First Rate-Must Read
This is a fantastic book on the art of consulting. As a previous partner of McKinsey, I took a lot away from this book that took me 20 years to learn previously. I highly recommend this book to every level consultant, doing any type of consulting.

One stop source
Whether beginning a Liturgy Committee or reforming an existing one, this book covers the guidelines as to how to accomplish everyone's goal of great liturgy. It re-focuses the energy of the committee from the extreme details to the overall enviroment.

The explanation of what the committee should focus on, how to focus on the selected part of the liturgy, and evaulate how the effect of the focus of the committee, is invaluable to accomplishing the the committee's goals.

The book also addresses what 'everyone' thought a Liturgy Committee was all about and how to overcome those preconceived ideas and communicate the real meaning to the commuity.

Anyone who wants to have a great impact on the liturgy of their parish should purchase this book for each member of the committee.

Great for Kids and adults alike!
This amazing book far exceeded my expectations. For the past several years, on Saturday nights we have friends over, and take stabs at new drinks in various Alcoholic Beverages books. We prefer the ones that show the glass to be used to clear up any confusion. The problem of course is the Kids can feel left out of the party, and those "pretty glasses" often get replaced with our regular glasses filled with soda and maybe some grenadine and a cherry. Also the non drinking adults are left to fend for soda's themselves if they're the designated driver, or are just not in the mood for a drink.

The bar books we have do indeed have a small collection of some fairly tasteless non alcoholic drinks, most without a type of glass, or worse, for like 7-10 people at a mixing (punch bowls, etc).

This book takes care of every single one of the problems listed above. This beautifully illustrated and well bound book, looks like a black version of the more popular Boston Drink Guide. Hardbound with a spiffy cover.

Inside is a wonderful section on the Essentials of running a bar, including equipment, displays of every type of glass (everything from highball to hurricane, even a pilsner glass is included).

Descriptions of basic ingredients, garnishes, a liquid measurement conversion chart, and more take up the beginning of this wonderful book.

There are three different classes of drinks to be made. From Mocktails, which as you'd assume are mostly highball and coctail glass drinks. Also Drinks for all seasons, which are a wide variety of drinks for winter spring summer and fall, and holiday sections for each season. Lastly something called Sweet Endings, which make up the more exotic drinks, everything from spiced coffee drinks to floats and shakes.

Each recipe has an image of the glass used next to it. The directions are clear and the drinks make liberal use of a wide variety of measurements; from ounces, to parts of cups, tablespoons, and so fourth; making drink making fun and quite exotic.

The book states that the royalties from the sale of this book go to support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Which is very commendable. This wonderful book isn't full of those cutsie kiddie phrases for drink names, but contains things like Peach Sparkler, and Banana Hurricane.

It has the look and feel of a professional drink book, and makes liberal use of the various bar techniques, glasses, and equipment. So if your little one wants to be part of the action in a fun way, or if your teenager wants to throw a party and you'd like them to feel a bit more grown up, this is the book for you.

If I had one complaint it would be that the drinks are not indexed by ingredient, which admittedly would be a rather large undertaking with non alcoholic drinks, but you get used to that in regular bar books.

This is an incredible book, well worth the money, and the only book you'll need to cater to non-drinkers of any age without making them feel childish or different, which is worth its weight in gold.

Short poems, lavishly illustrated
A sparkle of verses sets off the stately paintings, month by month - with a New Years verse for good measure. Short enough to hold a child's attention, but lovely for adults also. Paintings are specific to the cycle of seasons in the Hudson River Valley, USA.

A wonderful movie with gorgeous animation!
Sleeping Beauty was, of course a good movie for those Disney fans who love the great artist's works. The three good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather offered a single gift to the newborn princess. But the evil Maleficent crashed the party and cursed Aurora by pricking her finger to the venomous spindle of a spinning wheel and die at her 16th birthday. As a Disney fan, I'm considering that this beautiful young princess will be saved at last by the third of the fairy trio, Merryweather, who had given to her this almost tiny gift: When Aurora pricks her finger into evil witch Maleficent's spinning wheel, she cannot die. Instead of death, the princess will sleeping into a deep slumber until a charming prince wake her with the true love's kiss. So Maleficent turns herself into an evil black fire-breathing dragon to stop Prince Phillip to rescue sleeping Aurora. But the good fairies combine their magic to the mighty Sword of Truth, chanting "Now, Sword of Truth, fly swift and sure. That evil die and good endure!", and the prince throw his magic sword straight as an arrow into the dragon's heart. I'm sure that's a nice movie and I strongly recommend it to all the children beginning from 5 to 12 years old.
