however, the pigs, who have styled themselves leaders by virtue of their intelligence, succumb to the temptations of privilege and power. "We pigsare brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of the farm dependon us.Day and night, we are watching over your welfare. It is for yoursake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." While this swinish brotherhood sells out the revolution, cynically editing the Seven Commandments to excuse their violence and greed, the common animals are once again left hungry and exhausted, no better off than in the days when humans ran the farm. Satire Animal Farm may be, but it's a stony reader who remains unmoved when the stalwart workhorse, Boxer, having given his all to his comrades, is sold to the glue factory to buy booze for the pigs. Orwell's view of Communism is bleak indeed, but given the history of the Russian people since 1917, his pessimism has an air of prophecy. --Joyce Thompson ... Read more

Orwell's Best Book!
Short as it is, this work represents all that Orwell had been leading to all his life. It's a satire and a fable -- and in very simple terms outlines the dangers of tyranny, the corruption of ideals. Orwell uses the Communist revolution as a template: and points out how, in the end, 'some animals are more equal than others' -- that is, the essential greediness of us all. In darker, more subtle terms, it suggests, too, that we are, in essense, animals ourselves -- we cannot escape our dark primal nature. And we need to always be aware and vigilant of this. It's a chilling, sad, illuminating and very effective masterpiece. Everytime I read it, it affects me more! Honestly, this book will haunt you. Pick up a copy! Another book I need to recommend -- completely unrelated to Orwell, but very much on my mind since I purchased a "used" copy off Amazon is "The Losers' Club: Complete Restored Edition" by Richard Perez, an exceptional, lonesome (but also funny) little novel I can't stop thinking about.

Simple Tale, Complex Theme
Orwell's allegory regarding the Soviet Regime certainly is perfect; and such perfectionism was hard to publish at the time, as this book was initially declined by four publishers-a fact Orwell persistently emphasized: the ignorant justification and biased publications for the Soviet Regime; simply put, the British Press moguls were generally hesitant to carry out anything against the USSR lest it might offend their ally, or, the expediency of the political situation (then). One letter revealing this fact was from T.S Eliot, who as a spokesman for Faber & Faber wrote: 'we have no conviction that this is the right point of view from which to criticize the political situation at the present time.'
But apart from all that he did manage to get it published, and when it did, it was a huge success. The simple tale wraps around a group of animals who rebel and success in driving away their proprietor, Mr. Jones. Hardship and Tyranny ensue, making the animals wonder whether they are any different now than the earlier days when they were under the influence of Mr. Jones. The pigs become power obsessed; one is an eloquent speaker named Squealer, another named Snowball and the main character of the story Napoleon (Stalin). Later Napoleon devices falsified accusations which lead to many executions, apart from driving away his counterpart Snowball (Trotsky) out of pure greed for a centralized, totalitarian system. By way of Squealer (whose rhetoric is known to 'turn black into white') Napoleon manages to con the animals into various false convictions, some of which never did at any time exist.
So and so, Orwell has allegorized the many treacheries behind the USSR via a simple story...simplicity of a complex political topic is the point of success here.

Boring OLD Animal Farm
Animal Farm is one of the worst books that I have ever read! It completely put me and my classmates to sleep. There is no pazzaz to awaken you or catch your attention. Who would want to read a book like that is beyond my belief.
This is one book I wouldn't mind burning. And I am a complete book lover! I don't know if it's just because I'm a teenager or if it's because the book just isn't my type, but it seriously need to be taken off the recomended reading list for high schoolers!

Dirk Benedict, shame on you!
Dirk and Linda. Linda and Dirk.
In a film
that makes
even the staunchest aficionadoes
of terrible movies
blush

but the movie's salvation is the previews at the beginning
which were genuinely badand thusenough
to restore my emotional balance.

My search is over
I seen this movie several years ago on VHS.I have wanted it ever since.My search is now over.What a great action movie without all the blood.A great love story without all the mushy stuff.And a great comedy without all the stupid stuff.This movie is the total package.I can not believe it did not do better than it did!

Love to make a ruckus
This movie was my absolute favorite way back then. Haven't seen it on video until recently. It still kept my attention after all the years. The story is very believable, and who wouldn't fall in love with Linda in this movie. Dirk was great too. A very real character knowing some of my vet friends. Made me wish I was him.
All in all, a great way to spend the evening watching this movie. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Sheathing itself in bad taste, this film flaunts its tackiness, its machismo, and its very stupidity, which of course makes for a lot of dopey fun. Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) returns to his roots, the LA of 1996 (the film was set in the near future, as it was made in 1991). Burbank has become an airport, a new drug called Crystal Dream is all the rage, and Harley's favorite bar is being torn down. To save it, he and the Marlboro Man (Don Johnson, at his most engaging) concoct an armed robbery that goes awry. Instead of cash, they end up with a shipment of Crystal Dream. Hunted by a drug dealer's goons, the two bark, fight, drink, and squint at each other as they try to get themselves out of their mess. This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for the monster-truck crowd, with plenty of breasts, choppers, broken pool cues, and empty bottles. It's impossible to blame this film for being so emphatically trashy; its creators would consider that a compliment, anyway. --Keith Simanton ... Read more

Before My Daddy Left this old world...
Its fun, its got action, humour, some big bad money corporate dudes, and some emotional scenes.
Classic lines abound in this film.
Tom Sizemore makes an A grade villain, and some great shots show the most cool bike riding, great kitsch, and some plain basic hollywood fun.
Too many classic lines to list them all. But it should be a Classic film ... its got all the right moves and all the right curves.
ENJOY

Guns are meant to be shot, Harley
Bon Jovi sings over the opening credits.Heavy on the heavy metal, chopper hogs and chrome fetishes.Loud motorcycles and pole-dancing strip clubs.Even the convenience store clerk is drop dead gorgeous.Loud guns, bar fights, big explosions and high speed chases.
HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN is one of those testosterone loaded guy flicks that more or less defies criticism.Set in the near future - 1996 (the movie was released in 1991) - Mickey Rourke plays Harley Davidson and Don Johnson plays Marlboro Man, a pair of hard-living buddies who find themselves in possession of $2.5 million worth of `crystal dream,' a street drug that its owner, sleazy banker Tom Sizemore, will go to great lengths to get back.He sends heavily-armed and kevlar armored Daniel Baldwin and his gang of identically clad goons to retrieve the stuff.
Okay, it ain't Citizen Kane, but if you like watching stuff blowing up, guys getting into a lot of fights and women dressed in tight-and-clingy (and fading into the deep background after breakfast) HARLEY DAVIDSON & THE MARLBORO MAN is recommended.

Its amazing how Hollywood can take two great actors like Rourke and Johnson, put them in an unforgivably bad film like this one, then just sit back and watch all the money come in, and call it a success. This film just reeks of product placement deals, box office receipts, and big Hollywood money. Maybe one of the worst films I have even seen. ... Read more
