1984 (Signet Classics)

1984 (Signet Classics)
George Orwell’s prophetic, nightmarish vision of “Negative Utopia” is timelier than ever-and its warnings more powerful.

Customer Review: One of the best
As hard as it is to say what the single best of most anything is, George Orwell’s 1984 comes as close to that title as any I can think of. The vision he presents is so engrossing that one is left haunted. He gives the world he envisions such texture and reality that it almost becomes real. There is a reason this book is referred to so often: it represents many of our worst possible fears. The complete control over every facet of existence wielded by Big Brother over Winston and the rest of the polity is so frightening that the images conjured by this book are used even in contemporary politics.

Customer Review: Orwells dark but good book
George Orwell’s, “1984″, is a classic and detailed adventure that will leave you asking for more. The story is set in London where Winston, the main character, works for big brother. But he soon finds himself questioning Big Brother and how he works.

For a while Winston tried to blend in with the crowd and not really stand out. But when Winston starts to remember his childhood, he begins to question Big Brother. Winston soon finds himself wondering what life was like before big brother. But unless he takes a real chance, he has no way of changing anything.

One flaw I found with the book was its detail. I like a lot of detail, but this book overdid it. I would soon found myself thinking about other things and not the book.

Nordic Ware Divided Skillet/Omelet Pan, Charcoal
Nordic Ware Divided Omelet Pan
Customer Review: Easy to use.
Easy to use, I also used it for grilled cheese works great. Only draw back wish it was a thicker pan. No stick with cooking spray.
Customer Review: Good Omelet cooker
The pan worked as advertised. The metal is thin so be careful about over heating. A thin pan helps when cooking an omelet. A heavy pan will overcook. Love the flip over design… Well made and works great. Be sure to use wooden tools as not to scratch it… The added bonus of the egg cooker is very nice. As eggs are the best foods you can eat, I eat a lot of eggs… I hand wash the pan.

Customer Review: Perfect donuts!
The shipment came fairly quickly and the pan is great! No sticking and the donuts came out great! I would definitely recommend. The recipe I made came out to taste more like muffins, so this pan can be used for both!
Customer Review: Not as healthy as you might think
I bought this pan a few weeks ago. I got it under the impression that a baked donut would surely have less calories and fat than it’s deep fat fried version. Well I got the pan and tried the recipe that came with it. The donuts that came out of this pan were “ok”, good enough to enjoy a donut without all the guilt anyway. Then I figured out the calorie information for the donut and I was rather shocked. With no toppings, glaze, or ANYTHING added to the donut the baked donut clocks in at 219 calories and 9 grams of fat. That might not sound bad until you look up Krispy Kreme and see that their glazed donut is only 200 calories and 12 grams of fat. Dunkin’ Donuts has even fewer calories. My attempts to lower the baked donuts calorie content resulted in donuts that had a bland taste and bad texture. Tonite I made regular deep fat fried donuts to take to work with me, and I measured the oil I used before and after making the donuts to determine how much of the oil was absorbed by the donut. The deep fat fried donut (WITH sugar coating) ended up having only 5 more calories per donut and 2 grams LESS fat than the baked plain version. While these pans are technically good pans, and they perform as advertised, I wouldn’t recomend them to anyone that’s considering them for a “healthier” donut. I’m packing my pans up, and when I want the occassional treat I’ll go for the real thing.
