Chef’n SleekStor™ Collapsible Measuring Cup Set, Tangerine Practical and fun to use at the same time, SleekStor measuring cups from Chef’n make a great gift for the cook who thinks he or she has seen it all. Made of flexible, high-grade silicone, each cup is designed with ribs that enable the cup to collapse for compact storage, then pop open again when ready for use. Simply push down on the gray nylon frame or pull it up. The set consists of four sizes that cover most home baking needs: 1 cup, 1/2-cup, 1/3-cup, and 1/4-cup. The measurement size is embedded in the bottom of each cup and won’t rub off over time.

Chef’n makes the SleekStor measuring cup sets in a choice of six bright colors, to match or wildly contrast with any kitchen d cor. Pour boiling water into the cups or use one to skim soup without worry; the silicone is heat-resistant to 650 degrees F, and the nylon frame and handle to 400 degrees F. A clip that comes with the set slips through the handle holes and allows the set to be hung on a hook; and, of course, when the cups are collapsed flat, very little drawer space is taken up. All are dishwasher-safe on the top rack. –Ann Bieri

Good Will Hunting A true motion picture phenomenon, this triumphant story was nominated for 9 Academy Awards(R) — winning Oscars for Robin Williams and hot newcomers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The most brilliant mind at America’s top university isn’t a student … he’s the kid who cleans the floors! Will Hunting (Damon) is a headstrong, working-class genius who’s failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will’s last chance is a psychology professor (Williams), who might be the only man who can reach him! With acclaimed performances from Academy Award(R)-nominee Minnie Driver (GROSSE POINTE BLANK) and Ben Affleck (ARMAGEDDON) — you’ll find GOOD WILL HUNTING a powerful and unforgettable movie experience!
Customer Review: Big fan of Matt Damon and Robin Williams!
When I first heard the name of this movie many years ago, I was wondering who Will was hunting? Talk about your double-entendres for a title? Now I know better; for the title tells us Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon, is a good man; but a broken one like we all are who live in this imperfect world.

Anyway, I wasn’t sure whether to see this film when it came out, but having come from a broken home myself, I loved the film once I saw it. Both Damon and Williams carry the plot line well while using their own natural charisma to draw you into their characters. The camera work in this is also well done. Jean Escoffier did a marvelous job with all the shots.

It’s a simple plot of a young man, orphaned; brilliant, who is disconnected in some ways from the world, well in need of love and understanding and who keeps himself protected via his brilliant mind. He’s a master wiz with math and is in need of a brilliant intercessor, played by Robin Williams, to help him find his place in the world: Enter in Robin Williams as the psychiatrist. It’s a great film dedicated to character development which I’ve always been big on, even when I was in my teens and twenties; which I must say is a nice walk away at times from the roller coaster ride thrillers Hollywood likes to put out these days. So if you love good character development and a good delivery of the human condition; I’d watch this film.

Both Matt Damon and Robin Williams do a great job with the acting in this. In the scene when Matt breaks down and starts to cry, once Williams brings his character to full term and the gestalt takes place between them in terms of Will Huntings greatest fear, tears started to come down my eyes as well when I think back of the broken home I came out of. Great film: Not boring at all. Well worth the price of admission!

Case and DVD quality were just fine: No complaints. Delivery was on time: Again no complaints.
