The Brain Fitness Program

July 5th, 2008


The Brain Fitness Program
The Brain Fitness Program is based on the brain’s ability to change and adapt, even rewire itself. In the past two years, a team of scientists has developed computer-based stimulus sets that drive beneficial chemical, physical and functional changes in the brain. Dr. Michael Merzenich of the University of California and his colleagues share their scientifically-based set of brain exercises in this life-altering program.

Customer Review: Mistake
Thought this would be some exercises and things to do to improve the brain. It says Brain fitness Program. It turned out to be a copy of the PBS program and not a program for brain fitness. Hana

Customer Review: Great exercise video for children!
We purchased this exercise video for our 7 year old Diabetic child. Although the video is designed for younger children (up to age 6, I believe) we selected this video based on reviews. This video is very captivating and fun, and is well suited for 7-8 year old children, too. It is basic exercises, designed so that children that are new to regular exercise routines will have no problem learning the routines. This is a great, well designed, colorful and fun video that is sure to captivate children as they exercise!
Customer Review: Fun & upbeat!
My children had so much fun exercising with Kristi and JoJo the bear. We all loved the cute songs and caught ourself singing them the rest of the day. This video is fun, upbeat, and really encouraged my children to get up and exercise. It is one of the best kids video’s out there!

Jack Lalanne’s 108709 Power Juicer Deluxe Electric Juicer, Stainless/Black

July 5th, 2008


Jack Lalanne’s 108709 Power Juicer Deluxe Electric Juicer, Stainless/Black
Features: Super-sized detachable pulp collector. Stainless steel exterior with black accents. Extra-large round chute accommodates most fruits and vegetables. Special patented extraction technology delivers up to 30% more juice than other juicers. High performance 3,600 RPM induction motor with a lifetime warranty and whisper-quiet operation.

Customer Review: juicer
I like the juicer but there are a couple design problems. The spout does not open up very much. The base stops the spout thus if you are not careful the juice backs up if it is somewhat thick. I like to make enough juice to fill a 12-16oz cup. This won’t fit under the unit. I have solved this by placing the juicer on a high counter with the spout over the edge. I then catch the juice with a funnel placed in the cup. I was determined to make this purchase work out. Other helpful hints, keep a blender near by for your bananas and papaya these will not work in the juicer. Then mix your juice from the juicer into the blender to blend. Enjoy, where there is a will there is a way.

Customer Review: Not the best product.
The concept is great of juicing your way to health but the design has alot to be desired. If you’re not careful, you will wind up with pulp all over the walls. So not only are you cleaning the juicer but spending extra time cleaning the walls too. The info-mercial raves about how little pulp there is in the collector unit but what they fail to show you is how much also accumulates on the underside of the top piece of the unit. The big selling point was the 3 easy payments. I thought about returning it within the first 30 days but figured since I paid so much for shipping, I might as well keep it and deal with the shortcomings. Juicing is still a good option.

Note: I also have another Braun juicer from 20 years ago or so and it still works great and there’s no chance of the pulp hitting the walls on that one. The only thing with this one is that the chute is very small. I will be taking this juicer to the office so I can juice at work.

ESPN International Winter Sports 2002

July 5th, 2008


ESPN International Winter Sports 2002
Experience the thrills and brutal spills of cold-air competition with ESPN International Winter Sports 2002. The game’s 10 fast-paced events include downhill alpine skiing, freestyle mogul skiing, bobsledding, speed skating, and more. Carve gates at death-defying speeds in the slalom or bust big air in the ski jump. There’s even a curling competition. Compete in the trial mode and select events with aspirations of gold and record smashing. While in championship mode–the highest level of difficulty–you pick one country and compete in all events. Choose to represent the U.S., England, Canada, France, Holland, Italy, Japan, or Germany. Each country has its own unique characteristics and abilities as well as strengths and weaknesses. A two-player split-screen mode lets you go head-to-head in an in-your-face test of speed and skills. Crisp graphics render the winter conditions realistically, letting you spray snow in the slalom or stare down the glare of ice that faces you in the treacherous bobsled run.

Customer Review: But it has curling!
While the reviewer from Redmont is correct on every count (poor training levels, steep learning curve, inconsistent graphic quality between games and lack of total control), I feel the game should get two points just for its inclusion of sports not normally handled by console games — and while this category would include figure skating (go see how many console and computer games you can find with this one — far less than snowboarding!) most importantly it includes curling… an extremely addictive sport once you get into it either as a participant or spectator (sort of like golf,which is also from Scotland: people who aren’t addicts think it is slow and boring but once you pick up the nuances you can’t get enough of it).

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it’s important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re in the market for a new bike:

The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:

  • Road and Racing Bikes–As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
  • Mountain Bikes–With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike–even one that you use regularly on trails–adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
  • Comfort/Cruiser Bikes–For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price
A bike’s price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.

  • Entry-level–You’ll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
  • Mid-range–Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you’re looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the “sweet spot.” Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
  • High-end–Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

  • Stand-over Height–To find out if a bike’s overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you’ll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you’ll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
  • Top Tube Length–You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike’s posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
  • Bikes for Women–Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women’s bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don’t forget these crucial add-ons:

  • Helmet (this is a must!)
  • Seat pack
  • Lock
  • Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
  • Spare tubes
  • Portable bike pump
  • Gloves

Customer Review: Lo mas corriente
Compre esta bicicleta (en otro lugar)para dar paseos cortos y resulto un fiasco verdaderamente, no le funciona nada, la quise vender en una venta de garage y la persona que la probava se accidento al salirse la tijera con todo y llanta, y me quiso demandar!!!! acabe por tirarla a la basura…
Customer Review: Jeep should take its name off this horrible bike!
I bought this bike thinking since Jeep put its name on it then it should be a great, tough, rock solid ride! Boy was I wrong! Not only the bike feels cheap and extremely heavy, its mechanics are worst part. After taking it to a bike shop to get it tuned professionally, 10 of its gears still don’t work. Now you may say well the mechanic did a quick crappy job, let me tell ya, I stood by the guy as he worked on it for 2 hours yet the gears still didn’t work. Overall, I’d have to give this bike two thumbs down. You’re better off buying a bike from walmart!
