I bought this when our cheapie electric burner died after about 3 years of continual use. We use our hot plate daily. I have no problems with it. it heats up quickly and everything has turned out fine. I have learned to not leave a finished dish on the burner or to set an empty pot back on the burner as the solid burner takes longer to cool.

This book was straight fire. I love Royal and Majesty as a couple. And all the other couples too. Royal ex Chinx need to just move on and leave Royal alone. He hasn't done right by her at all through out their whole relationship but don't want to see her with nobody else. And Majesty ex just pops back up like she got it like that. I hope that the babies are not his because she is going to be trouble. I wonder who was shooting at the house. Can't wait for part two.

SOY... That being said, make sure you do your research. Most of this is research I've done but if you just want my feelings on this product just scroll to the end and read the last 4 or 5 sentences. On with the review... Every single 1 star rating on this product is either because of taste or because there is Soy in it. I have also seen people crying about one of the ingredients being a plant that is basically the same as taking aspirin. I am a guy that likes to do research on stuff. I didn't do any research until after I started reading reviews. Kind of scared me by what people where saying. I'm a bigger guy so having man boobs would be catastrophic... LOL. I have read many articles on soy. Not only is it safe but there is nothings that says it will give you man boobs, in fact there are lots and lots of infants that can't handle cow milk so guess what they are given.. yep soy milk. There are also whole countries that soy of any kind is a staple that is used daily. I have found only one article that suggested soy was bad and that was about a guy that got enormous man boobs. When he when to the doctor they found out we was drinking a half gallon of soy milk a day and when they told him to stop, it fixed the problem. A half gallon... That is just crazy. Ok, now to the Aspirin thing. Have you ever researched aspirin and its medical benefits? Well, one of the biggest benefits is heart health. It has been proved to prevent heart attacks. In fact they say that is you think you are having a heart attack the first thing you should do is take an aspirin. It saves lives. Who would want that, especially in a natural form? Next, the taste. I agree, by itself this stuff is disgusting. I can't drink it by itself. I mix mine with diet green tea, OJ, crystal light and sometimes I put it in my Protein shakes if I'm using a berry flavored one. When I mix it with a drink that tastes good already, the greens make them taste even better! I prefer the berry to the orange but they work the same for me. I am NOT a rep for it works and I would never buy them off of amazon. The reason the company wants you to drink 8 cups of water is multi-fold I suppose. First off it is just good practice and very healthy to drink at least 8 cups or 64oz of water a day. Not only does it keep you hydrated but is also helps keep you regular and help keep you from getting constipated especially if you are taking in tons of protein. It help clear toxin out of your body and helps keep your kidneys healthy. Some ways that I know the greens have been working for me and helping me detox are; This is probably TMI but the way my urine smells and how my sweat smells and feels. I went thru a detox diet a couple of years ago that was given to me by a doctor and a nutritionist. That is the first thing they told me would happen. My pee would smell a little weird and that was because of what the detox is flushing from your system. The next one would be sweat. I sweat a lot when I'm taking my Greens. The other side affect of the Dr. guided detox I was on was my sweating. Your body sends toxins out with your urine and it send it out when you sweat. When I was on the Medical Detox and when I take the Greens the sweat is the same. It doesn't feel like when you are sweating when you are working out. The sweat when your body is going thru a detox has an almost oily feel to it and it smells different. Sounds gross but it feels great. Before I started taking Greens my hands were swollen every day and after I ate a meal I would feel bloated for hours. Since I've been taking them I have more energy, my hands aren't swollen, and the bloating doesn't happen any more. I also feel heather all around. Other people can say what they want but that will never take away how I physically feel.

Is it just me, or is everything having to do with Windows computers just getting worse? The new Microsoft Publisher 2013 (I have the subscription) is CRAP. My job is to make newsletters--one version in color for web subscribers, one in black and white for commercial printing. The new Publisher does not let you choose single, spot, process, or CMYK. It's just RGB, that's all you get. Now I have to sit here and turn everything that is in color to black and white by hand. Under design checker, supposedly there is a commercial printing option where you can change the color in one fell swoop--but my version has no COMMERCIAL PRINTING option for some reason. I called Microsoft. Support said, it should be there, yup. But it isn't, and they don't know why. They finally went home to have dinner. I have a brand new Dell, Windows 8, and a subscription for Office 365---I might as well have saved my money and kept using my seven year old half dead Vista machine....takes about the same amount of time to get anything done.

Let's be honest: the science is poppycock (e.g., neutrinos from the sun are suddenly "acting like microwaves" but ONLY the earth's core is affected?), and the storyline (by now well know) is pretty easily guessed in advance. I'd already seen this film before and watched it again purely for the amazing spectacle of all the special effects and disaster sequences. A fun, very silly romp that has slow parts easily fast-forwarded through to without hurting things too much. :-)

I put off buying a how-to book for a couple of months, thinking that I'd just figure stuff out on my own as I started up my solo practice. And while I didn't make any huge mistakes, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to do things on my own. I finally bought this on the recommendation of a friend from law school. I wish I would have bought this book sooner--it would have saved me a lot of time.
