Swinging Sisters (N)

Book Description

Swinging Sisters is a one-of-a-kind book, because there is no other story like it.

Come along for the ride with a Depression era all-girl band as they tour the country in a 1928 Packard hearse. The Texas Rangerettes garner headlines in Variety and Billboard for several years before taking a fork in the road that subsequently has Paramount Studio cameramen camping on the women's doorstep hoping to film a history-making event featuring four band members.

Based on a true story, Swinging Sisters celebrates the life of a family rooted in the Irish famine who achieves success and happiness in two diverse careers.

swinging sisters.......2006-11-05

I found the book to be delightful, easy reading for when I want to read something light.

Keep up with the Joneses.......2005-06-25

This charming story is a smooth read all the way through; the blend of fact and fiction is seamless. Christensen used historical facts in a clever and entertaining way. The improvised dialogue, appropriate to the time and place, sometimes reads like the script for an old-time musical where Garland and Rooney say, "Hey, Gang, let's put on a show." And you know what-this book would make a fun and lively movie. A song title introduces each chapter, and with lots of music throughout the book, you might find yourself singing along, tapping your toes, and feeling good.

Semi-historical introduces another Time Lord.......2000-10-12

'The Time Meddler' introduced a new element to the Doctor Who series: that the TARDIS, and the Doctor, are not unique. This story introduced the Monk, a mysterious traveller in time and space with his own TARDIS. However, unlike the Doctor, the Monk wants to change history...

Set in 1066, not long before the Battle of Hastings. The Monk is planning on supplying the Saxons with nuclear weapons so they can destroy the invading Vikings (talk about overkill!). The Doctor, therefore, sets himself and his companions with the task of ensuring history stays on track.

Things are complicated by the Doctor's new companion, Steven, who seems happy enough to accept that the TARDIS can travel through space but doesn't believe it can traverse time.

This description may make the book sound better than it actually is. It isn't bad, but not terribly wonderful either. The problem is that, rather than adding in substantial interaction with natives of the time, the story ends up being the two Time Lords (although not called such at this point in the show's history) trying to out trick each other.

Crayons, Construction Paper & Glue, oh my!.......2007-07-19

As a rule, I do not encourage my Sunday School teachers to use coloring books. I've always viewed them as busy work that stifle creativity and basically waste valuable class time. However, I WILL encourage my teachers to use Coloring Creations:52 Bible Activity Pages because it is definitely more than a coloring book. Each individual page is a simple interactive creative activity that teachers can use to guide children in a hands on Bible experience. Simply photocopy enough pages for your class. Bring out the crayons, construction paper & glue. (Oh, my!) Follow the easy to follow instructions & watch the Bible come alive for your class.

Hands on Activity Color Sheets.......2007-07-02

Coloring Creations is more than just a coloring book. Although the pages may be used as just a "time filler" by just using the picture, the activities associated with the picture allow the children to actually experience the lesson.

So-So.......2007-04-22

While there is nothing wrong with the book it was disappointing for me, as the pictures were not very color friendly. They are designed for adding craft items more than for coloring. I do use the book, but after scanning in the pages and modifying them.
I am a Sunday school teacher for young children and the pages as they are, do not appeal to them.

Not worth the time, even if you have bored little kids.......2005-10-06

I enjoy reading cookbooks, and I'm always on the lookout for easy recipes (I enjoy cooking, usually, but I'm not a fanatic about it), and Betty Crocker books usually include a number of no-nonsense dishes that don't involve arcane ingredients. But this one is pretty much a disappointment. The subtitle is "Simple Recipes and Fun Ideas to Turn Mealtime into Quality Time," and the idea seems to be to increase "together time" by decreasing time at the stove, and by involving the kids in the food prep. Well, all my kids are grown and long gone, and I don't need to color lunch bags, personalize the pizza, jumping in the leaf piles, or telling stories about objects in the kitchen. There are themes, too: "Asian Night" includes egg rolls (buy them frozen at the store -- whoopee) and "Cantonese Chicken Chop Suey" (just chicken breasts, rice, and frozen stir-fry veggies). The rest of the book goes on like that -- ordinary dishes, old short-cuts, and lots of warm fuzzies. I'll pass.

Some good, some bad...........2005-07-11

I found this ro be something of a disappointment as almost all of the recipes use highly processed foods of some sort and I feel that there is very little attention to dietary requirements. The sodium content, particularly, of many meals I found alarming and would not make many of the meals for my young kids, especially not on an every night basis. Having said that, there are a couple of recipes - the chicken pot pie in particular stands out - that are quite nutritious, especially if you take chef's privilege and use more fresh veg/less salt! 3 stars for those few recipes.

Overall, an okay purchase as a used item but I wouldn't recommend paying full price for it.

As the title says: easy FAMILY dinners.......2005-02-19

As the previous person commented this cookbook is not bobbie flay or emeril. It's not suppose to be. It's for busy families with kids. It has suggestions for quick and easy dinners that the kids can help prepare. It's not gourmet, it's not suppose to be. It does have cute suggestions with activities to do with the kids. I loved it. It does use packaged foods and prepared ingredients but so what? Who doesn't nowadays? Worth it.

Forget About It..........2004-12-28

If you like mixing processed food together and believe the results match those like Bobby Flay, then forget about it. This is a book for people who have trouble boiling an egg. Buy some ramen noodles, some kraft macaroni and cheese, and some Tombstone pizza and save your money instead of buying this trash. If you really want to cook, buy Marcella Hazan, Anthony Bourdain, or even Emeril. BAM! Bam, Bam, Bam! this book in the fireplace!

PS 2 stars since it was a Christmas present; it's the thought that counts. That's what I cherish about this gift.

A great book for cooking and family time!.......2004-05-19

Trust Betty Crocker to come up with a book combining cooking with family time!

Long overdue (I don't know WHY no one has thought of this before!), this book gives great recipes that take little time and stress along with ideas for family together time. The ideas are fun and do-able with little preparation or supplies. Get your kids cooking in the kitchen with you, or just keep them busy while you cook. It's all here and you can do the activities w/out much forethought.

This is great for people wanting to spend less time in the kitchen, but still feed their families good meals and more time talking to their kids and spouses.

I recommend this highly!!!!!!!!!!! Let your kids pick out the meals and activities, do family "theme" nights. A great book!

Book Description

For 100 years Steuben has represented the pinnacle of the American glassmaker's art-internationally acclaimed, a gift of presidents, and treasured possession of collectors. But not everyone who can afford to buy Steuben crystal intuitively appreciates its quality, history, and inherent value. With compelling words and striking images, Steuben Glass: A Legacy of Light and Form reveals Steuben's colorful history, peerless artisanship, and uncompromising standard of quality.

In this volume, the images tell the Steuben story: vintage photog-raphs reveal its history; journalistic shots chronicle the painstaking process of designing, forming, finishing, and engraving a piece of Steuben; and gorgeous still-life images commissioned especially for this book display the astounding clarity and sculptural beauty of Steuben's masterworks. Brief introductory texts and extended captions are all seamlessly melded with the images in a modern, sophisticated design that reflects Steuben's forward-looking approach as it launches its second century of making "the world's most perfect crystal."

Showcases Steuben's colorful and complex history.......2004-09-09

Steuben glassware has been justifiably acclaimed as the pinnacle of the American glassmaker's art for the past hundred years. Steuben Design: A Legacy Of Light And Form by Mary Jean Madigan showcases Steuben's colorful and complex history, internationally recognized artisanship, and demonstrably uncompromised standards of production quality. Profusely illustrated with 120 illustrations (46 in full color) Steuben Design combines vintage photography and a journalistic approach to chronicling the painstaking process of designing, forming, finishing, and engraving a piece of Steuben glassware. Enhanced for the reader with introductory texts and extended captions, Steuben Design is a welcome and recommended addition to any glassware connoisseur's personal collection and would make a popular addition to academic and community library American Art History reference collections as well.

Book Description

Imagine curing migraines by merely altering a simple lifestyle habit. Even more, imagine this same lifestyle habit, something we take for granted as normal, can also cause Alzheimer's disease, impotence, stroke, glaucoma, sleep apnea, and more. There would finally be hope, real hope, for the countless millions who suffer from these conditions, and for their families and loved ones who suffer with them. It would be a dream come true.

Well, the dream has come true! Get It Up! solves the mystery that has eluded scientists for over a century. We now know what migraines are, what causes them, why some people have them, and how they can stop having them. Get It Up! describes how to truly prevent and cure migraines by stopping the cause, as proven by results from the Migraine Relief Project. And the health implications go far beyond migraines.

Get It Up! explains in clear language how the brain works, what it needs to work well, and how it can become diseased by a simple lifestyle practice that has been recognized, but ignored, my medicine. Self-study directions help the reader practice the needed lifestyle change to recover brain health, vitality, and clarity. More than that, Get It Up! will empower you with information that may extend your life, and improve its quality.

lower your eye pressures.......2007-06-23

I have had high eye pressures for my whole life. Having high eye pressure can contibute to glacoma.My eye doctor has suggested laser eye surgery more than once.(not the fun kind either!)I had searched the internet for anything that could help me out and this was the only reference that came up.
I bought the book 6 months ago and worked the simple "solution" to my eye issues.My pressures were close to 30(29.5) after 4 months the left is down to 20 and the right 26.I am extremly happy to avoid and surgery or medication. Its also helped me with another problem listed in the book.

BUY THIS BOOK if you have any of these medical problems issues. Its a cheap easy solution.

amazing difference.......2006-03-10

i had a migraine for a month. i bought the book. by using a 14 inch wedge under my pillow and sleeping with my head raised--the headaches have almost completely stopped, immediately. the book explains the whys behind it, cranial pressure etc. it certainly worked quickly for me and i was at the point of desperation and prescription painkillers were not working. (i am not a kid but i like my privacy)

Yes, it works.......2003-06-20

My initial skepticism about this theory did not survive after reading the first few chapters. Disguised as a ridiculously simple lifestyle change, this is a major medical breakthrough.

Like an overwatered houseplant, the brain can suffocate if it's constantly bathed in too much blood and lymph. The connection to Alzheimer's disease and strokes is powerfully suggestive (but will take many years to prove conclusively.)

I'm not going to wait and see. I've been sleeping with my head elevated for a few weeks now and I'm delighted with the results. No more headaches in the morning! I used to get them often and they would last all day.

And when I take a nap now, the transition back to wakefulness is smooth and serene - unlike the sudden shock it used to be. Friends I've suggested this to have had similar results.

Finally, I'd like to commend the authors for their honesty in confronting the medical establishment. Many doctors have known for a long time about the benefits of head elevation to reduce brain edema, but there's no profit in teaching patients how to heal themselves. Simple remedies like this one could put many unscrupulous physicians out of business.

This discovery, combined with the one the authors have made linking bras to breast cancer, make them (at least in my mind) worthy of the Nobel Prize.

Funny Title - Serious Book.......2002-01-03

I read this book in connection with my sleep apnea, but also had in mind as I read a friend with migranes. The basic premise is that migranes may be caused by increased pressure in the head that is due to sleeping position (level or single pillow) and that it may be remediable by sleeping with an 8" - 12" wedge under the head-side of the bed. Sounds simple and perhaps too simple but the authors do a good job of explaining their position and showing their rationale, and they also cite a small study they have done that showed very positive results. For persons suffering from migranes that are not well-treated by conventional means, I would certainly recommend this book. The treatment approach is simple and inexpensive, and will not cause any harm if ineffective; if I had migranes I would certainly try it, and I will mention the book to my friend.
