Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Gorgeous Passion Vine) 『Can't wait for Spring so that I can start these seeds. The flower is absolutely gorgeous.』 『The largest fruit in its genus, the giant granadilla, Passiflora quadrangularis L. (syn. P. macrocarpa M.T. Mast.), is often called merely grenadilla, or parcha.
The vine is fast-growing, large, coarse, herbaceous but woody at the base, arising from a fleshy root that becomes enlarged with age, and climbing trees to a height of 33 to 50 ft (10-15 m) or even 150 ft (45 m) in Java. It has thick 4-angled stems prominently winged on the angles. The solitary, fragrant flowers, up to 4 3/4 or 5 in (12-12.5 cm) wide, have a bell-shaped calyx, the 5 sepals greenish or reddish-green on the outside, white, pink or purple inside; the 5 petals, to 1 3/4 in (4.5 cm) long, white-and-pink; the corona filaments 2-ranked, to 2 3/8 in (6 cm) long, purple-and-white below, blue in the middle, and pinkish-blue above, around the typical complex of pistil, style and stigmas.The pleasantly aromatic, melon-like fruit is oblong-ovoid, 4 3/4 to 6 in (12-15 cm) wide, and 8 to 12 in (10-30 cm) long; may be faintly ribbed or longitudinally 3-lobed; has a thin, delicate skin, greenish-white to pale- or deep-yellow, often blushed with pink. Beneath it is a layer of firm, mealy, white or pink flesh, 1 to 1 1/2 in (2.5-4 cm) thick, of very mild flavor, and coated with a parchment-like material on the inner surface. The central cavity contains some juice and masses of whitish, yellowish, partly yellow or purple-pink, sweet-acid arils (commonly referred to as the pulp), enclosing flattened-oval, purplish-brown seeds to 1/2 in (1.25 cm) long.』

There weren't any directions so I used a handtowel to lay between the iron and the iron on aplique. I was scared I may burn the shirt if I didn't. I would iron it on for about 30 seconds or so just to be sure. It has been almost a year and after several washings they are still on the shirts!』 『 This fun sparkle iron-on "BRIDESMAID" decal can go on hats, shirts, bags, or bandannas.

The title is : THE SWEET GREATEST HITS but the one I was lucky enough to find comes in a small box with the title; SWEET BEST OF THE BEST GOLD. This is a limited edition release and the sound quality is awesome. Songs from the early days like "Poppa Joe" and "Little Willy" to their heavier stuff like "Action", "Rock and Roll Disgrace", "The Lies in Your Eyes" . If you don't know SWEET I highly recommend this cd. Either way this is a must have for anyone who likes Rock and Roll with a great catchy sound and wonderful harmonies.』
(Sweet but incomplete) 『Sweet was one of the most successful UK bands of the 1970s. Their first hit was 1971's Funny Funny, a singalong bubblegum ditty. That same year they had another huge success with the clever pop number Coco, a song about a gibbon with sweet hooks and gorgeous harmonies. As the 1970s progressed, their sound evolved into a type of bubblegum metal, power pop or glamrock.
They always had the best hooks, their harmonies were tops and the expert production assured them regular top 10 status for a good many years. Songs like Blockbuster, Hell Raiser, Ballroom Blitz, Fox On The Run and Teenage Rampage are rowdy and tuneful little teen anthems which still sound fresh today.
Not everything here is great, since Poppa Joe, Alexander Graham Bell, Little Willy and Wig Wam Bam are disposable and lightweight pop. The worst omissions (not sure if they were all released as singles) are Restless, Set Me Free, Sweet FA, Mother Earth and their huge 1978 hit Love Is Like Oxygen.
The superior Sweet collection from the glam era and late 1970s when their sound gained a harder edge, is titled The Best of Sweet whilst the album of choice for the early pop period plus some memorable album tracks is Very Best of Sweet. Although it isn't comprehensive, this Greatest Hits album does contain most of their most successful songs.』
(Ho Chi Minh is wrong!) 『This revier claims that the sweet ripped of David Bowies Gene Jeanie. Sorry, but the so called "Bowie riff" was not origanal when bowie did it, countless blues ands rock acts of the 50's and '60s already used that riff long before Bowie or the Sweet ever did (for example, Honeybus use that very same riff in the mid-1960s). Anyone who points there finger at the sweet for "ripping off Bowie" knows nothing about the many songs that already used the riff and therefore Bowie was ripping off the song where he had heard it. Anyway, the sweet did a much better job of using it than Bowie did.』
(sweet things come in packages) 『the glam rock band that came after marc bolan and t.rex exploded with their glitter boogie..the sweet follow in the same vein as marc having soaring solo's and clean vocals..this band rocks and it features the hillarous single "little willy" and the smash "ballroom blitz" and "teenage rampage" it features my favorite song "wait until the morning comes" these guys surely knew how to write catchy melodies rock on..』
(The Best Sweet Compilation Available) 『"Greatest Hits" is the best Sweet compilation available. All the Sweet's best songs are here; remastered for great sound. This disc boasts 4 more tracks and overall better sound quality than it's American competition, Capitol's "Best Of Sweet". Often "best of" albums don't give a true picture of many bands. Often the songs need to be heard in the context of the album they were recorded (a song out of The Who's "Tommy" or Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" for example). The Sweet, however, were always a singles band. So the presentation here really gives the listener an idea of how great this band really was. For any "hard rock", "metal", "glam" or old time "rock 'n' roll" fan, this album is a must.』 『European only Gold-Disc pressing is housed in a die-cut slip case, exposing the gold disc. Reissue of this 'Best Of' compilation for this legendary Glam band features 20 tracks including 'Blockbuster', 'Fox On The Run', 'Little Willy', 'Ballroom Blitz', 'Action' and more.

(A True Diva Never Says Die) 『This is a sizzling love affair. Jazz, r&b and opera are all incorporated in this lovely affair. I love me some Jean Carne. I don't understand why people are so damn stoooooooopid! These two showcases her creamy vocals but her outstanding range as well. Miss Girl sounds better than them American Idol people. "When I Find You Love" album is such a gorgeous affair. Title track is off da hook. My song is "Start The Fire". Miss Girl's got me going with Keep it Burning! "Lonely Girl In A Cold Cold World" is so funky!
Sweet And Wonderful showcased her sassiness. From "Bet Your Lucky Star", to the end, it is simply beautiful. I enjoy "We Got Some Catchin' Up To Do"!
Bottom line is: Cop dis!』
(Jean at her very best.) 『These two classic albums were among Jean's classiest and most gorgeous albums ever. "All I Really Need Is You", "Mystic Stranger", "Don't Say No To Love", "Start The Fire" and Jean's amazing cover version of the Spinners' classic "Love Don't Love Nobody" are your reasons for buying this great CD. While Jean never enjoyed the commercial success and strong record sales she so richly deserved these two albums offer irrefutable proof of her amazing and enormous talent.』 『Re-issue from the 70's / 80's Philadephia label comes these 2 classic albums from 1979 - 1981 on 1 CD.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (What Happens When A Fascist Dictatorship Takes Power!) 『It's a great shame that this historically significant film is so obscure - it currently has only one review, which unfortunately misses the point of the story! This is a devastating and historically accurate tale about what happens when fascism violently comes to power by overthrowing a democratically elected government. And the film gets personal! Anyone who has ever been a political activist will have shivers going up their spine while watching this poignant masterpiece! What's more disturbing is that events happen so fast, it's very hard to process the experience! Disbelief and denial of the magnitude of what is happening interferes with one's ability to make the appropriate decisions. Keep in mind making the wrong decision may cost you your life, or that of a family member. What makes it even more alarming is the realization that given the right set of circumstances, no democracy, including the United States, is immune to a violent overthrow!
While I did not experience the violent overthrow of Salvador Allende's government, I knew someone who was an eye-witness to General Pinochet's crimes while living in Santiago, Chile's capital. This person, who happened to be a Nun, was lucky. She was an American citizen, and a member of a religious order, and was allowed to evacuate to the United States. But before leaving, she witnessed the death and destruction first hand! To her, and hundreds of thousands people like her, this was not an abstract experience of watching a movie in the safety of one's home!
For those who would like to do further research on the subject I highly recommend these two groundbreaking books by Philip Agee: Inside the Company and On the Run』
(Stays Away From Its Main Subject.) 『Michael Cacoyannis closely choreographs the movements of actors in his films and this, in conjunction with his script for this flabbily constructed work, sadly gives the piece a lightweight feel, inappropriately distanced from the genuine citizenry for whom he purportedly feels sympathy, the entire film therefore going down to artistic defeat, not aided by unsuitable casting. Based upon a novel by American Caroline Richards, the setting is Chile in 1973 directly following the assassination of Marxist president Salvador Allende, when General Augusto Pinochet's military cartel, with United States backing, took over from the elected government, the action following events in the lives of a married upper case American expatriate couple, the Willings, and their close friends the Arayas, a Chilean family from the class of moneyed interests. Although highly dramatic socio-political circumstances form a strong background for the storyline, numerous psychosexual relationships among the characters occupy most of the director's attention, and although humiliating treatment of some women at the hands of Pinochet troops provides melodramatic interest, a viewer might wonder at the lack of any attempt to develop insights into the background of a situation that tore the nation apart, impacting the working class native population largely ignored by Cacoyannis. Shot in Greece, the film benefits from able camerawork, but some wayward casting, notably that of Randy Quaid as a goatish army corporal whose risible attempt at speaking Hispanic flavoured English provides one of many elements of the affair that one will prefer not to remember; Franco Nero is the most effective player at handling the stilted dialogue. A harshly cut 120 minute version has been distributed and is best avoided, since it only serves to increase the incoherence rife within this unsatisfying venture.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (An Overlooked Classic) 『After the release of THE GREEN BERETS in 1967, eleven years later would come a stream of films about the war: BOY'S FROM COMPANY C, APOCALYPSE NOW, THE DEERHUNTER, HAMBURGER HILL, PLATOON and perhaps the most under-rated of all GO TELL THE SPARTANS. A fine performance by Burt Lancaster as a grizzled veteran with troops Craig Wasson and Marc Singer. Set in the early years of the war, it is a warning what awaits in the jungles and rice paddies. Directed by Ted Post (MAGNUM FORCE), a great addition to any collection.』
(An over-looked Vietnam war classic film) 『Released in the same year as other Vietnam films such as "Coming Home" and "The Deer Hunter", this fine low-budget film was ignored by the Academy in favor of the other two yet it boasts one of Burt Lancaster best latter day performances and the other two leads, Craig Wasson and Marc Singer, are also excellent as well. In fact Lancaster was so fond of the brilliant script/story that he donated $150,000 out of his pocket to complete the film. In print, Lancaster stated that he considered "Airport" a pile of crap but he was paid so well for it that he could afford to play a role such as Maj Asa Baker, a war weary veteran of previous wars. Along with his other great roles such as "Atlantic City" and "The Leopard", this one ranks as one of his best and the direction by Ted Post (Hang Em High;Magnum Force) is focused and efficient. Recommended for anyone interested in the whole Vietnam dilemna and war enthusiasts.』
(Hard to find movies) 『I saw this movie a long time ago and I was wondering if I could find it in dvd format which Amazon made it possible. Thanks Amazon.』
(WE WERE SOLDIERS;IN THE SPIRIT OF SPARTANS:Corpus Christi, TX) 『This is one excellent movie. Brings back alot of memories. It is believable because that's how it was in the early years of the war. And sad to say, for the duration. But we were picking up the mantle from the Greatest Generation, as they did from those who fought in the Great War. And let's not forget Korea. Forget all the one star reviewers! They don't know dung! Personally, I did my part in fighting for America. Protecting our freedom! That's how I saw it. I think about my friend Jose Torres who was the first one killed in'65 from our little town of Sinton. I enlisted in'67 with about six close friends. One of my closest friends Edward Gonzalez was also KIA. We grew up together, as altar boys, Boy Scouts, etc. The memories are still there, and I cherish them. This is the only movie, other than "WE Were Soldiers", about VietNam, that is in my collection! I was with the 1st Marine Division, 1st Shore Party Battalion from Dec '67 thru Jun "69. Oooorah! PS: Good title for a movie. Go Tell The Spartans*****』
(Vietnam;The Early Days) 『GO TELL THE SPARTANS is a film that makes clear much of the thought and rationale for our involvement in Vietnam. Lean, stripped down, almost documentary in structure and form it tells the story of early advisers and a small bloody battle that was an indicator for what was to come. Burt Lancaster and Marc Singer deliver first rate performances and the small cast of mainly unknown and character actors only lend to the realism. A must have film for anyone interested in the history of the Vietnam War and in gaining a clearer perspective of our entanglements there.』

(Medium 4-Season Review) 『We didn't start watching Medium until a few months ago, so catching up on all the past seasons has really been entertaining. The ability to see a show and also hear comments from the producer was a plus.』
(Hooked on Medium) 『I had not watched this show until recently, but a prolonged illness has had me "reviewing" a lot of television. One of the best shows out there is Medium. The acting and writing are terrific. There are so few shows that show a sustained, loving relationship between a husband and wife. Frankly, I can't think of any and there are few in fiction as well. Usually a show or a book series stops cold when a couple get married, because "marriage isn't exciting past the courtship". However, Medium consistently shows a wonderful family life that is not quite too good to be true. I don't know if there is a real Joe Dubois out there, but Allison has it made. I also love the kids, the humor, the mysteries, and, of course, the paranormal aspects of the show as well. In simple it is a wonderful, intelligent show and I hope the writers and production team can keep up the good work for a few more years. I bought the series so I can enjoy the shows whenever I wish, commercial free. It was worth it and I will buy all new seasons as they come to market as well.』
(MEDIUM is the best) 『I cannot praise this show highly enough. For me it is the best network drama on television and has been ever since its very first episode in season one. This show definitely shows what bringing A++ caliber film stars to television can achieve. Patricia Arquette has always been an exemplary actress and always has tackled very demanding movies in a wide range of independant films. (She also starred in the second installment of the Nightmare On Elm Street series which is a hoot to watch.) But Patricia Arquette is a true artist and acting in her hands is a true craft.
Medium since the beginning has played out like a film brought to television. There are stories in each episode but also an underlying plot and theme that has carried out throughout all for seasons. It is one, exceptional, continuous drama becoming more involving with each episode.
The show is intellingent, scary and handles the main premise of Alison being able to receive messages from the dead with seriousness and true credibility. The show is never gimicky. We follow Alsion throughout all the seasons as she learns how to use her gift and how it affects her life. This show also shows an excellent realistic portrayal of an average middle class family. Alison, her husband Joe and the three kids are excellently cast and very believable.
The entire cast of this show is exemplary and all are given an opportunity to shine but it does rest highly on the shoulders of Patricia Arquette. She is practically in every scene. Patricia has also won an Emmy for her performance in this series and been nominated every year. Without her the heart and soul of the show would be gone.
This four season set is an amazing deal. I have purchased each season as it came out but for those who haven't purchased any yet or want to get an introduction to the show purchasing them in this bulk offer is much cheaper than purchasing them all individually.
This show is one that once viewed must be owned. You will want to watch the episodes over and over for it is so complex there is always something new to discover. So for quality drama, acting and amazing suspense and scares done to the highest caliber this series is a must.
Alison DuBois is based on a real person and to travel along her journey is an amazing treat. Highly recommend.』 『Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 09/09/2008』

I've owned the VHS version for 5 years. It is now available on DVD. Basic tap steps are explained and demonstrated clearly in a dance studio class setting. The teacher demonstrates the steps and the students then practice with the music. You and your little dancer will want to join them. Our six-year-old wanted to use the video to practice even before doing homework. The songs help maintain interest and make the steps easy to learn, remember and practice. One warning-- you will find the tunes rattling around in your head after a few practice sessions.
A child can easily use this video to develop a strong foundation for future dance class experiences. We use the video to reinforce and build on what is being taught in a once a week tap class. Our six-year-old practiced with the tape just three or four times before her first tap class yet she had picked up enough for her teacher to ask if she had taken lessons before.
I've sat through many dance classes with two little girls and know how difficult it is for a nondancing adult to help a young child practice at home. Young children often find it difficult to remember what was taught in class and cannot practice alone. This tape helps bridge the gap.
I have not been able to find the Sweet Taps cd or audio cassette, but would love to have it. I also purchased the Dancing for Kids DVD with Rosemary Borass. The Tot Tap class uses the same music featured so prominently in Land of Sweet Taps. The basic steps are taught but the combinations are simplified for working with younger children. For beginning tappers, Land of Sweet Taps is more comprehensive and older children will find it more challenging. Younger children will be able to grow into Sweet Taps. A good buy.』
(Great for Beginning Tappers) 『If you are looking for a great intro to tap for 6 years and up I highly reccommend this video and the accompanying cd. The dances really explain themselves which gives you a little break. My dancers have really picked up on the lyrics and come in singing. This is a great video.』 『Studio: Kultur Release Date: 07/25/2006』

The rope was very long and as she played with it her parents noticed that the rope did go around her neck. The rope was shortened no problem. I would recomend this toy but with instructions to shorten the rope.』
(Better than expected) 『Pull toys seem like they are a dime a dozen, but this one is GREAT!! 18month-old LOVES it and has loved it from the minute she opened the present. No Plastic sounds, no batteries, just good old-fashioned FUN!』
(Adorable, classic wood toy) 『My little one loves to pull her hippo all around the house. It's crafted very nicely... as are most Melissa&Doug wooden toys. I like that it's a classic wooden toy, a nice change from so many of her plastic, bells-and-whistle type toys. Even though she was able to walk around for awhile, she didn't really start to enjoy the toy for several months after walking/running. My only complaint is that the gadget/wheel that creates the open-and-shut mouth motion often falls off alignment. I have to manually realign the wheel to get it to open and shut again. Not a huge deal, but still somewhat inconvenient being its only "main" feature. I've also seen this toy in the frog version... which is also really cute.』
(Wonderful Toy) 『After multiple children, the toy is still as cute as it was when originally purchased and ready to be passed on to our 11month old daughter. It has been thrown against walls, taken down stairs, running with a toddler, yet still works and has never had to be fixed. What can i say, its tons of fun and works great. Plus it survived this long.
That is exactly why we started buying only wood toys for our children-->plastic ones break to easily and its hard to fix them. Wood toys can easily be fixed and can be handed down generations to come. Plus they are hand made and parents can admire the craftsmanship. 』

The characters are solid, accessible, and memorable. You will relate to Julie and her mother Betty like they were people you know. The relationships in this book are believable and seasoned with angst and humor.
Betty tries to make her daughter Julie get together with her crush Michael Slayton, the same crush she secretly ended when her daughter was only 17 and Michael 21. Now after 20 years and many heartbreaks, Betty realizes that Michael is Julie's real love and she tries to reunite them in a dessert class.
Irresistibly delicious this book is about the power of love and the undying love of a Mother who will try her best to give her daughter the love of her life using chocolate and other amazingly sweet concoctions. 』
(Decadent!) 『I LOVE Sarah's Bubbles series. I am a Bubbles head&proud of it (yes, I am a yahoo carrying member). I am also going to say, my heart belongs to the Bubbles series¬hing Sarah writes will be as good as Ms. Yablonsky's hilarious series! For real! I mean, hello Bubbles Unbound scooped up the Agatha Award for best first novel in 2001. That said&out of the way, I will say Sarah has whipped up a savory morsel in Sweet Love. This is Sarah's best stand alone to date. Sweet Love is delectable. Sarah Strohmeyer has created a beautifully written novel that dares you to care&get invested in Julie's life. Julie is a single mom doing her best to do the right thing. When I think of Julie, the word mosaic comes to mind. Sweet Love is a heart-rending novel rich w/ emotion. Michael is a brilliant gem. He simply steals the show. Julie's mom, Betty, reminds us just how precious our mom's are. Strohmeyer hits a home run delving into the heart of mother/daughter dynamics. Strohmeyer shimmers as she tenderly&realistically gives us a peek into the lives of Julie&Betty. *Tissues*. Sweet Love is a quick read that packs an ardent wallop. Strohmeyer's writing is so riveting, you can't help but empathize w/ Strohmeyer's delightful cast of characters. Strohmeyer's Sweet Love is as frothy as a chocolate soufflé. Sheer bliss. Sweet Love is a bit slow to simmer but as soon as Michael appears the book bubbles over w/ yummy goodness. Strohmeyer tosses in a plot twist @ the end that took me by surprise. Kudos to Sarah for penning such a charming novel that invites you into the hearts&souls of the sweetest characters to come along in a long time. The cover is heavenly, huh? Magnolia bakery anyone...
』
(I ate it up) 『This is the first Sarah Strohmeyer book I've read, and it definitely won't be the last. I was expecting a light-hearted romance and while it had that element, it also tugged at my heart. Highly recommended.』
(Delightful!) 『Yum! What a wonderful book. Julie had a child with Donald, but they are no longer together. Julie and her teenage daughter, Em, live next door to her parents. Julie's mom drives her crazy with her do this, do that.
Julie's best friend Liza and her mom are in on a scheme to get Michael, Julie's crush from her childhood, and Julie together, so they put them in a dessert cooking school.
Things are looking up, when Julie's world falls apart.
What a delightful, engaging book. I became fully engrossed in it. Sarah Strohmeyer hit such a note, that I think it will stick with you for awhile.』
(As smooth and luxurious as ganache) 『Sarah Strohmeyer's "Sweet Love" follows the hectic life of single mother Julie Mueller, a TV reporter who's currently single and seriously overworked. Julie's hoping to be picked to follow the upcoming presidential campaign even as she digs up facts on the abduction and murder of a local girl. As a single mother, the case touches her deeply, and she oversteps her journalistic bounds in pursuit of the truth.
Julie lives above her parents, and her mother Betty, a breast cancer survivor, is desperate to see Julie matched up with the perfect man before she dies. Betty enrolls Julie in a dessert class by the renowned chef Renee D'Ours, much to Julie's chagrin. Julie feels herself to be a modern, liberated woman, and has no desire to be chained to the kitchen simply to appease some male whim. She feels strongly that her mother is little more than a domestic slave to her father, who disappears as soon as Betty is ill. Julie struggles with the sense that her father is constantly abandoning her mother, and can't understand why Betty stands by him despite his shortcomings.
Despite her misgivings, Julie goes to the dessert classes to discover that a) she does enjoy learning how to make sumptuous desserts, and b) her first love Michael Clayton, newly divorced, is also enrolled in the same class. Coincidence?
The rest of this sweet confection reads like a primer in dessert porn (but is thankfully calorie-free!) as Julie struggles to master elegant desserts. She also comes to grips with her bitter earlier falling-out with Michael, and she must step in when a family health crisis arrives. "Sweet Love" is a delightful read, the story of an overworked single mom looking for love and unexpectedly finding a connection to her own mother in the kitchen, the last place she ever planned on being.』 『A delicious novel about the power of love-and dessert-by the national bestselling author.
Betty Mueller believed she did right by secretly ending her daughter Julie's relationship with Michael Slayton, a wild, older neighborhood heartthrob. Twenty years later, Betty has come to realize her mistake. Workaholic Julie is now the single mom of a teenager-and Michael, the one man who could make her happy, has been out of her life for the past two decades.
Determined to make amends, Betty schemes to reunite the couple in a dessert class. And with the love of her mother and daughter, her own determination, and lots of chocolate, Julie's chance for romance is all the higher...』

(Sweet Revenge) 『I am a great Nora Roberts fan. I read her books all the time.
Just finished reading Sweet Revenge. I don't know how I mised this book because it was written 1989-90.
It is so good. Written with a middle eastern background that is so current today. It is deep and involved but with the redeeming value of love and loyalty, as always in Nora Roberts books.
She has a way of making families out of non-related peoples when there is no blood-to-blood relationship. Love her intricate characters and plot turns.
This is fabulous and holds your attention from beginning to end.
Great!』
(Great Story!!) 『The characters were well constructed and the storyline pulled me in almost immediately. I could barely put it down. I will definitely be reading this one again』
(Least favorite of all) 『I used to love reading Nora Roberts....and then I read this book. it was a big disappointment for me. The whole completely evil, abusive and narrow minded portrayal of a Muslim country seriously turned me off. I doubt she has actually visited any Muslim country to begin with. i used to love her books but after reading this one I can't bear to pick up another one of her books.』
(propaganda against Islam) 『Before reading this book,nora roberts was one of my fav writers,not anymore.I never thought anybody could use a romantic fiction novel to badmouth Islam.i wish i could list the absolutely wrong things that she has written about Muslims,but i m afraid the list is too long.All that i want to say is that i have been utterly disgusted by this novel,and am amazed that somebody christian with good faith n values,as i suppose she is,could insult any religion like that..when iam sure all she knows is stories she overheard from here n there,n has no first hand knowledge or experience in this regard .I just hope that authors like her dont endup polluting the minds n thinking of simple innocent people,and im sure like me,alot of people after reading this novel,would never read any of Nora Roberts'novels again.I pray to God to give her n all other people like her the wisdom to see the truth.』 『 New York Timesbestselling author Nora Roberts delivers a romantic thriller that will keep readers guessing and pages turningâthe story of a woman who wants one thing most of allâ¦until she meets a man who wants her more.

(Thorougly enjoyable read!) 『Sweet and Low is a fascinating blend of history, business and family dynamics. Richard Cohen has an excellent story telling ability and sense of humor. Unfortunately the greed and deceit seen in his extended family do not surprise me. Mr. Cohen is surprisingly able to tell the story without a whole lot of bitterness which gives it added appeal. 』
(A dysfunctional family business) 『It's a testament to Cohen's writing and perhaps my own quirkiness that I found the history of artificial sweeteners so fascinating, but of course the real story here is the wackiness of this family and the business that they run. I loved the scene early in the book when the author's older brother learned at an early age that the dice (or in this case the little scraps of paper) were stacked against him, and he was not the favorite grandchild.
Both a personal memoir and the story of a hugely successful American business, Sweet and Low, combines a few different genres, and ends up being a page-turning read with plenty of humor throughout.』
(Wiseguys don't make good writers) 『Rich Cohen tells his family's classic immigrant success story ... and how the family eventually became torn apart. He deserves tremendous credit for trying to bring balance to events that have brought heartache and shame to his family, and for separating fact from fiction. However, Cohen's writing style is hard to follow, and he presents the events in a strange arrangement, so the book is frustrating to read.
First, the basics. Two young Jews emigrate to New York's Lower East side in the early 1900s. They meet and marry, but they die young and leave an orphaned son, Ben Eisenstadt. As with so many other first-generation Americans, Ben pulls himself up through hard work, intelligence, and savvy.
Ben goes to law school and finishes near the top of his class. But it's 1929, and he can't find clients during the Depression. Ben helps out at the diner owned by his father-in-law, and eventually he takes it over and makes it a big success. Then, when the diner business slows, he transforms the property into a tea-packing operation. But that business is not doing well, and his wife suggests packing sugar in bags, similar to tea. Eisenstadt re-engineers a tea bag packer for sugar, and he presents the idea to Brooklyn's sugar refiners; they steal the idea from him (he didn't patent it). Rather than fuming, he and his son Marvin set out a few years later to invent a good-tasting sugar substitute -- and Sweet-and-Low is born. For the next two decades they prosper, and then it comes crashing down -- complete with federal indictments and family members written out of wills.
The story is told by one of the grandsons of Ben Eisenstadt: Rich Cohen, a magazine journalist. Cohen's mother was one of four children of Ben, and the only one who left the New York area (moving to Chicago with her husband). That led to an estrangement that permeated Cohen's life and was the impetus for the book.
While acknowledging his anger at his parents' treatment by the Eisenstadts, Cohen seeks to find out the truth about the family. How did it rise to success, and why did it crumble? Which of the familiy's extraordinary stories are true, and which are exaggerations, lies, or rationalizations about the past. His grandmother hiding guns for the Jewish mafia? Probably. His grandfather at the diner's lunch counter andn overhearing a conversation between a police detective and an accused embezzler, whereby he offers his services as a lawyer to the embezzler? True, and written about by the New York Times. Marvin, the second generation leader of the Sweet-and-Low operation, claiming ignorance that a mafia-connected guy on his payroll was stealing from the cmopany? Not plausible. Another daughter, Gladys, unwilling to leave the house for 30 years, but controlling the family by phone? That's what seems to have happened.
Amazing stories, and Cohen does a great job of teasing out the facts through voluminous research. However, the book falters when Cohen toggles back-and-forth between the family tales and points he wants to make about business and society. These trends include the tie between sugar and slavery, the tie between sugar and obesity, and the decline of American manufacturing and of Brooklyn after the 1950s. These sections are too short to be comprehensive, or even substantially accurate. They are weird impositions in a family epic. Also, Cohen's tone shift is distracting. Sometimes, he's a Brooklyn wiseguy (though he grew up near Chicago), and sometimes he's an aggrieved and confused grandson, and sometimes he's a poet about industrial decline. He's not very good at any of those styles, though he'd probably be best at sticking to the Wiseguy style that is his stock-in-trade in magazines.
Bottom line. It's an interesting tale for the right kind of reader. As a person with some interest in New York and immigrants in the 20th century, I found a lot to like in the book.』
(Sweet&Enjoyable) 『What an easy and fun read - I'll never look at my sugar substitute the same way again! I especially enjoyed Cohen's style featuring sarcasm at its best. This book has it all - family drama, modern Jewish family history, pop culture and - my favorite - dysfunctional family dynamics. Definitely worth reading.』 『Sweet and Lowby Richard Cohen bills itself as "the unauthorized true story of one Brooklyn family." And what a family. Cohen, the disinherited grandson of the artificial sweetener Sweet 'n' Low's inventor, combines two parts Horatio Alger-memoir, one part cultural commentary and three parts personal criticism into a fascinating snapshot of American life, immigrant experience and a broad sermon on the perils of fortune. Cohen's maternal grandfather, Ben Eisenstadt, a mid-grade inventor and Brooklyn restaurateur concocts the idea of selling sugar in individual packets--a revolutionary concept in the age of crusty, unsanitary sugar dispensers. His idea stolen by the big sugar companies, Cohen squeaks out a post-war living selling his packets in their shadow until he and his son, Marvin, invent the formula for the saccharine sweetener and catch the first big wave of the American diet craze. Those little pink packets create a vast fortune soon tarnished by interfamily squabbles, Mafia influence, FDA edicts and, mostly, the baser aspects of human nature--greed, jealousy and pride. Cohen, a writer forRolling StoneandThe New Yorker, among other publications, weaves a compelling and often biting narrative about his mother's family. Using those pink packets as metaphor, he paints a dystopic portrait of the American Dream, that, in his family's case, was as devoid of nourishment as any artificial sweetener.--Jeremy Pugh』 『
Sweet and Lowis the bittersweet, hilarious story of Ben Eisenstadt, who invented sugar packets and Sweet'N Low, and amassed the great fortune that would later destroy his family. It is a story of immigrants, Jewish gangsters, and Brooklyn; of sugar, saccharine, obesity, and diet crazes; of jealousy, betrayal, and ambition. Disinherited along with his mother and siblings, Rich Cohen has written a rancorous, colorful history of his extraordinary family and their pursuit of the American dream.
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Great Stuff) 『I have been cycling for over 20 years. I have used numerous products that claim to prevent chaffing and this is the first one that truly does. I've used TBS now for 100's of pain free miles. Great stuff.』
(Best Shammy Cream Ever!) 『I'm a triathlete and cyclist and I've tried quite a few shammy creams! This is by far the BEST! It's comfortable and long-lasting and as an added bonus it's all natural! I use it on all my long rides - girls need shammy butter too!!!! I can't live without it!』
(Perfect Anti-Chafing Cream!) 『I recently used That Butt Stuff during a 12 hour adventure race. After trying other products and still walking away from races with baboon-butt, I was delighted to use a product that worked! I put a healthy dose on before the race and didn't even need to re-apply. The cream worked perfect and I finished the race 1st place overall with no chafing pain at all!』
(Can't Ride Without It) 『That Butt Stuff is a great product. I love the fact that it is all natural but I love the fact that it works even more. Before using That Butt Stuff I could not get in the saddle and ride longer than 15-20 minutes without extreme chaffing. I am now able to ride without issues. As a triathlete I am coming out of the water to get on the bike and the cream still works.
All in all great product.』
(That Butt Stuff....Great Stuff) 『As a triathlete who runs and rides, I love this product. Works long enough for all of my long runs or rides every time. I used to get chaffed pretty bad running, but not since I've been using that butt stuff. Thanks Adam for a great product!

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Warm even on the coldest days!) 『This bunting keeps my son warm on even the coldest blustery Boston days. After reading the other reviews, I bought the the 18 month instead of the 12 month (my son is very tall for his age) and while there is extra space, it hasn't been a problem. I like how the feet and the hands close off so I don't have to worry about mittens and boots. The only "issue" I've had with the suit is the hood has no adjustments to it's always way too big but I just put a hat on under it.』
(light in weight but keeps warm) 『when I first saw the product I hesitated if it is going to keep my baby warm enough or not because it is not fluffy as it seems. But after a while, I saw the bunting is enough for even colder weather than I thought. You can inclose the hand and foot openings to use it as a rumper. The color is lilac and it is very girly, please note that :) Highly recommended.』
(Serves its Purpose) 『This suit is perfect for your little one-- whether it's time to play in the snow, or just plain freezing outside. It's so easy to slip on and off. No complaints. My 10-month-old doesn't seem to mind wearing it, so I'm happy I ordered it.』
(Snow Bunting) 『This was really nice. It was not as heavy as what we thought it would be. Order for a 5 month old baby. Went with too big of size as most things are too small. But this true to size. It would no doubt keep a baby warm if you did not have a cold winter. Very light weight and not bulky . Easy to get in and out of for babies or rather the parents.』
(Supper Cuddly) 『This suit is just adorable, versitile, warm and perfect for a child 9 months to maybe 14 months. Probably longer! My daughter is 10 months and has been wearing it for more than a month. The hands&feet have pocket sleeves, so they can either be covered or free. There is a simple zip and a top snap at the neck that doesn't come undone. The hood is not tight or cinchable, which at first I wished was, but when a hat is worn the baby is plenty warm...and the hood is not overbearing to the baby as some of those coat hoods can be. Much easier to just put this on over whatever she's wearing and hit the road! I plan to get a bigger one just like it for next winter.』 『Zip your infant girl in the Columbia Snow Powder Down Bunting when you head out for a winter sleigh ride. This 450-fill down bunting covers your little one in warmth from head to toe while you sing carols and sip hot cider. The soft to the touch taffeta lining keeps her comfortable for the long haul, and the hood pulls up to protect her ears from the wind. Open the full-length zipper when you need to change her diaper, and fold over the hand and foot flaps to prevent winters chill from nipping at her digits.
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (cute but not very durable) 『I bought a purple and a pink one for my two girls. It was a little too large for the toddler but fit fine on my preschooler. After a couple of days the ribbons on both of them started to unravel. I put a little nail polish on the ends and they are fine now. Also one of the flowers popped off the pink one. A little hot glue and it will be fine. These are cute but not very durable. If I had the time I could have made some a little stronger. But in the end I am happy. They weren't that expensive and the girls enjoy playing dress up with them.』 『 This stunning halo is the perfect accessory for a pixie or fairy costume.
