How To Tell If Mushrooms are Safe to Eat? This is a quick guide to edible mushrooms . Cut the mushrooms in half and see if they are white inside. If they are dark or yellow they're probably poisonous. But always consult a guide. You can buy a guide below: Paperback: http://amzn.to/20Pz0BP Kindle: 9.99 http://amzn.to/20Pz3O1 I bought this book on a whim to add to my collection as the price was right and the reviews were few. Glad I did... I am an Eastern North American Picker and the book covers many species across the Northern Hemisphere. Some of the species covered are European only, though only a couple. Mushrooms Covered: 40 Edibles (Boletus, Chanterelles, toothy mushrooms, corals, milkys, a few gilled etc) and 9 Poisonous, including the typical troublemakers (Destroying, Deathcap, Deadly Gallerina). The focus is on safe picking so it is somewhat limited. The mushroom titles are from a European Viewpoint as the author is Swedish, so I had to read a bit on

Iron Gym Pull Up Bar Review The Iron Gym is a great chin-up bar; it works exactly as advertised. It is very easy to assemble, use, and attach and remove from a doorway. It seems extremely stable, and I have no problem believing it could support the claimed 300 lbs. Some things to keep in mind: As other reviewers have mentioned, it sits a little too low to be effective for dips, but putting your feet on a low stool helps with that problem. Check It Out Here Apparently (according to the ad copy) the ab straps are now included in the box--they were not included when I ordered mine from Amazon, and shipping is an additional eight dollars for the straps. Bummer. Assembly is pretty straightforward, but you want to make sure everything is tightened down, or the bar will feel unsteady, especially when used for push-ups and dips. But be careful not to over-tighten the bolts that go through the plastic brace--it looks like it would be fairly easy to 'strip' the unreinforced

PR1000 BowFLEX REVIEW This review is for the Bow flex PR1000 and my use of it over the last 3 months. I don't think it's necessary to go into great detail concerning the shipping etc. but the machine is packaged very well. Assembly time- With me and a friend it took about 1 hour. Quality- I was surprised on the quality of the machine. It is sturdy and very well made. After three months it is holding up as it did on the first day. Workouts- There is a lot of workouts you can do on this machine. I would highly recommend the bow flex body plan book as it is a valuable reference. Concerning the workouts the point of the Bow flex is resistance. Each motion of exercise should be controlled. Workout results-With dieting I have lost 35 lbs. and using the bow flex only 3 times a week for approx. 30 minutes a workout. Other Models- I was somewhat overwhelmed at the different models and Bow flex nor do reviews on Amazon really help in this area. After doing exhaustive re

This device is built solidly (it's definitely got some 'heft' to it), dishwasher safe, and works well once you get the hang of it... just note the following: * As other reviews have stated, it is HOT and somewhat slippery when it comes out of the microwave so always have something to hold it safely using two hands. You do not want to use your bare hands. I don't know why they didn't put a handle on it. * Putting it on a microwavable plate may make it easier and safer to handle (Credit to Alton E. Martin in the review comments) * Use some cooking spray to keep the eggs from sticking and for easier cleanup, otherwise it may be difficult to clean without scrubbing if egg residue dries on it. * Timing is important... you will have to experiment to get use to the best cooking times and the best results for what you're cooking and for your microwave's power. The unit includes some reference times that are very helpful and based on how many eggs you're c

A comprehensive review covering an unboxing, build quality, internal hardware, screen, keyboard, trackpad. With extensive gaming performance tests. Reviewed before launch of Razer Core. Is the Razer Blade Stealth worth it? Is it a good gaming laptop? Does it over heat or throttle? What is the Razer Core? Watch and find out! More info: www.razerzone.com/Razer_Blaze_Stealth Review unit: i7/8G/128GB/HD520 - US$999 Review: My background: I wanted this machine primarily as a working machine and not a gaming laptop since it is incredible powerful and the 14” display make it big enough to work on it (programming) and small enough for travel (I wish there were more 14” laptops!). Overall this looks like a very good alternative to a Macbook Pro 15” or a Dell Precision 3800 (both with dedicated GPU) or a Dell XPS 15. Before buying I read a bunch of reviews and many people were complaining about stuff like the battery life, the trackpad keys or the glossy display (touchscree

SHAKE WEIGHT REVIEW   Review: I saw this on TV the same day I saw the Neck Slimmer. No way would I ever buy it from the TV. I went to Target, and there it was, for 20, and I bought it. I went home, put in the 6 minute DVD into my laptop, and used it. I could hardly keep up.I guess I have weak shoulders. I woke up the next morning, with soreness in my muscles of my arms, in tiny muscles that aren't often used. Day 2, I did the same thing,and my biceps are more shapely. This is an amazing product!I belive in this thing, and I'm glad I found it at Target. I don't like my arms, and nothing seems effective. The Shape Weight is effective. I am going to do it every day (In the comfort of my own home, without a suggestive expression, as the woman on the infomercial has. Hiding it from my son's immature friends.) It is not a joke, it really works. For 6 minutes a day, it's surprisingly effective. I do wish it was marketed a bit differently so that it doesn't

Click here to learn more about activated charcoal Doctors Review: As a doctor I have advocated for years to my patients the use of activated charcoal for many different conditions. It absorbs toxins and works incredibly for ailments such as food poisoning or upset stomachs. It's fast, amazingly effective and doesn't absorb into our bloodstream. It is a natural detoxifier and is tasteless so I add some to my morning power smoothie. It also makes a great mask to draw impurities from out our skin leaving it smoother and healthier. Whenever I eat something with regret afterwards I pop 4 or 5 of these and avoid the upset stomach I knew was coming. This particular product I found to be excellent as it contains pure ingredients with no questionable fillers. I also love that it isn't as black as other products so that it doesn't make quite a mess when I brush my teeth with it, as it's a fantastic teeth whitener. This is one product that should be in everybo
