An Annoying Work of Swaggering Mediocrity

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 23:11:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - The autobiography of a sort of racist, middle-class, fairly typical white 25 year-old male. Shall I go on?

Supposedly, this book is the saga of a 21 year-old young man who becomes the guardian and primary caregiver for his seven year-old...

Lead Paint Was Safe In The Seventies

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 00:09:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - I should've known that anything for sale with the word 'magically' in its self description would be more chemical-laden than most typically chemical-laden products. But the markers were so big, so bright, so nicely packaged sitting there on the shelf of...

Stop, Here is the Empire of Death

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 00:40:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - It's a long way down lots of uneven stone or cement steps. They're sometimes steep, and it's a little dark. After going down, down, down, you wonder, how far down are we? Where's the attraction? Not really thinking about it, I figured we would go down...

Pregnant & Vegetarian in Paris

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 16:08:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - While a trip to Paris may seem like a gastronomic hardship for a vegetarian of the non-dairy-eating variety, a bit of grueling (haha) hands-on research disproves that assumption. My husband and I took an April '99 trip to Paris. As I was six months...

Health, Ecology, Ethics: Vegetarian Journal

Sun, 11 Feb 2001 23:48:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - One of the greatest magazines on earth...to someone like me, and a wellspring of information for anyone interested in an occasional vegetarian meal, animal rights, cruelty-free products, or recent scientific findings concerning meat and dairy...

Helianthus Vegetarian, Un-New York City

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 00:26:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - With its cheery sunflower motif reminiscent of a Grandma's house, Helianthus is so comfy and non-trendy I felt like I left Manhattan every time I stepped inside, though there are a few pleasant tables outside as well. Even with Lori Anderson ("O...

Not Perfect ...Tushies Disposable Diapers

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 01:33:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - The gel in commercial disposables is linked with sterility. Tests are not conclusive but research continues. An undisputed fact is that the chemical crystals in commercial disposables turn to gel when wet. The crystals "wick" your baby's...

Like a Walker for the Sleepy Mom

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 23:38:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - This is one of the items my husband and I, flustered first-time-parents, had secured previous to the early birth of our son. We selected it because of the baby carrier/carseat fitting right into the stroller and because of the biggish wheels.

On The Road: Captive Audience

Sun, 29 Oct 2000 01:43:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - Sometimes while on the road, one must succumb to hunger by visiting an establishment they'd rather not support. McDonald's, looming everywhere, sometimes becomes that establishment. Being a vegan, I have researched to find out the apple pies have no...

I Never Liked Uptown: A Certain Age by Tama Janowitz

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 00:15:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - I first read Tama Janowitz's work when she wrote a monthly column back in the early 80's for the magazine I worked at, the now defunct NYTALK. I loved the childlike tone she used as she wrote about the East Village and its art scene in all its decadent...

When The Nation Alerts Us...

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 13:40:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kludwig - When the alternative news weekly magazine The Nation chooses to cover a baby's program, you'd think either democracy itself was at stake or the show was extremely progressive and educational. Funny, when I read the article several years ago before...
