Description:
A best management practice (BMP) for exporting manure phosphorus (P) in turfgrass sod from the North Bosque River (NBR) watershed in central Texas was assessed using a geographic information system (GIS). The NBR watershed has a mandate to reduce the total annual P load to the NBR by 50% as a result of total maximum daily load regulation. Since dairy waste applications to fields are identified as the major nonpoint source of P to the river, innovative BMPs, such as export of manure P in turfgrass, will be needed to achieve the 50% reduction. However, methods are needed to evaluate the feasibility of these innovative management practices prior to their implementation. A geospatial database of suitable turfgrass production sites was developed for Erath County using GIS. Erath County largely encompasses the upper portion of the NBR watershed. Information from field experiments, production practices, and ground-truthing was used to search, analyze, and verify a geospatial database developed from national and regional sources. The integration and analyses of large databases supports the search by turf producers for sites suitable for turfgrass sod production in Erath County. In addition, GIS enables researchers and regulators to estimate manure P exports and reduced P loading due to implementation of the manure export BMP on a county scale. Under optimal conditions 198,000kg manure P yr^-^1 could be used and 114,840kg manure P yr^-^1 exported from the NBR watershed through implementation of a system using dairy manure to produce turfgrass sod. This is the equivalent of the manure P applied from 10,032 dairy cows yr^-^1 and exported from 5808 dairy cows yr^-^1. Application of GIS to large-scale planning and decision-making transcends traditional field-scale applications in precision agriculture.

Award-winning travel writers Shirley Slater and Harry Basch had tried just about every mode of transportation known to humans in their travels through 186 countries, but it wasn't until they drove an RV in 1991 that they found their passion. In the decade that followed they racked up 120,000 miles, avoided freeways whenever possible, and focused on discovering the offbeat and the best of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. While Exploring America by RV is aimed particularly at novices--with detailed advice on buying and renting RVs as well as RV'ing tips and hints on such things as what to look for in campsites, the miracle of bubble wrap, and "how to give backing-up directions without destroying your marriage"--it also outlines 10 excursions through the U.S., Canada, and Baja with enough unusual stops along the way that the book is a veritable gold mine. To get an idea of the sort of travel Slater and Basch prefer, here are some of the highlights of the California Desert & Las Vegas excursion: the Hullabaloo World Tobacco Spitting Championships, endangered desert pupfishes in Anza-Borrego State Park, and sand sailing in a dry lake at 70 mph with no brakes. Off-the-wall attractions in Alaska include the world's largest chopstick manufacturing plant, a collection of 3,600 billed caps, and the town of North Pole (where Santa gets his mail). Slater and Basch are fond of lists with names like: Ten Terrific Spots Where History Comes Alive (in the Blue Ridge Mountains); Ten Terribly Texas Things To Do; and Seven Swell Side Roads to Explore (in Baja). For each trip you'll find tips for keeping costs down, as well as suggestions for splurging (say, a helicopter ride around Mt. Rushmore or a stay on little Palm Island), a list of campground oases, and where to find some incredible-sounding treats (like bumbleberry pie at Zion National Park and the best lobster in Maine). Slater and Basch have had a good time demolishing the myth of RV'ers as national park lemmings who never leave their rigs: these guys know where the fun is. --Lesley Reed

Misnomer.......2006-04-16
It's a lie - This book does NOT cover America. It covers 7 areas the include parts of a dozen states. It does not cover the Northwest, Arizona, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Southern states, or Florida north of Miami.
I found the book useless for my needs. I should have read the other reviews here on Amazon.com, but for some reason I missed doing that. Oh well, live & learn.
Identical book to RV Vacations for Dummies.......2005-05-26
FYI: This book and the
RV Vacations for Dummies are identical books.
If you want detailed trips in the U.S., this is a good book........2001-11-22
The book opens with a couple of good chapters on the basics of RB'ing and gives an excellent diary of their first trip which made me feel better. However, chapters 4 through 13 are detailed examples of trips in the U.S. which i will not be takin any time soon. Chp 14-16 review RV types and manufacturers.
a lot of wasted ink.......2001-08-05
The book wastes a lot of ink describing tourists sites in well-trodden parts of the US, ink that could have been spent carefully reviewing campgrounds.
Frommers Exploring America by RV.......2001-07-04
I found this book to be trite and very limited in scope. Perhaps someone who has never gone rving before might enjoy it. Some of the mishaps of the authors were almost impossible to believe considering they are both educated people. Very disappointing.

"The Evidence Is Absolutely Overwhelming That He {Lee Oswald} Carried Out The Tragic Shooting All By Himself" -- Vince Bugliosi.......2006-11-01
LET'S PRETEND FOR JUST A MOMENT OR TWO...........
It's the year 1964, and Lee Harvey Oswald (the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy), instead of being shot and killed by Jack Ruby on November 24, 1963, is sitting in a courtroom, as his murder trial draws to a close.
The lead prosecuting attorney, attempting to convince the jury of Oswald's sole guilt in the murders of both JFK and Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit, is Vincent T. Bugliosi.
Here's a portion of what just might have been part of Vincent's Closing Arguments to that jury in 1964.
Let's listen in (just for fun).......
=========================================
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury....the defense lawyers in this case have argued to you that a massive conspiracy took place on Friday, November 22nd, 1963, the day when President John F. Kennedy was brutally cut down by a sniper's bullets in Dallas, Texas.
The defense has placed on the table the totally-unsupportable theory that someone "planted" that bullet (Warren Commission Exhibit #399) on a Parkland Hospital stretcher, as part of a devious plot to frame this man -- Lee Harvey Oswald -- for President Kennedy's murder.
But, folks, think about the "logic" of doing such a thing at the point in time when these defense attorneys are insisting it actually did occur. Let's examine that type of "logic" for a moment......
There is no way on this Earth, ladies and gentlemen, that any "Patsy-Framing" conspirators are going to risk the whole ballgame by wanting to plant that bullet on a hospital stretcher before 2:00 PM on November the 22nd, 1963....a point in time which could very well have been SUICIDE for those same so-called conspirators!
Why could it possibly have been a suicidal act? Because that bullet, after having been found by Parkland employee Darrell Tomlinson and after also having been seen and handled by O.P. Wright, was handed over (by Wright) to Secret Service agent Richard Johnsen at approximately 1:55 PM (CST) on November 22nd.
Which means that if it had been "planted" on or near Governor John Connally's stretcher (as Mr. Oswald's team of defense attorneys is implying), it must have been planted there prior to 1:55 PM on the day of the President's assassination -- which was a time when Governor Connally was still in the operating room at Parkland undergoing life-saving surgery.
Which also has to mean that at such a time, no evil bullet-planting "conspirators" could have possibly had full knowledge of exactly where ALL of the "real" bullets that hit the victims were located.
For, how could these ace plotters have possibly known at 1:55 PM (or thereabouts) that Bullet CE399 would even be a bullet that could be worked into the official record of this murder case?!
Or did this band of wretched plotters and assassination-planning henchmen simply say to themselves the following (in the days leading up to November 22nd)? ----
Oh, what the hell, guys....everything is going to be taken care of by the dutiful and ever-efficient Government cover-up agents later on anyway....so we'll just go ahead and plant this possibly-extra bullet in the hospital and just throw up our collective patsy-creating hands and hope that everything comes out okay in the long run.
Is that what these defense lawyers want you good folks of this jury to swallow -- hook, line, and planted bullet?!!
You can see how silly and utterly preposterous so much of this kind of "evidence-planting" talk really is by simply applying just a small dose of common sense and logic to the allegations being made by these defense attorneys -- attorneys who, it would seem, have never met a conspiracy theory they didn't immediately accept with a broad smile and wide-open arms.
But, it's not that easy, folks. Not by a long shot is it that easy. Picking assorted unsupportable conspiracy theories out of a hat just isn't gonna cut it! And with your verdict of "Guilty" at this trial, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to be telling this Scheme Team of lawyers that it's simply NOT THAT EASY!
Plus, let me add this regarding bullet CE399 -- Why would any so-called "conspirators" even WANT to plant that bullet in Parkland Hospital in the first place? There was ALREADY Oswald-incriminating bullet evidence in the limousine that ties the so-called "Patsy" to the crime!
And not only do we have those two front-seat bullet fragments from Oswald's very own rifle to tie this defendant to the President's murder....but there is also a veritable Mount Everest of additional Oswald-implicating evidence elsewhere in Dealey Plaza as well -- such as those three spent cartridge cases found in the Texas School Book Depository. Cartridge cases which we KNOW came from Lee Oswald's Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle TO THE EXCLUSION OF EVERY OTHER WEAPON EVER MADE!!
And those three bullet cartridge cases were found directly underneath the sniper's window in the southeast corner on the Book Depository's sixth floor! And that just happens to be the EXACT window from where this defendant -- Lee Harvey Oswald -- was physically seen by an eyewitness aiming a rifle at the President's car!
Other witnesses testified that they saw a man who looked generally like Mr. Oswald in that very same sniper's window just minutes (perhaps even seconds) before the three shots rang out in Dealey Plaza that day.
And there is also that brown paper bag....which was ALSO found in the Sniper's Nest. And it's a paper bag that just happens to have two of Lee Harvey Oswald's prints on it -- a fingerprint, plus what amounts to an extremely-incriminating RIGHT PALMPRINT at the bottom (or closed end) of that bag.
That palmprint is devastating physical evidence of Mr. Oswald guilt -- because it's a print that perfectly aligns with the testimony of witness Buell Wesley Frazier. You remember that nice young man, don't you ladies and gentlemen? He was Oswald's 19-year-old co-worker at the Book Depository who gave Lee Harvey a ride to work on the morning of the assassination, remember?
And remember what Mr. Frazier testified to with regards to a certain brown paper package that Oswald had with him that morning (a bag that the defendant said contained "curtain rods")?
Mr. Frazier said that Oswald carried the bag "cupped" in his right hand, so that the weight of whatever was in that bag would be pressing down against Oswald's right hand.
And, lo and behold, on the sixth floor, in the same sniper's area with the bullet shells and Oswald's other prints, what was found by police? --- Yes indeed....an empty brown paper bag with Lee Oswald's RIGHT PALMPRINT on the closed end of the bag!
Just an innocent coincidence of some kind, ladies and gentlemen? Nonsense! It's as obvious as the nose on Jimmy Durante's face that the empty bag found by police after the assassination is the very same bag that Wesley Frazier saw Oswald carry into the Book Depository Building on November 22nd. How could it BE any more obvious?!
And if anyone thinks for a single second (as the defense has suggested) that the empty paper sack was "created" and then "planted" by the Dallas Police Department (due to the fact that no photograph exists in the official record of the paper bag within the Sniper's Nest) -- they'd better think twice about that absurd allegation.
Because if that bag had been "manufactured" by the police, how on this Earth did the cops manage that perfect "Oswald palmprint" fakery? How did they manage, in fairly short order, to produce a bag that ALSO happened to have Lee Oswald's prints on it? And a certain palmprint that perfectly MATCHES the testimony of how Wesley Frazier said Oswald carried the bag in his right "cupped" hand?
How was such a beautifully-coordinated piece of deception carried out? How COULD it have been? Was Mr. Frazier lying about the "cupped right hand" business? I'm doubting the defense would claim Frazier is a liar....because they used his testimony at this trial to attempt to bolster their own defense case with respect to the "under the armpit" testimony, remember? So, was Mr. Frazier supposedly telling lies one minute; and then telling the truth the next?
But Frazier told you folks during the prosecution's re-direct examination of him that the bag might very well have been protruding out in front of Oswald's body and Mr. Frazier would not have been able to see such a protrusion, due to Oswald having his back to Frazier during the entire lengthy walk toward the back entrance of the Book Depository. Mr. Frazier admitted that to this jury right here in open court!
So, as anyone with just one bad eye can easily see, the police did not, and furthermore (given the evidence in this case), COULD NOT have "faked" and "planted" that brown paper bag in the Book Depository on the day of the President's death. That theory is preposterous on EVERY level -- and everybody knows it!
Getting back to the REAL evidence once again.....
There is also, of course, the biggest piece of evidence of them all -- Oswald's own Mannlicher-Carcano rifle....the very weapon conclusively proven to have been the gun that fired the two bullets which struck President Kennedy....and the very same rifle that was found by the police just fifty-two minutes after the assassination. And WHERE was it found? --- It was found on that very same sixth floor of the Book Depository Building, ladies and gentlemen -- that's where!
And that rifle, which was found behind some boxes near the stairs on the sixth floor, was conclusively proven to be the rifle owned by the defendant in this case -- a Mr. Lee Harvey Oswald.
He didn't use the name "Oswald" to purchase the rifle....no, no. Instead, he used the fake name -- "A. Hidell" -- to order the rifle by mail-order, in March of 1963, from Klein's Sporting Goods....a company in Chicago, Illinois.
But the testimony of handwriting experts at this trial confirm -- without a shred of a doubt, ladies and gentlemen -- that the Klein's order form for rifle number C2766 was filled out in Lee Harvey Oswald's very own handwriting. So we KNOW that it was Oswald himself who ordered the weapon that murdered President Kennedy.
And we also know, without any doubt whatsoever, that that 6.5-millimeter Mannlicher-Carcano rifle was shipped by Klein's to P.O. Box number 2915 in Dallas, Texas, USA. And WHO was the person who used that exact post-office box as a mailing address? You guessed it -- it was Lee Harvey Oswald who used that box to receive mail. That's who.
And we also know, without a doubt, that the serial number that is stamped on Oswald's rifle -- the number "C2766" -- was determined by the Warren Commission to be a unique serial number....that is to say, it was unique to this one particular rifle that was shipped to Lee Oswald in March 1963. In other words, there were not two separate weapons that possessed this same C2766 serial number, as the defense has suggested at this trial.
Therefore -- as we now get back to talking about the ridiculous allegations of evidence-planting in this case -- why would any conspirators want to risk planting additional, possibly-needless bullets in the hospital when there's so much other stuff elsewhere that shows Oswald to be a guilty assassin?
Or would the defense like to now purport that the two large bullet fragments found in the front seat of JFK's limousine were ALSO "planted" there by these unknown/unseen/unidentified "evidence manipulators"? Or that those shells found up on the sixth floor were also "planted"? And was Lee's rifle ALSO "planted" on that same sixth floor too?
And were the defendant's fingerprints also "planted" on those boxes that JUST HAPPENED to be boxes that were found deep within the Sniper's Nest on November 22nd?
And I'm not talking about just the outer Sniper's-Nest boxes that served to shield the assassin from view. No. I'm talking about Lee Harvey Oswald's fingerprint and palmprints being found on two boxes that were INSIDE that Sniper's Perch -- with Lee's palmprint being discovered on the box that the killer almost certainly used as a chair, to sit on, as he waited for his Presidential prey to round the corner of Elm and Houston Streets on that fateful Friday afternoon in 1963.
And there were two of Oswald's prints located on one of the boxes that almost certainly was positioned by the gunman to serve as a potential "rifle rest" as he aimed his weapon toward the southwest, looking toward the Triple Underpass in Dealey Plaza.
The positioning of those boxes in that window, ladies and gentlemen, also tends to answer another of the conspiracy theorists' favorite questions -- the question of why Oswald didn't take the "best shot", per the theorists, while the President's car was on Houston Street.
In addition to the fact that by waiting until both JFK's car and the Secret Service follow-up vehicle had turned the corner onto Elm Street (thereby making sure that the majority of the "firepower" in the Plaza, possessed by the Secret Service agents, all had their BACKS to the assassin) -- there's also that pre-arranging of book cartons in the sniper's window.
The cartons were placed in the window in such a way that we can pretty much KNOW that the killer (Mr. Oswald) had every intention from the GET-GO of only firing shots at the President AFTER the limousine had turned onto Elm Street.
And I think it's fairly logical to assume that those book cartons were PRE-positioned in such a "Rifle Will Always Point West" fashion prior to the motorcade ever coming into Oswald's line of sight. For, Oswald surely didn't want to have to deal with arranging his rifle rest AFTER the President's car had already come into view, when seconds were precious to him. Did he? Of course not, ladies and gentlemen. That's a silly notion on its face.
So, was ALL of this other stuff I've been talking about "planted" by some group of tireless, unidentified conspirators too (as the defense seems to believe)? Or, perhaps as an alternative theory, the defense thinks that it was merely a miraculous "coincidence" that Lee Harvey Oswald's relatively-FRESH fingerprints, in the course of his everyday Book Depository duties, just HAPPENED to show up on the VERY BOXES that certainly must have been utilized by the killer of President Kennedy?! His FRESH prints remember!
Or maybe the defense should go one rung higher on the "planting" ladder and contend that Oswald's prints were planted on the boxes in the Sniper's Nest too.
In addition -- Does the defense also want to claim that all of the evidence showing Oswald to be guilty of killing Officer Tippit was somehow "planted" as well? Including the more than ONE DOZEN WITNESSES who identified Lee Oswald as either the one lone murderer of J.D. Tippit, or who saw Oswald running away from the scene of that crime, gun in hand?!
Just exactly how far off the deep end of this "Evidence-Planting" pool do these defense lawyers think they can lead you folks here on the jury?! How far??!! The notion that all of this Oswald-incriminating evidence was magically "planted" there by evil conspirators is utter nonsense! And it always has been nonsense!
The defense uses that convenient word "planted" only because there is nothing else TO argue to the members of this jury! They have no other choice BUT to argue the evidence was "planted", "faked", "manipulated", or otherwise "tampered with" in some fashion. Because, let's face facts, if all of this stuff WASN'T planted or monkeyed-around with -- then Lee Harvey Oswald is as guilty as Hitler....and even these defense lawyers must surely realize that basic of all facts.
The defense allegations of evidence-planting and police misconduct and of how everybody under the sun covered-up the truth of the Kennedy assassination are classic signs of a very weak, anemic case on the part of Oswald's defense Scheme Team of attorneys!
It's merely a smokescreen that's being utilized by this "Anybody But Oswald" defense team in an attempt to confuse this jury, and is an attempt to muddy the nature of the true evidence in this case. And it's simply nonsense of the first order!
For, surely you realize, ladies and gentlemen, that if that team of brilliant minds over there at that defense counsel table had even ONE piece of solid, physical evidence to back up their claims of a multi-gun conspiracy in this case, everyone here in this courtroom would have seen it! Can there be any DOUBT of that fact, ladies and gentlemen?!!
But the defense has produced nothing in the way of ballistics evidence in this case to back up the notion that any guns other than Oswald's guns were being fired at anyone in Dealey Plaza or on Tenth Street in Oak Cliff (where Police Officer J.D. Tippit was killed) on November the 22nd, 1963.
And the defense has failed (miserably) in their attempts to provide, in general, any substantial physical evidence whatsoever in this case to show that other killers were involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, or in the savage second murder so obviously committed by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22nd -- that being the slaying of Dallas Police Patrolman J.D. Tippit.
As you men and women of the jury begin to deliberate and to consider the evidence presented at this trial, please ask yourself this one very important question --- Has the defense come even remotely close to PROVING that ANY of the evidence presented by the prosecution in this case -- evidence which unquestionably shows Lee Harvey Oswald to be a double-murderer -- has been faked in any way whatsoever?!
The undeniable answer to the above inquiry, ladies and gentlemen, is a resounding and reverberating "No". No -- they have not! There has not been one speck of proof presented at this trial to back up the defense's allegations of evidence-tampering surrounding John F. Kennedy's murder!
The bullet evidence in this case leads in only one single direction -- and it's not toward multiple shooters firing from a number of directions in Dealey Plaza. It leads, instead, to one man's Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, #C2766, which just happened to be found in the very same building where the gun's owner was located when John F. Kennedy was being shot and killed one Friday afternoon in late nineteen sixty-three!!
And if there HAD been a multi-gun conspiracy afoot on that autumn day in '63 -- ask yourself this additional logical question, ladies and gentlemen --- WHERE ARE THE OTHER BULLETS?? WHERE ARE ALL OF THOSE "OTHER" BULLETS FROM ALL OF THOSE "OTHER" GUNS THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY USED TO SHOOT PRESIDENT KENNEDY?? WHERE???
The answer is -- None exist. No other bullets, fragments, or cartridge cases exist except those that either conclusively came from Lee Harvey Oswald's Carcano rifle, or were consistent with having come from that very rifle! Why is this? And HOW can this be if several different shooters took aim at JFK's body on November 22nd??! Were all of these "other" killers aiming at the sky?! Or at each other, instead of the intended target of John F. Kennedy?! It makes no sense, ladies and gentlemen!
But what DOES make the most sense is this: Lee Harvey Oswald, by himself, with his own gun, murdered President Kennedy. Oswald then slipped out of the Book Depository Building after being detained briefly by police officer Marrion Baker on the 2nd Floor. Oswald then proceeded to kill a policeman in Oak Cliff while in desperate flight from the murder he had just committed less than one hour earlier in Dealey Plaza!
The evidence isn't lying to you, ladies and gentlemen. It's the rabid conspiracy theorists like these unscrupulous defense attorneys who have been spoon-feeding you lies, half-truths, and distortions ever since these two murders were committed by Lee Oswald in 1963.
But regardless of what Mr. Conspiracy over there at the defense table wants you to believe -- the evidence surrounding this case is rock-solid. And that evidence is telling any reasonable person that the man sitting over there across the room from you -- Lee Harvey Oswald -- is guilty as sin of murdering two human beings in the fall of 1963!
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury......
John Fitzgerald Kennedy....only 46 years of age when he was killed....born in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29th in the year 1917....the 35th President of these United States....
And:
J.D. Tippit....39-year-old police officer....born in Texas on September 18th, 1924....an 11-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department when his life was so abruptly ended via four gunshot wounds on November 22nd, 1963....
Those two men are not with us here in this courtroom today -- BUT FROM THEIR GRAVES....THEY CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE!
And justice can only be served by your coming back into this courtroom with a verdict of guilty.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. *

Bad info about the breed.......2006-01-26
As the other reviewer said, the book have some wrong informations about raising a pet dog (like feeding table scraps). After reading things like that I'm really afraid of taking the info in this book in consideration, to care for my dog. The author seens to be more of a show dog owner, and puts that into the book, but since I know nothing about the subject, can't really tell if it would be good for someone thinking about show dogs.
Not a first choice.......2003-01-04
I picked up this book at a local pet shop, because my husband and I are seriously considering buying a Pug. We already had one other book on the subject, but wanted to supplement it with more in-depth information on Pug care.
After flipping through just a few pages of "A New Owner's Guide to Pugs," however, I decided to return this book and get my money back. Not only was there a lot of misinformation throughout (such as the statement that pugs do not have a double-coat, or that you should use a choke-chain to train a Pug -- wrong!), but at least a third of the book is comprised of information about the Pug "Standard," which is not very useful for those of us who are mainly interested in buying and caring for a pet-quality Pug.
There are not a large number of books in print on caring for this particular breed, but if you want a basic overview of what to look for and and what to expect once you buy or adopt a Pug of your own, I'd recommend "Pugs: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)" by Phil Maggitti as an excellent starting place.

The Well-Decorated Garden is a do-it-yourself guide to making gewgaws for your garden. It's an ideal book for the gardener who has finished all the basic work and now wants to put some flourishes in place, signatures of the self in the blooming landscape. Reminiscent of Martha Stewart's crafty style, The Well-Decorated Garden takes readers step by step through various projects: building a "faux granite garden planter," pebble-covered flowerpots, butterfly boxes, tile plant markers, ladybug cottages. Highlights include a "sign bird feeder," made out of road signs and license plates, and a variety of elaborate outdoor torches. Projects range from simple, hour-long endeavors (a wire candle holder) to major construction projects that might take all summer to finish (a locust log arbor, for instance). The author draws on ideas from a variety of designers, with a wide range of styles and tastes. The Well-Decorated Garden is a good resource for the highly committed and resourceful gardener, the proud artiste who wants guests to "ooh" and "aah" as they discover the landscape's various handmade charms. --Emily White

Book Description
It was an irrational decision. Despite having just moved into a beautiful new house, the Williams family gave in to an odd, overwhelming desire to purchase and move into a Victorian home they had come upon by chance. They were curious, of course, as to why the house had, in the past, had such a high vacancy rate - no one ever seemed to live in it for a long period of time. But that curiosity didn't last long, because shortly after moving in, strange things began to happen. It became abundantly clear that the home's past owners had all had a reason for leaving: fear. The Williams' new home was haunted. At first, the family tried telling themselves there were logical explanations for the strange things they all were witnessing. But before long they came to accept the fact that they were sharing their home with ghosts. Haunted is the Williams family's story from the point of view of the mother, Dorah. Through her chilling reminiscences, we witness the all-too-real goings-on in the house. And we join the family as they seek a way to bring an end to the paranormal events that were occurring with ever more frequency and intensity, and learn why the events began in the first place.

Very good Read! .......2007-09-16
I loved this book! It was a full, flowing story, with an engaging plot. The only thing that was negative is the way the author described her feelings towards her impending divorce. It sounded to me as if she was trying to hard to elict sympathy from the reader. EVERYONE KNOWS DIVORCE IS UGLY, SAD, AND DEVASTATING. It took away from the book, and almost made me wonder if all of the bad chi was making the paranormal events happen. That was the only thing negative. The story in itself was gripping, interesting, and believeable to me. I think that it is facsinating that she is still living in the house! I went through the book in one day, since it flowed very easily. In fact, that is what sold me on the book in the first place, since I decided to "take a look inside" via amazon. I loved this book. Worth purchasing!!
A KEEPER!.......2007-09-07
YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP THIS ACCOUNT OF THE PARANORMAL---IT IS WELL WRITTEN AND BRINGS YOU INTO THE HOME AND LIVES OF THE FAMILY- A BRAVE FAMILY!
Good n Scarry........2007-03-01
If you're like me and can't seem to get enough of the paranormal then you might as well add this one to your list. It was a great fast read (one night for a fast reader) but really kept my attention. I'm not really a "read in one night" type of person but this stuff really interests me and read really fluently.
HAUNTED.......2006-11-03
I ENJOYED THE WAY SHE GOT TO THE POINT WITH THE STOREY. SHE WAS ALSO VERY DETAILED WITH EVENTS AND FINDINGS.I ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK AND WILL RECOMEND IT TO OTHERS.
A good true ghost story.......2006-07-28
If you have read many books about true ghost stories, you will find that few of them are very exciting, and this one will definitely not keep you on the edge of your seat. To really be interested in a book like this, you need to be interested in the actual experience of living in a haunted house and not in being scared by supernatural events as you would be with a novel. Books like these are written by novice writers, so the style is not all that good either.
With those things aside, I liked this book very much because it was written by the people who experienced it, which is what I am interested in. I am not interested in reading academic explanations or speculations of supernatural happenings or folklore from long ago. I want to read about the experiences of people who have lived in haunted houses or have had encounters with the supernatural, and this book delivers just that.
One reviewer here wrote that he was not convinced the that the hole thing was not made up. This is one problem that you may encounter with books on true hauntings. I have read many of these books over the years and I am sure that I could sit down and write a fictional account about a true haunting that would fool the vast majority of its readers. The reason for this is that real hauntings usually involve low key events, that can be scary from time to time or disruptive to family life, but that generally follow similar patterns. It starts with hearing strange sounds at night, usually foot steps or the sound of doors opening and closing or furniture being moved. It can progress to further stages, like the feeling of being watched, seeing ghosts or apparitions or noticing that some of your possessions are out of place or missing. Or the mysterious sounds can simply vanish, leaving no trace that anything was ever out of the ordinary. Most people who have experienced real hauntings never find out why their house is haunted and some never even realize that it is or was haunted. Generally, there are no neatly wrapped up endings or story lines in true ghost stories that would help sell books. Usually, the haunting just stops and the people go on with their lives.
If reading about the first hand experiences of people who have lived in a haunted house interests you, then you will enjoy this book.

Courage and Country.......2004-03-28
This book gives a good overview of the life of a very successful immigrant who has disappeared into the pages of history. It also provides a historical perspective of the US during James Shields life with some different information on the early days of Abraham Lincoln's political career. An easy way to remind yourself of history you may have forgotten.
