REVIEW
Boring This book is very basic, like a summary of all the tips. Which, if you are buying this book you are probably somewhat up on organic and this book will teach you nothing. I really wouldn't call it a book, it's more like "notes" on how-to be organic, but not "why" to be organic. Not enough info here for me!

REVIEW
Super Value I have tried a lot of cooking software. This is by far the best product on the market in my opinion. It's easy to use, simple to navigate, and very powerful. The company is well established and committed to supporting the product for a long, long time. They offer free upgrades off the Internet which I think is VERY cool. This is the real thing. What's more, you can't beat the price...for three CD's...it's a super value.

Perfect for friends, family and loved ones, this gift set includes one 5-7lb Himalayan salt lamp, one salt candle holder with soy tealight, 2lbs of Himalayan rocks for bath or solay, and one salt deodorant/body massage stone. Scientific studies have shown that salt crystal lamps can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%. Negative ionized air drastically reduces the number of indoor airborne bacteria and dust. Negative ions also benefit asthma patients, people with chronic lung illnesses, and allergy sufferers. As well, they help improve learning, memory, and emotional well being. By creating a balance of ions in the air, they stimulate natural drive and healthy energy. Their colors create a pleasantly calming and warm environment. A Solay Salt Lamp is an excellent source of negative ions and is strikingly beautiful, blending favorably with any environment. Heating the salt crystal with a bulb inside the lamp releases negative ions into the air. The salt crystal lamp improves air quality and your bodys health. For a constant ionizing effect, it is recommended that you light your lamp every day for optimalcleansing results. When a lamp warms, it attracts humidity and the surface of the salt crystal becomes damp. Negative ions build up and then released. Crystal salt lamps bind the excessive positive ions with their negative ions. The ions cleanse the air of harmful electro smog and other toxins. Known as Natures Ionizers, Salt Crystal Lamps eliminate a host of indoor air pollutants. Natural salt has been exposed to massive pressure for millions of years, it has resulted in the formation of this durable crystal salt. The more pressure on the crystal salt, the stronger its composition. This is why salt crystal lamps will not reduce in size, color, shape, or their ionizing effect. They are a long-lasting and stunning addition to any home or office.

REVIEW
uncooperative manufacturer Omron, did not work. I called the company that made it. They asked for the serial number which I gave them. They said it had been made four years before and that the batteries "were probably dead". That I could replace them. They were not willing to do anything to help so I returned the merchandise. I have no idea if it was a good product or not.
