This is a book you should try

This cookbook offers up more than 200 wonderful recipes that might just been found in Genoa City's famous eateries. Many of the recipes have been donated by the actual stars of the show, such as Melody Scott Thomas, and creator William J. Bell. With such cute chapters like "Foods for Devastating Breakups" and "Cravings" (food the characters craved while they were pregnant), there are recipes here to satisfy any mood.

Full of great photos from the show, and lively character biographies, COOKING WITH THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS is a treat for show fans and cooking fans alike.

See the review below mine for an outline of the story. I've read Endless Universe about four times over the last 20 years. If you like good ole Sci-Fi, you'll like this book.

This excellent short story collection is the revised and expanded edition of _Endless Voyage_. The major difference between these two collections of short stories about the crew of the Explorer ship Gypsy Moth is that the latter includes "A Time To Mourn", which among other things explains how Gilmarina came to be named for Gildoran's childhood friend, lost in "Planets Are For Saying Goodbye".

Galactic civilization travels by Transmitter, a technology that allows people to step into a booth and travel anywhere to any receiver within a few light-years. Nobody needs to actually travel through the intervening distance anymore, except the Explorers: the small fleet of ships who discover new worlds, set up the first Transmitter hookups, and open them for colonization. They have their own culture, and even differ subtly between ships; this is the story of the Gypsy Moth, particularly Gildoran, who in ship-years is quite young, but with relativistic effects is far older in planet time.

Explorers are set apart, not only because of long years spent in isolation, and seeing sights and running risks that no one else ever faces, but because of the adaptations they need for the life they lead. Explorers must undergo DNA surgery as infants to survive drive effects - and the dangerous surgery can only be successfully performed in the drive field, so all Explorers are raised in the life. Raised, but not born; radiation effects leave them all sterile, with paper-white skin, while low-g gives them great height. They're only a legend on many worlds, but a legend people hate: they need to take unwanted babies to keep going.

The stories present in this edition are:

"Planets Are For Saying Goodbye" - The Gypsy Moth is preparing for departure, after spending 2 years opening up this new colony world, where Gildoran has spent his youth. Planning in terms of 5-15 year voyages, Gildoran is dispatched with his friend Ramie to buy 6 new babies from a Hatchery that's willing to deal with Explorers, even though his friend Gilmarin was lost on the same assignment. And in transit through Lasselli's World, 'Doran learns what it is not only to lose his oldest friend, but makes and loses another friend, who not only saves him from lynching, but gets him back to the Moth before liftoff.

"A Time To Mourn" - Nearly a year out, four of the six infants are still alive and beginning to talk; Explorers don't name the kids until about this time, when they're sure the children will survive the DNA surgery's aftermath. 'Doran has spent this year on Nursery duty, helping ensure that the kids will pick up human language and social skills, and not just become Poohbears in human bodies (the aliens who serve on every Explorer ship, raising the kids). He's both delighted that Rotation Day has arrived to liberate him from toddler-land, although secretly he'll miss seeing the brightest of the little 1-year-olds every day, a really cute young imp of a girl who'll need a name soon.

The Rotation assigns him to learn the skills of a Transmitter technician, and when Gypsy Moth discovers its next planet - a desert showing traces of a lost civilization - he's sent with the crew performing the first survey and Transmitter tie-in. What they find gives the world its new name, Ozymandias, and gives 'Doran the courage to suggest the only proper name for his favourite young imp.

"Hellworld" - Gildoran gets the official credit (mainly the right to name it) for discovering the lovely world, as the first member of the Bridge crew to spot it, and Gypsy Moth really needs the finder's fee for a good world, since they've been discovering a lot of bad real estate lately. They'd have settled for anything with iron-based biochemistry and heavy metals, but this one's pretty enough to be a resort. Unfortunately, the flowers of this paradise conceal deadly secrets, threatening even the almost-immortal Poohbears of the crew.

"Cold Death" - Even an uninhabitable world like Tempest can be good for something, if you're low on minerals when you happen to find it. Unfortunately, it's not quite as lifeless as it seems; the winds of Tempest carry a deadly virus that defeats all efforts to kill it, which drains the body heat out of its victims. If Gilban and the medics can't find a way to beat it, Gypsy Moth will become a floating tomb.

"A World With Your Name On It" - Gypsy Moth's crew has to swallow their pride and head for the nearest known world; they've had too many deaths and disasters, and haven't got the resources to properly open a good world even if they finally found one. But even if Lazlo welcomes them, how can they get enough manpower to return to space?

I recommend getting _Endless Universe_ over the shorter version if possible (they're both good, but this one has 1 more story than _Endless Voyage_, so it's more of a good thing.)

THE FIRST HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS by Edwin M. Bradley covers the period from 1927 to 1932, when sound films supplanted silents in Hollywood. THE JAZZ SINGER (1927) is celebrated as the first talkie and Bradley traces the first group of Hollywood musicals through Al Jolson's pioneering effort, early operettas, stage adaptations, college musicals, and the All-Star revues which most of the major studios mounted. For each of the 171 entries, Bradley provides full cast and credits, a summary of the plot, critiques of them based on his own viewing contemporary reviews, and makes an effort to place each film in its historic context. This volume is a good companion to Richard Barrios' SONG IN THE DARK (1995, Oxford University Press) which covers more or less the same subject and period; Barrios provides more social insight, but Bradley provides more hard information. One feature of THE FIRST HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS which is particularly welcome is a listing for each film giving every song and the performers who sang them. He also provides valuable information about non-musical performances in revue films. Included are a couple of appendices, the most interesting listing musical short films from the period covered. Much musical film history was made between THE JAZZ SINGER and 42ND STREET, and Bradley's fine volume helps the enthusiast and the casual fan sort out much of it.

For any true lover of early Hollywood Musicals, this book is the best organized and updated work around. In particular the author not only reviews the early works, but also relates whenever possible the availability of the work, whether it in fact may be a lost work or if the are any remaining copies left (even in private hands). This book is a must have for any movie lover seriously interested in the early hollywood musical

This book makes for a very enjoyable read. It would make a wonderful gift to any close friend. I highly recommend it!

This "friendly" compendum of philosophical essays on various human interactions that are friendships in essence is suitable reading for both scholars and undergraduates.

I was extremely surprized by this book. It is quite well-written and it tells a terrific story -- and though it is fully first-person, Omar Bradley comes across as a really fine guy. While he genuinely earned the rank, authority and privilege he ultimately exercised as a top US Army general, the story of his slow-but-steady rise through the hierarchy conveys the depth of personality he had achieved by the time he reached the upper ranks. A biography of George Marshall calls Bradley the "most effective troop leader ever produced by the US military system," and one can certainly see the validity in that appraisal by reading his autobiography. Bradley's honesty about other famous generals is interesting (though it is true he pretty much outlived all of them, and was able to have the final word) and appropriatedly honest/kind. Not far into the book, you wish you actually knew him, he seems the sort who would make a great friend.

Bradley's evaluations of several significant events make this book essential reading for students of 20th Century history. The perspective from which he witnessed everything was perfect for retrospective observation -- he wasn't so high up (like Churchill) that he had a global view, nor so low down that he could only see the trenches. And his micro-brief account of Anthony McAuliffe's "Nuts!" episode is just laugh-out-loud funny.

An outstanding autobiography of General Omar Bradley. Informative and homorous at times, but always entertaining. I found the work to have no slow areas, it held my attention throughout. Not only is it the story of Omar Bradley but it is also the story of the US Army for the first half of the twentieth century. Students of World War II history and the true military professional will enjoy this book. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I love this book! I have about 19 needlepoint books, but this is the one I go back to again and again. For those of you who have only worked with kits and lusted after the VERY EXPENSIVE Elizabeth Bradley kits, this is the way to go. If you are a cross-stitcher, the added plus is that Bradley advocates a cross-stitch because it makes the cushions more durable, it doesn't distort the canvas, and it's what many Victorian needleworkers did.

Elizabeth Bradley patterns are great to take with you on holidays, because you don't need a frame (as long as you use cross-stitch). The colors are beautiful, soft "Antique" English colors. Many of the patterns have a striking black background, and she gives guidance regarding color substitutions (both the sage green and pale blue work well). I've done a number of the patterns, and whenever I'm making a gift I do something from this book.

As the title suggests, the patterns are floral but there is a great deal of variety from striking lilies to Victorian wreaths.

Beautiful charted flowers, a very worthy successor to "Decorative Victorian Needlework". Book is organized by the seasons. A sampler for each season and several floral designs for each season. Informative, detailed, a conversion chart for the different brand needlepoint wools, and instructions on the preferred needlepoint stitch for working E. Bradley's designs. Plus, the delightful surprises in E. Bradley's books, in this one you must see the Plum Pudding chart. What a delightful Christmas gift a plum pudding ornament would be.

I found this book of remembrances to evoke many forgotten memories of my own childhood. Doreen Bradley Satter's vivid descriptions of events and happenings made the book extremely enjoyable and easy to read. The reader could enter the author's mind and live the past along with her. There were many humorous times as well as thought-provoking incidences in her remembrances.

This is a wonderful book for casual reading and the stories can be read over and over again with renewed enjoyment with each reading.

I think "THE GRANDMOTHER STORIES" is a must for all ages, but especially timely for the 'baby-Boomers' who also grew up in the 1950's. It is sure to evoke many memories in any reader.

This is a MUST READ book!

Another great book by Patricia Rushford, with her talented keep-you-guessing-to-the-end style! This is the third in the relatively new Helen Bradley Mysteries series. Readers of the Jenny McGrady Mysteries series (originally written for young adults) will recognize Helen Bradley as the retired cop grandmother whom Jenny often went to for advice.

Now with her own series, Helen is a solid, well-balanced Christian woman who exemplifies all that God intended women to be. She's one of those lucky travel writers who just happens to come across mysteries along the way, much in the style of the popular Jessica Fletcher (Murder She Wrote) mysteries.

Readers, Christian and non-Christian alike, will enjoy this great book and the entire series showing good solid family values and women at their best!

I recommend this book and EVERYTHING I've read so far by Patricia Rushford. She'll keep you entertained to the very end!

Another Pat Rushford mystery novel that delivers. Set in the San Juan Islands of Washington state, the author blends features of several points of interest around the islands into one little gem, "Paradise." Helen, the heroine, is called to Paradise by her aging uncle - the wealthy owner of the luxurious resort he has resurected there - to help with a family crisis. The prospect of a reunion weekend with family is first shaken by ghostly happenings then shattered by murder. It's refreshing to have a female lead who isn't either a. trying to be more of a man than the men in the story or, b. constantly looking to take umbrage at anything and everything the males around her are saying or doing. Helen is a main character/sleuth who is at ease with who she is and what she beleives. Solid faith in God and family values are the bedrock of Helen's charactor. The author maintains this consistently in Helen's thoughts and actions - large and small - and the reader never has to overlook glaring faux pas in charactorization. I eagerly look forward to the next release in this series. Pity Mrs. Rushford can't write as quickly as I can gobble up her novels!

This is an excellent reference tool for those who are first exploring the gigantic contents of this epochal book. Due to the extent of the contents of THE URANTIA BOOK, a guide like this is essential to prevent frustration and failure to locate and comprehend vital information. It also provides an invaluable concept coordination for new or seasoned readers. We owe the author a debt of gratitude for creating an accurate and helpful companion to the "Big Blue Book".

This book is beautifully written. It captures the essence of the Urantia Book revelation and presents it in a "reader friendly" format which greatly increases the potential for spreading the word about the Urantia Book and it's message. I have initially ordered 10 copies for distribution to my family and friends and expect them to be so well received that I will soon be back for more. Thank you, David Bradley, for this loving service to your fellow humans. I believe that in writing this book you were truly "following God's will".

I could not put it down. It was just as real and gripping as anything I've ever read. Grabbed me by the heart and never let go.

This book caught me at page one and never let me go. Not since Tuesdays With Morrie have I really been so deeply touched. The story comes full circle with a surprise ending that leaves you completely satisfied. And to think it's a novel of life lessons! A must read.
