Skinny Bitch
Not your typical boring diet book, this is a tart-tongued, no-holds-barred wakeup call to all women who want to be thin. With such blunt advice as, “Soda is liquid Satan” and “You are a total moron if you think the Atkins Diet will make you thin,” it’s a rallying cry for all savvy women to start eating healthy and looking radiant. Unlike standard diet books, it actually makes the reader laugh out loud with its truthful, smart-mouthed revelations. Behind all the attitude, however, there’s solid guidance. Skinny Bitch espouses a healthful lifestyle that promotes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and encourages women to get excited about feeling “clean and pure and energized.”

Customer Review: The Problem, Not the Solution
Forgive me for saying so, but there are far too many bad diet/nutrition books out there, and this one is indeed at the top of that heap. It seems we are always being bombarded with new (mis)information regarding nutrition. This book makes several very lofty, and might I add unrealistic, claims which most doctors would categorize as utterly without merit, for the most part. I found the writing style to be unneccessarily crass and condescending and the authors beyond biased in their approach. While I can appreciate the suggestion of incorporating more fruits/veggies and grains into the diet, to do so without the proper balance of protein and dairy can be very unhealthy, not to mention boring. And spare me the governmental conspiracy theories regarding nutrition. Last time I checked, the USDA wasn’t sneaking into houses to force feed Twinkies. Perhaps we should place some of the blame for the obesity epidemic on E.T. for all those Reese’s Pieces he made us eat! The bottom line is that the best way to achieve optimal health is to seek balance in nutrition, exercise and daily life in general. I hate to break it to the “Skinny Bi*ches” who wrote this book, but that does include the occasional piece of cake or glass of wine or latte or whatever the heck makes you happy. I am frankly sick and tired of people who take it upon themselves to extract every bit of joy from life by telling us all just how bad everything is for us. (You know, the types that insist on telling you about the pig lips in your hot dog just as you are about to take a bite.) I would not recommend this book to anyone because life is too short to waste time aspiring to be an angry, ranting former model, no matter how “skinny” she may be. Exercise, portion control, the occasional indulgence, and a sense of purpose in life beyond being a “skinny b*tch” is the best way to be healthy and look good in your jeans. For my money, filling your body with “crap” (as the authors contend the rest of us do) includes what you put in to your mind. This book is junk food for the brain.
Customer Review: Vegan health without animal-cruelty
For those of us who are vegan, this book presents affirmation. For those who are meat and dairy lovers, the book describes the brutality imposed on innocent animals to mass-produce meat, eggs and dairy. It presents alternate ways to find protein. Reading some of the chapters on animal brutality brings tears to your eyes. It reminds me of the Thanksgiving day of killing over 40 million birds the same day. How could we give thanks while executing a crime of mass killing, right? The book is full of useful information though. One shortcoming is that it does not provide a scientific and complete eating plan, which you would find in Dr. Fuhrman’s `Eat to Live’ book to loose weight and stay thin and healthy. As a side note, I never understood why she needed the insert vulgar language here and there to present the material -since generally speaking the book uses a fairly decent presentation language.
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

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.

Customer Review: Once you go Sonicare you never go back.
What a great toothbrush. I have one and my wife has one. She was a hard sell but once she used it for a week she was SOLD! Now she even takes it with her on business trips rather than a normal toothbrush. I have had mine for over 2 years and it still work great. The battery doesn’t last the 2 weeks it used to but it still only needs to be charged once a week or so. Not bad at all. It is worth the money so pull the trigger.
Customer Review: Good, but mold a definite problem
I have owned my Elite model for about 6 months now. Previous to that, I was the owner of the “original” Sonicare toothbrush for about 7 years, which used the standard heads rather than the angled “elite” brush heads. I replaced it only because the non-user-replaceable battery finally gave up the ghost. In general, all the sonicare models do an outstanding job of keeping teeth cleaned, if used properly. I like the sonic action better than rotary or slower-speed mechanical motion. The sonicare keeps my teeth feeling polished. The timer also forces me to brush for a full 2 minutes - 30 seconds for each quadrant of my mouth. As such, I am not going to spend a lot of time commenting on the effectiveness of the sonicare approach in general (which I think is excellent) or in comparing it to other brands. Instead, I’m going to focus here strictly on comparing the new Elite model to the previous model which used so-called “standard” sonicare brush heads rather than “elite” brush heads. First, let’s talk about the relatively few things I like about the new model: * battery indicator - shows when charging (which old one had) and shows how much charge remains (which old one did not have) * styling - mine is blue/white and looks attractive with its rubberized side grips. However, I have a sneaking suspicion the rubber is going to fade and look old more quickly than my older model which was entirely white plastic except for a single small on/off button. * charger - the new charger has open sides, unlike the old model which was a sealed “well” that would trap water and give rise to gunk build up. The new design seems like it will stay cleaner and inhibit model or mildew…at least on the charger base itself * angled brush head - the angle of the “elite” design makes it easier to clean behind your teeth and is used even in most non-electric toothbrushes today. Unfortuately, that is about it in terms of improvements. The big black mark (and I do mean black literally) is that there is a significant problem with mold build-up on this design. * BLACK MOLD - On my old model, I never had a mold problem - ever. Also, the mold problem is not a factor of my environment. I live in Nevada. Humidity is the least of our worries and my house runs conistently drier than normal, particularly in the winter when it is cold and there is very little moisture in the air and the forced-air furnace is running. Many people have to use humidifiers (I don’t use one) to keep the house comfortable. On my old model, I never removed the brush heads except to change them and perhaps once a month to clean the built-up toothpaste that accumulated around the collar that secured the head to the handle. I can honestly say that in 6+ years, there was never a hint of a mold problem. On the new model, however, I began to see the appearance of black mold within 2-4 weeks of purchase. A sanitizer won’t help, either, because the location where the mold is growing is not likely to be exposed to the UV light in the charger. It focuses on the brush stem and bristles, while the mold is in a sort of “cavern” that the light won’t reach. In my opinion, the new model is a poor design and the company is going to have a significant problem until they redesign the brush heads and eliminate this rubber seal entirely. * Handle - my old handle was constructed entirely of plastic, with no rubberized sides. Admittedly, the new sides make it easier to grip. However, I don’t ever recall dropping my old handle because it was overly slippery and my old handle sayed nice and clean because it was entirely of smooth plastic. After 6+ years the white had discolored to an unattractive dull yellow, but it had the important advantage of being able to keep clean. Any white plastic is bound to discolor over time. The new design looks attractive now, with its accenting blue rubber sides; however, that rubber is very likely going to fade and discolor relatively quickly, unlike the previous model which took a very long time before it started to look shabby. Also, toothpaste sticks to the rubber more readily than to the smooth plastic of the old model, making it slightly more difficult to keep clean. Not a big deal, but worth noting. * Handle seal - the handle’s cover has a very small gap around the circumference, right below the threads where the brush head attaches. This is an obvious location for moisture ingression, since when you stand the toothbrush upright, water will drip down to the little “ledge” formed in this location and pool there. The gap isn’t large, but is visible to the naked eye. If I can see it, so can water molecules. In time, I suspect this will spell a problem for the internals. All in all, the new model is more attractive, has a battery indicator, and the angled brush head is slightly easier to use. However, I’m afraid these modest improvements do not eclipse the serious problem noted above; namely, mold growth. I never used to have to take my brush head off, except when toothpaste built up and actually started to inhibit the sonic vibration of the brush head. Now, I’ve taken to removing the brush head after every use to allow everything to air dry properly. It’s a bigger hassle and I’m not confident it will alleviate the mold growth. After all, I think most people are like me and want to focus on maintaining their TEETH - not their toothbrush. And, I’m not real keen about having black mold 3 inches from my mouth, even if it is trapped inside the “guts” of the brush head and not on the brushes/stem itself.
