 | RESPeRATE Lower Blood Pressure, Without Side Effects: FDA-Cleared Medical Device | |
 | "After 60 days of Resperate, my blood pressure did not change" | 2009-08-24 |
| I bought this item at a local drugstore for $300 and used it every day for 60 days. It did not change my blood pressure at all.
I tried contacting the company (phone and email) and they never answered the phone or my emails. Since I paid for it with American Express, I was able to return it to the place of purchase for a refund. | ||
 | Little Giant Leg Leveler | |
 | "Leg Leveler is well designed" | 2009-07-10 |
| I bought two of the Little Giant 22-foot ladders and they came with two of the leg levelers. These are very handy when working outside around the house. For example, I used them to level my ladder when repairing my roof and these were rock-solid. What's even more impressive is that they held steady even when I was carrying 100 lbs of shingles while I went up the ladder. Add to that fact that I weigh 255 lbs, this means that the ladder and the levelers did not budge under a 355 pound load. That's exceptional since the limit of the ladder and the levelers is only 300 lbs. The levelers are a lot sturdier than shoving a board or a rock under a ladder leg to make the ladder level. | ||
 | Cuisinart CSB-76 SmartStick 200-Watt Immersion Hand Blender, White | |
| "Wonderful for making Mochas" | 2008-02-12 |
| I make a wonderful mocha every morning with this machine. I start out by using a coffee pressBodum New Kenya 8 Cup Coffee Press, Black, 1.0 l, 34 oz. and adding three heaping tablespoons of coffee. Next, I boil some water and pour it into the press and put the top on.
My next step is to take a large coffee mug (24 oz) Copco Big Joe 24-Ounce Thermal Travel Mugs, Set of 2 and take 1/2 square of baker's chocolate Baker's Baking Chocolate Squares 8oz and put it in the bottom of the cup. Add sweetener Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granular, Individual Packets, 700-Count Box to taste (I add 5 packages). Press down the stopper on the coffee press about 1/4 of the way down. Pour the coffee from the press to the cup until it is half full. Let it sit for 5 minutes (the boiling hot coffee softens the chocolate) and then stick the SmartStick in and blend for 30 seconds. Pull the SmartStick out of the coffee mug and fill the rest with the coffee. | ||

 | Presenting to Win: The Art of Telling Your Story | |
| "After 1 year, this book is already in its 7th printing!" | 2007-10-27 |
| My boss gave me this book as I had to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a major client. I thought "oh great, just what I need, another book telling me how to make PowerPoints. Whatever!"
So I started paging through the book and decided maybe that this is a little different after all. And next thing I knew, I went through the first two chapters devouring every word! Conclusion? This book is not just about PowerPoints, far from it. This book is about presenting and selling: whether you are presenting a product or presenting yourself. For example, most people don't know how to go about asking for a raise. Why? Because they walk into their boss's office saying "I want a raise or I'll quit" or "I want a raise because I'm expecting a child soon" or "I want a raise because Herbert is making more money that I do and we do the same job!" And of course, this leads to confrontation, and you end up getting either a little or no raise. But the book points out that whatever you do in life, you are constantly making presentations. Whether the presentation is for your customer, your boss, your wife, or your colleagues, you need to convince them to do something for you. And the simplest way to get them to act on your presentation is to tell them how they will benefit from doing what you want them to do. For example, you are going to make a presentation on some new electronic widgets and gizmos your company makes. You spend hours telling your customer the features of the widgets and gizmos but in the end the customer walks away without ever intending to buy your product. WHY? Because you neglected to tell them the benefits. If you had told them how the widgets and gizmos would make their job easier, used less electricity, etc., then they may have made the move to buy the product. SELL THE BENEFITS NOT THE FEATURES! So, the book tells you how to make your presentation into a story that will move the audience (e.g. customer, boss, spouse, etc.) rather than having a presentation that drolls on giving the audience fact after fact, feature after feature, with no clear beginning and no clear ending. I finished this book in a weekend and radically altered the presentation I had to give to my client. My presentation was well received and my company ended up with the contract we were seeking. To put this in Ebay's terms, I give this book an A++++++++++ | ||
