Another good show gone. The people in charge of programming at all the networks need to be kicked out and some new, better people put in their place. They cancel good shows and keep terrible ones or lousy fake reality shows. Flash...

Shawn60 Yeah, but what happens when they pull the same stunt at the end of next season? I wish I could be an optimist.

Shawn60 A french press is simply a glass jar. It has a lid with a long pole through the center of the lid & a screen that fits into the glass jar attached to the pole. It's very difficult to describe...wish I could put a video on myLot. Anyway, you put the coffee...

This is a personal question, I know. Are you someone who shops and may buy the occasional gourmet blend that is on sale, but then stick to Chock-Full-O' Nuts Brand when you can't afford the others? I tend to be such a person....

Shawn60 Used to have a 12 oz Bodum but that wasn't quite enough of a cup for me so picked up the 32 oz :) I don't make that much at a time, usually 16oz will do me just fine but occassionally I have someone over that drinks coffee & it's perfect for 2 cups. I also use...

Shawn60 Wish I could upload a photo here....um, it's about the same size & shape as a half-gallon water pitcher. It only roasts 86cc's at a time.

Shawn60 Agree 150%! Recently had a run in with Jehovah's witness...decided to read up on their exact belief since they claim they are 'Christians' also. They do not believe Jesus is 1 part of the triune God, they believe he was a created being, some say the...

My Dad once asked me if I ever noticed how, at high speeds on a motorcycle, you turn right to turn left and turn left to turn right. I thought he was nuts. But you know, it's true. I never paid much attention to it until I tried...

Shawn60 I'll also add that many studies about inexperienced riders comment that in situations where the rider had to make quick decisions to avoid a collision resulted in them running straight into it. This is where countersteering has the greatest impact. Most riders...

Shawn60 It is called countersteering and trust me, it works. Yes, you do have to be moving fast enough for it to work but if you are traveling more than 5 mph, you're good. This is what happens when you countersteer...driving straight if you push the right hand on...

How many people do their own roasting? I picked up a Fresh Roast Plus 8 roaster & began ordering green coffee beans from Sweet Marias. I used to drink a lot of coffee (about 2-3 12-cup pots/day) before getting into the...

Shawn60 I have always heard Starbucks over-roasts their beans. Beans from different localities can take certain roast levels (there are several...goto Sweet Marias to see a detailed tutorial). But I'm more convinced it's the freshness that makes the most difference...
