Book Description

A man in Pittsburgh, nicknamed “Shark,” turned from drug dealer to a confidential mercenary drug informant for the Attorney General's drug task force of Pennsylvania. From a young boy of four or five years old, Shark had hung out with his grandfather and father learning the bar scenes and street life. While growing up, he witnessed them booking numbers, selling booze and acquiring cash. Later, Shark became involved with a circle of bad guys supplying cocaine to the entire city of Pittsburgh. He helped them supply the cocaine until his family pulled together an intervention. But, the intervention didn't go quite normally, and a payment for Shark's services was offered. He got paid for every cocaine buy whether he was present at the scene or not. Many attempted hits on Shark failed because of Shark's brother-in-law, Big John, and Shark's father, the Baker. Big John, 6'7” and an undefeated boxer, tore apart everybody who came after Shark, and the Baker used his police friends and the Larimer Avenue mob to divert Shark from the legal system.

Used to be a friend.......2005-06-13

I grew up with Anthony (The Author) I don't want to bash him, but his book was pure fiction. He glamorized a seedy life of petty deals and betrayal. He was always so greedy and shady and this book just confirms his true self. He acted tough until he was confronted by some real hard asses. I just have to remind him (if he reads this) of the time when Chris S. took Anthony's car over some coke and I had to go and retrive it because Anthony was too afraid. I did like him at one time, but I regret any association. A Rat is a Rat.

A snitch is a snitch.......2005-05-17

I think this was the worst book I ever read.It isn't "true cime" but FICTION.This person cannot really exist.He betrayed his family,his friends and everyone he came in contact with.After reading this book I would never want to be associated with this man.He is someone a person could never trust.As he proved throughout the entire book.I feel sorry for "Desi" if she really existed ,which I doubt. No one is that stupid to get involved with a lying snitch like that.If he does exist he will one day get what he truly deserves. I'm sorry I wasted the $20.00 to buy this book.

Shark, The Baker's Son was one of the mosr truest stories about Pittsburgh Pennsylvania that I've ever read. The book showed, to me, that a person can make so much money legally or illegally, and that same person can hit rock bottom and lose all their money because of drugs. The cars, the jewerlry and the being able to go and to do whatever you want whenever you want is nice, but it never last. I loved the writing prescriptions part of the book. Whoever can think of something like that and to make it actually happen, vigorously can accomplish anything because that seems almost impossible to do. The Corpus Christi connections with the Mexican Marijuana showed me that wherever somebody goes, they can find drugs and in mass quantities. The intervention part of the book showed me How the drugs not only affect the person, but they also affect the addict whole family. I hope that this author writes another novel and focuses on the recovery side of drug usage; however, with the title of this book, and, moreover, the sub-title, seems like the author wanted to focus this book on confidential drug informants. Although, I read signs of recovery in this story, and I hope the author decides to write a book on recovery from addiction.

Great story.......2005-02-27

I saw this book on the Internet and i had to `ave it. I like to read true stories about the American criminals da get arrested because they all think they are John Wayne. I had to buy the book from an online bookstore, but it was worth the few extra pounds to `ave it shipped to me. Shark got arrested but didn't spend any time locked up, but he helped to lock other criminals up; i was so made up over that. Because shark knew police, he got quite a bit of passes in his lifetime. The chapter 'Getting paid to buy cocaine' also made me up, but it's hard to beleive. But I did find out how da went off so well by the way the author wrote about it. Also, I enjoyed all the places da shark travelled to. The author dsribed the places over the pond very well. I'd like ta see those American islands da Shark went on holiday to. Hopefully Mr. Aliberti will write another book.

An enjoyable book.......2005-02-26

Shark, The Baker's son is a great novel. I've never heard of the author, but he wrote the book in an odd way; I thought. Some chapters were very short, if they are called chapters because they appeared to me as title descriptions, or scenes, for the page or pages that follow. However, the story kept a steady and interesting pace. I like to read real sories, things that actually happened in this world; instead of ficticious stories that authors make up, and Shark, the baker's son was just that; a real story. Although the intervention scene, the revenge on Donny scene and some of the romantic or sex scenes didn't quite seem true to me, but I never lived a life of crime or drugs and I don't read romance; therefore, those scenes probably are true. I've read other true crime and mafia books, and Shark, the baker's son fits right in; just on a much smaller scale and in a smaller city. I now know things about crime and policing in Pittsburgh, PA, for the plot of the story tells and shows all the things in Pittsburgh that I never knew before. For instance, I now know the real reason that the bar in Swissvaille, which the author wrote about in the book under an anonymous name, got shut down. I showed the book to a fellow worker of mine, and he read the bak cover and ordered a copy of the book right then and there on-line on my computer. The ways in which Shark was diverted from authorities and the ways in which Shark avoided attempted killings quickly grabbed his attention because he likes to read about those things. If you like to read real stories, this book is one to read.

Knit 2 Together: Patterns and Stories for Serious Knitting Fun

ASIN: 1931499748

Book Description

These knitted and crocheted fashion accessories and decorative accents for the home vary in their required levels of skill, but all can be completed quickly and require only one skein of yarn. The stitch patterns and clear instructions make it easy for even procrastinators and the less-than-diligent to create a ruffled cravat, a drawstring bag, a tank top, cozy scarves, arm and leg warmers, lace wristlets, fingerless gloves, a mohair pillow, and even a sweater for a baby. Several projects do not require any new yarn at all—instead projects such as the Felted Striped Tote or the Labyrinth Circle Rug are designed using up a skein's worth of leftovers from other projects. A guide to terms and techniques, a resource directory, and a bibliography are also included.

Cute and Quick.......2007-09-23

A fun selection of items that are great for using up an odd skein or taking along for a short trip. Instructions are clear and the projects can be made in a few hours to over a weekend. Several hats, baby items, scarves, gloves, purses, etc...a nice, varied collection of patterns for both knitting and crochet.

I'm an intermediate-level knitter with more ideas than time. I found the projects in this book to be just right (i.e., they're easy to complete).

A waste of good money.......2007-09-07

This book was a terrible disappointment. I was hoping for better designs that would be little more appropriate for me. I am 60 years old and I don't see me wearing leg warmers or fingerless gloves. What a big waste of money!

Nothing special.......2007-08-16

I've had this a while, and drag it out every now and again. It's a very pretty book, but a bit of a waste of precious shelf space. There's very little crochet, notwithstanding the title. And most of the patterns are for hats, gloves, scarves - the most obvious contenders for single skeins. I'm not crazy over the skimpy little scarves. And some patterns are ridiculous. Like the cupcakes. What on earth is one supposed to do with knitted cupcakes? If anyone had to gift me with something like that, I would be put off them for life. Useless little dust collectors.... The one skein tank is another joke - it takes a skein of laceweight with thousands of yards of yarn. Hello? If I buy a skein of laceweight, I don't need a stash busting book - it's enough for a shawl.

Anyway, if you are still a bit of a beginner, this might be useful. If you have a few knitting books, know how to surf the net, and have half an ounce of imagination, you don't need this book.

Revitalized.......2007-08-13

Yeah!! The projects in this book revitalized my love of and excitement about my crochet. I had been in a baby blanket slump, but not anymore! I am looking forward to bettering my knitting skills so I can tackle some of those projects.

Never bored me, you'll love it!.......2007-07-12

What a great way to try felting, among several skills found in the cute patterns in this book. I'm an accomplished knitter, and found them easy, but interesting to complete. I was never bored, and that says it all. I was even inspired to try crochet, which I really don't care for.

classic.......2007-08-12

This is the classic starter book in child rearing. The one or two religious comments that the author makes, are negligible. What makes the book a must is the unsurpassed simplicity of advice based on common-sense, enormous real-life experience, and wisdom. Read this first, then Dr. James Jones. Both are a must if you want healthy kids.

A Scholar's Work.......2003-06-05

This biography is written in an economical and polished prose. The skill of which is emphasized by meticulous editing and organization. The end result is a subtle, compassionate yet realistic examination of his life. The book is not written for his cult following or for ideological affirmation.

It presents a thorough account of Tone's life. The account examines his actions and decisions not only in the context of his personal traits and character but expands the analysis to reflect the effects on Tone of the political turbulence of 18th century Ireland and the impact of the French Revolution.

One of the strongest attractions of Tone's story is the contrast between his social status at the beginning of his adult life with his status when he died.

Tone was a graduate of Trinity College and studied law at the Middle Temple in London for two years. He then became a barrister in Dublin. His personal history reveals that he is a member of Dublin's social and political elite. Arguably he was a member of the Protestant Ascendancy. The author points out that Tone always retained a very Protestant and elitist perception of the Irish Masses thinking them to be vulgar and prone to deceit. This was tempered by a sincere compassion for the poor and a strong sense of honor.Tone believed that many problems in Ireland were caused by the religious divisions of his countrymen.These divisions in his estimation perpetuated British rule and stagnated Ireland's development.

From this beginning he became a formidable pamphleteer, reformer and advocate for Cathoilic rights, and ultimately an armed revolutionary opponent of English rule in Ireland. This zeal led him into military service as an officer in the French Army with a command in an aborted armed invasion to liberate Ireland.

The author presents several insights into Tone's complex and unique character. She notes that Tone was restless and single-minded, yet argues that this quality of single-mindedness could just as easily have propelled him in one direction as another.

Tone is described by acquaintances, friends, and even enemies as personable and charming.This is reflected in the statement of Captain Elias Thackeray of the Cambridgeshire Militia. Thackeray had the duty to escort Tone from prison in Derry to his trial in Dublin. He recalled Tone as '... the most delightful companion he ever traveled with.'

The value of Elliot's account of events is enhanced by her use of contemporaneous letters written by those most closely involved in the events. The Author's study is perhaps more detailed, erudite and insightful than is generally demanded. She notes that every political grouping accepts Tone's reputation as the 'father' of Irish republican nationalism but each takes from his tradition only what is needed to sustain its own stance.
