Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine

If you have an interest in first-rate home espresso equipment then may I introduce you to the one, the only, the infamous Rancilio Miss Silvia.

This machine is by far the finest machine for the money. It outshines on so many levels that it is not easy to know where to start explaining the highlights. Construction, steam-ability, quality parts, weight, resale value, name value, and price are all but a few of the things that make this machine tops.

HP Pavilion zd8230us 17″ Notebook PC (Intel Pentium 4 Processor 650 (H-T), 1024 MB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, LightScribe DVD+/-RW and CD-RW Combo Drive)

Keeping up with the times is important. Once you go mobile with a PC, it is extremely difficult to be tied down to a desktop. The trade off is that you give up upgradeability for mobility. Out of the box, this machine is good enough for most games, all office products, most A/V software, and still has enough processing power to handle more.

Monitor
It has a very clear 17″ LCD monitor that puts every other laptop to shame. The screen real estate allows for easy switching between numerous applications if necessary. It also makes for a fantastic DVD experience. There are no cons to the monitor.

Speakers
The native speakers are acceptable. This is a laptop, so high fidelity sound isn’t going to be a purchasing point, but these work at least as well as speakers typical for desktops.

Midtown Madness (Jewel Case)

In Microsoft’s Midtown Madness, the city of Chicago is your playing ground. There is traffic, street lights, stop signs, police, pedestrians and they all abide by the laws. When you race you will either race against contenders or against time and all other traffic still abides by laws so be prepared to whip in and out of those law abiding citizens and take any short cuts you can find. To start out you can pick any of the five unlocked cars. The other five are locked and you will have to prove your stuff to unlock them.

Black Leather HT-130 HTT-10i Robotic Human Touch Massage Chair RF

Curious as to how close the “Human Touch” comes to a real massage?

One of the best and most impressive features of the magical chair is the calf massager. It feels really good but it massages the side of the calf, not the back of it, which some may prefer more.

There are many different options of back rollers. It does a good job at a shiatsu style massage, but unfortunately there is no adjustment for width of rollers or amount of pressure. Without such adjustments, it can’t be called “human touch.”

Panasonic DVD-LS90 9-Inch Portable DVD Player

The Panasonic DVD-LS90 portable DVD player is a very adequately made portable DVD player, unlike the other brands out there which often look like they’ll fall apart after you pick them up. The LS90 has a firm and secure build and nice styling, and is unexpectedly lightweight for such a big-screen portable DVD player, even with the battery attached.

Nikon Coolpix S6 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Wi-Fi Capable)

The Nikon Coolpix S6, petite enough to fit in your pocket without attracting on-lookers, isn’t just a stylish fashion statement; it’s one of the best ultra-portable digital cameras around. It’s easy to carry, easy on the eyes, and easy to use. Of all the ultra-compact digital cameras out there, the Nikon Coolpix S6 stands out in terms of performance, battery life, style, features, quality, and value. You won’t be let down.
