5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-04-22

This book is soo cool. My friends and I have a ball reading this book. It has great content

5 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners.......2007-04-18

This book was very helpful. When in doubt I turn to reading and I was completely clueless on how to please a man orally. I had no idea what to do before I read this book. I'm surprized my boyfriend put up with me feeble atempts, after learning how to perform correctly. I know he greatly appreciated this bit of literature, even though he laughed when I first recieved it in the mail.

I'd say it's an excellent book for beginners, and help me get the basics down real quick. Although if your looking for something more advance, I would probably try a different book.

5 out of 5 stars Fun! Fun! Fun!.......2007-03-26

I found this book to be really fun!
This book has fun and flirty illustrations throughout. I found it to be rich with quick tidbits that are called Sadie Sez they are neat to read. This book covers anything you need to know head to toe to please your man! It even has backdoor play and helps your relationship open new erotic doors. It will help with lube choices and fun cute names for different techniques she describes them in full detail and pictures! Tickle His Pickle by Sadie Allison is amazing and will even cover impotence in men and give us (the partner) "help" in deciding how to "help" him through it wink wink nudge nudge. As well as being a nice quick read it is a small book so you can fit in your carry on luggage or purse even a backpack. I would highly recommend this book to every type of couple or non couple. She has a few safe sex ideas thrown about in the book. (As her little friendly reminder). High quality material covered in this book. Tickle His Pickle written by Sadie Allison is not for someone without a funny bone (it will make you giggle at her creative take on the male anatomy)! I bought another copy to give away to my friend! Worth every penny I spent to buy this! Just a little recommendation check out her other books she is a spectacular author! Just type in her name and pow books written by her. Enjoy!

Book Description

It is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there's not a job to be found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When a new member of the club stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another. In her magical, memorable novel, Sandra Dallas explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars You wish you had friends like these.......2007-08-04

An 5- book, now that I think of it. Place: Dust bowl Kansas in the 30s. The women get together to sew. Friends you'd die for in the lonely and hard farm country in deep economic depression. Characters wonderfully present. And look at some of these names! Rita and Agnes Ritter, Mrs. Septima Judd, hushand Prosper, Opalina Dux, Ada June Zinn - husband Buck, Ceres Root, Ella Crook,Ben Crook, Nettie Burgett,husband Tyrone, Forest Ann, hill drifters Massie (Zepha, Blue, son Sonny and Baby). Hiawatha the hired hand. -
Queenie Bean tells the story of friendship, mystery, and loyalty that beats all.

5 out of 5 stars Loved this book and the friendships!!.......2006-11-07

I saw this book while on vacation and thought it would be a fun read. I love quilting and sewing, so I was drawn to it. It was more than just a light read though - I loved the characters and how their lives intertwined through many years. I enjoyed the fact that there was a little mystery woven into the story which was set in the depression era, but most of all I loved the loyal friendships, which were timeless. It is a book about how important friends are in our lives - it was truly a gift and one that I will share with my special friends. I couldn't put it down, and I was sad when it ended - like saying goodbye to a good friend.

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as some of Dallas' other novels..........2006-08-02

City and country living clash when the sophisticated Rita moves to a small Midwestern farm community during the Depression. Although she's always been content with her quiet life, Queenie suddenly feels inadequate beside Rita, whom she nonetheless tries her best to befriend.

When the body of a long-missing resident suddenly turns up, Rita's on the case. She wants to solve the mystery singlehandedly and write about her finds for an area newspaper...no matter who she hurts in the process. It's then that Queenie begins to realize just how much her family and friends mean to her, and how fortunate she is to have their loe and support in her daily life.

While the premise is good, I didn't find the writing to be as strong as some of Dallas' other books, like "The Diary of Mattie Spenser" or "Alice's Tulips." I liked Queenie Bean, and sympathized with her character; although I didn't think the readers were able to get into the protagonist's mindset as well as other books. It may, of course, simply be a subjective view on my part...so if you are a fan of Dallas, or historical fiction as a whole, I suggest you read the book and form your own opinion.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2006-05-16

I read "The Diary of Mattie Spenser". It was a much better book than this one. I never felt like I got to know the characters except for Queenie and Rita. I never cared for the whodunit part of the story. I agree with the reviewer who said it was like two different books. However, I didn't care for either one. I didn't understand the end of it. A very shallow read.

5 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Read.......2005-11-05

I'm not one to read fiction, but this book was recommended and after reading what it was about I thought I would give it a try. The book itself is very easy to become interested in early on and you can identify with the characters. The other reviews capture the people and story line, so I won't waste your time, but it is worth reading.

Book Description

Here are modern poems chosen for their individual excellence and their special appeal to young people. Exciting photographs accent the contemporary tone of the collection.

From lighthearted Phyllis Mc-Ginley to pessimistic Ezra Pound; from the lyricism of Edna St. Vincent Millay to the vigor of Lawrence Ferlinghette; from Carl Sandburg on loneliness to Paul Dehn on the bomb -- such is the range. The little known or unknown poet and the widely recognized appear side by siide.

Whatever the subject matter -- pheasant or flying saucer; lapping lake water or sonic boom; a deer hunt, a basketball, or a bud -- it is all poetry reflecting today's images and today's moods.

The editors spent several years bringing together 1200 poems they considered fine enough to include, then slowly and carefully sifted out of 114 which appear in the book.

Readers of Reflections on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle . . . and Other Modern Verse may well be tempted by Eve Merriam's suggestion in "How to Eat a Poem"

Don't be polite
Bite in.
Pick it up with your
fingers and lick
The juice that may
run down your chin.
It is ready and ripe now,
whenever you are.

5 out of 5 stars Remembering my childhood.......2007-09-06

When I was in grade school I bought this book through a reading
program. I had lost the book somewhere along the way. Having
this book again is like finding a long lost friend.

5 out of 5 stars A book I'll forever associate with pepperoni rolls and tuna subs and reading while I ate them.......2006-06-29

Unlike other reviews I've attempted, this one really matters for a host of reasons. For one thing I've read the book. Also I love the book. I value it enough to want to convey the "essense of it" and I'm recommending it to friends and you know how that goes. Say one thing a little off and a recommended book is never looked at again.
So with no small amount of weight here on my shoulders I will try and tell a reader what this book was like for me. Essentially I probably formed all my beliefs and values in the late 60's and early 70's- I think we should make wax crayon candles and frog plaster casts for our tables, I'm really into trolls though I no longer have or collect them, I recall thinking Woodstock sounded like the best idea ever except I'm not so much into mud. This book was published in 1966 and I got my hands on it in 1968 in a book order from Scholastic that I ordered from school. Likely I ordered not knowing what I was asking for, as I wasn't a particularily good reader then. But I got it and this was how I DISCOVERED POETRY. If I can be forgiven it's rather like your first love. You see the world through a different lens ever after. I know my peers were grappling with their own issues but I was in a life that needed poetic vision and I loved that this collection spurs you into thinking about nuclear winter, jazz, lonliness, kittens. It was just great. Vietnam body and injury count numbers appeared nightly on the TV then and I had friends with older brothers at war, so I think I was thinking rather much on life. The collection contains poems by Yvor Winters, Ferlinghetti, cumming, Hughes, Roethke, Leuders(who put it together and you must get his "Clam Lake Papers"-trust me) and so many writers that I read them from this initial introduction all my life.Talk about turning on... So what can I quote....well amazingly most of it:

how about:
Unfolding Bud

One is amazed
By a water-lily bud
Unfolding
With each passing day,
Taking on a richer color
And new dimensions.

One is not amazed,
At first glance,
By a poem,
Which is tight-closed
As a tiny bud.

Yet one is surprised
To see the poem
Gradually unfolding,
Revealing its rich inner self
As one reads it
Again
And over again.

Naoshi Koriyama

Wish I wrote like that one day out of my life. So if you work your way through the collection it's rather a soul opening experience. And perhaps a lifelong affliation I have with the text has allowed me to use it to propel this vision of "what poetry is.." into teaching in my classrooms. When I read the book as I was doing this morning waiting for the power to be reinstated after my husband forgot to get the bill in the mail...again...which is off topic...but aggrivating...I was thinking of how i feel sad sometimes I grew up. Well I miss those times in some ways...as I'm not really happy in the Bush vision. Teaching was fun, and now is hide and still try to make it fun. These poems coalesce for me a time spent down by the pond, or weaving my daisy chains. (which I'm still rather into) Again I recommend it to anyone who can read this review to the end and not declare the reviewer is on a liberal toot...tho it might be that.Yeah it is I guess that... I do think in the world I'm in today the values contained in this book, if one can call it that-I prefer "voice"-you know how we are- anyway it does talk to social action, ecology, compassion, veneration of soul. And we know how that's going these days....it's not corporate or commercial, upper classed enough or botoxed either. It's a book of a time I'd like to scoop up and dust this world in again like lucious powdered sugar. So if you get it write a review if you can capture the essence of why it changed my life for me.

4 out of 5 stars cool.......2004-11-08

I had a poetry project for school. this made it easy. Poems were ok.

1 out of 5 stars A great book!.......2003-10-09

I pulled this book off the shelf in our house and was suprised how much i enjoyed it! I actually read it for an English porject for 10th grade. I wish there were some other reviews of this book that were more critical because that's what i needed for the project...too bad, it is too good a book to say anything bad about it!!

5 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended For Out Loud Reading.......2002-06-03

In 1972, I chose several poems from Reflections... for a poetry anthology I compiled as a project for my Children's Literature course. This course was an elective course I took while earning my B.A. in teaching. For many years, this book was part of my classroom. Yesterday, I read "Crossing" by Philip Booth (about watching a train at a railroad crossing) from that book at a variety show at my church. Today, four people requested the title of the book I read that poem from! For 30 years, I have recommended this book -- I should get a commission on the number of copies I have sold! Makes a wonderful birthday, holiday, etc. gift for any child.

With even a casual reading of Lucy Norris's Pickled you will never again look the same way at cucumbers or cabbage. Or okra, or jalapeños, or eggplant for that matter. Welcome to the world of pickles and pickling. And, as Norris so ably demonstrates, it is one big world. She introduces Pickled with a bit of history and a lot of technique. This being a food preservation technology and all, it pays to be attentive up front here to working safely. Her chapters then break down as "Cucumbers"; "Cabbage and Other Leafy Greens"; "Root Vegetables, Eggplant, Tomatoes, Mushrooms and More"; "Mixed Vegetables"; "Fruit"; "Meat, Poultry, and Eggs"; "Seafood and Fish." For those who think pickles begin and end with kosher pickle spears, Norris opens the door to such delights as Shiozuke (Salt-Cured Japanese Cucumbers), or O-I Kimchi (Stuffed Cucumber Kimchi). And beyond the boundaries of the cucumber: Hot and Sour Pickled Cabbage, Pickled Ginger, Beguner Achar (Eggplant Pickle), Tomato Chutney, Romanian Pickled Peppers, and Green Mango Pickle. And that isn't even scratching the surface.

What truly comes clear is that pickling is not a difficult technology. With Norris's help and guidance you can give yourself permission to invent your very own pickling tradition, then fill the shelves of your pantry with unimaginably delicious treats, little surprises to pull out and bring to the table. Pickled truly is all about preserving a world of tastes and traditions. --Schuyler Ingle

Book Description

Who doesn't love pickles? Every cuisine has its pickle, and in Pickled Lucy Norris takes readers through cucumbers and beyond, presenting a varied and tangy collection of more than 80 recipes, each one passed down in families through the generations, as a proper pickle recipe should be. Homemade pickles taste better than any store-bought brand--and they're surprisingly easy to make.

The variety is astonishing--from simple to complex, some ready to eat within 24 hours and many that don't require canning. Not only bread-and-butter pickles, and traditional Mississippi chow-chow, but also Indian chutneys, and Asian pickles, from two great pickling cuisines. Other delectable recipes include French cornichons, Haitian pikliz, and Armenian preserved lemon. And for the truly adventurous, there's Japanese Dragon Cucumber, Full Moon Cabbage with Pomegranate Juice, Smashed Radish, and Good Mother's Salty Duck Egg. Sprinkled throughout with family and historical photos, there's a story behind every pickle.

5 out of 5 stars review book pickled by lucy morris.......2005-10-28

book is just great about pickling. tells about recipes how to
make pickling corn; pickles almost anything to the imagination well worth the money

4 out of 5 stars A great gift for the cooks on your list!.......2003-06-05

This book helped me fulfill my gift-giving needs for all the cooks on my list. It is not only informative and functional but it is so beautifully presented that it fits just as nicely on the coffee table as in the kitchen. Great recipes and great photographs combine to make one great book.

5 out of 5 stars Eye-Opening and Palate-Tickling.......2003-05-27

I think this book is fabulous. So cool that someone finally did a really nice book on this subject. The pictures are gorgeous and you can read it like a novel with all the little stories of different people and their backgrounds and recipes -- or you can get right into the pickling process and end up with stuff that you sort of never really thought you could make. I tried the mustard pickles and they were better than anything i've had out of a jar and took about 5 seconds to make. The Haitian Pikliz is insanely spicy, but I can't seem to keep it in my fridge between me and my husband. I can already see a gift idea for lots of my friends...a jar of pickles plus the book. How excellent.

5 out of 5 stars astonishing indeed!.......2003-05-24

For those interested in collecting single subject books, this is one to add to your collection. This basically covers all you need to know about pickles and how they are made throughout the world. It's like reading a personal note from a friend.

5 out of 5 stars Continue the tradition - or start one of your own.......2003-05-21

In a world filled with celebrity chefs pasting their face on every possible cookbook, it's refreshing to see someone courageously return the spotlight to the real stars: food and you. Lucy Norris --thankfully-- assumes nothing in her writing. In addition to the clear recipes and personal stories, she includes information on pickle history, directions for safe canning, equipment lists, ingredients, resources, weights and measures. The range of recipes will encourage beginners and inspire the experienced chef alike. And many of the recipes can be eaten within 24 hours - perfect for entertaining, gift-giving, or the impatiently hungry. One word of advice: buy more than one copy of the book. You will find yourself wanting to share these recipes with your friends and family, and this book makes a perfect gift. They'll be thanking you for generations to come.

In Pickles to Pittsburgh, the Barretts' sequel to the delightfully funny, bestselling Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, we check back in with Kate and Henry as they eagerly await Grandpa's return from an unusual vacation. Kate dreams about a postcard Grandpa has sent, and the story begins.

Kate and Henry pilot a plane, landing on a runway of crisp bacon strips next to a field of giant broccoli stalks and oversized hamburgers. Passing through an orange-juice rain, they approach the town of Chewandswallow, which "used to be a very ordinary town, except that instead of weather, food rained down from the sky for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." Times have changed in Chewandswallow, and readers will love finding out how storms of gigantic food threatened normal life until eventually the Falling Food Company was created, sending food to hungry people around the world. Ron Barrett's comical, detailed ink-and-watercolor illustrations and the lively story make this a satisfying sequel to a delicious classic. Pickles to Pittsburgh is an excellent bedtime book--just keep a snack handy! (Ages 4 to 8)

Book Description

In this charming sequel to the classic Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Kate and Henry eagerly await Grandpa's return from a vacation that his postcard says has been one of the best and most unusual ever. Thinking about that postcard Kate drifts off to sleep that night and...

"With Henry as my co-pilot..." she visits the strange land of Chewandswallow -- a land characterized by massive amounts of food, immense carrots, leafy jungles of lettuce, and tuna fish sandwiches so gigantic they have to be moved by helicopter. What the people of Chewandswallow are doing with all that food is most intriguing of all. Fans of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs will applaud this return trip with its underlying message of generosity and a world community.

3 out of 5 stars Eh..........2007-07-04

I grew up loving the prequel Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, so I bought this book a while back to complete the collection. Upon reading it however, I was quite dissapointed...it is okay as a children's book, but as a sequel it wasn't up to par with the original. I felt that this book lacked the charm that the original had, though the message about sharing is nice I guess. All in all if you're going to buy the book based on the original, expect to be dissapointed...but if you're buying it for a kid's collection it's alright.

5 out of 5 stars One of my FAVORITES!.......2007-01-04

This is one of the BEST kids' books around. A fabulous sequel to "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs", this is just one of those fun books to share wtih your kids, and a must-have on the shelf, even if your kids are too old to apprecite it - everyone needs a little silliness now and again!

The book can easily be read in an evening. It has interesting stories that should touch a nerve with anyone who deals with the public. A lot of what Mr. Farrell talks about is common sense, but they say common sense is very uncommon nowadays. I measure a book like this by what you can remember days or weeks later and our employees are using some of the quotes we've given them and they haven't even read the book. Like, who's the boss? The customer! What are the three most important words from a customer? I'll be back! It may be simple, but it works.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad.......2006-11-09

The person who posted that it was a group effort on the behalf of members of an anti-customer website to attack this book is correct. I know this because I was a member of the website but left in dsigust. What happened was that someone read this book at work and then posted stories about it at the website. Many members, who hadn't read it, decided to come here to amazon and give the book a bad rating. Pretty pathetic in my opinion because you can be darn sure those same people would have been mad as heck if a bunch of "Customers" trashed a book that was written from the employee's perspective. Anyway, on to this book: its OK. I don't agree with a lot of what the author says but its good to read just to pick up some pointers on providing good customer service. You basically have to pick out whats good and whats rather obnoxious and unrealistic. Thats my opinion!

5 out of 5 stars The Difference Between the Retail Men and the Boys.......2006-07-19

I have to agree with Mr. Kramer that if you have a strong negative reaction to this book, you are not cut out for the retail business. This book is a prescription to cure the "penny wise and pound foolish" sickness that plagues our businesses. It's basic philosophy is that if you don't want to remain a small-timer, you have to value your reputation for being graceful, generous, and kind to your employer, the customer. Businesses like Wal-Mart and McDonalds have proven this book's philosophy by becoming world-class in just a few decades, partly by implementing customer-service policies roughly similar to the ones described here. Yes, there are other more hard-nosed ways to make lots of money, but this book proves that it is possible to abandon the inflexible, every-man-for-himself approach and still build thriving business.

5 out of 5 stars If you didn't like this book, you're in the wrong business............2005-12-19

I am amazed at all of the negativity that reviewers have spouted regarding this tome. I'm convinced that the majority either have failed to read the book in the first place, or have become so jaded by dealing with the general public that there is no hope for them, short of professional counseling....

I have been in the business of customer service ever since I went to work for Bob Farrell in 1968 (I was part of the crew to open the third ice cream parlour restaurant to bear his name. This, by the way, was the location where the "pickle" incident actually occured.). Now, some thirty-eight years later, I STILL use the basic principles of customer service that I learned oh, so long ago, and I have shared my experiences with many through presentations at corporate sales meetings.

Contrary to the picture that some of these reviewers paint, the basic premise of this book is NOT that the customer should be allowed to treat you like a door mat, but rather that every customer has a "hot button", and the secret to success in customer service is simply to find it! Many times, it's easier said than done, but the key to successfull customer service can be summed up by fourteen words that adorned the wall in the service area of my Farrell's restaurant: "Greet them, seat them, sell them, serve them, THANK THEM, THANK THEM, THANK THEM".

Nordstrom, one of the most successful premium retail clothing chains in the country, had it's humble beginnings as a small shoe store in the early days of Seattle. Despite their tremendous success, the Nordstrom family knew the same secret as Bob Farrell--- I recall seeing it etched on the small card near the register in one of their stores. It simply stated their philosophy: "The only difference between stores is in how the customer is treated." How true!

This book is for the true customer service professional! If you are in the customer service business, and you ENJOY IT, you will love this book. If in the "biz", and you DON'T enjoy it, find a different line of work!

3 out of 5 stars Most reviewers haven't read the book.......2005-07-27

A large number of the poor reviews here are coming from members of a website that bashes bad customers. They work in one service industry or another and have all had the experience of dealing with jerks, ignorants, cheapskates, and abusive customers and are therefore very defensive and bitter about this topic. This book was discussed in theory on the website, as was the idea of giving it poor reviews. I highly doubt that these reviewers have all read this book. I have not read the book myself, either, so I can't comment on it. But if you are researching this book, please keep in mind that many of the negative comments are coming from people who have in all probability not read the book.

Book Description

This introduction to urban planning applications and problem solving with CIS is appropriate for students and professionals in the fields of geography, urban studies, urban planning, urban public health, urban environmental assessment, and hazard and emergency management. Technical jargon is minimized while the analytical concepts are fully described, enabling full use and understanding of GIS techniques. Infused in the included laboratory exercises are real-world activities that are often required in urban GIS projects but rarely included in prepared lab work, such as data acquisition, integrating data into the GIS, and manipulation of real data. Project design and analysis methodologies are also demonstrated with real-life examples of urban GIS projects.

in college textbook format.

5 out of 5 stars GIS for the Urban Environment.......2006-09-21

This is truly a wonderful book. Although I plan on using it as a text book for some of the courses which I teach, it is also a fantastic reference and refresher for even experienced geographers. To my knowledge, it is the most complete and well written book dealing with GIS in an urban setting. The text is clear and simple without being simplistic, the labs are well designed and do a good job putting theory into practice, and the case studies are varied and interesting. Kudos to Maantay and Zeigler for writing what is sure to become the indispensable Urban GIS text.

5 out of 5 stars Most wonderful gift book.......1999-07-23

Language of Flowers is full of classic poetry, mostly love poems, revolving around over forty well-known flowers. Each flower represents a character quality;e.g., innocence, female ambition, grace and elegance, etc. In addition to the poems, a brief paragraph or two is given explaining the history and use of each flower. Finally, nearly each page has prints of beautiful oil paintings, of course, with the given flower in it. Overall, a wonderful gift for a lovely lady or a poetically-minded man.

This is helping our child understand when we and other adults use idioms while it expands her vocabulary. My 5 year old (who reads on a 3rd grade level) loves it and reads it as a joke book while leaning things far ahead of her time. Terban includes the origin of the idiom and the cartoon picture drives home the message. This is a reference just a necessary as a dictionary.

This book is written on a child's level. It is very short in length and the book has stains on it from spills (I can only assume). I expected more and received much less.

5 out of 5 stars It's exactly what it is..........2006-12-27

If you're a new dad and worried about knowing all the stuff that's coming up pre baby... get this book... set it next to the bed, or the crapper and
read it bit by bit. It's infinitley less detailed than all the "mom to be" oriented books.. but it's just perfect for us dads who need to get the lay of the land first.

I also recommend the "laugh and learn" videos for both of you... a tad dated in clothing, but the information is good.

5 out of 5 stars A must have!.......2006-05-29

A great book for any expectant father! It's a fun read that really helps men understand more! A great shower gift too!

4 out of 5 stars Good information for the oblivious.......2005-10-19

The book provides simple, concise information about pregnancy, which every father-to-be should be aware of. There were even a few issues that my wife had not heard about before, but found them to be accurate when she questioned the doctor. However, for most of you very involved fathers-to-be, much of the information will come as no surprise, as you will, most likely, have already heard it from your wife's doctor. Nevertheless, the book is so informative that my wife decided to read it, also. My one disappointment was that the title of the book implies a toung-in-cheek approach, but, for the most part, the book is very dry. Easy reading. Most people should be able to read it in a few days.

3 out of 5 stars Not the best but o.k........2005-08-14

I found this book to be informative but I also found that the author tended to state his opinions as facts and at times he was a little insulting to men. If you just want a quick read to help understand what is going on with your wife and baby, it's a pretty good book. But, if you are looking for more, look elsewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Pickles and Ice Cream.......2005-02-18

This is an excellent book for your husband to read!! It is an easy reader for the men who have a busy life and would still like to know what is happening to your body and each step of the pregnancy. Each trimester is easily explained with definitions of the tests ad challenges you may face in the pregnancy. After coming home for a doctor's appointment that your husband may not be able to attend and you explain the different tests and reasons for them, Dr. B easily explains them in a language that is understandable to the husband. Excellent Book!!
