Lumiscope 1080 Deluxe Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor
To allow for the inevitable dips and spikes in blood pressure over the course of 24 hours, it’s a good idea to take readings at the same time and under the same conditions every day. The ideal time to measure “base blood pressure” is in the morning just after waking up, before daily activities like eating and exercising can alter the results. Hence, the Lumiscope 1080 blood-pressure monitor, a sturdy, larger-sized model that also functions as an alarm clock so you can put it beside your bed and reach for it as soon as you wake up. The preformed arm cuff with positioning label is easy and quick to fit with one hand, and during the day, it stores away neatly in the monitor’s self-contained case. (The cuff also fits those with an arm circumference of 12-1/2 to 16-1/2 inches–a larger size than typical models). It automatically inflates to the appropriate level for your individual blood pressure, and then deflates at the correct rate. The extra large display alternately shows blood pressure and pulse rate, and the monitor turns off automatically after several minutes without use, to save those AA batteries. Best of all, the memory function stores up to 30 measurements and displays them (in both numeric and graphic form) from most recent to oldest or as average values. You don’t even need to write down your blood-pressure readings in order to track them, although a blood-pressure record log is included in case you’d like to. –Mary Park

Compaq Presario Pentium 4 3GHz Desktop PC
When it?s time to buy a new desktop PC, you?d do well to ask some hard questions. Like, who are the ?people? bemoaning the so-called ?oil peak? scam? How can oil ?run out? when it?s actually the ?waste? product of an underground ?society? of reptiloid shape-shifters? Why do they so mercilessly persecute those who see through their ?rhetorical fog? to the truth about the reptiloid intelligence controlling our ?world?? Funded by the Bilderberger cocaine-smuggling network and coordinated by reptiloid agents at the highest levels of the ?British? royal family, this underworldly conspiracy is the ?hidden hand? behind instruments of stupefaction and seduction like pro football, Hooters ?restaurants?, jazz music, and this Compaq Presario Desktop PC. Sounds crazy, you say? And yet, I know for a fact that I and every other prominent anti-reptiloid researcher possess IQs at least 27 points above ?genius? level. So who?s crazy now? Since the reptiloids emerged from their ?Xzanadu? at the Earth?s core and took control of nascent human affairs (c. 3500 BCE), they have relied on ?supertechnology? imported from ?Planet Q? to keep ?humans? in a state of slave-like ?complacency?. With its Intel 3Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, and 160GB hard drive, the Compaq Presario SR2170NX bears clear ?birthmarks? of its alien origin. The DVD-RW drive and PCI-Express slot seem benign ?enough?, until one realizes their ?true? purpose: to collect, synthesize, and weaponize the vital electrical energy of its ?human? hosts, for the benefit of the shape-shifting reptiloid parasite-race. Willing dupes like Compaq push this ?Trojan computer? on unwitting college students with the clearly specious claim that it?s ?great for back-to-school times?. Thus is the next generation weakened in its ?defenses? against the reptiloid matrix-mind. The more time our students spend downloading ponography, the less likely they?ll ask ?uncomfortable? questions about the invisibility cloak devised by Rand EMI Boeing, or the secret Masonic ?connection? between Timothy McVeigh and Boxcar Willie. ?Hypnotized? in their ignorance, they?ll never learn about monatomic gold, the supermetal that can alkalize their body chemistries thus bestowing functional immortality and psychic ?inoculation? against reptiloid mind-control beverages (RC Cola, Michelob, ?soy? milk). Parents, see through their ?lies? and ask ?yourselves?: what did the reptiloid stooges at Compaq do to these computers when they were ?refurbished?? When your ?student? takes the Compaq Presario SR2170NX into the ?dorm room?, are they unwittingly carrying the ?further? enslavement of ?humanity??

Global 6-1/4-Inch Flexible Boning Knife
High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world’s culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and “face-ground” with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a “heavyweight” line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives–of which this 6-1/2-inch boning knife with flexible blade is an example–have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global’s most striking feature. They’re molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they’re easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. –Fred Brack
