Customer Reviews:

An excellent book I wish everyone to read.......2006-03-01

This is a unique book, though written to help become financially independent, the principles may be used to help achieve anything you may want to have in life or want to become.
May start with the short CD (about 45 minutes) on this book read by Earl Nightingale, or 2 hour version read by Joe Slattery.

Good. But not the best of Napoleon Hill's CDs.......2006-02-13

This is a good CD. I own it and have listened to it a few times. Earl Nightingale gives a clear summary of Think and Grow Rich. To me, Napoleon Hill is the greatest success author/speaker ever and Think and Grow Rich is the single greatest book I have ever read. However, a part of this particular CD feels like an advertisement and could have been skipped. Also, the editorial reviews and the narrator of this CD talk about 13 principles. This could sometimes be the cause of confusion. Hill organized 13 Steps Toward Riches (in Think and Grow Rich) and 17 Principles of Personal Achievement (in his courses and lectures), also referred to as 17 Keys to Success. This CD talks about the 13 Steps in T&GR.
I would recommend this CD to you only after you have heard the 9 CD set that contains twelve hours worth of live lectures in Napoleon Hill's own voice. The set is called Your Right To Be Rich and was recorded in 1954 in Chicago. In this, Napoleon Hill talks about each of his seventeen Principles of Personal Achievement. The set is amazingly inexpensive and well worth the investment in cost, time and effort.
If my review was helpful to you, I request you to select "Yes" so that the rating is improved and more readers will get to read it.

Book Description

Back when people spent their whole lives in one place, life was all about family and family rituals. It was about the whole clan gathering at dinnertime over meals to be remembered forever. Luann Landon's cookbook/memoir transports us to that world of formal midday dinners, closely guarded recipes, and competitive cooks.

Dinner at Miss Lady's takes us back there through the memories, meals, and recipes of one Southern family. Landon recreates the old Southern way of life in comic and tender anecdotes--from the near disaster of losing the tiny dinner bell to revenge exacted by giving the wrong recipe for a cake. This is the world of Landon's extended family: the glamorous and indolent Aunt Clare; the industrious, proud grandmother Murlo; the other grandmother, spoiled, indulgent Miss Lady and her good-humored husband, Judge; and most important, Henretta, the protective cook, able to mend family battles with a perfect blackberry-rhubarb cobbler.

Adding to the vividness of this memoir are menus from those memorable meals, including birthday dinners, homecoming feasts, graduation celebrations, and sumptuous spring and fall parties. Landon shares detailed recipes for over sixty heirloom dishes: Cousin Catherine's Chicken Vermouth with Walnuts and Green Grapes, Beets in Orange and Ginger Sauce, Tennessee Jam Cake, Caramel Ice Cream.

A rich portrait of a life almost lost to us, Dinner at Miss Lady's is a memoir cooked to perfection, one to savor both for its stories and for its food.

Sweet read.......2007-07-30

What a sweet, sensuous, evocative book about both the south and childhood as I would like to have experienced it. I didn't want the book to end. I'm disappointed to find this is Ms. Landon's only published book.

Fussy Food but Great Writing.......2007-07-10

This is a short memoir of growing up in the 50's in a rich family. It was a unique perspective for me to see how the other half lives. The food was so complicated and fussy, but it was a fun read.

A Beautiful Book.......2005-07-15

This book made me long to live her life with the sumptuous formal dinners and beautiful frocks. I never wanted this book to end. The recipies are definately attemptable. The last book of this type I read instructed to use on a "hot fire" or "slow coals". Not really the method I use.... I highly recommend this book, both for the food and the history.

Buttery and Delicious.......2005-05-28

When I read this delightful memoir, I felt like I had been invited to the best meals in town in the company of people who made me laugh and think. That's a good invitation to a lovely read.

Who was really in the kitchen?.......2001-06-29

Did any other readers of this poetically written daydream notice that while the white people in it sometimes pushed the borders of eccentricity, the black people were straight out of Margaret Mitchell fantasy land? They don't quite chuckle and shuffle, but darned near. The climax is reached in that never-never train ride. Which is more unbelievable--that although the train was segregated, this brave young woman was allowed to escort her quivering protege unchallenged into the dining car, or that the daughter of a doctor was as fawningly grateful as Ms. Landon recalls? Ms. Landon writes a well-turned sentence. And I suppose one must envy her her memory, for its golden, if bogus, glow.

The AOL of finance!.......2002-06-12

Value Line is well known for its reputation of being independent and forthcoming regarding its stock picks. Value Line is mentioned in many finance textbooks as foiling those who believe in the "efficient market hypothesis." As a matter of fact, Value Line recommended Amazon.com on 2/1/02 at $12.53 -Amazon closed at 18.63 on 6/10/02. Besides allowing me to see how its stock picks have done historically, the software included on the CD allows me to create filters and portoflios of stocks that meet my own criteria, view full page survey pages, create technical analysis charts, visit message boards, listen to conference calls, view option chains, graph insider trading and alot, alot more.

I like the fact that I can get intraday updates and email alerts at no extra cost.

I highly recommend it.

Value Line is the AOL of finance!

Historical Timeliness Ranks tell it all..........2002-05-27

The feature I like the best is that using the software program's technical analysis charting feature that is included on the CDROM, you can see exactly how effective Value Line recommendations have been over time. It's rare, but refreshing, to know a company has the conviction to show the public how it's recommendations have performed over time.

Book Description

Judy Short had a root canal in the morning and learned that afternoon that she had flunked her mammogram. She describes it as "Quite possibly one of the worst days of my life."

Everyone wants to meet Judy's Killer Bunny (K.B.)! He is the visualization aid that she used to help in her battle with breast cancer. Judy envisioned that her white blood cells were Killer Bunnies, attacking and eating the cancer cells. Then, since they were rabbits, they reproduced quickly¡ªwhich is the goal for the body's immune system, for white cells to reproduce and effectively fight off disease. Judy's visualization took physical form as you can see from the cover photo.

This isn't just another woman's story about breast cancer¡ªit is about hoping and coping and maintaining a positive outlook and sense of humor throughout the experience.

Judy shares the practical insights she learned during her mastectomy, breast reconstruction and chemotherapy. She frankly addresses the gambit of emotions from anger and fear to hope and defiance.

More than 185,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year¡ªthat is one in eight. This book is for them and for all cancer patients,eir families and their friends.

Customer Reviews:

K.B. & Me: A Great Resource.......2001-06-14

K.B.& Me is a great and unique addition to the body of cancer-coping literature out there. Judith Short writes an excellent and frank first-person account of her experiences with breast cancer.

This book is a true heart-warmer as you learn how a stuffed bunny or "Killer Bunny" (nick-named "K.B.") comes to her rescue, destroying cancer cells so her body will produce the white blood cells she needs to help fight the disease that plagues tens of thousands of women each year.

Through her personal account, Short shares lessons on how to overcome this disease from physical, mental and emotional standpoints. Her honesty is truly appreciated as she guides the reader through her personal journey.

Though her experiences are personal, they are still seasoned with insight and lessons that anyone who has dealt with this disease - either as a patient or as a family member or friend of the patient - can appreciate.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the book is Short's firm insistence and belief in the "patient-active" concept promoted in the book. That is, the patient must take charge of her own healthcare and don't treat doctors as if they are God - because they are not.

Another major plus to the book is that proceeds from it will be donated to cancer-related organizations and causes. This is definitely a book that you'll pull out again and again if you or someone you love is dealing with cancer and are looking for inspiration on how they can get through this illness.

Short's style of writing invokes such a personal connection that you get a sense that she is your personal cheerleader, cheering you on and giving you hope.

The Bunny With an Attitude.......2001-05-23

You know you're having a bad day when you return home from a root canal and get a phone message saying you flunked your mammogram. This happened to Judith trotter Short. She shares her story in "K.B. and Me."

The abnormal mammogram led to further testing, which led to a breast cancer diagnosis. Short candidly describes her emotions, reactions and experiences before, during and after treatment.

K.B. stands for "Killer Bunny." K.B. is a sweet stuffed rabbit toy with fake plastic fangs glued to its mouth. Short used this toy as a visual aid and motivational tool in her fight against the disease.

She imagined that her white cells were white killer bunnies. She visualized that these bunnies would hop throughout her body, munching away at the cancer cells. She further noted that since her white blood cells were rabbits, they would reproduce quickly. This is the ultimate goal in cancer treatment, and Short used her imagination to rebuild her own immune system.

Before long, K.B. achieved notoriety as a cancer-fighting mascot. Even medical personnel were touched and amused by K.B.'s indirect healing power. Besides being a visual aid, K.B. was a physical object of comfort that accompanied the author through surgery, chemotherapy and recovery.

"K.B. and Me" is a short read. Though 85 pages in length, this slim book covers many topics within the subject of breast cancer. On top of her own feelings, Short describes the reactions of others and how she dealt with them.

The tone of the book is uplifting. The wording makes the reader feel as though she is having conversation over coffee with a friend, rather than reading the words of a published author. I think that very characteristic justifies that the book should be read by all who are directly or indirectly affected by the disease.

This is by no means a work of breast cancer research. The author offers no medical references or treatment preferences. The book's value rests in its record of how one woman conquered breast cancer. Short faced to disease with humor and a fighting attitude. She published her story hoping it would help others as well.

My first reaction, upon reading the cover of the book, was that this woman was crazy. A cancer-fighting bunny? Then I began to think of what my own reaction would be I ever face the same diagnosis. Humor and inner strength would be part of my plan of attack as well. Judith Short isn't crazy. She's an inspiration.

I do recommend "K.B. and Me" as part of any personal cancer information library. The book is not a substitute for education on the subject. However, Short's poignant, courageous tale can assist other victims in their treatments.

As I mentioned before, this is a short book. If you ever find yourself buying a pile of books on the subject of breast cancer, slip this slim volume on the purchasing stack, too. The other books will provide some education on the disease. "K.B. and Me" will provide the support, humor and guidance that are needed as well.
