Book Description
This short story describes a move to a new state that was a life-changing event. It also describes some of the great adventures I had on a western ranch that was over 26,000 acres in size. The book also describes some of my experiences while serving on a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. It documents some of the perils of being out to sea and visiting foreign ports of call.It also takes a look into the past and offers a perspective of the growing tensions in the middle east and ponders the thought whether we would really be concerned about the area if they didn't have vast oil reserves.It is a story about a boy who comes of age on a southwestern ranch and later gets a true taste of reality and the high cost of freedom while serving in the U.S. Navy.The story takes place in the time frame from 1976 to 1988.

Great for first published novel........2005-12-11
This book really surprised me. For a guy that hasn't written a whole lot, writting openly about his past, it was a great novel. I learned a lot about the military and a lot about what happens at port in the Navy. I found it interesting. He also mentioned a bit about Arizona, and me being from the area his is talking about, I was happy to hear in detail about the ranches and ways before my time. I do admit that it did end quite abruptly, but otherwise it was a good read. It also has a few grammarical errors. I recommend it.

Book Description
For years fans have been asking TV's Mr. Food to create a cookbook for people with diabetes. He's finally done it, in association with the American Diabetes Association.
Yes, in his inimitable no-nonsense style, Mr. Food helps readers say "good-bye" to good-for-us dishes that look as bland as they taste, and "hello" to more than 150 classic recipes that will satisfy time and again. As an added bonus, Mr. Food's Quick and Easy Diabetic Cooking includes personal stories and recipe specialties from celebrities with diabetes.
The book offers a seemingly endless variety of tasty meat, poultry, seafood, and meatless main course recipes.

Each recipes includes nutritional information and diabetic exchanges.
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful book with great recipes and techniques!.......2004-01-21
My husband and I aren't diabetic, but we both need to lose weight. We didn't have much success with any of the brand-name diets, so we went to a registered dietician who put us on a diabetic exchange diet. Initially we had a hard time sticking to it, because it was hard to figure out ways to make food tasty with limited fat and starch intake, not to mention trying to figure out correct portion sizes to fit our exchanges.
This book, however, is making it much easier. I'm learning how to make subsitutions so food tastes good but is still healthy and within our dietary limits. The food may not always be as full-flavored as our favorite old fat-laden recipes, but there are recipes my husband is actually requesting, instead of wishing he could have his favorite fast food or Thai food!
The intro to the book has tips on portion sizes and subsitutionswhich are helpful in knowing what to eat and how much of it. Couple this information with a good kitchen scale, and you'll find that you'll be preparing meals you're actually looking forward to eating!
Mr. Food's Quick & Easy Diabetic Cooking.......2003-01-08
Brief and to the point, this book was just WONDERFUL. Mr. Food's TV recipes always seem so deliciously decedant. This book is also delicious ... but very far from decadent! Loved it!
Simple, quick.......2002-04-12
While his little show makes me want to jump out a window, his cookbook lives up to its name. Quick and easy, and the recipes actually work, unlike with many other cookbooks where the recipes do not turn out. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because the book lives up to its name and is affordable.

Before I started on a diabetic diet I had a few of Mr. Food's other recipe books. I was so excited to find out he, Art Ginsburg, had written a recipe book for those with diabetes. My diabetic diet had become so boring and plain until I received this book from Amazon.com. Now I look forward to planning my next meal.
The Double Chocolate Brownies were a hit with an Irish club I
belong to. People were happy to see something they were allowed to eat on our snack table instead of the usual sugary treats.
Comments to One Star Review.......2001-08-29
THE TRUTH ABOUT SUGAR As a Registered Dietitian, for more than 20 years, and Certified Diabetes Educator, for over 10 years, I was so distressed by reviewer comments regarding sugar in the diabetic diet, that I am taking time to respond. Since 1994 dietitians and educators working with people with diabetes have been trying to get the truth out about sucrose (sugar). Sugar is NOT a forbidden food for people with diabetes. Scientific evidence from more than a dozen studies has shown that the use of sugar does impair blood glucose control in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Sugar and foods containing sugar must be substituted for other carbohydrates, gram for gram, and not simply added to the diabetes meal plan. In making such substitutions, the nutrient content of concentrated sweets and sucrose-containing foods, as well as the presence of other nutrients frequently ingested with sucrose, such as fat, must be considered. The bottom line for people with diabetes is to check the total carbohydrate in a recipe or on a food label and work that into their diabetes meal plan. Because there are individual variations in blood glucose response, self-monitoring is an important part of diabetes control.
Book Description
It's a gorgeous, streamlined appliance, displayed as a bona fide American icon by the Smithsonian Institution. But the KitchenAid mixer, created in 1919, is more than just a domestic design classic. It's also a tabletop workhorse that easily mixes, creams, blends, kneads, and whisks to perfection, successfully accomplishing many time-and labor-intensive culinary tasks that are the foundation of good home cooking. The Ultimate Mixer Cookbook provides a thorough introduction to the appliance, its features, and specialized attachments, plus "blueprints" for whipping up piecrust, bread dough, and other basics. Dozens of recipes are presented for light lunches, supper dishes, mid-week meals, effortless desserts, and streamlined dishes for entertaining, as well as scrumptious baked goods-from butterscotch drizzle cake to garlic and sage focaccia. An indispensable tool for any well-rounded home cook!
Customer Reviews:
A bit much..........2005-09-14
These are recipes that I would never use on a day by day basis, the ingredients are not ones that I usually stock in my home so this book was of little help to me to get more use out of my mixer. I returned it!
Try another book to save money, eat better, live longer,.......2003-07-07
Yes, this book is beautifully photographed.
But the recipes reflect cooking styles of the 1950s and before, well proven but unoriginal in general, and almost certain to lead to medical ills.
The book panders to the manufacturer, often putting that name in bold, like a cheap advertisement, and then repeating the bold often every few paragraphs. Annoying.
Mostly, I was hoping for insights on how to use a KitchenAid to make a difference from the now normal food processor or blender. The book contains almost nothing for understanding how to leverage the special powers of a stand mixer.
Save your money, go on line if you want conventional recipes, or buy the equivalent for a quarter at a flea market.
For insight on the mixer, try "Mix It Up! Great Recipes to Make the Most of Your Stand Mixer" by Jamee Ruth, a really good book.
I feel cheated by Rosemary Moon, and think she should be ashamed of herself for authoring so superficial a book that panders to the vendor and does not serve the reader well.
This book should carry a health warning label -it could be quite unhealthy with its emphasis on heavy fats and carbo bombs.
NOT THE REAL DEAL.......2003-04-26
This book seems to have been thrown together in haste hoping to jump on the coat tails of Jamee Ruth's MIX IT UP! A few recipes are good but if you want the "manual" for the stand mixer get Jamee's book. She is the expert, her recipes are written to teach you how to use the mixer and the attachements. If you can't find the attachements you want go to the KitchenAid web site, of course Jamee's book is available thereas well. Also, get her Grill Pan Cookbook here on Amazon!
Not a worthwhile title.......2003-03-31
I like all books that teach me how to better use my appliances and this was the most disappointing-in fact I tossed it. This book almost tries to copy the fantastic title Mix It Up! by Jamee Ruth but fails in the worst way. Mix It Up! is the real book on the standmixer and I encourage everyone to get that one instead, of course it is available on the worlds little online book store Amazon.
Very worthwhile.......2003-03-14
One of the problems with big, expensive appliances is that many of us underutilize them. This book will show you all the mixer can do. I now think of my Kitchenaid as a heavy duty large food processor. Also, if you are giving a Kitchenaid as a gift, include a copy of this in the box.

Book Description
From the first "Play ball!" of each spring through the hot days of summer, minor-league teams across the nation give local fans a chance to relax and enjoy the national pastime, to preview tomorrow's stars, and to "root, root, root for the home team."
In this story of professional baseball in the Alamo City from 1888 to the present, San Antonio Express-News sportswriter David King hits the highlights-athletic and human-that have filled the city's diamonds for 115 years. He tells about the team that left Austin on a road trip and never returned-deciding to make San Antonio its home base instead; about San Antonio's first two black Texas League players, whose story was less dramatic but no less difficult than Jackie Robinson's; about Harry Ables, the "freak of nature" who holds the league's oldest single-season record, 310 strikeouts in 1910; and about the longest scoreless game in professional baseball history, the 25-inning duel against the Jackson Mets at V. J. Keefe Field in 1988.
King not only tells the stories that have driven the nation's fascination with baseball but also gives box scores and baseball statistics. Through losing seasons and the 2002 Texas League Championship alike, his stories and stats will occupy fans waiting for the next ump to call "Steeerike three!"

The Bats of Texas (W L Moody, Jr, Natural History Series)
ASIN: 0963824880 |
Book Description
Texas has thirty-two bat species, more than any other state. Bats rank among the state's most beneficial and fascinating allies. The majority eat insects, with just one colony consuming billions in a single night. Others are essential pollinators of desert plants. No other group of Texas mammals is more diverse or important to the balance of nature. This guide, produced by Bat Conservation International and the Texas Parks and Wildlife department, includes descriptions of Texas's bats, photographs, and range maps. It will convince readers that the bats' fearsome reputation is greatly undeserved.
Book Description
From a little black kitten cap with pointed ears to a peppermint pinwheel beret (complete with candy cane scarf), these 30 crocheted items for baby will inspire oohs and ahhs. They're simply too cute for words, and just right for intermediate-level crocheters. Helpful instructions teach all the necessary specialty stitches and explain how to master such techniques as crocheting 3-dimensional forms. The projects (organized by theme) feature adorable images and lots of time-tested tips. And each one is simply irresistible: a lion hooded jacket with a fuzzy yarn mane and matching mitten paws, a Heidi hat with a folk design and fake yarns braids peeking out the sides, and a dress-up royal purple cape and bejeweled crown. There's no collection like it.
Customer Reviews:
SIMPLY ADORABLE!.......2006-12-26
The hats featured in this book are REALLY cute and clever. Unfortunately, however, some of the pattern sizing seems wonky (even though I made gauge swatches) and some of the patterns slightly unclear. Also, there are some small details not to my liking (the drawstring tie on the kitty hat), but nothing that I couldn't figure out how to change. Irregardless, I do highly recommend the book (especially if you're looking for something "different"), as does my two-year-old daughter who will spend hours just looking at the pictures! :)
Imaginative patterns .......2005-12-06
This is perfect for little ones, especially the patterns on the cover. Although I can't make them for my granddaughter yet( she is still very small), you can bet that I will be, so many cute patterns that will be enjoyed by the babies.
Super cute hats for babies.......2005-09-27
This book is full of hats for babies (up to 24 months) with a few accessories like slippers, mittens and a purse.
The hats are mostly "costume" hats - there's a pointy elf hat with a fuzzy chin strap that looks like a beard, there's a pink poodle hat that uses eyelash yarn to make the curly hair of the dog, a chocolate kiss using silver yarn and a sweet strawberry with a green stem.
These are not the old crocheted items your great-aunt used to make...these are cute, hip, "new" styles that are sure to get lots of compliments.

Since this book is in Spanish, I will comment it in Spanish.......1997-06-23
Es muy interesante este libro, pues nos incluyen a los papás. Además casi todo está en este libro, no se les escapa nada. A veces me pregunto como le hacían los padres para saber el estado de su mujer (esposa). No se puede tener una embarazada sin este libro.
Noto que las preguntas en el libro tienen una mentalidad muy estadounidense, por lo que algunas resultan inverosímiles o inclusive cursis.
No entiendo porqué son más caros en español estos libros.
Book Description
Composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb are the longest-running song-writing partnership in Broadway history, having first joined forces in 1962. The creators of such groundbreaking musicals as Chicago, Cabaret, and Kiss of the Spider Woman, Kander and Ebb have helped to push American musical theater in a more daring direction, both musically and dramatically. Their impact on individual performers has been great as well, starting with the handpicked star of their first musical: an untested nineteen-year-old named Liza Minnelli (who writes of this experience in her introduction).
Colored Lights covers the major shows of Kander and Ebb's partnership, from Flora, the Red Menace (starring a then-unknown Liza) to The Visit, their newest show, which is set to star another Kander and Ebb favorite, Chita Rivera. The pages and musicals in between reveal what has made theirs such an important and long-lived musical partnership--and one so valued by the artists they have worked with. In recounting the genesis and controversies of Cabaret, reflecting on the superstar mentality of such artists as Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, and recalling their work with Bob Fosse on Chicago (as well as their thoughts on the Oscar-winning film version), John Kander and Fred Ebb provide a history not only of their own lives but also of the American musical theater of the late twentieth century.
Customer Reviews:
First You Dream.......2004-08-23
Good for Greg Lawrence for facilitating this oral history ad thinking of the right questions to get these two chatterboxes off and running, to the races! Lawrence wrote an OK biography of Jerome Robbins, and an as told to "by" Gelsey Kirkland which was good, but this book is terrific fun. The only thing is, aren't Kander and Ebb a couple? Or was that something they didn't want to talk about? Maybe they're not, who knew! But discussion of their personal lives is totally not on the menu here. Maybe after they are dead the whole story will come out. They tell some great stories here about working with Bob Fosse, maybe the best sustained account available of the great choreographer's ambitions, dreams, desires, and mania. I like the way that Liza Minnelli and Harold Prince also jump in to give their two cents here and there from the bleachers. It's a technique you often see in journalism, and here it works just fine. Liza is subject #1 of Kander and Ebb's discussions. They are always trying to make her look good, or rather to bring her natural talents to the fore. But in doing so they paint a picture of a talented actress who was thwarted by the commercial failure of THE RINK and therefore never tried to be anything but "just Liza" again, and being "just Liza" is pretty messed up what with having a mother who tried to take over her life in a drunken haze and at least one boyfriend (Martin Scorsese) who attempted to direct a whole show for her (THE ACT) via Moviola. Kander and Ebb also discuss writing for Lauren Bacall and the differences that affected WOMAN OF THE YEAR when Raquel Welch came in and replaced Bacall. It's all very illuminating and will make you laugh out loud as well. Their post mortems for their flops THE RINK and STEEL PIER, which they consider among their best shows, are not convincing, but their account of work with a sour kvetching Frank Sinatra and a controlling Barbra Streisand have the bitter ring of truth. This is not a particularly light-hearted book but I think anyone who's interested in musical theater will get a charge out of it.
I wish there had been more in it about the mysterious ingenue Jill Haworth who, after a strong of movies for Otto Preminger, took the Sally Bowles part in CABARET and got crucified for it--and had a "thing" with Sal Mineo (!!!) -- and then left show business. She is one of the most intriguing personalities of the 1960s and Kander and Ebb mention her only briefly (though very sympathetically).
A Broadway hit!!!.......2003-11-14
As the song says, start spreading the news -- this memoir in dialogue form by John Kander and Fred Ebb really is a surprising gem. I didn't expect to enjoy a book that is mainly conversation but I went through it in one sitting (on a flight from NY to LA) and didn't want it to end. These two geniuses of musical theater are totally engaging, and their breezy dialogue is often as provocative (and sometimes hilarious) as their best musicals and songs. It's like being in the same room with the two of them and having a chance to eavesdrop on their wry insights into the shows and various personalities they've worked with, including Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Lauren Bacall, Bob Fosse, Shirley McLaine, and Anthony Quinn.
The anecdotes in the book, even the dishiest ones, are told with wit and intelligence, and without the usual celebrity tell-all pretensions. Kander and Ebb come across as two very different personalities as collaborators, yet both seem very earthy and wise about life and show business. Anyone who was wowed by Chicago or Cabaret will be delighted by their reminiscences. And there are some surprising revelations, like the fact that their biggest hit, "New York, New York," would never have been written if it hadn't been for Robert Deniro, who they say disapproved of their first version of the song and made them rewrite it for him. I was also surprised by the down-to-earth side of Liza Minnelli that comes across in the Introduction -- not at all like her usual media image. This book is like a little play itself, and what a great way to experience forty years of Broadway history and backstage lore. Definitely, a unique'must read' for theater lovers.

An Amazing Tale of a Hater who transformed his life.......1999-06-05
Larry Trapp hated all minorities, women, and committed his life to the cause of "white supremacy". However, as committed as he was, the work of one man, a Jewish cantor and his wife, broke through the barriers of hate, dissolving them. The author is masterful, and does a good job of describing how Trapp became so filled with rage - parents who beat him, and ravaged by a disease, diabetes, which ultimately killed him. Trapp told the cantor that he simply did not know how to change - and the cantor and his family took him into their lives. This story cannot help but touch everyone who reads it. I read the book twice, and wiped twice. It demonstrates that even the most evil-filled person may turn himself around. Trapp even went to the FBI and revealed all he knew about hate groups; he traveled to every youth group he knew, begging them not to join these groups. A unique, well-written book you won't forget.
