Customer Review: Satisfied
Satisfied so far. Was careful this time to incorporate excessive water to avoid indigestion problems that were faced the last time.

Looking forward to try the “Natural” Whey

Customer Review: Tastes good to me!
I have the Rich Double Chocolate flavored powder. I’m probably not doing this right, but I mix one scoop with 8 oz. of 2% milk (I know, not skim, shame on me!), and it tastes like chocolate milk. If I enjoy the taste of something, I’m more likely to continue doing it. I’ve been drinking two “shakes” a day in addition to 4 smaller meals, and I look forward to it each time.

As far as results, I don’t know if it has made a difference, because when I just began serious weight training about 3 weeks ago, and have had the powder since the beginning of the third week. I have been gaining weight, and my workouts are constantly improving, so something must be going right.

If you like chocolate milk, and you would like an extra boost of 24g protein (plus what is in the milk), this product/flavor may be for you. I haven’t tried it in water, and I really don’t plan to. Chocolate flavored water does not appeal to me. I’ll put up with the extra fat if it means that I’ll actually stay with the program.

Leslie Sansone’s In-Home Walking
List Price: $9.99
Used Price: $3.90
Customer Review: The Essential Exercise Video
A must-own exercise video, in this Leslie takes you on a 25 minute intense aerobics workout. Using only basic exercise moves (kicking, side-stepping, kick backs and knee lifts, mostly), Sansone gets you out of your seat with fast-paced music, inspirational words for dieters and overly enthusiastic comments on how well you’re doing. In all fairness, nothing has helped me more than this video. I’ve been using this (varied with a twenty minute audio cassette also by Leslie- great for traveling) three times a week for two years. I lost the ten pounds I wanted to and haven’t gained an ounce back since, WITH NO DIET CHANGES! The short duration of the tape is also encouraging, unlike a Richard Simmons (or most other similar workout tapes), you’re not dancing your buns off for upwards of an hour, it’s just 25 minutes! A must-own way for getting a healthy, non-obsessive workout without leaving your living room.
Customer Review: The best yet for couch potatos
I would highly recommend this tape to anyone that is just starting to exercise or has never exercised. It is so easy to do and follow. I have had knee surgery, and cannot do to much twisting or jumping, and this tape is just what I have been looking for. I will certainly purchase more of Leslie’s tapes in the future.

Yoga For Your Eyes
“This is yoga because this is union with the eyes,” explains Meir Schneider in the introduction to Yoga for Your Eyes. Born legally blind, Schneider underwent many operations as a child but was unable to see more than light and shadow; he had to do all of his schoolwork in Braille. Today he is able to drive a car without use of glasses or contacts, after improving his sight holistically. In this video, Schneider shares his techniques, using movements that originate in two main sources: the techniques of ophthalmologist William Bates and Tibetan yoga.

To begin, Schneider instructs you to remove your contacts or glasses (how he expects you to see the screen clearly enough to follow the exercises is not explained). Then he moves on to “palming,” a vision-improving exercise. The instruction is thorough, including directions on how to breathe, and the movements are simple and relaxing. The second segment is “Testing Your Vision,” in which you’re told to make your own eye chart to graph your improvement. “Stimulating Your Peripheral Vision” is next, and it requires three pieces of black construction paper and tape to help you balance the use of both eyes together. “Outdoor Exercises” explains why older people have more vision difficulties and shows how to improve this problem. The final exercises–”Sunning,” “Skying,” and “Long Swing”–help you to adapt to bright lights.

Schneider is an earnest instructor, who obviously believes strongly in his methods. If you’re looking for a natural way to improve your eyesight, Yoga for Your Eyes is the place to begin. Also included with the video is a 62-page study guide. –Jenny Brown

Customer Review: Yoga for Your Eyes
I have not had an opportunity to review the tape, but it arrived in a timely fashion and was a new product as promised.
Customer Review: Gentle and effective
This is a clear, well-produced video/book/eyechart set. I began using it five days ago and could see only a double image of the big E. Now after the exercises I can read the first three lines. I have worn bifocals for 40 years, and I’m now wearing my glasses only to drive. I don’t see every detail clearly — Mr. Schneider doesn’t either. I do see what I need to see, and my vision has improved in a very short time. This is a gentle method which can do no harm. I wish I had explored it years ago.

The Biggest Winner - How to Win by Losing: Cardio Kickbox (Aerobic Combo Workout, Nutrition)
Cardio Kick Box is a high-energy aerobic workout designed to keep you moving and boost your fat-burning capabilities while at the same time giving your muscles a day off from wither-training. Jillian recommends doing Cardio Kick Box once a week, in the middle of the week, to break up your regular exercise program. this program is to get out there and have some fun, and keep your body moving.

Customer Review: Very Basic Kickboxing
I’m not saying this is a bad DVD. However, it is VERY basic cardio kickboxing and its very short in duration. I understand now why it was cheap. I wouldn’t purchase this again as a single DVD. I might purchase the set, but not too sure about that either.

Anyway, this workout involves a simple warm-up, very basic moves, and then a cool-down. Again, I’m not saying the technique was bad. I’m just saying this was the type of video best used by a newby to the world of cardio kicboxing.

Customer Review: Not for beginners or people who are easily annoyed
After a few sessions, I’m motivated to break my TV, DVD player and the DVDs themselves, but not much else.

Michaels is great about setting a fast pace and making you work hard, but she gains that pace by completely failing to explain anything she’s doing. So if you’re someone who might injure yourself when you do something incorrectly in an attempt to recreate something you’re seeing for the first time while being screamed at in high-pitched banter, don’t bother.

Furthermore, Michaels is flat-out verbally abusive to the others in the video and the user. She’s frequently yelling at others for not working hard enough while she’s doing NOTHING AT ALL. If you’re prone to throwing things when angry, put some kind of shield in front of breakable objects before you insert the DVD.

If your goal is to find the most annoying fitness video out there, this package has five of them, so it’s a great bargain. If you’re interested in finding a workout plan that you can stick to, that’s easy to follow and low on mental torment, try something else. ANYTHING else.

Customer Review: Digiweig Postal Scale
I have become an ebay participant. I send out items through the mail and UPS everyday. I needed a postage scale so I bought a Digiweigh from Amazon. It has served me well. It gives the correct weight every time. When I take my items to the post office my packages and other mailings are always within a tenth of an ounce of the postal scale. In fact, the post office doesn’t even bother to weigh my items any more since the weight is always accurate. I’m buying a Digiweigh for my son who has also begun trading on ebay. It’s a great and reliable product.
Customer Review: Awful
I bought this scale for personal and business use. It worked fine for about the first 2 weeks, then it started having problems. When I turn it on it says E-L and shuts off. It use to do it everyonce and a while. I thought maybe my kids were involved with the mystery message. Now about 2 months later.. I can’t get it to turn on at all. It always says E-L. I don’t recall it coming with any papers.. if it did, I wish I could find them so I could tell them what I think of this product. I wouldn’t even go as far as to call this a true product. What a waste.

Pur 3 Stage Faucet Mount Filter #RF-9999
Customer Review: Great deal!
Amazon is the best! I love this website! OK now that being said this was a great deal to me one that I couldn’t pass up. The order came on time which is amazing in itself. The water is co clean. My only problem is that it doesn’t last 2-3 mos. Mines only last 3weeks and my daughter and I most of the time don’t even use it. If it wasn’t for the company telling that huge lie I would have giving it a 5star. Hopfully the company will work on this.
Customer Review: Pur delivers pure water
I have been using various Pur water filter products for about a decade and have always been pleased with the results, and now with the 6 pack on Amazon, my price has been cut in half! The water in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is generally good campared to many other communities, but what spurred me to use filters was what happens after the water leaves the treatment plant. A friend of mine works for the water-sewer department here. After his first week he went out and bought water filters once he saw what was in the pipes leading to the homes. A dirty little secret the treatment plants do not tell you is the number a leaks in the system allowing for ground water seepage, especially after a heavy rain. I can see it in my bath water. Because of this I am saving up to put a whole house filter on my intake pipe since our skin absorbs alot from showering and bathing. I will still use my faucet filters since I never waste money on dirty bottled water, I refill my own bottles, at a considerable discount of about 90%, and take them to work with me. Also, I water my most delicate indoor plants with filtered water and they seem to be healthier for it. The Pur 3 stage filter is definitely a bargain at these prices and well worth it considering the results.

This diet gave me irritable bowel syndrome. If you start to have diarrhea, you may have to go on medication.
Customer Review: Eat Right 4 Your Type
This is a very interesting book and one everyone should have. I had no idea that you should eat according to your blood type. All this time I thought I was eating healthy, I came to find out that I was eating the wrong things according to my blood type. No wonder I could never lose weight. I am so glad I found this book!

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mount Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn’t slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin the perilous descent from 29,028 feet (roughly the cruising altitude of an Airbus jetliner), twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly to the top, unaware that the sky had begun to roil with clouds.

Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed Outside journalist and author of the bestselling Into the Wild. Taking the reader step-by-step from Katmandu to the mountain’s deadly pinnacle, Krakauer has us shaking on the edge of our seat. Beyond the terrors of this account, however, he also peers deeply into the myth of the world’s tallest mountain. What is it about Everest that has compelled so many people — including himself — to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense?

Written with emotional clarity and supported by unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer’s eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.
Customer Review: Read Boukreev’s “Climb” and Decide for Yourself
While this book makes for a very compelling reading, it raises several questions about the accuracy of the story as told by Krakauer.

Anatoli Boukreev’s Climb should be read alongside the book.

When beckoned to assist other climbers, Krakauer did not do so. Boukreev did assist.

You then decide, whose story is more accurate, and closer to the truth.

Customer Review: Fantastic Book!
I recently became obsessed with reading about Everest and this book has been by far the best I have read. Jon Krakauer is a fantastic author and has put together arguably the best account of the tradgedy of 1996.

Customer Review: ROCKY MOUNTAIN RADAR UNIT- FALSE CLIAMES
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN RADAR/LASER SCAMBLER UNIT RMR-430. I TESTED THE UNIT WITH A POLICE RADAR GUN AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT RANGES. THE RADAR GUN WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THE SCAMBLER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SPEED OF THE TARGET VEHICLE ON ALL ATTEMPTS. A LASER GUN WAS NOT TESTED.

THE RADAR UNIT WAS ABLE TO DETECT THE RADAR SIGNALS X,K AND KA BAND DURING THE TEST. BUT DID NOT SCRAMBLE ANY RADAR SIGNALS. IF YOUR BUYING THIS UNIT FOR THE SCAMBLER REASON, IT’S USELESS AND A WASTE OF MONEY
