It takes a while to learn where everything is, but it is usable and I think I am going to enjoy using it.

Still recovering from the trauma inflicted upon her by Aaron, Magdelena Yoder foolishly agrees to let her cook, Freni, host the East Coast Delacies cooking contest at her place of business, The Penn Dutch Inn. The top prize is one hundred thousand dollars. Entries are by invitation only and Freni is one of the contestants.

Obviously, all the contestants badly want to win. However, the sponsor, George Mitchell, is not a friendly person and is actually held in utter distaste by almost everyone involved in the contest. Someone either needed to win more than anyone else or intensely loathed George because the obnoxious sponsor is murdered. Local police chief Melvin Stolzful leans towards Freni being the culprit. This forces Magdelena to do her own sleuthing in order to prove her chef is innocent.

The rich and famous who have stayed at this inn are quite a droll group in terms of their relationship with the proprietor, who finds them very under-whelming and amusing! ly English. Tamar Myers is back on the right buggy with this humorous culinary mystery that adds an authentic feel to the Pennsylvania-Dutch country. The meticulously researched insight into the Amish and Mennonites brings alive these cultures to the reader better than any travelogue could ever do. The who-done-it is a well cooked puzzler. Interestingly, the heroine is a better, more rounded character since she lost her love interest (see the previous book). The book includes recipes from local cuisine that are delicious. However, before readers eat and drink, they should be wary that these recipes come with a high fat content (that why this reviewer tested them on her spouse), but like the novel the are delicious.

This DVD contains a very crisp, virtually flawless copy of this pretty weird but visually beautiful black and white movie. The plot is inspired by Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians: People are holed up on an island in the Mediterranean and somebody is killing them off one by one. There is quite some gore and brutality. One character’s face is covered with blood throughout the movie, although one would think he has plenty of occasions to wash it off. Jayne Mansfield’s eye makeup starts running, too. What’s more, she has a shiner (result of a fight with an other lady on a small fishing boat)! She basically plays a parody of herself and is quite effective in that role. Cinematography and set design are of high quality and make Dog eat Dog something like an offbeat arthouse movie. Did Quentin Tarantino ever watch it? The whole set up reminded me repeatedly of his Reservoir Dogs.

Interesting bonus material contains two short b&w newsreel items, one about Mansfield’s visit to Budapest with then husband Micky Hargitay – apparently made by a Hungarian crew for Hungarian moviegoers (the visit was made en route to the set of Dog eat Dog in Yugoslavia). The second is a very short announcment of Mansfield’s untimely death with stock footage showing her with the British Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret (of all people). Echoes from the past …
Dog Eat Dog!

I’ve greatly enjoyed using the Garmin Forerunner 305 for my marathon training. I previously used my iPhone for similar functionality, but was having problems with its consistency. I’ve had no such problems with this watch! I was afraid it would be too big, but I don’t even notice I’m wearing it. Great info in one look, and good battery life.

I bought Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student but the only part of it that I’ve really used is the Excel part. The software appears to be well written. When you add all the capabilities in it, I think it’s a very good deal for around $100.00. It’s got hundreds of built in mathematical, scientific, statistical, and financial functions. It allows you to build and work with tables of data in a manner similar to working with databases. You can do graphs. That’s a pretty sophisticated capability that allows you to show them in various formats. You can do scenarios and what if types of studies. The ability to generate and modify Pivot Table Reports on the fly is an amazing capability all by itself. I’m impressed and I haven’t even started to work with Word and Powerpoint yet. There’s even more. You can create and read XML files, import and export data from and to other databases, Publish Worksheets on the web so others can view them, print, share your workbook with other users, etc., etc., etc. What I’ve worked with appears to work well. No software is perfect and this software isn’t either, but it’s very, very good. I always test it to see if it’s doing what I want it to do. It has passed the test just about every time. Where it hasn’t, I only needed to tweak it a little to get what I wanted out of it. That’s a good software.

title says it all. Transcend memory on Amazon was the cheapest per gb (at given class 6 speed) I found, which is about all you can compare among different sd cards. Haven’t had any problems with Transcend cards since I’ve started buying them about 6 months ago.
EAT NOT THIS FLESH

I do have a few things that i dont like. I hate how it doesn’t leave books you haven’t read yet marked as new. Plus I hate that books go on sale but yet Kindle books still say the same … therefore more then paperbacks. I bought my kindle because I heard books were cheaper but really they aren’t.

The way we read the Bible as nearly as important as that it’s read: that’s professor Eugene Peterson’s message in EAT THIS BOOK: A CONVERSATION IN THE ART OF SPIRITUAL READING. His is more than a set of reflections: it’s the second in a five-volume work on spiritual theology and maintains the Scriptures should be read – and lived – as God’s word. From the nature of language and the practice of scripture translations to an account of his own popular Bible translation THE MESSAGE, EAT THIS BOOK invites a broader perspective on Biblical study than those which advocate using the Bible for self-serving purposes.

Eat This Book A

As a kid who grew up in Brooklyn, NY, I always enjoyed running over to our Italian friends for dinner – our family is Jewish. These recipes remind me of the old style Italian cooking I used to enjoy at our neighbors and its great knowing what these big stars enjoy. If your kind of Italian food is a can of Ragu then this might not be for you but if you love to sautee garlic in olive and enjoy a real sauce then this is the source for your next meal.
