Rachael Ray 30 Minute Get Real Meals

0 comments




No pasta? No dessert? No way! Everything in moderation, says Rachael Ray. After all, some days only chocolate or spaghetti will hit the spot.

In Rachael Ray’s 30-Minute Get Real Meals, the bestselling cookbook author and Food Network star serves up another helping of creative, hassle-free recipes that are ready to rock your tastebuds in less than thirty minutes. The latest addition to Rachael’s runaway hit series of 30-Minute Meals cookbooks is designed for cooks who want to look and feel great but long for the fun and the flavor that’s missing from their extreme low-carb meals. Why fill your shopping cart and your stomach with processed, low-carb cereals and breads that taste like cardboard when you can eat the foods you crave? Here, at last, are recipes for those who just cannot and will not live totally carb-free: Pasta dinners made mostly with proteins and vegetables and only a couple of ounces of pasta per servings, fresh Thai and Mexican lettuce wraps, take-out-style stir-frys, and tons of burger ideas—with and without the buns. And when you’ve just got to satisfy that sweet tooth, even nonbakers (like Rachael) will flip for Nutty Creamsicle Pie, Stuffed Roasted Strawberries, and other surprisingly easy dessert recipes.

With more than 150 new dishes, plenty of time-saving tips, and a generous serving of Rachael's “you can do it” attitude, 30-Minute Get Real Meals proves you don’t have to go to extremes to eat healthy.

Rachael Ray confesses that there’s pasta in her pantry, and she isn’t afraid to admit that chili is just an excuse to snack on corn chips. On the other hand, she also confesses that it’s more fun to shop for clothes when she’s eating fewer carbs. So what’s a carb-frustrated cook to do these days? Don’t go to extremes, says the force of nature behind Food Network’s 30-Minute Meals. Get real! With a little creativity and less than half an hour, now you can watch your carbs and eat them, too. Satisfy your carb-starved cravings and still mind that waistline with more than 150 healthy, delicious recipes—including Rachael’s first-ever section devoted just to desserts:
•Snacks and Super-Supper Snacks
•Burgers Gone Wild
•Take a Dip: Fondues
•Salads that Stack Up
•That’s Souper
•Well-Rounded Square Meals
•Pasta: Come Home Again
•Desserts? Yes, Desserts!

Roses Are Red by James Patterson

0 comments

The Mastermind has targeted him as his next victim! And James Patterson's clever 
police detective/psychologist Dr. Alex Cross has his hands full in his latest episode “Roses 
Are Red.” And while his titles may reflect a “simple” line of nursery rhymes, this book (and all its 
aspects) is far from simple. The Mastermind, twisted and evil psychopath that he is, taunts 
the police with his phone calls and letters. He has thus far foiled police efforts as he has 
successfully managed to rob banks (using the families of the robbers as hostages, whom he 
executes if anything goes wrong!), and creating other evil scenarios. As with other Cross 
books by Patterson, the estimable doctor has his own agenda of personal problems as 
well--his divorce, his daughter's illness, his relationship with Christine, his lover, and 
working with his FBI partner--the beautiful Ms Cavaliere. Fast-paced as usual, “Roses Are 
Red” crescendos into an explosive climax and fans of Patterson will not be disappointed!

ABCMurders by Agatha Christie

0 comments

Synopsis (from back cover): A is for Mrs. Ascher – fatally attacked in Andover. B is for Betty Barnard – strangled on the beach in Bexhill. C is for Sir Carmichael Clarke – now a corpse in Churston. If nothing else, the murderer knew is ABCs. But the alphabetical assassin would need to know more that that to outwit the world’s cleverest detective…Hercule Poirot!


Review: This is the first Agatha Christie story I have read, although I am familiar with the Hercule Poirot series on television. This was also my first foray into this genre; most “mysteries” I have read are actually gory crime thrillers. It was refreshing to have a main character, the dapper Poirot, instead of some gritty detective with emotional problems. Poirot is brilliant, polished, and funny. He’s even well-adjusted. I also appreciated the fact that the story was told from the perspective of Poirot’s friend, Captain Hastings, meaning that I was left out of Poirot’s thought-processes, so every twist and turn was a surprise.


The story starts out with the arrival of a teasing letter at Poirot’s home. It warns of something happening in Andover on a specific day. When Alice Ascher is found dead, it’s obvious that the murderer is engaged in a lethal game with Poirot. The cast of characters keeps expanding as more murders occur, including family members and distraught boyfriends. Although everyone is a suspect, there are mysterious chapters interspersed throughout the book that feature a strange man named Alexander Bonaparte Cust…A.B.C. Who is this man? What is his connection to the murders?


As the police are scrambling to try to find A.B.C. and to prevent these murders from happening on their appointed days, Poirot is using all his mental powers to try and figure out why these murders are happening. Even when it seems that the case is all locked up, Poirot still tries to understand the underlying reasons behind the crimes. It is this reason that finally blows the case wide open and provides a stunning twist at the end.


This book is a classic of Christie’s and really demonstrates her skills as the premier mystery writer. It will obviously appeal to all mystery fiction fans, but also to anyone who is curious about this classic genre. I am looking forward to reading more of Christie’s books, and especially those featuring this comically brilliant detective.

Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds

0 comments


Reviewed by Linda L. Richards


If Frank Herbert had come of age in the era of cyberpunk, his worlds might have looked like this, with a layer of Raymond Chandler thrown in for good measure. An intelligent, complicated and deliciously convoluted novel, Chasm City reminds the reader again and again that fiction isn't only about the destination. For a book to really work on all levels, the journey must be fascinating, as well.


In Chasm City the journey is riveting. Alastair Reynolds has reason to know space more intimately than most novelists and he doesn't stint on the details. The resulting story is richly imagined and beautifully realized: elements of the very best science fiction novels of all time stewed to perfection by Reynolds' own rich imagination and experience. A satisfying blend.


Professional solider Tanner Mirabel doesn't even remember his name, let alone his mission, when he wakes up in a space hospice after a 15-year journey spent in cryosleep. This amnesia is common to "slush puppies" he's told. And, in most cases, at least functional recall will be possible, if only he rests. Rest isn't in the cards, however, as he begins to remember the reason for his journey: He's come this almost unthinkable distance to kill Argent Reivich, the man responsible for the death of his employer and his employer's wife back on their home world, Sky's Edge. Mirabel feels that it's likely Reivich came on the same vessel as Mirabel, but was thawed and made his way through the hospice more quickly. To track his man, Mirabel needs to get underway before the trail grows too cold.


Bothersome, at least, is the fact that, since his reawakening, Mirabel has been having disturbing dreams about the crucified anti-hero Sky Haussmann, the historical figure who did the unthinkable in order to be the first to bring his ship from Earth to the then-uninhabited planet later nicknamed Sky's Edge. The most unsettling element of Mirabel's dreams is the fact that they contain data not included in historical records. The sum total of the facts creates a chilling picture of Haussmann and leaves even more unanswered questions for Mirabel.


The dream sequences create the novel's major subplot. They begin in Haussmann's childhood and continue in chronological order every time Mirabel closes his eyes. After awhile Mirabel's sleep isn't even necessary: the dream episodes imbed themselves in waking moments.


To complicate Mirabel's mission still further is the fact that Chasm City, and the whole Epsilon Eridani system, has been terribly altered in the time it took for Mirabel to travel there. Seven years prior to Mirabel's arrival a technological catastrophe -- the Melding Plague -- caused the once conspicuously affluent city to become an almost comic parody of itself. The plague was "... not quite a biological virus, not quite a software virus, but a strange and shifting chimera of the two." The society that the Melding Plague attacked was "supersaturated by trillions of tiny machines. ... They swarmed tirelessly through our blood. ... They clotted our brains, linking us into the Demarchy's web of near-instantaneous decision-making. We moved through virtual environments woven by direct manipulation of the brain's sensory mechanisms. ... We forged and sculpted matter on the scale of mountains..."


The Melding Plague, of course, changed all of that. Millions died and those that remain have been forced to reinvent every aspect of their existence. As a result, Chasm City is a brooding shadow of its former golden glory. The socially elite physically separated above the rest of the city in an area known as The Canopy: a place you generally don't get to without an invitation. And, of course, it's the place where Mirabel must follow Reivich in order to kill him, without an invitation.


The plot is intricate and, as promised, convoluted. However, Reynolds manages its unraveling with dark and gritty charm. As intricate as the plot, however, are the worlds Reynolds invents with such fluidity. Wholly imagined distant worlds filled with the wonders that might rationally separate us from our descendants half a millennium -- and a couple of galaxies -- into the future.


Born in Wales in 1966, Reynolds is an astrophysicist who works with the European Space Agency in Holland. Clearly, Reynolds knows space as well as anyone has a right to and his writing is not at all what you'd expect from someone with a Ph.D. in astronomy. Reynolds' prose is elegant and smart, the pacing in Chasm City is brilliant and the action is nonstop.


Chasm City is Reynolds' second novel. The first, Revelation Space, is set in the same well-imagined universe, but Chasm City is in no way a sequel. You will recognize some place names, the family names of some aristocrats, some of the technologies and the noirish qualities prevalent in this universe, but reading the first book is not required to understand what's happening in the second. A third book, Redemption Ark, is completed and will be published in the United Kingdom in 2002 and will follow with a US publication in 2003. Alastair Reynolds is well on his way. | January 2002

Beginning Android By Mark L. Murphy

0 comments

I got a review copy of this book from Apress. Here is the review.

This is a book for programmers who have a basic knowledge of Java and want to get an introduction to the elements of Android programming. The book should be useful for both professionals and hobbyists. It is easy to read and well structured, and not too extensive, which makes it comprehensible. The 350 pages do a good job at covering a fair amount of the Android API. One area that is not covered is development tools, here the book refers to the Android web site (www.android.com). Setting up a development environment for Android can be tricky if you are new to programming, so this is an area where less experienced readers are left on their own.

The book covers Android 1.5, which is an old version by now. I however found the text and the code examples useful also for Android 2.1 development. The back inside cover mentions that there is a companion eBook available. An updated eBook would be of great added value, but it should be provided for free to customers who have purchased the book, not at additional cost as seems to currently be the case.

The style of writing is clear and the text is easy to read. The book is structured into several short chapters, where each chapter covers an aspect of Android development and the related parts of the API. Each chapter begins with an introduction that explains the topics covered in the chapter. Then follows a complete, runnable, and often short and concise code example that illustrates the chapter topic. This makes the book useful as a cookbook.

One not-so-nice aspect of the text is the use of supposedly funny section titles. I find titles like “Mother, May I”, “Halt! Who Goes There?”, ”When IPC Attacks!”, and “Seeing Pestering in Action”, to be quite irritating and distracting. The subject is interesting on its own merits, and the silly section titles actually make it harder to find what you are looking for in the book. There may, however, be readers who will find the titles entertaining. Another less good aspect of the book is the code style used, with no blanks between the parts of an expression. The first chapters use the correctly spaced Java-code style, but the majority of the chapters do not, and this is bad since it can establish bad coding practices among readers (especially beginners).

It is quite common for programming books to list classes and methods in the APIs covered, something which I find superfluous since the most current API documentation is available online. This book does not provide API listings, which is positive because it makes the text more coherent and flowing. It also saves pages, and makes room for more code examples and explanatory texts, which are added values compared to the online API documentation, and a reason for buying a book.

For me, the major value of the book has been as a cookbook of code examples. The examples in the book are often short, clear, useful, and on the spot on what you want to do.

The Brethren by John Grisham

1 comments
It was the perfect crime.

Three crooked judges were doing time in a federal prison. They called themselves The Brethren and unofficially handled inmate disputes within the fences. They needed to earn some income for their eventual release so they began placing tiny ads in the back of magazines:

SWM in 20's looking for kind and discreet gentleman in 40's or 50's to pen pal with.

When the letters came in, they were screened to see if any respondents were wealthy. Those that qualified received a letter from one of the judges. The supposed author was a good-looking young man on the verge of completing drug rehab. The judges conned the pen pals in to thinking the young man was eager to meet and start a relationship.

Correspondence continued until the judges could get the true identity of the pen pal. Their crooked lawyer on the outside provided assistance. Once the pen pal's true identity was confirmed, an extortion letter was sent. The pen pals were usually wealthy, prominent, married men with a lot to lose if their secrets were revealed. The letters from The Brethren asked for X dollars in return for not outing the pen pal. When the money was received, it was deposited off shore for future use of the judges.

The scheme could go in continually, since the wealthy men couldn't report the crime. Doing so would out them and ruin their families as well.

The Brethren cast a wide net, conning men across the country. This would prove to be the beginning of the end. You see, the judges conned the wrong man, and now the government is watchingready to con The Brethren in return.

It started out as the perfect crime, but how will it end? Every involved party has a great deal to lose, including the con men and the government officials themselves. When all is said and done, will there be a winner?

It takes only a few chapters for the reader to realize that The Brethren is not the standard Grisham novel. This is not a legal thriller. Rather it is a story of three white-collar con men and a government conspiracy. There is no final showdown in the courtroom, and that may disappoint some Grisham fans.

If read with an open mind, however, The Brethren can prove to be somewhat entertaining. Grisham describes the scam in interesting detail. The only reason it works is because all of the players don't seem to be playing with a full deck and everyone is breaking the law in one way or another.

The one drawback to The Brethren is the ending, or lack thereof. Several questions were left unanswered. I found myself searching the blank end pages for the magic paragraph that would close the story. No Dice. Prepare for the vague conclusion and you won't be disappointed. Perhaps you could make up your own ending. Who knows?

That being said, The Brethren is an entertaining book. It is a good book, not a great book. The story is found in the actions and not the characters themselves, so don't expect to get lost within the pages of this Grisham work. It is better classified as light reading.

All in all a good effort by John Grisham, but I've seen better.

"The Broker" By John Grisham

0 comments

"A fancy photo of Joel Backman in the black Italian suit, impeccably tailored and detailed and groomed and looking at the camera with as much smugness as humanly possible. The hair was longer and darker, the handsome face was fleshy and wrinkle free, the waistline was thick and spoke of many power lunches and four-hour dinners. He loved wine and women and sports cars. He had a jet, a yacht, a place in Vail, all of which he'd been quite eager to talk about. The bold caption above his head read: THE BROKER – IS THIS THE SECOND MOST POWERFUL MAN IN WASHINGTON?"

The quote above accurately describes what was the essence of the main character in this novel six years ago. But things have changed a lot for Joel Backman; when the narration starts he is in jail serving twenty years for treason. His luck is about to change though, since the wheels are turning in the White House. The outgoing president, Arthur Morgan, is in the final hours of his mandate after suffering a catastrophic defeat in the recent elections. Now he is deciding which pardons to grant and is receiving pressure from the CIA to liberate the Broker. In the narration of these early events we get a first glimpse of what Grisham is capable of achieving, since he catches the reader's attention through the use of a couple witty jokes and the portrayal of the corruption associated with the process of granting pardons.

The CIA interest in liberating Backman originates in the fact that the Broker is in possession of secrets that can seriously compromise national security. The agency's plan is to release the traitor, relocate him overseas to a foreign country and then provide the groups that want to kill Backman with information regarding his place of hiding. In that way, not only will they achieve the objective of keeping him silent, but the CIA will also see which group is most eager to kill the Broker. As the plan is set in motion, we start to get glimpses of Backman's previous life and information on the reasons why he ended up in jail. This is intertwined with the present, in which we find a changed person, who is fighting to survive and concurrently take advantage of this chance at a new beginning.

The Broker is transferred to Bologna upon his release, and Grisham spends a considerable amount of time describing the Italians, the life in this beautiful country, the luscious food, impressive scenery and seductive language. I perceived this as a break from the author's usual pattern of fast-paced action, when the level of suspense is high at all times. In this case, he focuses more on providing the reader with a comprehensive vision of the main character, allowing us to understand what drives the Broker's actions and how his previous experiences have changed the man. The interesting descriptions found in this part of the novel add a very particular flair to the story and help create a level of eagerness on the reader, who will be looking forward to the point in which the action will rush towards the end.

The other important difference this novel presents compared to other works by Grisham has to do with the genre. The author is characterized for writing thrillers in a legal setting, but in this case we are in the presence of a book that belongs in the espionage category. Grisham tried to change genres before, for example with Bleachers, where the main topic is sports, but in my opinion this attempt was not successful. But Grisham will not give up, and it seems to me that he is trying to prove to himself that he can write great books in other categories. In this case even though the quality is not excellent, as it was in The Firm or A Time to Kill, Grisham delivers a powerful novel that will satisfy those that are looking for something more than nonstop action. The only reason why this novel is not excellent in my opinion is that I felt the ending was a little rushed. If this section of the book had been better developed, the experience would have been even more satisfying.

Agatha Christie : Dumb Witness

0 comments
Title :Dumb Witness By Agatha Christie
Publisher : Compass Press Large Print, (2001)
ISBN: 0-7531-6589-9
Genre: Mystery
How do you solve a murder when the only witness is a dog, who may also be the murderer? For most this would be an impossible task. But, as Agatha Christie is quick to point out, this can be done quite easily when the person working on the crime is none other than the indomitable Belgium detective, Hercule Poirot. In this case he is meritoriously assisted by Bob, a wire-haired terrier who seems to want to prove his innocence and to point out to Poirot the real culprit of the crime - if only he can get Poirot to understand him. Together, they work to clear Bob's name, and to discover who really killed Emily Arundell, Bob's mistress. Although he seems to take a backseat to Bob in this mystery, Captain Hastings, Poirot's long time assistance is also on hand to help Poirot massage his little grey cells.

This is one of Christie's more 'fun' books. The idea of the uncompromising Poirot working hand-in-hand with a dog is almost preposterous - yet Christie has woven the story line so well that it all seems remarkably natural. Emily lived in Littlegreen House with Bob and her companion Miss Minnie Lawson, and it was here that Emily died. As with most of Christie's mysteries, this one offers the reader a host of likely suspects, including Emily's nieces, Bella and Theresa, her nephew Charles, Bella's Greek husband, Dr. Tanios, and Theresa's fiancee, Dr. Donaldson.

Poirot arrives on the case at the behest of Emily, a request that he received from after she is already dead! Before her death, Emily had sent a letter to Poirot detailing her suspicions and the fact that she thought that her life was in danger. Mysteriously, it took eleven days for the letter to reach him. By that time it was already too late to save Emily - but not too late to solve the mystery surrounding her death.

Why are there so many suspects in this case? The answer is simple, just before her death Emily changed her will to name Lawson as her sole beneficiary, thereby disinheriting all of her kin. As Poirot pries into the histories and the motives of the various players in this mystery, he uncovers numerous skeletons and multiple reasons each one may have wanted to see Emily dead. As well, he discovers how the deed was carried out, and the real reason behind why Emily 'had to die'.

This delightful mystery has been published under a variety of names, including Dumb Witness, Poirot Loses a Client, Murder at Little Green House, and Mystery at Little Green House. No matter what title you find this book listed under, you're in for a marvelous time as Poirot and Bob the Dog track down the wily killer of Emily Arundell.

SECRETS OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND

0 comments
Publisher : HarperCollins Publishers, Inc
Author(s) : T. Harv Eker

ISBN :
0060831944

Category : Self Development
If you are looking for a ‘change your life’ experience, read T. Harv Eker’s book, “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”.
Eker is the guy who was on the Today Show saying
“Give me five minutes and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!”
How can he make such a bold statement? Let’s take a look at his premise from the book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”…
  • We each have a ‘money blueprint’ that determines our level of financial success
  • Rich people think differently than poor people
  • Your thinking pattern leads to the results that you are getting
  • Learn how to think – learn the right strategies, use them, and you can change your money blueprint
You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.
Says Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, “By ourselves, we can never see what’s holding us back from reaching our full potential. Einstein said it best, ‘you can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it’.”
According to Eker, each of us has a “money blueprint” that, much like a set of architectural plans, is behind all of our thinking. Our thoughts lead to our emotions, which lead to the actions we take, which give us the results we experience in life. This blueprint is ingrained into our subconscious.
Thoughts > Emotions > Actions > Results
Eker views this blueprint kind of like the thermostat in a room. In the example he gives, if the thermostat is set for 72 degrees and the temperature drops, it kicks in and brings the temperature back up. If the temperature goes up over 72 degrees, it automatically shuts off until the temperature comes back down to 72 degrees.
If you consider that we’re talking about a financial blueprint, it doesn’t take long to figure out that he is saying we are already programmed (from early childhood) to succeed up to certain levels and if we go higher, we don’t stay there – we somehow create a circumstance that brings us back down; and if we drop lower, we find a way to get back to our programmed level.
Rich People Think Differently Than the Poor – In 17 Critical Ways!
“Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” covers a series of Wealth Files: 17 ways rich people think and act differently from everyone else. It also includes a multitude of principles. Although reading this list doesn’t begin to compare to reading the book with all its examples and illustrations, here are just a few of the Wealth File headings, taken directly from the book:
  • Rich people believe “I create my life.” Poor people believe, “Life happens to me.”
  • Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.
  • Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.
  • Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems.
  • Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.
  • Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.
Reset Your Financial Thermostat
Throughout the book, you will see mentioned his sold-out seminar, The Millionaire Mind Intensive, a 3-day weekend program designed to allow you to reset your financial thermostat.
I attended that program and I can tell you, you walk out of there a changed person.
This is not something where you walk away with a list of new ideas and a plan to ‘get started’.
No!and I don’t want you to miss what I am saying herethe change takes place right in the seminar. You ‘get it’ in a profound way. When you leave, you are not the same person who walked through those doors three days ago.
High-Energy Breakthroughs to Financial Freedom
You’ll experience high-energy breakthrough techniques and an accelerated learning process that leads to clarity on how you can overcome your negative, unproductive financial thinking and replace it with doable actions that lead to wealth.

User review
A great resource for the Pro Tools novice
I love this book, unreservedly and unabashedly. It’s entertaining and informative, and covers the concepts recordists like myself need to know, and skips all the junk recordists like myself haven’t any use for. It is concise where it needs to be, in-depth where it needs to be, and explains step-by-step how to use the program, hitting the high points while referring one to the manual for the deep, deep, DEEP capabilities of Pro Tools. As one who uses the computer basically like a very capable tape-machine, and as one who has no use for probably 80% of what the program can do, I found this book indispensable; it’s sitting next to my Mac, on top of the Digi manual as I type, and I refer to it almost every session for one thing or another. Even if I were into electronic music or into slicing and dicing performances unto `perfection`, I’d still have use for this tome, though I think I really love it because it seems geared towards musicians like myself: we’re tracking live bands, real instruments, and we’re used to using tape machines, and we don’t care one whit what depths one can plumb with the program. I want to capture performances quickly and easily, edit out the coughs and chatter, and this book has helped with that immensely. The Digidesign manual is a fine thing, but one problem with the transition from analog to digital is in nomenclature; i.e., if you don’t know what a process is called in the world of PT, good luck finding it in the manual. Things that should be easy to figure out and find in the manual, simply put, ain’t, and the volume becomes 750 pages of frustration. Enter this book: the information I need is right where I think it oughta be, and the session continues rather than me having to send my band-mates home (again) while I slog through the Digi manual. Thank you, John Keane.
