        I love, love, love this book! Everything I have made from it both my kids and husband not only will eat but ask for over and over. I was hoping they had written another one...no such luck yet.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent recipes.......2005-04-17

        Check out the North Douglas Chocolate Cake recipe. Simple to make and gets all the rave reviews after dinner...or before lunch...or whenever it strikes your fancy. mmmmmmmmmm goooood!

        5 out of 5 stars For Alaska-lovers and foodies, this book is the greatest........1999-07-28

        This cookbook would be fun reading even if you didn't cook! I especially loved the Alaska tidbits in the sidebars.

        5 out of 5 stars Buy this book!.......1999-07-13

        The VERY BEST Alaskan Cookbook. You need it

        5 out of 5 stars Easy breads for new bakers, great seafood recipes.......1999-07-12

        I live a block away from the restaurant, but find myself turning to the book to cook one of their specialities at home, especially Halibut Caddy Ganty, Pasta Greta Garbo, or some of their hearty soups.

        This book finally inspired me to start baking my own bread again, too. Their basic whole wheat bread recipe is great for a single person since it's for one loaf.

        This is a wonderful book for seafood lovers, especially if you want to impress your friends with some inspired fish recipes. It's obvious that the cooks who wrote this book love cooking, and want readers to enjoy it too!

        This book is well written. The explanations of when and how to use the various option tactics is clear and concise. Charts are provided so the reader can see how the option strategies actually worked.

        4 out of 5 stars Trading chart patterns with Options.......2001-06-02

        This book takes classical chart patterns and describes how to develop an options strategy to trade such patterns. The book is quite distinctive in this respect. How should we use options to trade a potential head and shoudlers bottom? This book tells you how, together with flow charts of the possible paths whcih a pattern could develop into. Traders who do not trade in options but like chart patterns should also like this book. I bought it because it gives insights into chart patterns. Now, as I begin to trade options, I feel I should get a lot of insights into converting my patterns into option strategies.

        I was so down about the stock market. Just could not win. After reading Mr. Yarborough's book, making money became so easy. The book taught me how to analysis a stock in terms that I could understand. Not a bunch of mumbo jumbo. And more importantly, how to add to my profits by selling the options. It is a must read for anyone who is just sick and tired of lossing money.

                  As a Human Performance Technologist, I am constantly running into situations where I need to use facilitating skills. I have acquired such skills and knowledge over years of experience and practice. This book, Facilitating With Ease!," neatly packages the knowledge components required of a Facilitator and provides useful tools to be used in practice. I am planning to use this book with a client in training new facilitators to facilitate discussions of ethical business leadership. I wish I had this book 10 years ago!

                  Details core facilitation tools and techniques. Chapters cover: understanding facilitation; facilitation stages; assessing and understanding participants; creating participation; effective decision making; facilitating conflict; meeting management; process tools for facilitators (e.g., visioning, exit surveys, brainstorming) and process designs. This is a well organized 'soup to nuts' reference including worksheets on CD-ROM that can be customized. Comprehensive, clear, and concise.

                  4 out of 5 stars Insightful!.......2001-10-16

                  Companies that embrace work teams quickly discover a basic truth: More teams mean more meetings. Management experts laud the benefits of enlightened teamwork, but they spend much less time dwelling on the often long, sometimes pointless and nearly always inefficient meetings that teams breed. With teams fast becoming a fixture in the corporate world, meeting management, or facilitation, is becoming a critical skill for anyone with executive ambitions. Author Ingrid Bens' definition of a facilitator is quite specific - someone who guides a meeting without actually participating in discussion or decision making - but her book is filled with practical advice that any professional can apply when running a meeting. A host of charts, examples and worksheets (not to mention the accompanying CD) help illustrate her process for steering meetings without controlling or directing the outcome. We [...] recommend this hands-on how-to guide to anyone motivated to minimize the waste of meeting-creep.

                  5 out of 5 stars Facilitating With Ease!.......2000-11-08

                  I have had the privilege of participating in workshops taught by Ingrid Bens: this is like having her in your own training room! The information in this book is both relevant and concise. I use the book to lead my facilitation team through all of their group dynamics training. The CD-ROM allows me the freedom to customize the worksheets to meet our needs. This is a great book that I highly recommend to all individuals who work in teams, lead meetings, or need assistance in group dynamics

                  5 out of 5 stars From one facilitator to another..........2000-07-07

                  As a failitator of a process using storyboards, I am always looking for new twists on facilitation in general. As a compact, to the point resource on facilitation and basic meeting management, I think Ingrid's is at the top of the list. While, like any such work, you truly gain the value when you attend a workshop, this book is worth the price in things anyone can adapt and use in any organization. You can never become "good enough" at facilitation and I am glad someone referred me to this book. Two thumbs up......Oh, and one other nice thing. Everything in here is to-the-point instruction - no big ego trips with the author's name dropped into war story after war story...

                    5 out of 5 stars Great for improving relationships at the workplace!.......2004-01-29

                    This book has done wonders for me. I was having a very difficult time with my boss and after having read the book my relationship with him changed 180 degrees! Not only do I no longer take his actions personally, but I have acquired very effective skills in communicating with him that have produced win-win results for the two of us. I highly recommend THE SOLUTION PATH

                    A user-friendly, must-have manual

                    The Solution Path offers a concise manual on identifying and resolving problems that arise in the workplace and everyday life. The book offers a unique approach to problem solving by presenting practical methods with an emphasis on positive thinking, teamwork, and creativity.

                    I find the organization of the book extremely helpful. Each chapter includes real-life cases as well as several easy to use exercises that provide readers the opportunity to work on their problems.

                    Another unique feature of the book is its emphasis on facilitation and teamwork. The Solution Path showed me how to use facilitation and capitalize on the power of my team at every step of the problem solving process. As a result, my team members not only generate many more ideas but also combine them into solutions that are feasible and easier to implement. Facilitation also enabled us to resolve employee conflicts within the team environment. Some of these conflicts were due to personality traits. By utilizing the personality test and exercises, we have started to value our innate personality differences, which resulted in a higher level of productivity.

                    In addition, unlike other books written on the subject, the author offers spiritual principles that fuel readers with optimism. Readers are inspired to tap into their higher power, view the world as a place filled with abundance rather than scarcity of resources, and approach all their problems in a positive, action-oriented manner. By applying these principles, it almost feels that there are no problems but only solutions.

                    I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to maximize managerial skills. The Solution Path is a must-have reference source that I will utilize again and again in my professional and personal life.

                    5 out of 5 stars Excellent, Resourceful and User-Friendly. A MUST READ!.......2003-12-13

                    The two most precious advantages of this book are its user-friendliness and its effective utilization of "hands on" resources for creating solutions. Sioukas' book will help you reformulate the way you view, deal with, and resolve problems at your workplace and, as I found, within your own personal life.

                    Throughout my twenty plus years of experience as a corporate executive, I have been exposed to numerous approaches dealing with problem solving. "The Solution Path," not only offers one of the most easy to read and comprehensible tools I have encountered, it also breaks new ground in helping individuals use their inner strengths in harmony with those of their workplace. This book will help you demystify the often complicated processes of effectively working with teams, of envisioning outcomes and developing ideas, and finally, it will empower you to formulate and deliver a strategically sound solution to your problem. It does so by using solid, graspable concepts, and creative, hands-on tools. This book delivers!

                    5 out of 5 stars Reader from Seattle.......2003-10-31

                    The Solution Path helped me resolve my company's organizational problems. Instead of hiring an expensive consultant, I used the principles outlined in the book and resolved all of my problems. It was the best money spent. I would recommend this book to other executives trying to resolve turmoil and find viable solutions.

                      I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is full of wisdom that we all could attach to our lives. Life lessons are something all of us deal with daily. Mr. Vaughn has shared his with us in a sincere way that captures the readers attention. I think everybody could take some piece of knowledge from this book and share it with others in good faith. I know I personally will use the lessons and pieces of wisdom to better my life. Mr. Vaughn has definitely left a piece of history for his grandchildren and wonderful lessons of life for all others who read his enchanting book.

                      5 out of 5 stars Lessons in Living.......2001-11-04

                      The author did an excellent job in ascertaining lessons in living or principles of life that are worthy of emulation by anyone,young or old. I found the book easy to read and I especially enjoyed the short stories that are humerous yet packed with provoking thoughts.

                      I commend the author for giving all profits from the publication to the Boys & Girls Clubs in America. That is also a lesson in living.
