| Ballot Measure 9 by H |
|||||||||||||||||||
Customer Reviews: While fighting Prop. 8, although we were aware of previous attempts by the religious right, both within California and without, to legislate their ongoing dehumanization of gays and lesbians, we did not realize that there existed this 1995 documentary about Oregon’s ballot measure 9, let alone the fact that Heather MacDonald had updated her film in 2007 with new footage in which some of the activists were reunited and discuss what they learned during that fight. The resemblance of the still-recent Prop. 8 battle to what happened in Oregon in 1992 is uncanny. But the comments made fifteen years later, on the bonus track, about the campaign against ballot measure 9 by activists Kathleen Saadat and Donna Red Wing were chillingly on target about what happened just last year in California, even though that battle had yet to be fought. Frustratingly, Californians could have learned a very important lesson from this monumental struggle, yet our ignorance and complacency prevented us from doing so. The film portrays in vivid detail the extreme climate of fear, hate and violence that proponents of BM 9 created for gays and lesbians all over the state of Oregon. Yes, people actually died as a direct result of pro-BM 9 violence. Watching the film, it was hard to believe that something like that could happen in America, yet we know very well from the venom spewed by anti-gay churches and other organization what these modern fascists are capable of. Although the forces of justice prevailed on election night in Oregon, the message the film conveys is that all of us have a responsibility to continue to fight the forces of hate, ignorance, lies and misinformation that conspire to take anyone’s rights away, whether it is our own or our neighbor’s. The gay community has so long been oppressed — and continues to be so — that we often forget that we too must come to the table and speak out against injustices against others, even in “times of peace,” not just when there’s a raging legislative battle, because then it’s too late. If we truly want the loving, tolerant society we dream of living in, where every human being has value, we must all work to create it. That means having the courage to come out and be visible. Even those of us who are already out often choose to remain invisible, to not push the envelope, to not cause controversy by something as simple as holding hands. Unfortunately, this only allows us to be oppressed further. Ballot Measure 9 conveys the message of community-building and common humanity so effectively, so touchingly, that I believe every university, high school, library and community group should have a copy and show it freely and often. Buy a copy! Have a movie-viewing party at your house with friends and family! This message is too important to ignore. A Word to the Wise America as She Is America as She Is Amos Lassen “Ballot Measure 9″ tells the story in a documentary of the 1992 struggle to defeat the anti-gay ballot iniative in Oregon and a chilling and sobering tale it is as it shows the context of the movement at large. You would not expect a film on a subject like this to be uninteresting but it is quite though provoking and provocative at the same time. Heather MacDonald who wrote and directed the film, it looks carefully at the hysteria and hatred which was brought about by those in opposition to “special rights for gays and lesbians”. These people were urged onward by members of the Christian right. It is quite easy to see how the director tried very hard to maintain a balance between the pros and the cons of the measure but the true empathy of the film lies with those who organized themselves and others to oppose and defeat the measure. These were laws that would have denied legal recourse against discrimination in housing and employment to homosexuals. Likewise ballot measure 9 would have prevented cities from enacting their own legislation for civil rights for gays and lesbians.
Really well done, painful, funny, important spectacular

| Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, Black and Chrome | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: The first thing I can tell you is this is not as noisy as the centrifuge juicer I tried (Jack L juicer). The sound is similar to an old hand mixer on low speed. The second thing clean up took less time and was easier. Mainly the parts are smaller so they’re easier to clean thoroughly. There are no awkward nooks & crannies where food can get stuck. The Omega 8600 clean up involves four main parts. The (1) shoot the food comes down, (2) blade is really a big plastic drill-bit looking thing, (3) the part which determines is the stuff you are grinding going to come out in juice form or a more solid form (such as pasta or banana yogurt!), (4) and finally the collector bins - either or both depending upon what you are doing. It takes more time for me to get the hot water going than the length of time it takes to do the clean up for the Omega 8600. Preparation is a bigger deal than with other juicers because the opening is much smaller. Some carrots for example had to be cut in 4ths to get it down the shoot. As one reviewer said with another Omega model, it gives you time to think about what you are preparing. The liquid output appears bolder/brighter and without foam compared to the centrifuge juicer. It’s funny, I do notice I pause before preparing my juice to ponder would this be just as good for me if I were to sit and eat the orange, apple and carrots versus putting them into this machine and blend them. What enhances my experience with juicing is the other ingredients such as adding that bit of ginger - yum! When I was using the centrifuge, I thought more about if I had time to do the clean-up after. The machine itself is sturdy. Having it in a place where you can add the ingredients easily rather than having it stuffed under the cabinet will enhance your access and ease of use. I am VERY happy with the Omega 8600. It was difficult to wait the 3 weeks - I’m typically a want it now buyer. Mine showed up a few days earlier. I filled my time in cleaning out my refrigerator in preparing to integrate juicing in my diet. See uploaded picture of my juicing station. Finally one bit of advice.. No matter what kind of Juicer you acquire - CLEAN UP right after you juice, drink after - clean first! This prevents anything from WELDING to any parts later. Happy Juicing! Great juice but auger is chipping / scratching……. Let there be no doubt, this really does produce a great quality juice. I am a little nervous, however, about one thing. I washed all the parts for the first time and then I proceeded to make carrot juice with some greens in it, and then also tried some frozen bananas and strawberries to make a sorbet. Both recipes were very successful, and, the cleanup was also very easy. Although I should mention I had to partially thaw the strawberries as they were just too hard for the juicer to initially accept them. My concern is that after cleaning and drying the auger, I noticed that even after only the very first use of the machine the auger has scratch marks on it - some of them noticeably deep. The scratch marks are from places where the auger comes in to contact with metal that is on the inside of the juicing screen. Also when I hold just the auger and the juicing screen in my hand and turn the auger inside of it, you can hear and feel how the auger seems to catch on something during the rotation. I am currently giving this juicer a rating of three stars because although I have found it to produce an excellent quality juice for carrots and greens alike, the fact that plastic (or whatever the auger is made of) is slowly being added to my juice and the pulp makes me wonder if that is healthy! I would greatly appreciate anyone’s comments on this as I should also note that I am new to juicing, however, I have thoroughly examined the machine and how to assemble it and don’t believe I’ve done anything which would have contributed to such easy scratching of the auger. I have emailed Omega to ask about this concern but have not heard back so far (it’s been 1 day since the email was sent so I’m giving them more time). I imagine they must be busy right now with the high demand for this new juicer. It is my hope that I will be able to eventually up the rating from 3 to 5 stars, however, how could I with plastic chipping in to my food? I leave the rating at three stars because it really does make excellent juice, but at what cost (plastic in the food)? Better than imagined! Omega J8006 Juicer review Amazing juicer

| Canon MF6590 Duplex Copier, Printer, and Color Scanner with Super G3 Fax | |||||||||||||||||||
Features: Customer Reviews: The long and short of it is, we have a defective product that Canon has not been able to correct, Amazon will not help us and the Amazon supplier says “Sorry, but our contract with Canon says we can not do anything for you after the first thirty days of receipt of the product. Good luck, but I hope you will be smarter than we were. Can’t complain Great Copier, Great Scanner, Good Printer Satisfied Customer Printing (B&W) and scanning is fast, efficient, and relatively quite. I haven’t used the fax capability, so I can’t comment on that feature. I have used the device to scan and print thousands of pages without any problems. I still haven’t had to replace the cartridge (which I shouldn’t have had to). For the money, this is a great machine which I would recommend to others. Misleading Network Capabilities At roughly $550.00, I expected a lot more. I have a significantly less expensive inkjet printer/copier/scanner/fax at home that actually will scan across the network, and yet this expensive piece of junk can’t? Very disappointing, and in my opinion, very misleading. So, be warned, that if you are looking for a network scanner, look elsewhere.
