foods and processed foods like deli meats. In the first two weeks on the plan, I had lost 11 pounds. Now this plan is not for the faint of heart, it requires a change to your way of eating and living; BUT, it is worth it! You are taking supplements to improve your overall health and help out your liver. You're getting the poisons and toxins out of your system by following this plan; and, your body will thank you for it... I don't hear those strange gurgle noises in my body that were coming from the liver area; plus, I sleep like a baby. Thank you, ALG!!!
The first two days were difficult, I was irritable, and tired due to withdrawal symptoms forewarned by the author. But I pulled through and on the third day, I was feeling fine again. By the end of the week, I had lost 9 pounds! I have never been able to lose this much weight in such a short time in my life. The great thing was that I did not have to miss any meals or spend 4 hours at the gym.
I still have 25 more pounds to go, but I justed wanted Dr. Gittleman to know the most amazing thing. Although I only stuck with the Plan 1 for a week, I have not gained back a single pound even though I am now keeping my diet prior to Fat Flush. It know is not the best practice, which is why I am planning to go back on the Fat Flush Plan very soon.
For those of you who are wondering if this works, please give it a try. I feel that the ingredients in the recipes promote great health and you should do it for your health, if not anything else.

I read this book, and I have no idea what book Rand was skimming through when she arrived at her comment but it surely wasn't this one. This book is not "evil" in any way, shape, or form! I found it to be a tightly focused exploration of the rigidity of socially accepted relationships versus the desire of the individual to be personally fulfilled. In presenting this conflict, Tolstoy was not using Anna to illustrate the evils of adultery or non-conformity. I do think he targeted the tragic contrast in how male and female adulterers are treated. He also, through Kitty and Levin, explores the constraints faced by women as they seek true love.
Tolstoy is a consumate creator of three-dimensional characters. In addition, the scope of this novel is unbelievably large, exploring all types of relationships from old married couples to swinging singles. With a story this intricate there are probably dozens of interpretations as to what it all means, and I enjoyed reading other reviews here and learning what other people thought. It added to my own understanding. Only great literature can still generate that kind of reaction over a century past the original publish date.
Despite the obvious merit of this book, I almost wish I could go to 4.75 stars rather than 5. It may seem picky, but I feel that the way Tolstoy stapled his own socio-economic views onto this novel - especially and most glaringly at the end - was just awful. Those views seem out of place in this story, and should have been developed in some other book. Towards the very end, I felt these passages became especially pointless and even immature. He made the same type of error at the the end of "War and Peace," as well.
In any case, other than that one slip there's nothing but brilliant writing here. "Anna Karenina" is easily one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature.
Everything you've heard and read about ANNA KARENINA is true. It is one of the finest, subtlest, most exciting, most romantic, truest, most daring, charming, witty and altogether moving experiences anyone can have. And you don't have to slog through pages and chapters to find the truth and beauty. It's right there from the first, famous sentence: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
This new translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is wonderful and deserves your attention even if you already have a favorite version of the book. Pevear and Volokhonsky are considered "the premiere translators of Russian literature into English of our day." Working, as I do, in the Theatre, I hope they take on some of Turgenev's plays.
Anyone who believes in the power of Art, especially Literature, must buy and read this book. I promise it can change your life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The book was written at the start of 1999, when Golden had hopes that Five would someday be big in the U.S. Unfortunately their second album stiffed in the U.S. and Five's manager Bob Herbert died. In a way anyone who reads this book knows how the story ended even though Golden herself did not.

This book covers a year in the life of her garden Balderbrae--a summer home she and her husband owned and developed in New York state. Although a book written in 1918 might strike one as non-relevant to modern homeowners with smaller grounds, it is not. "Color in My Garden" still resonates with wonderful ideas.
Mrs. Wilder was an artist who created three-dimensional art with live plants of varying colors, textures, heights, and scents. She not only had an esthetic sensibility, she was a horticulturalist who understood the nature of her medium. Her descriptions of plants and her garden designs are still relevant. Many of her ideas have been copied--over and over--but most of the copies are not as striking as the original.
Mrs. Wilder believed lighting was a critical element of garden beauty. She was one of the first persons to develop a white garden and a scented garden for moonlight nights. She also developed gardens that looked best at high noon in summer. She understood that light changes all year as well as all day, and that even moonlight varies with the seasons.
Some of her plant combinations included Lillies and Irises, Hollyhocks and Delphinium, and Red Poppies and White Valarian. Since her grounds consisted of many plots, one could replicate a particular beds in a small yard. I have planted Red Poppies with White Yarrow in a small urban garden.
Lately, I've read many articles and pieces describing garden thugs--a term I first saw in Allen Lacey's "Garden in Autumn." Mrs. Wilder called them outlaws many years ago. I would have given this book 5 stars, but the illustrations are not terrific--they're pretty, but are watercolors that may disappoint the snapshot-camera-loving reader.
