Not very novel, creative, or different.......2007-09-01
I got better ideas from parenting magazines. These were not very novel, creative, or healthy. It was also very thin. It was just a bunch of different kinds of sandwiches and soups. I was looking for something to break out of the rut, and this was not it. If the ONLY thing you can think of is PB&J, then you might get something out of it, but for those of us who can think of at least a little more variety, don't waste your money. I think the people who rated this multiple stars must be trying to boost the product's rating so they can sell theirs back, lol. :)
Not as healthy as I had hoped.......2007-06-01
"Healthy" is a somewhat relative term. The homemade recipes inside this book are certainly healthier than processed junk food, but I don't consider ingredients like chow mein noodles, american cheese or mini marshmallows to be "healthy". The usual topics found in healthy cooking books like the importance of whole grains, the pitfalls of trans fats or the importance of using organic produce, are pretty much absent from "Brown Bag Success". However, in terms of making lunches kids will like, eat and not trade, the book is filled with ideas. If you have a child who really will not eat their homemade lunch, you are bound to find some ideas in here that will help.
As another reviewer already noted, the recipes are heavy on peanut butter. I would say about one third of the recipes are peanut butter based. So if you have a child who loves PBJ, and you just can't make another one, then this book might just be for you. My daughter really doesn't like PBJ anymore, so they aren't much help to me.
On the other hand, some of the non peanut butter recipes look good enough to eat myself. The "Apple-Cinnamon Sandwich" puts a cream cheese-apple-walnut-celery spread between slices of raisin bread. The "Mini Drumsticks" are chicken wings soaked in an asian marinade and then baked. The chicken tabouleh salad and sweet coleslaw look good as well (But I'm not sure my daughter would so much as touch them. She dislikes most salad.) The baked goods all look good as well.
All in all I just don't feel most of these recipes are healthy enough for my family. My daughter has a bit of a weight problem, so I have to be really careful with what she eats. On the other hand the ideas for making a packed lunch more appealing to children are helpful and some of the recipes look tasty.
A great addition to my lunch repertoire........2007-05-09
This cookbook is geared more for kids. However, I was stuck in a lunch rut, and turned to this cookbook for help. It is wonderful. All of the recipes are easy with a small amount of ingredients. It really has added a lot of spice to my lunch repertoire.
Try the Peanut butter chocolate chip muffins. They are to die for.
Great ideas!.......2006-08-31
I have been brown bagging lunches for years and thought I had heard it all but I am always open to new idea and this book had them. My kids and I all went through it together and tried each kid's picks. It was fun and it has some really good ideas.
Simple Ideas and Recipes for Great Lunches.......2005-07-01
I reviewed 6 different books looking for suggestions on lunch preparation for my 3 year old daughter. The presentation tips, menu planning and recipes I found here helped me to be better equipped to provide nutritious and fun lunches for my daughter. Many times I buy lots of books and take bits from each, this is an instance where one book has all of the information you need to get started.

Sew many Books! Sew little time!.......2007-09-26
I got the Sew Fast Sew Easy book and loved it so I bought this book also. It was cheaper than some of the others and well worth it. I had a really good time doing the projects in this book and learned some more on tailoring and heming. This would be a great gift for anyone who likes to get creative and mess around.
Sewing rules everything around me! Grab the scissors! Make your own clothes 'Yall! .......2007-09-25
I'm learning to sew and have found the most fabulous books. This is one of my favorites. It's no B.S. Other books I have show how to construct garments but this book is really good at explaining how to do more of the basic sewing and tailoring skills. I now know how to reconstruct my clothes to fit better and to make more original stuff. I don't look like my outfit came right off the rack at the Gap. You have to crawl before you can run and this book will get you through crawling and walking and into running. I'm a big fan of Rip It!. Here are some other books that have been realy helpful:

There are lots of good books about sewing available, for every skill level and fortunately this is one of the great ones. This book does a great job being "hip" and "trendy". The illustrations are done very well and are clear to understand. The ideas in this book are creative and original. You'll be glad you grabed this book. Also check out the Sew Fast Sew Easy book.

I recieved a copy of Sew Fast Sew Easy from Amazon on Friday. I'm a patternmaker and I bought the book since it seemed like the best one for my grandaughter. I looked it over and liked what I saw. It's right on with appropriate beginner projects. The goal is to encourage, not discourage their efforts (with projects beyond them) so they'll enjoy creating and keep sewing! This Rip It! book also has great projects for beginners to develop their sewing skills more.

I'm looking forward to learning more from the woman who wrote these wonderful sewing books. I recomend both of these great books for any level of sewing.

Where's the Sixth Star!.......2003-10-30
The writer dares to go where others fear! I am very familiar with the writing process and the issues that this writer must have faced with the story he told. A monumental task to say the least. His words flow and tell a wonderful story of love, traditon and life without the rose colored glasses. It is a great book and deserves six stars.
A outstanding look from the inside.......2003-10-08
Mr. Little Eagle has done something that very few writers have ever done. Taken me to the inside of a place I would never have had the opportunity to visit. What is amazing is that he does it with such ease and understanding. The places I went included the real world Native America, the deep and personal emotions of dealing with a serious illness and the lost of a loved one, his wife. The pace was easy, short chapters made the reading a gentle process. However, I found myself not taking a break. The next chapter lead to the next event which lead to the next enlightment.
Little Eagle's relationships and friends along the way are fasinating and unforgetable. Steve Old Coyote played a signifcant role in the first part of the book as well as Arvol Looking Horse and the Kitchen Boss. The second part of the book dealt with the remarkable events surrounding the death of his wife, Tammy. He also returns to Greengrass and other Rezervation loation and meets more people like Tom Calfrobe the Cloud Watcher, Marie Not-Help-Him and the dynamic Pete Catches. His love and dedication to his wife is so evident and he willing shares those emotions. The third part he once again returns to Greengrass and encounters the mystery of life. Of special note is the connection between Little Eagle and the Kitchen Boss.
Throughout the entire book you witness powerful and magical ceremonies and rituals. Sweatlodges, Sundance and Yuwipis. Aother standout in the story is the ledgendary Pipe Bag of Crazy Horse. So much stuff. I am looking forward to future books by Little Eagle.
Do not pass this book by. You will truly miss out on wonderful story and life.

WONDERFUL book. A real roller coaster.......2002-04-17
This book tells a WONDERFUL story of a white medical doctor caring for an indian child with pneumonia. When the child began his recovery; the boy's father tried to pay the doctor, and Dr. Brown refused payment because of the way the indians had been cheated and mistreated by the government that made treaties and habitually broke them, and white settlers.
The boy's father was stunned by the doctors kindness, and insisted on giving him a pipe bag with bead and quill work. (A pipe bag is traditionaly made from leather with two segments or pockets if you prefer. Traditionaly; the pipe bowl, and stem are kept separate, and are only put together when you pray with the pipe.). This book tells the story of this pipe bag (allegedly belonging to Crazy Horse), and the story of the three people that cared for this pipe bag before returning it the Sioux.
This book also tells the story of Lionel Little Eagle (the third keeper of the pipe bag), and his beloved wife "Tammy" that was dying of cancer.
This book takes you on a roller coaster of emotions. In some places you will laugh hystericaly (as in 'Hey You' on page 37, 'Old Coyote's encounter with the kitchen boss' on page 46 and others. In other places prepare to find tears welling up in your eyes where Mr. Little Eagle relates the story of his wife's passing. and teaching "Trapper" (the son of Mr. Little Eagle, and Tammy" why they use the pipe (like making a telephone call to God), and Trapper picks up the pipe and puts it to his ear like a phone and wants to talk to his mom.
There are many nice illustrations.
On pages 59-62; Mr. Little Eagle relates one of the best versions I have seen of the White Buffalo Woman legend that I have seen.
In my humble opinion; if this book does not reach you; you do not have an open mind and heart.
However; with the platitudes mentioned above; I am disappointed with some portions of this book.
1. On page 47-48 Mr. Little Eagle relates the words of an elder that states in olden times the pipe was much larger about the size of a child's head, and his anger about non indians having the pipe. Mr. Little Eagle does not seem to share the attitudes of the elder because on page 9; he refers to himself as "a simple member of the human race" which is quite similar to mine "A human being; doing the best I can."
a. I know a gentlman that mines the sacred stone in the pipestone quarries (He sent me a photocopy of his permit to mine the stone). According to my acquaintance; it is extremely unusual to find veins of pipestone (Catlinite) more than 3 inches thick, and in order to get the sacred stone; they sometimes have to go through veins of quartzite up to 8 feet thick to reach the three inch vein.
b. Attitudes of anger and bigotry as expressed by the elder is making the problem worse not better. I want to see Nick Black Elk's vision of the flowering tree, and people living together in peace and harmony come to pass. People (indian or not, elder or not that have anger and hatred for non indians carrying the pipe in a sacred manner is causing disharmony. Evelyn Eaton the author of "I Send A Voice" relates her encounter with Native American anger and bigotry that was directed toward her because she carried a pipe. I have received many vitriolic comments from alleged indians after reading some of my reviews.
2. On page 142; Mr. Little Eagle tells of his meeting Wallace Black Elk the "grandson" of Sioux Holy Man Nick Black Elk. Wallace Black Elk is NOT the grandson of Nick Black Elk. I have VERY much respect for wicasa wakan (holy man) Nick Black Elk. I have NO respect for this new age flim flam man that inflates his ancestry to make himself look better. I know a man that was named by Ben Black Elk (the son of Nick Black Elk), and I know the real family of Nick Black Elk have been confronting this myth for years. Nick, and Wallace are not even member of the same Sioux sub tribe. Ben Black Elk acted as the interpreter for the two authors (Joseph Epes Brown "The Sacred Pipe", and John G. Neihart "Black Elk Speaks" because his father spoke almost no english, and the authors did not speak the Sioux language.
3. on page 209 another bigoted elder states "The people who blindly and deliberately scar and hurt Mother Earth. who line our sacred Black Hills with black pavement. They are the enemy! That is where our fight lies. (Isn't this inciting people to riot and commit violence? In my humble opinion; the BEST way to reach harmony is to put the past behind us, and go forward into the future; there all races teach one another, and explain why things are considered sacred, and what it means to use a pipe in a sacred manner. We can only do this if we open our hearts and minds, and allow the past injustices to remain in the past. I walk the red road because this path answers my spiritual questions and works for me.
Other than these problems; the book conveys a wonderful story, and shares some Native American Philosophy.

A tale of Spiritual growth in the Native American community.......2001-03-06
"Greengrass Pipe Dancers" starts out with an intriguing story of how the author came to be the caretaker of Crazy Horse's pipe bag, and continues with a powerful story of Lionel Little Eagle's journey to return the pipe bag and to seek spiritual guidance dealing with his wife's cancer. The reader will join Little Eagle in Native American ceremonies both fascinating and uplifting. A sense of family and belonging in a community is strong throughout this book. Many emotions surface as Little Eagle searches for the next caretakers of the holy pipe bag while separating the pain of losing his wife from the realization that she also is to return to her spiritual beginning, just as the pipe bag must. Ultimately, the wonderful cycle of life vividly described here leaves you wishing Little Eagle will write again soon.
A brilliant witnessing of light and healing........2001-03-03
Greengrass Pipe Dancers is both a story of pain and death and a search for healing and transformation. The first focus is on the history, safekeeping and restoration of a holy pipe bag, perhaps once belonging to Crazy Horse. The underlying text is the author's experience of healing and acceptance in mourning the passing of his beloved young wife Tammy through witnessing the rite of the Sun Dance and pipe dancers with the Lakota of Greengrass, South Dakota. Lionel Little Eagle sees his own totem animal and receives his sacred message from the experience. Straight from the heart, Greengrass Pipe Dancers is the author's testament to the power and beauty of Lakota spirituality, and the miraculous healing essence of the beautiful pipe bag he is given to carry and protect until a sacred resting place is found.
The true story of the pipe bag is recounted according to Lionel Little Eagle's wife Tamara and other traditional sources. The pipe bag was originally given by a Lakota chief to Dr. H. A. Brown (Tamara Brown's grandfather) in 1895 after he saved his son from pneumonia. This tale has been told in another book, Warriors of the Rainbow, written by Dr. Brown's son, Vinson. In Greengrass Pipe Dancers, Lionel Little Eagle, a Micmac Native American, continues the sacred obligation of being the pipe bag bearer while presenting its history and his wife's story. The wonderful thing about the pipe bag history is it is directly connected to the founding of Naturegraph, a publishing house founded by Vinson Brown to publish Warriors of the Rainbow. Naturegraph continues to publish works on Native American history, spirituality and culture, thus fulfilling the dreams of both the original Oglala chieftain pipe bag bearer and Dr. Brown.
The author introduces the main elements of the story simply. They are Tammy, the Healing, the People, the Pipe Bag, and the Dance. Each element is key, but it is their interplay, the dance of words, visions, and songs that emblazons the heart of the book. Greengrass Pipe Dancers is voiced from the essence of sacred enlightenment, which includes death, pain, and deep celebration of life. Partly because of its simple, unassuming style, Greengrass Pipe Dancers may be read as a sort of personal journal of seeking spiritual enlightenment. The subtext is clear and undeniable, a brilliant witnessing of light and healing.

there was times i could put this book down. overall it is worth reading. i love the way the writter tells you his story then, the way he ends the book. the title speaks for itself.
Funny in unintentional ways.......2006-07-02
"Home of the Body Bags" contains so many typos that reading it is very, very funny in unintentional ways. These are -verbatim- quotes from the text, some of them almost make sense:
* I literally believed in the Old Italian Mafia saying: "Keep people in depth, so they owe you favors."
* The day of the hit, the module was eerie quit. Fish was the only person denied the knowledge of knowing his faith.
* I watched from a distance as the element of danger began to swerve its head.
* After a lengthily wait the Asian nurse reappeared and bee lined on me with packages of large needles, guards, sponges and an assortment of other things...
*I quickly drew the conclusion that her driving was up to part.
* I counted ten of them, thus covering all angels of attack by following the Sun Tzu strategy...
* The knife was nine inches long, and it had all the elements of danger within every inch of its shape.
* I was braising myself for the next staple...
* I launched my attack with the swiftness of a fighter jet doing Mach 6 in space.
* I slid out of bed with the intention of brushing my teeth, and just then, Sad Dog made his move placing himself on a pedestal.

I found the book to be a very authentic journey into the daily life of a gang member. The fears, bravado, inscurities and recklessness are there for all to see. But what most impressed me was Terrell Wright's intellect, the guy is obviously very bright and his ability to paint a clear picture for the reader is superb! The book is a page turner, and Terrell's use of metaphors and descriptive prose are excellent.
I have read "Monster" and also "Make Me Want to Holler" by Nathan McCall. Home of the Body Bag ranks with all the others. The difference is, for better or worse, Terrell Wright is an unapologetic gangsta!
Two words............2006-03-18
...PROOF READER! Seriously, this book could have been a lot better, if only they would have employed someone to proof read the book before it was released to the public. There are too many grammatical errors to mention here, but because of the poor writing it was hard to finish the book. Otherwise it wasn't a total loss. It was relatively interesting, but certianly not as good as "Monster," or "My Bloody Life," both of which I would place at about 4 stars. That is of course, my own personal opinion, but read it for yourself. I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about. P E A C E

Killing in the name of ..........2001-10-28
I try to keep my reading-selection as divers as possible and sometimes that works out good and sometimes less good, or even pretty bad. In this case it worked out more than satisfying.
Without giving anything vital away, it's about:
A team of two bounty-hunters, nicknamed Clownface (in a hilarious outfit, especially the mask) and Pops, have recently been the target of a hit themselves. One of them was injured and, what's worse, his fiancee got killed during the attack. They want revenge for it but they also need their time to make money. Their financial situation isn't exactly impressing.
To make matters worse, the daughter of Clownface (named Panda) comes knocking on their door after not having seen her father in 10 years. She turns out to have become a smart-mouth and a pain in the butt. AND the wants to join her father and become a bounty-hunter (or like they call it, "bodybagger") herself.
The story itself isn't the most innovating thing you'll ever see, but it's good enough. And what's more important, the book's biggest power is the superb dialoguing (comparible to Brian Michael Bendis', the writer of Ultimate Spiderman and Sam & Twitch among other things). This makes it very humurous without making it a 'funnybook' and keeps it action-packed as well. The art is a bit of a mix between Sam Keith (The Maxx) and Greg Capullo (Spawn), which works out pretty well. A nice extra is that the covers of the original issues are reprinted in the back of they book. Not a 'dealwrapper' but nice-looking nonetheless. Your money's worth.
Great book!.......2000-03-31
This book rocks and I highly recommend it to all comic book fans and anyone who enjoys great artwork. Jason Pearson's story is exciting and his artwork is explosive.
Jason Pearson at his best with superb artwork.......2000-02-25
"Body Bags" collects the mini-series by Jason Pearson, who is rumored to be making a sequel. Anyway, this book features his best artwork and porbably the only collection of just his writing and art talent. The story is action-packed, violent, and at times, funny. I highly recommend this book to comic book fans (in particular the ones that are tired by the mainstream) and sci-fi fans. Anyone looking for a fast, entertaining read could pick this up. It is a generational story of bounty hunters...expect some blood.

Customer Reviews:
good buy.......2007-07-02
This is a good quality tarot bag which nicely holds my oversized Thoth cards. I never realized how much easier a bag is to handle than the boxes cards come in, or the wooden boxes I had been using. I'm now in the prossess of buying bags for all of my tarot decks.
