1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2003-11-05

I also purchased my crockpot in order to make quick meals with a minimum of fuss as I have little to no time to cook during the week. I assumed that it would follow that crockpot recipies would be relatively simple and quick to complete, but not so with this book. The recipes required more time and effort that I was prepared to give. I never use this book.

Gee, did the other reviewer and I use the same cookbook? We have Mable's original Crockery Cookbook and now this one. In both, the recipes are easy to follow. Cheesecloth is easy to buy in the supermarket and we don't use trivets in the crockpot (canning rings do the job nicely, too). Both my wife and I take turns selecting a dish and do some prep work the night before (chopping vegetables, browning if need be). In the AM, it takes just a few minutes to take the ingredients out of the refrigerator and setting up the crockpot. The house smells heavenely when we come home. We use her recipes at least 3 times a week and have even made cakes and breads in the crockpot as well. A winner!

1 out of 5 stars Too much trouble.......2002-11-07

I read the reviews of Mabel Hoffman's cookbooks and bought them on the strength of those reviews. I'm sorry I did.

I use a crockpot to make my life simpler. Ms. Hoffman's recipes usually require either cheesecloth, a crockpot trivet, or both. Sometimes, you have to prepare the food before placing in the crockpot. The food may be marvelous, but as a working woman, I'm not going to do all these things.

I believe I copied out 3-5 recipes per each book of Ms. Hoffman's that I bought. If you enjoy fussy crockpot cooking, these may be the books for you.

        Book Description

        Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

        3 out of 5 stars Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

        Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

        5 out of 5 stars Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

        Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

        5 out of 5 stars Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

        There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

        For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

        5 out of 5 stars Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

        It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

        4 out of 5 stars History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

        Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

        I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

        Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

        Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
        Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

        I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

        This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

                        4 out of 5 stars Basic Information for a New Quilter.......2007-05-07

                        I'm new to quilting, and this little book (it's only 32 pages long) is the first quilting book I've bought. Mitchell provides basic information on everything from tools and materials, to how to set up your workspace, to how to "package" and drape your quilt so that you can machine quilt it. The best part was the description of binding the quilt. I was completely confused about binding, but Mitchell cleared it all up. If you're just starting out or you're curious about quilting, this is a nice, simple book to begin with.

The chapter on "Basic Information" provides information on selecting supplies, care and storage of quilts, measurements, etc. I have already started one of the many quilts I'll make from this book.

                          1 out of 5 stars Accuracy Counts.......2006-06-13

                          I purchased this book last week. While I have been sewing since a child, quilting is a new passion. I purchased the fabrics for the "Water Baby Quilt" and cut the pieces out according to the directions. There are NO LESS THAN 4 printing errors in the dimensions called for in the book. There may be more, I just haven't found them yet. I have only made it to step 2 in the stitching directions. I was quite disappointed in this book. A "Beginner's Guide" should be just that - a pattern an inexperienced quilter/sewer can follow without having to reason why the pieces are not fitting. I tried to contact the publisher by means of the web address in the book, but the address doesn't exist. This makes me very leary of spending any more of my hard earned money on books by this publisher. I am also leary of trying any of the other patterns without studying them in detail and making a sample block from scraps, just to make sure the pattern is accurate. I would not spend money on this book.

                          5 out of 5 stars A book to get you machine quilting your own quilts.......2007-09-28

                          Have you done everything in quilting BUT actually quilt the project? This book will get you through the quilting process with ease.

                          The first 30 pages of the 78 page book goes over the basics of everything a person would need two make their quilt ready to machine quilt. You know, things like types of batting, batting supplies (such as pins and bastings sprays), sewing machine needles, threads, helper tools (like clamps and quilting gloves) and the sewing machine and work space needed to create a successful machine quilting project. Ms. Sloan also explains types of quilting in this section as well so you will understand when a pattern says: "free motion, stippling, in the ditch, outline and echo quilting". There are plenty of photos so you can see what these types of quilting stitches look like.

                          Ms. Sloan also talks about layering, pin basting, and trouble shooting things like skipped stitches. Her mantra is PRACTISE, PRACTISE, PRACTISE! And you thought you were through with school! The last bits of information in this section talks about pre-printed panels, table runners, wall hanging and queen sized quilts.

                          WHEW! If that wasn't enough information for one book, Ms. Sloan goes on to provide projects so you can test out her instructions. The first project is a table runner, complete with fabric requirements and cutting and sewing directions. She then provides other color ways. There are two wall hangings ---little girls sewing and sunflowers, a throw in a snowball block pattern, and a quilt with matching pillow shams done in a Butterfly theme. The final seven pages contain very basic instructions on piecing, appliqué, pressing, cutting and binding your projects.

                          For anyone interested in learning to machine quilt or anyone who has been afraid to attempt it for fear of ruining all the hard work up to that point, this book will be one of the best you ever purchased. As it states on the cover, "Pat's School House" will get you going in the right direction.

                          Book Description

                          In "Children's Spaces from Zero to Ten", interiors writer stylist and mother of two Judith Wilson shows how homes can be adapted for children without surrendering order and good taste, while also providing children with their own spaces to explore and enjoy. Whether you're adapting a sophisticated, child-free zone for the arrival of a new baby or starting from scratch because your small children have outgrown your current home, some serious thinking is required. Children's needs may seem obvious, but their demands change with alarming speed, making planning ahead a necessity. This is even more crucial with a new baby. As unlikely as it seems, that gurgling infant kicking on a blanket will all too soon demand a space and life of its own. "Children's Spaces from Zero to Ten" helps you to plan all the essential practical aspects of children's rooms and provides plenty of affordable ideas and inspiration when it comes to their design and decoration. Judith Wilson looks at rooms for children between birth and ten years old, with chapters on babies' rooms, rooms for girls(how to cope with the pink flowery phase), rooms for boys(how to avoid the military look), and shared bedrooms(how to create a room that works for multiple occupants). There are also chapters on sensible storage and areas that children and adults share- bathrooms, play areas, eating areas, and outside space. "Children's Spaces from Zero to Ten" won't maintain your hard-won, carefully designed space at the expense of your children's physical or creative freedom. Instead, it contains a wealth of inspiration drawn from the homes of real families, with real kids, which amply prove that children and great design can happily coexist without compromising on style.

                          1 out of 5 stars Spartan, uninspired kids rooms.......2007-06-16

                          I was very disappointed in this book. There were very few pages dealing with baby's rooms, regardless of the title. This author (a photography stylist...NOT an interior designer) has an apparent fear of color and visual interest. If your tastes run to the highly modern and institutional, you may find some inspiration, but if your interested in anything other than cold, white, spartan surroundings for your child, I'd steer clear of this book. Granted, the photography of these sterile rooms is lovely...but I was not interested in how to stylishly photograph unadorned spaces...I was looking for inspiration to create an imaginative, innovative nursery for my son. I also purchased her other book focused more exclusively on babies...and was even more surprised at her take on the ideal surroundings for babies. They looked like elegant snapshots of an underfunded orphanage. At least I purchased the book used. Keep looking!

                          5 out of 5 stars Still inspires.......2005-01-16

                          Even though this book is a couple of years old, I still find it inspiring.
                          Debi Treloar has a way of photographing everyday life so the beauty of it stands out.
                          Judith Wilsons text is helpful and with lots of useful, practical advice. She knows children and links this knowledge very well with ideas that are not only decorative, but also functional.
                          The style is mainly modern and urban, but followers of romantic country will also find some inspiration. Most of us like a bit of both - and maybe that's why I find this book so enjoyable.

                          4 out of 5 stars Appeals to all tastes.......2003-04-29

                          This book is fantastic, it has a wide range of contemporary, classical and eclectic designs (with a unique twist). This book is overflowing with great unusual ideas, however reading it just once won't do the book any justice. The stockist and suppliers page at the back of the book is invaluable, as most items in the book is easily accessible (eg:IKEA). If you like plain, boring frilly bedrooms, then this book is NOT for you!

                          This book is so Nice! The vivid colors and styles of the rooms in this book make you want to go get your saw and paint bucket immediately. Great ideas. Nice forms of design. The babies in the book are cute too! Nice resource index in the back for go getters!

                          This is a truly beautiful book. And it's about time it came along. No more circus animals painted on walls and other run of the mill decorating ideas. These are beautiful - modern ideas for creating spaces for children. Look out Martha Stewart.
